F. B. Meyer gifts Christian believers with this guidance on attaining spiritual union with God, by being virtuous and achieving victory over sin and wrongdoing. Drawing upon the Bible and the life of Christ as a wellspring of spiritual knowledge, Meyer instructs the reader on becoming a better and more effective Christian, living true to the example set by Jesus. Drawing on the inner strength conferred by the timeless Holy Spirit, practicing virtuous deeds and enshrining a moral code in one's day-to-day behavior are two qualities of the Christians seeking to live the blessed life. Being honest with oneself about wrongheadedness and character flaws, and taking action to correct these, is likewise vital. Meyer frequently quotes passages of scripture, in particular the New Testament, to clarify the guidance given. Writing with the clearheaded and reverential style he was famous for in life, the books he wrote - be they guides for believers or Biblical biographies - remain resonant in modern times. He worked as a Baptist pastor educating thousands of believers, and channeled that experience of working with and spiritually guiding ordinary Christian people into his many written works.

Bring more meaning and wonder into the Christmas season and throughout the whole year! Oftentimes we find ourselves so caught up in the busyness of Christmas that we don’t take time to experience the true sense of wonder and awe around us.

They’re all perspectives that capture the true spirit of why we celebrate Christmas, and how we can live them out through the next twelve months of the year.

In this second volume of translations from the Iberian Fathers appear the works of two seventh-century writers. From the first of these, bishop Braulio of Saragossa, a figure in Visigothic literature second only to St. Isidore of Seville, comes an extensive collection of letters. These are variously addressed to Isidore himself, to other ecclesiastics, to Pope Honorius, and to King Receswinth; friends and relatives were the recipients of seven letters of consolation. Braulio's letters are joined by the Life of a near contemporary, St. Emilian, and by a valuable list of the writings of Isidore, under whom Braulio studied. Fructuousus of Braga is represented by two monastic rules. The first of these was composed for Compludo, a foundation made by Fructousus himself; the other rule is a general or common one. Two other writings dealing with monastic practice accompany these rules, together with a letter to King Receswinth.
