Have you struggled to overcome severe and persistent sinful temptation? Have you found it impossible to believe that your sins could be forgiven? Such was the experience of this young student in the 1870s who, in his distress, went to visit a friend and there found freedom and joy through this brief writing contained in the Swedish newsletter Pietisten.

This book explores the many strands that connect faith and life and puts everything into proper perspective for Christians living and serving in God's kingdom, encouraging them to live a godly life motivated by the Gospel. Includes Scripture index and study questions.

This helpful evangelism tool includes the Gospel of John in a handy booklet form and outlines the plan of salvation.

Everyone’s idea of discipleship is different. Some people emphasize evangelism―sharing their faith. Still others promote a hierarchical system for spiritual growth, a way for older Christians to pass on best practices to younger believers. Yet, both ideas are incomplete. Real discipleship is so much more. This book helps us understand and experience the fullness of discipleship as God intended. It combines the mess and the weight, the imperfection and transformation, the honesty and wonder of being a disciple who revolves around Jesus. Here is a practical guide to discipleship that is Spirit-filled, Christ-centered, field-tested, and easily implemented.
