Lord Of Stone

Lord Leonard Hoffmann remains one of the most important and influential English jurists. Born in South Africa, he came to England as a Rhodes Scholar to study law at the University of Oxford. After graduating from the Bachelor of Civil Law as Vinerian Scholar, he was elected Stowell Civil Law Fellow of University College. There followed an extremely distinguished judicial career, including 14 years as a member of the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords (from 1995 to 2009). In 2009, Lord Hoffmann returned to the Oxford Law Faculty as a Visiting Professor. In this volume, current and past colleagues of Lord Hoffmann from the University of Oxford examine different aspects of his jurisprudence in diverse areas of private and public law. The contributions are testament to the clarity and creativity of his judicial and extra-judicial writings, to his enduring influence and extraordinary intellectual breadth, and to the respect and affection in which he is held.

Our usefulness to the Lord in His work is determined by the constitution of our character. Natural and undesirable elements in our character must be thoroughly dealt with through the abundant mercy and grace of our Lord, and positive traits must be built up, cultivated, and developed. A useful disposition cannot be built up in a day; nevertheless, it must be built up if we are to be effective servants of the Lord. In The Character of the Lord’s Worker Watchman Nee discusses specific character traits that are crucial to the usefulness of a Christian worker. The Lord’s worker must be one who is a good listener, who is a lover of men, who has a mind to suffer, who controls his body, and who is diligent, restrained, and stable. Watchman Nee also discusses other helpful topics including one’s subjectivity and attitude toward money. Previously published under the title The Normal Christian Worker, these freshly translated messages are being released under the title of Watchman Nee’s original Chinese publication.

Appropriately, this absolutely fascinating book carries the title of the most perfect prayer we know - the one the Lord Jesus Christ Himself taught us to pray, to impart to us the true principle of spiritual prayer. I Can Learn to Pray - The Lord's Prayer - The Prayer of the Kingdom, is for anyone who wants to know God better as "Father." This book is unique for its simplicity and direct appeal to the deepest religious yearnings of mankind. It is, within itself, the answer to the heartfelt prayer of anyone who has expressed the dominant concern to "seek" but have not found the One in tune with the diverse challenges and joys of their life. Each chapter has instructional writings and thought-provoking meditations along with inspirational quotations from the Bible, and the writing is expressed in a Father-child interactive conversation. It is the book's intent that countless numbers of people will be guided to lives made happier, richer, and nobler by the wisdom gathered in its pages. Winsome Walters had an unlikely beginning for the Christian life. Her father, hard-working and devout, sternly reminded her, "I want my children to serve God." But although she was devoted to the ideals of her father's moral teachings, Ms. Walters was not prepared to commit to his exacting spiritual ambitions, and so she decided, I'll get away from God.and find my freedom. But when God wants to find you, He knows where you are - even if you're miles away spiritually playing hide and seek. As a result of a remarkable experience in her life, Ms. Walters gave her heart to the Lord. With exceptional tenacity she continues her love for Christ at an unstoppable pace. Her commitment to loving God, combined with the empathy, care, and love she has for those whom Christ died, has inspired her to write this book.
