Living or Dead?: A Plea for Wholehearted, Genuine Christianity

Author(s): J. C. Ryle
Publisher: Aneko Press
Price: FREE

Are you indeed alive unto God? Can you say with truth, “I was dead and am alive again; I was blind, but now I see”? Then accept this word of exhortation and lean your heart toward wisdom.

Are you alive? Then see that you prove it by your actions. Be a consistent witness. Let your words, works, ways, and attitudes all tell the same story. Do not let your life be a poor, sluggish life, like that of a tortoise or a sloth. Instead, let it be an energetic and passionate life, like that of a deer or a bird. Let your grace shine out from all the windows of your conversation so that those who live near you may see that the Spirit is abiding in your heart. Do not let your light be a dim, flickering, uncertain flame, but let it burn steadily like the eternal fire on the altar and never become low. Let the savor of your religion, like Mary’s precious ointment, fill all the houses where you live. Be a letter of Christ so clearly written and penned in such large, bold characters that those who run may read it (2 Corinthians 3:2).

Sermons on Gospel Themes

Author(s): Charles G. Finney
Publisher: Aneko Press

All Christians and sinners should understand that the whole plan is complete. They should understand that the whole of Christ – His character, His work, His atoning death, and His ever-living intercession – belongs to each and every person and simply needs to be accepted. There is a full ocean of it. There it is. You can just as well take it as not. You are invited and urged to drink, and to drink abundantly! This ocean supplies all your need. As the Scriptures say, He is of God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). What do you need? Wisdom? Here it is. Righteousness? Here it is. Sanctification? Here you have it. It is all in Christ. Can you possibly think of anything needful for your salvation, moral purity, or your usefulness that is not here in Christ? Nothing. All is provided here.

Heaven: The Place We Long For

Author(s): Dwight Lyman Moody
Publisher: Aneko Press
Price: FREE

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one that is coming. – Hebrews 13:14

Is heaven a reality to you, or does it still appear far off and uncertain?

The goal of this book is to whet your appetite for heaven. A careful look at Scripture reveals that heaven is what every born-again believer is longing for. Our time on earth is only in a temporary dwelling place, and heaven is the true home of all God’s children. A study of heaven can change how you approach each day, and even how you view others around you. As real as this life is, we are assured that heaven is just as real. While we must not neglect our present God-given duties, we must at the same time be preparing for our future home and should even be looking forward with great anticipation to our eternal home.

About the Author
Dwight L. Moody, determined to make a fortune, arrived in Chicago and started selling shoes. But Christ found him, and his energies were redirected into full-time ministry. And what a ministry it was. Today, Moody’s name still graces a church, a mission, a college, and more. Moody loved God and men, and the power of a love like that impacts generations.

Investigating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Author(s): Andrew Loke
Publisher: Routledge
Price: FREE

This book provides an original and comprehensive assessment of the hypotheses concerning the origin of resurrection Christology. It fills a gap in the literature by addressing these issues using a transdisciplinary approach involving historical-critical study of the New Testament, theology, analytic philosophy, psychology and comparative religion.

Using a novel analytic framework, this book demonstrates that a logically exhaustive list of hypotheses concerning the claims of Jesus’ post-mortem appearances and the outcome of Jesus’ body can be formulated. It addresses these hypotheses in detail, including sophisticated combinations of hallucination hypothesis with cognitive dissonance; memory distortion; and confirmation bias. Addressing writings from both within and outside of Christianity, it also demonstrates how a comparative religion approach might further illuminate the origins of Christianity.

This is a thorough study of arguably the key event in the formation of the Christian faith. As such, it will be of keen interest to theologians, New Testament scholars, philosophers, and scholars of religious studies.

Spiritual Warfare without the Spiritual Weirdness

Author(s): Denver Cheddie
Price: FREE

There are a lot of crazy weird teachings about spiritual warfare out there that are based on a total misunderstanding of what the Bible teaches. You have probably read a lot of those books. They give the impression that spiritual warfare is an esoteric experience reserved for the super spiritual elite, and as a result, many Christians are reluctant to delve into spiritual warfare.

Spiritual Warfare without the Spiritual Weirdness is a free spiritual warfare book for anyone serious about understanding what the BIBLE teaches about spiritual warfare. If you feel something is just not right about what popular authors are teaching about spiritual warfare, then this book is for you.

We explain all the scriptures on spiritual warfare, the armor of God, strongholds and the wiles of the devil; and we show you that spiritual warfare is something that every Christian could and should be involved in. Most of all, it is not weird and super-spiritual.
