Parables of the Messiah

Right now I am reading Parables of the Messiah by John Carter in the morning. His purpose for expounding on the eighty sayings and stories contained in the gospel was to help us more fully understand Christ and his message concerning the Kingdom of God. He includes a helpful Table of Contents with the references where a saying or parable is found. He does an adequate job of simply explaining each "parable" precisely. This book can be used for adult personal study, children's Sunday School, or a parent-child study.

Be Ye Transformed

Be Ye Transformed, Volumes I, II, & III, contain many of Brother G.V. Growcott's exhortations and articles. There are over ninety writings all together in these three books. Brother G.V. does not "beat around the bush" but firmly expresses Biblical truths. When interested in a subject, I check to see if he has written anything about it. Most likely, he has and I enjoy reading his expositions to further my understanding.

Conviction and Conduct

A few years ago I tried to read this book but without success. Recently, I have read parts of it. The pages out of Conviction and Conduct:The Faith that Works by Islip Collyer are intensely humbling and motivating. He reviews the philosophy of faith and living the life of faith. Reading this book is time well spent.

Help & Comfort from the Scriptures

The pamphlet, Help and Comfort from the Scriptures, was an adult class given at the Canadian Bible School in 1954 by Brother John Peake. He aptly describes help and comfort then goes on to explain how we may qualify for them. The last two lessons include obtaining help and comfort and the power of prayer. This booklet is honest and forthright. Whether in tribulation or not, it is an inspiration of God's love and concern for those striving to become better servants of Him.

He Healeth all Thy Diseases

Brother Dennis Gillett wrote the book, He Healeth all Thy Diseases: Exhortations on spiritual health for the disciple, based upon real illnesses of the body. He compares physical and mental problems to spiritual ailments, providing the diagnosis and proper treatment of such. "It is sent forth in the hope that it may be a provocation to any who read it [the book] to seek spiritual health with the same fervour and the same anxiety that energises the search for bodily soundness." ~p.vi

"Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." ~Psalm 103:1-5

Solemn Moments of Remembrance

Early every Sunday morning for the past month I have been reading one exhortation out of the book, Solemn Moments of Remembrance by one of my favorite authors, Brother Dennis Gillett. His words prepare my mind for remembering Christ's life, death, and resurrection. This book is suggested to "be used for a personal memorial service based on the Daily Readings."

"For Brother Dennis, those memorial moments around the emblems of our Lord's sacrifice, those moments when spiritual awareness was at its height, were indeed solemn moments of sober reflection. Solemnity is the prevailing characteristic of these thoughts." ~Foreword, p.v
