Revival Under Zinzendorf | Moravian History Book 2 (Audiobook)
History of the Moravian Church | Book 2: The Revival Under Zinzendorf - The effect on Zinzendorf was electric. His mind was full of missionary visions. The story of Antony fired his zeal. The door to the heathen world stood open. The golden day had dawned.
As Zinzendorf drew near to his end, he saw that his efforts in the cause of Christ had not ended as he had hoped. His design was the union of Christendom, his achievement the revival of the Church of the Brethren. He had given the “Hidden Seed” a home at Herrnhut. He had discovered the ancient laws of the Bohemian Brethren…

Robert Murray M‘Cheyne: The Holy Minister as God’s Weapon (Audiobook)
The telling of the deeply spiritual life story of the young minister of the Gospel of St. Peters Church, Dundee, Scotland, Robert Murray M'Cheyne, has been used of God to bring challenge, blessing and inspiration to hundreds of thousands down through the years since his death in 1843 at the early age of 30. Few men have lived a life filled with such power and blessing in such a short span of years.
Dr. Andrew A. Bonar's biography of this stalwart young man of God has been the standard recognized work on the life of this prince among men. This biography is from the larger Memoirs and Remains of the Rev. Robert Murray M'Cheyne with just the memoirs—or biography—reprinted. The "remains," letters and sermons of M'Cheyne have been recently republished in the Wyckliffe Series issued by the Moody Press, but we are presenting in the pages of this volume Bonar's soul-stirring biography of this young man who was so completely and wholly surrendered to the will of God. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith, in his "Profitable Bible Study," says, "Every minister, of whatever denomination, should have this marvelous work."

A Good Soldier of Jesus Christ - Charles Spurgeon (2 Timothy 2:2-3)
“A good soldier of Jesus Christ.” – 2 Timothy 2:2,3.
Many people, many opinions. When it comes to defining what a Christian is, there have been numerous and diverse viewpoints. Some believe that a Christian is someone with very refined tastes. This person cannot worship unless they are in a place with perfectly Gothic architecture, or else their sensitive soul will be offended. They find it difficult to pray properly unless their devotions are accompanied by the finest music. Even then, they may not succeed unless they are assisted by gentlemen whose lineage can be traced as clearly as racehorses and whose clothing is tailored according to the latest ecclesiastical fashion guidelines for each season of the year.
Delivered on a Sunday morning, June 26, 1870,
By C. H. Spurgeon,
At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington.
Please note: We've slightly revised sections of this sermon.

Taken or Left: Ready For Christ to Come? - Mrs. O.F. Walton
"Taken or Left" is a touching story that follows the life of Peter, a young boy in a large family. His mother, overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising ten boys and a daughter named Salome, struggles to find joy amidst her duties. The narrative begins with Peter's devotion to his little sister, Salome, who becomes his closest friend. As they grow, Peter faces a moral dilemma when he loses a shilling and deceitfully replaces it with one found in his father's till. The guilt of his dishonesty weighs heavily on him, especially after a sermon about the second coming of Jesus makes him realize he will not be taken but will be left!

The Importance of Journaling - John Flavel (Excerpt)
This excerpt was taken from the full audiobook: The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel
Do not rely on your fallible memory to retain the multitude of remarkable instances of Providence you have encountered and will encounter on your journey to heaven. While significant events may initially leave a strong impression, new experiences can easily overshadow them. - John Flavel

The Bank of Faith: A Life of Trust - William Huntington (Audiobook)
"The Bank of Faith" was originally published in 1889.
The apostle Paul said, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). This verse shows that the Lord has abundant resources to meet our every need. But how do we access this divine provision? By faith. It is a bank of faith, and as believers, we live a life of trust.
As you listen to this book, it might sometimes sound like a series of checkbook entries, listing one provision after another to meet various needs. If you find yourself thinking, “this seems repetitive,” take a moment to marvel at the repetition. This repetition is a glorious reminder of how God consistently provides for believers. Just like the Israelites in the wilderness who found manna each morning, God faithfully provides for us day after day, year after year. This consistent provision is a testament to God’s unwavering character. Even if we aren’t as urgently praying, “give us this day our daily bread,” because of the wealth we have in America, remember that just as God provided for the Israelites, He will also provide for you. So, rejoice in the repetition—it highlights God’s unfailing care and generosity.

The Story of Mary Jones and Her Bible
This version is slightly revised from the 1919 publication by the British and Foreign Bible Society.This narrative is based on the most reliable sources available, both written and oral. Since its first publication in 1882.Our prayer is that as you listen, you will realize that even now, after over 100 years, there is still a great need for the Word of God to be spread and made accessible. You and I might take for granted that we have a Bible in our own language, but there are still countless souls who have no access to the bread of life. What will we do?
