First published in 1903, James Allen's As a Man Thinketh has become an inspirational classic. A beautifully thought-provoking work, Allen's contribution to the New Thought Movement continues to encourage each of us to reflect on our thoughts and to work to regain possession of them. Using Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he", as inspiration, Allen describes how man is the creator and shaper of his destiny by the very thoughts which he thinks. "A man is literally what he thinks."

A.W. Tozer's Christian classic urges followers of Jesus to realize both the possibility and necessity of living out a deeper relationship with God. With sincerity and humility, Tozer's words inspire a thirst for God as he encourages all Christians to experience forming an intimate relationship with God. Using examples from scripture and from the lives of saints who lived with this hunger for God, this classic work deals with the deeper aspects of Christianity as well as the riches and joys of God's grace and love for us.

A true story of Christian devotion and love, this classic shares how to find and enjoy the deep presence of God continually and profoundly. Discovering the pure joy of a life spent in communion with God, Brother Lawrence's realization inspired his Carmelite Brothers to seek instruction from him, despite his lowly status in the monastery power structure. Students of thought and followers of Jesus will find words of comfort as they learn to be content with nothing less than knowing God and feeling His loving presence in every moment.

Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother?

The Bible says the old life is gone and the new life has come (see 2 Cor. 5:17). But we still sin; still get angry, arrogant, and greedy. Sin destroys everything in its path, yet it’s also kind of fun and quite compelling. It often has us holding on to parts of the old life instead of embracing the new life we’ve been promised. Here, Pastor Bob Merritt exposes the inner battle we all fight with sin. He exposes the cycle of failure and loss and shows listeners that no matter how many setbacks they’ve experienced, there is a way to enjoy a new and better life in Christ.

We hear and say short Christian clichés all the time, such as “Jesus was a social justice warrior”, “Just have faith”, and “It’s not my place to judge.” These trite statements often go unquestioned.

In Unquestioned Answers, Dr. Jeff Myers rethinks 10 popular Christian clichés.

In 1803, Meriwether Lewis was offered the chance of a lifetime.

Lewis jumped at the opportunity and called on his friend William Clark to share in the command of the exploration. The two men organized a small unit of volunteers they called the Corps of Discovery. They had little idea of what dangers lay ahead in the mysterious lands.

Henry Ford loved mechanical things: springs and gears, cogs and wheels, and things that clicked and ticked and turned. One hot summer day in 1876, Henry and his father were riding to Detroit in their farm wagon. Suddenly there was a huffing-puffing monster heading straight toward them. It was a road-roller, and it was lumbering down the road all by itself. That was the day Henry started thinking about horseless riding machines—and he never stopped.
