Inspiration from the book of Hebrews on how to live by faith in Jesus. As Christians, we experience great joy in knowing God through Jesus and great hope in the promise of an eternity spent with God. Yet we still get weary in this life and can feel discouraged. Whether it's personal disappointment, opposition or just the costly grind of church life that gets us down, we all need help to keep going. This wonderfully encouraging book by Bible expositor Richard Coekin will spur you on to live by faith in Jesus as you examine the witnesses of Hebrews 11. The refreshing honesty of their stories will help you manage your expectations in a world of lies and spin. They will remind you of the glory and blessing that await you at the finishing line. And they will encourage you to see that Jesus is the real Hero of the faith and that his Spirit will enable you to endure through exhaustion, opposition and discouragement. Ideal for private devotional reading for those in need of refreshment, a timely gift for a discouraged Christian friend, and useful background reading to a small-group study of Hebrews 11.

They Knew How to Pray invites you to study with biblical masters of prayer. They will counsel you with their cries to God, ignite your faith with their spiritual passion, and mold your heart to God's.

There is pain at the severing of these denominational relations, many of which have been sweet, pleasant, and profitable; yet I have the deep assurance of continued union and fellowship of the Holy Ghost and all members of the Church that is greater than any denomination, and re-_ joice in these ties which bind us together just as closely as if the old continued to exist. "When I united with the Conference, many thought it was a mistake. When I felt called of God to enter the evangelistic field, many others were like-minded. When God led me to Cincinnati, still others were fearful. When I went to the Maryland meetings, many objected; but in all these instances, when the facts were all known, God vindicated the course which He led me to take, and I have the settled assurance that He will in this instance. "I appreciate the spirit manifested by Brother Maveety who, in his reply to my note of withdrawal, among other things, writes: 'While I most sincerely regret to part with you, and believe that I express the feelings of a large majority of both ministers and laymen in our Conference, when I also express their regrets at the separation, yet I recognize the consistency of your action, and hope that your work may glorify God and help in the establishment of His kingdom in the earth.' "Though no longer bound together b_y denominational ties, I still covet the prayers of God's people, with whom I was associated for so many years. May God bless you all and lead into the fullness of the blessings of the gospel of peace!

The Bible is the inspired word of God, and every believer should study it in order to know the rich and vast content of God's divine provisions. When God speaks, He does so through His established eord. Therefore, we must study the Bible in a proper way in order to let the word of God dwell richly in our hearts. In order to study the Bible, we first must be proper persons, having passed through the necessary spiritual training under the Lord's leading and guiding. We must also use the right methods. Many good books have been printed on how to study the Bible, but most pay attention only to methods of studying the Bible; They do not pay enough attention to the person who studies the Bible. Even with the right methods, we can receive very little in our study of the Bible if Our person is not proper before the Lord.
