Beschreibung

Richard Baxter's "A Christian Directory" is a monumental work of 17th-century Puritan literature that seeks to provide a comprehensive guide for Christian living. Spanning four volumes, it encompasses a breadth of topics including moral theology, practical righteousness, and the roles of grace and faith in daily life. Baxter's literary style is characterized by clarity, didactic fervor, and an earnestness that resonates deeply with readers seeking spiritual guidance. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in English religious history, this work reflects the tensions of its time, aiming to address both the spiritual and pragmatic needs of believers. Baxter, a prominent Puritan pastor and theologian, was profoundly shaped by the religious conflicts of his era, including the English Civil War and subsequent Restoration. His pastoral experiences and struggles with ecclesiastical authority deeply informed his writings, leading him to address the everyday challenges faced by Christians in a secular world. His profound commitment to the spiritual welfare of his congregation catalyzed the need for such a detailed directory. "A Christian Directory" is essential for anyone seeking a foundational text on Christian ethics and practice. Its practical wisdom and theological depth make it invaluable for both scholars and general readers interested in the evolution of Christian thought and the intricacies of living a life devoted to faith.

    The book, Divine Devotion, is a series of Christion literature. The first series is Holiness in Christ Jesus. It teaches us that all we need to know about holiness and why we should strive to be holy. In addition, as obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

    His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.—2 Peter 1:3  Too many believers treat salvation like fire insurance. They are happy to have their ticket to heaven but fail to fulfill their responsibility to grow spiritually now. Moved by such common negligence, Conrad Mbewe encourages us to pursue a fruitful life by considering how God equips Christians to grow and the value of diligently striving for godliness. Based on 2 Peter 1, this is a pastoral charge for Christians to keep on growing!

    Have you ever watched a movie where part of the setting is aboard a ship, and someone falls overboard? Or do you remember the scene in the film “It’s a wonderful life” when younger brother Harry falls through the ice? Or how about any movie set in the jungle when a member of the party steps in quicksand and begins to sink? Or any scene set in the mountains where somebody has fallen off a cliff and is stranded?
     
    
     
     In each of those situations the person who is in danger can be seen reaching for help. Their arms are extended upward (well if they’re conscious, if not then they just kind of lie there), but anyway they are reaching out for help.
     
    Life can often be like that.  We find ourselves in situations where we need some help and where we need to cry out for someone to help us. Not necessarily save us from danger, but save us from making bad decisions, help us to make the right decision at the right time. This book is designed to help every person who needs help but is unsure of where to get it.  As a Christian, I believe that the one person who can give me the help I need when I am in crisis is Jesus.  
     
    I believe that if I am lost if I am struggling He will help me find a way, I DON’T BELIEVE THAT HE WILL MAGICALLY MAKE LIFE PERFECT; as a retired Pastor (yes, I’m one of those, more about that at the end of the book) who spent his time working with folks who were hurting, I’ve seen dramatic changes that people have made in their lives when they turned to Him.  I’ve experienced it firsthand in my own life so to me it’s not a theory, it is reality.
     
    The solutions I bring up are the ones I have found that have helped me and the people I knew when we were facing these situations.  Being a Christian or living as a Christian is a choice, you are free to reject the teachings of Jesus if you so desire, it’s your life and you alone will have to answer for your choices.

    Now with an extra bonus epilogue!Only the fearless face danger when it strikes. Taking flight from their quiet Pennsylvania town seems like the only way for Tori Boyd to protect her dearest cousin's virtue. And the success of their escape may now depend on the man she's been writing letters to for over a year now in the vast wilds of the Wyoming Territory.  Ezra Reid has finally stepped out from under the shadow of his older brother and sister, now having full responsibility to man the Rocky Ridge Stage Stop through the winter. The success or failure of the stage and telegraph contracts falls squarely on his shoulders, and he's entirely focused on the work—at least until his mysterious correspondence partner shows up on his doorstep.  As Ezra takes on the search for a proper situation for Tori and her cousin, he finds no good options for the ladies. Especially since Tori won't even discuss the one option that might succeed—marriage. When the danger chasing the women takes on a form more dangerous than Ezra anticipated, how far will he have to go to keep Tori and her cousin safe? It'll take a lot more than luck to ensure his heart is the only casualty.  From a USA Today bestselling author comes another thrilling tale of love and courage on the western frontier.

    You've tried it all before. You've done the Bible reading plans until you reached the book of Numbers. You have prayer journals that are half full. You hunger for a deep, meaningful spiritual life, but are so weary of your own personal inconsistencies and life interruptions that it almost feels hypocritical to try again. It often feels like spiritual disciplines are for the privileged few theologians who contemplate God's word while sitting in their studies. But God doesn't ask for your performance in exchange for his love.
    
    It's time to release the feeling of failure from your spiritual life and redeem the promised peace in the midst of a life full of exhaustion and interruptions. It's time to recognize its all about dependence on God. Ragged will give you a paradigm shifting approach to daily devotions. God intends to grow us in his love through all of of life's disruptions. Using scripture, you'll see how your relationship with God—from start to finish—is not dependent on your works but on the works of Christ.
