A Light To My Path

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book consists of over one hundred Scripture messages preached in local churches over a period of about thirty years. Each message has a theme title and covers two pages for easy daily reading. It is a candid testimony to the power and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to change and enrich lives. It points to a personal relationship with Christ. Its title is intended to appeal to a wide audience of those looking for more meaning in life and points to a positive and wonderful future for all who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. "My opinion is that 'A Light to My Path' is excellent! It's nice and easy to read, very interesting, and I know it will be a great blessing to many people. I would recommend it to others and would hand it on to someone else. I would buy it in a bookshop. This format of book has been successful in the past." Douglas Tate - Co. Durham "I greatly value your book of messages, quite inspiring, and hardly a day goes by before it comes off the book-shelf." Revd. Edward Burfitt - Newcastle upon Tyne "I would recommend this book, especially to more mature, thoughtful Christians. It has thoughtful, engaging, interesting insights, with new perspectives on familiar passages. Insightful, practical, well written, broad overview." Peter Howitt - Surrey "I recommend this book for many reasons. It is a well organized collection of talks or messages on extracts based on the Bible. Informed and illustrated with stories and examples, as well as references to other parts of the Bible. This book wants to make you read more of the chapter from which the texts are taken. Above all it is a candid testimony to the power and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to change and enrich lives. It has integrity. A good book, I think, to use for a Bible study, as it aims to point to a personal relationship with Christ. More than ever it is relevant today in our beautiful but disturbed and chaotic modern world." Rosemay Dunlop -Tyne & Wear "The messages are based on the authority and truth from the Scriptures. The topics are almost all introduced with a meaningful illustration from everyday life or from history that brings added insight into the particular subject. They are certainly not boring! Anyone who speaks in Christian meetings would find the succinct thoughts valuable. I would recommend it for personal devotional use as daily reading and a useful tool as a resource for potential speakers." Margaret Tyler - West Sussex
