Personal Declension And Revival Of Religion In The Soul Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul That the subject on which this humble volume treats is vastly solemn, and deeply searching, every true believer in Jesus must acknowledge. The existing necessity for such a work has long impressed itself upon the Author's mind. While other and abler writers are employing their pens, either in defending the out-posts of Christianity, or in arousing a slumbering church to an increased intensity of personal and combined action in the great work of Christian benevolence, he has felt that if he might but be instrumental, in ever so humble a way, of occasionally withdrawing the eye of the believer from the dazzling and almost bewildering movements around him, and fixing it upon the state of ms own personal religion, he would be rendering the Christian church a service, not the less needed and important in her present elevated and excited position.

Excerpt from Personal Soul-Winning The writer, who is the instructor on the subject of which this book treats, in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, has prepared this work not more for the general public than for the young men and women who regularly take the work in his classes. Many of the students have expressed a wish to have these lectures in a printed and a completed form, so that when out in the field they may have Opportunity to refer to and make use'of them in the work of soul-winning, to which they have dedicated their lives. Being a graduate of the Institute, the writer had the privilege of listening to similar instruction from Rev. B. A. Torrey, D.D., whom he highly honored as a teacher, and who has read the proof sheets of this book with commendation. The nature of the theme, to say nothing of the impression made by such a teacher on his pupil, may show in this book a cer tain general similarity in manner of presentation. The great indebtedness of the writer to Dr. Torrey is hereby gratefully expressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Christianity as possession is not simply an experience of salvation in the past, nor simply a status once for all bestowed. It is a high and holy vocation to be fulfilled in all who name Christ’s name. We dare not rest until we attain to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. This book addresses our consciences about the character of our Christian way. Is there credible godliness? Is there a deepening, growing relationship with our Lord? Is the Love of Jesus Christ constraining our behavior – love so amazing, so divine demanding our souls, our lives, and our all – and are we giving the Lord affectionate obedience in return?
