Christ promised us a life characterized by overcoming. Yet many of us miss out on the victorious life Christ won for us because we are trapped in guilt and shame, immobilized by fear, or stuck in old patterns of thinking.

This classic work from legendary Bible teacher and evangelist Dwight L. Moody shows you how you can have confidence in Christ's call on your life, and thus overcome the trials of this world to experience the full joy of the Lord, both in this life and the next.

D. L. Moody writes, “It is like this. When a man enters the army, he is a member of the army the moment he enlists; he is just as much a member as a man who has been in the army ten or twenty years. But enlisting is one thing, and participating in a battle another.”

Originally published in 1894, The Overcoming Life is one of those little books you just have to read. It is quintessential D.L. Moody. Its blunt edge drives hard at the ways in which Christians are overcome in this life (spiritual warfare, sin, distraction, etc.) and then gives ample assistance as to how we might begin to live a life in Christ that overcomes the things that once took hold of us.

As Sanders himself admits, "To conceive and portray a perfect character is beyond the powers of erring man." Yet it is Christ whom Sanders reflects upon in this thorough, readable, and timeless work. Beginning with Christ's birth and concluding with his impending return, Sanders steps through every stage of the life of Christ. Sanders' purpose is clear: "It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit, who delights to reveal the things of Christ to us, will unveil his glory to those who read this book." - Back cover.

Author J. Oswald Sanders, a 20th-century lawyer who became missionary statesman, follows Jesus from His preexistence to His earthly life and second coming. All throughout, he upholds Jesus as the powerful and perfect Savior of the world, silencing against any who would diminish His uniqueness.

A beautiful and thought-provoking tribute to our Great Savior, The Incomparable Christ will leave you with a peace and joy that only comes from tasting and seeing that the Lord is good.

J. OSWALD SANDERS (1902-1992) was a Christian leader for nearly seventy years and authored more than forty books on the Christian life including The Incomparable Christ, Spiritual Discipleship, Spiritual Leadership, and Spiritual Maturity. He left a promising law practice in his native New Zealand to serve as an instructor and administrator at the Bible College of New Zealand. Dr. Sanders later became general director of the China Inland Mission (now the Overseas Missionary Fellowship), and was instrumental in beginning many new missions projects throughout East Asia.

Why do some prayers move mountains and others, barely stones? In Prevailing Prayer, one of the greatest evangelists of all time explains the elements of biblical, powerful prayer. A treasure trove of stories and illustrations, it will renew your desire to pray and guide you in best practices.

For those who wonder where the power is, who long to see new spiritual depths, who need reminding that God can change a life, Prevailing Prayer is inspiration to pray humbly and often—to seek by prayer to “move the Arm that moves the world.”

“[Prayer] has been the theme of prophets and apostles, and of all good people in all ages of the world...”

Where God has worked, the people have prayed. Hannah pleaded for a son and received Samuel. Elijah called on God and saw fire come down. Paul and Silas prayed and the prison shook.

DWIGHT L. MOODY (1837-1899) was a highly acclaimed late 19th century evangelist. He founded the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago in 1886 and the Bible Institute Colportage Association, now Moody Publishers, in 1894. From training women, to reaching out to lost children, to bridging the gap between denominations, D.L. Moody was unlike any other. He is author of a number of books including Christ in You, Heaven, Men God Challenged, and Spiritual Power. His life is also chronicled in A Passion for Souls: The Life of D.L. Moody by Lyle Dorsett. He and his wife, Emma, had three children.

When George Mueller could not get it out of his mind to open a house for orphans in late 1835, he purposed to do so "that God might be magnified by the fact that the orphans under my care are provided with all they need, only by prayer and faith."

For over sixty years George Mueller wrote down the details of the Lord's provision. Thousands of orphans depended solely on Mueller, and Mueller depended solely on the Lord. Prayer is an urgent matter that always yields crucial results. Through his narrative account, Mueller reveals how powerful and spiritually rewarding prayer can be in your life.

GEORGE MUELLER (1805-1898), evangelist and philanthropist in England, was a man of prayer and strong faith who depended wholly on God for his temporal and spiritual needs. During his time serving as pastor at a church in Bristol, England, his famous work with the orphans began when two young children were thrown upon the church's care. Mueller resolved never to tell anyone what his needs were. He told them to God and confidently expected them to be met. Over his life, he handled more than $8 million, although his own worldly possessions were valued at about $800 at his death. He is author of the book Answers to Prayer.

"It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men and women great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God....These can mold a generation for God."

"The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men and women."

The words of E.M. Bounds read as though they were written today: “So we come to one of the crying evils of these times, maybe of all times—little or no praying.” Bounds chastises: “Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.” He instructs: “The man—God’s man—is made in the closet.” And he inspires: “A prayerful minister has passed beyond the regions of the popular…into a sublime and mightier region, the region of the spiritual.” Written for both leaders and laymen, Power Through Prayer will change the way you pray.

Pastor and civil war chaplain E. M. Bounds penned his slim classic on prayer for the simple reason that Christians don't pray enough. "The little estimate we put on prayer is evident from the little time we give to it," he wrote. "Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still."

Bounds' simple, concise volume can help all Christians rediscover the source of spiritual power in their life.

EDWARD MCKENDREE BOUNDS (1835-1913) was born in Missouri. He studied deeply in the Scriptures and was greatly inspired by the writings of John Wesley. At the age of 24, he felt called to be a preacher and became a Methodist Pastor around the time of the American Civil War. At the age of 58, and for the next nineteen years (until he went home to be with the Lord at age 77), he began to write books. It is said that he prayed daily, from 4 A.M. to 7 A.M., before he would begin work on his writings. Bounds is author of many books, including Purpose in Prayer, The Weapon of Prayer, and The Reality of Prayer.
