Pure Gold Classics

Have you read any of our books in the Pure Gold Classics series? We now have more than thirty different titles in this, our signature line. These books contain a biography of the author, interesting illustrations, an audio-excerpts CD, study guides, a timeline, and updated versions of the authors' writings.

This remarkable collection includes the works of Andrew Murray, R.A. Torrey, Madame Jeane Guyon, Brother Lawrence, Saint Augusinte, Saint John of the Cross, Hannah Whitall Smith, C.H. Spurgeon, D.L. Moody, Saint Teresa of Avila, Thomas a Kempis, A.W. Pink, William Law, William Wilberforce, A.W. Tozer, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, Charles M. Sheldon, Fenelon, E.M. Bounds, A.B. Simpson, Henry Drummond, John Calvin, and John Wesley. Isn't it great to know that these great men and women of God are still speaking to believers through these outstanding classics?

I'm happy to report that we will be releasing two new classics this summer: The Holy Spirit: Who He Is and What He Does by R.A. Torrey and Walking With God--the Andrew Murray Trilogy on Sanctification, which is actually three books in one: Waiting on God, Working for God, and Be Perfect. These two books are shining containers of the riches of Jesus Christ, and I know you will be blessed by reading them.

Let me conclude this entry by quoting from The Sovereignty of God by A.W. Pink: "How different is the God of the Bible from the God of modern Christianity! The image of God that is embraced most widely today, even among those who say they believe the Bible, is a miserable misrepresentation and an offensive mockery of the truth. The God of our times is a helpless, weak, and delicate being who commands the respect of no really intelligent person. The God of the modern Christian is the creation of sappy sentimentality and an object of pity rather than of awe-inspiring reverence."

Though Pink wrote these words early in the twentieth century, I fear they still hold true in many circles today. May we return to a view of God that will enable us to see Him as He really is--the sovereign Ruler of the universe, our heavenly Father, and the very essence of our being. May we return to the sense of reverence and adoration that our Creator deserves. He is so worthy of all our honor, devotion, respect, and worship, and He seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. (See John 4:23.)

Let us endeavor to glorify God in all that we say, think, and do.
