Originally titled Aids to Devotion, this study on Ephesians focuses on the Holy Spirit and Christian commitment. Writing nearly a century ago, Andrew Murray clearly teaches that commitment to Christ must be based not on determination but on complete dependence on the Holy Spirit. While retaining the author's message and style, this edition has been carefully edited to update the language for the 21st century reader.

Called to Commitment presents forty devotions based on excerpts from the books of the perennially popular Pentecostal teacher Watchman Nee. All Christians want to understand how their relationship with God works and how they fit into the body of Christ. Nee addresses this need. In four inspiring sections, the book moves readers from responding to God's call with commitment, through transformation in Christ and yielding to the Spirit, to finding one's place of service in the church. Nee is a life-changing writer. If you're ready to draw nearer to God, this is the book for you.

The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.
