Book Description
Excerpt from Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul That the subject on which this humble volume treats is vastly solemn, and deeply searching, every true believer in Jesus must acknowledge. The existing necessity for such a work has long impressed itself upon the Author's mind. While other and abler writers are employing their pens, either in defending the out-posts of Christianity, or in arousing a slumbering church to an increased intensity of personal and combined action in the great work of Christian benevolence, he has felt that if he might but be instrumental, in ever so humble a way, of occasionally withdrawing the eye of the believer from the dazzling and almost bewildering movements around him, and fixing it upon the state of ms own personal religion, he would be rendering the Christian church a service, not the less needed and important in her present elevated and excited position.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1847 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX. THE LORD, THE KEEPER OF HIS How frequently, clearly, and solemnly does the Holy Ghost unfold this great truth ift, bis word, ttiat salvation is entirely in and of God, irrespective of all worth, worthiness, or power of the creature; and that as the salvation of his covenant people Is supremely and solely his own work, so in every respect it is infinitely worthy of himself. God can do nothing but what harmonises with his own illimUak ble greatness: he can never act below himself. 4 L the productions of his creative power in nature, the events of his directive wisdom in providence, bear the impress, from the smallest to the greatest, of his " eternal power and Godhead." But in salvation, it is supremely and pre-eminently so. Here, the whole Deity shines; here, the entire Godhead is seen; here, Jehovah emerges from the veiled pavilion of his greatness and glory, and by one stupendous exercise of power, and by one august act of grace, and by one ineffable display of love--before which all other revelations of his glory seem to fade away and well-nigh disappear--walks abroad among men in his full-orbed majesty: " And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God." This glorious "tabernacle" that is " with men," what less is it than the manifestation of Jesus in our own nature--God manifest iiT'the flesh? Truly may we say, "His glory is great in our salvation." Is he the only-wise God ?--his salvation must needs be the most profound result of that wisdom. Is he most holy ?--his salvation must be holy. Is he just? his salvation must be Just. Is he gracious...

Book Description
Excerpt from Personal Soul-Winning No higher honor could be conferred upon the Christian, and no greater privilege be given the believer in Jesus Christ than to be associated with Him in the great and blessed work of bringing a lost world to the knowledge of the truth. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us," to put us into so great a ministry. It is not possible for every Christian to be a preacher or a teacher in spiritual things, for these are special gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit upon certain believers, even as it hath pleased Him. But there is no Christian, however humble or insignificant he may feel himself, or others esteem him to be, who is not appointed by the Spirit to be a winner of souls. One often wonders whether the honor conferred upon the believer of being a soul-winner is not greater than the conferred gift of teaching or preaching; and whether or not at the last day, when the rewards are distributed, the personal soul-winner will receive as great, if not a greater reward than many a teacher or preacher. Daniel 12:3 (R. V.) is filled with glorious comfort for the man who seeks to turn sinners to God: "And they that be teachers shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever." That the individual Christian may be prompted, encouraged, and equipped to do this kind of Personal Soul-Winning work, is the purpose of this book. Its popular or conversational style of address will, it is hoped, enable the book to more thoroughly accomplish its purpose.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Natural History of Religious Feeling: A Question of Miracles in the Soul The deductions made from this assumption are of the gravest import. It is alleged, or im plied, that those who have had the experience of conversion are the chosen of God, that they are so changed in nature as to have become new crea tures, are the children of God, and are destined to an eternity of blessedness; while those who have not had the experience are the rejected of God, are children of Satan, and are destined to an eternity of woe. Consequences so momentous would naturally give pause to a person of proper sensibility, before adopting the premises from which they are drawn.
