Quiet Talks about Jesus-S. D. Gordon

Waiting on God by Andrew Murray.Andrew Murray wrote in the introduction to this daily devotional book of one month’s readings, of the need that many Christians feel of being helped to a deeper and clearer insight into all that Christ could be to them. In this volume he shows both the need and the benefit of waiting upon God, and of giving God time and place to show us what He can do and what He will do. The author encourages us to enlarge our hearts and not limit God; to understand that God can do new things, unheard of things, and hidden things. “When Thou camest down, Thou didst terrible things we looked not for; the mountains flowed down at Thy presence.”Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Think well on't, or, Reflections on the great truths of the Christian religion for every day of the month by Richard Challoner.Richard Challoner (1691–1781) was an English Roman Catholic bishop. He is perhaps most famous for his revision of the Douay–Rheims translation of the Bible. In this work he gives reflections on the general truths about the Christian religion for each day of the month. He also provides an introduction about how to meditate on them throughout the day.Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Easter Mystery Of Jesus Christ; A Miscellany Of Readings, Poems, And Hymn Texts.The story of Jesus Christ is a treasure of Western civilization. Understanding that life and story is necessary for a proper understanding of that cultural history. It begins with readings from the biblical New Testament Gospels about the last hours of Jesus’ life, using The American Standard Version (1901), which is based on The Authorized Version commonly called The King James Version, supplemented and advantaged by four hundred more years of biblical scholarship. (The Gospels were written decades apart and for different communities of followers.) The Easter story is not solely about the day of resurrection but includes the betrayals (not only by government and religion but also by friends and followers) that led up to the crucifixion. Then there are stories about the reactions of his followers, men and women who witnessed Him alive after his undeniable death upon a government cross.Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

How to Succeed in the Christian Life by Reuben Archer Torrey."I have for years felt the need of a book to put in the hands of those beginning the Christian life that would tell them just how to make a complete success of this new life upon which they were entering. I could find no such book, so I have been driven to write one. This book aims to tell the young convert just what he most needs to know. I hope that pastors and evangelists and other Christian workers may find it a good book to put in the hands of young converts. I hope that it may also prove a helpful book to many who have long been Christians but have not made that headway in the Christian life that they long for."Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Devotional Hours with the Bible, Vol 2 by James Russell Miller.One way of studying the Bible is to get from it practical lessons from our daily life. This is the purpose that is in mind in this book. It does not attempt to cover every chapter; to do this would make it altogether too long--it deals only with what appear to be leading and representative portions of the Bible. It is a book for use in the inner chamber where life receives its impulses for conduct, for duty, for service, and for devotion. The Bible is a very ancient book, but it is also a book for to-day. It brings us face to face with God, and its teachings are meant to guide us in all our ways. (adapted from the Preface) This is volume 2 of 8 and is subtitled "From the Crossing of the Red Sea to the Close of David's Life".Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis.The Imitation of Christ is widely considered one of the greatest manuals of devotion in Christianity. The life of Christ is presented as the highest study possible to a mortal, as Jesus’ teachings far excel all the teachings of the saints. The book gives counsel to read the scriptures, statements about the uses of adversity, advice for submission to authority, warnings against temptation and how to resist it, reflections about death and the judgment, meditations upon the oblation of Christ, and admonitions to flee the vanities of the world.Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Quiet Talks about Jesus by S. D. Gordon.So far as I can find out, I have no theory about Jesus to make these talks fit into. I have tried to find out for myself what the old Book of God tells about Him. And here I am trying to tell to others, as simply as I can, what I found. It was by the tedious, twisting path of doubt that I climbed the hill of truth up to some of its summits of certainty. I am free to confess that I am ignorant of the subject treated here save for the statements of that Book, and for the assent within my own spirit to these statements, which has greatly deepened the impression they made, and make. There is no question raised here about that Book itself, but simply a taking and grouping up together of what it says.Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.

Joseph and his Brethren by W. K. Tweedie."The story of Joseph is at once so simple that childhood is arrested and rivetted by it, and so profound that sages may deepen their wisdom by meditating on the truths which it embodies. While man displays his wickedness by committing sin, the Holy One displays his goodness by restraining it; and though his ways are confessedly “a great deep,” we get glimpses through the gloom,—we catch echoes amid the silence, which enable us to know, that when the tangled web of providence shall have been unrolled in light, it will be seen that he “has done all things well.” As the bones of Joseph were carried before the Hebrews during all their wanderings, from Egypt to Canaan, till they found a resting-place in that land of promise, the truth of God here goes before us still, a very pillar of cloud and of fire."Featured on Christ's Object Lessons.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
