Spiritual disciplines for the Christian life

Posted on by

We used to sell this book until we could not get it for the incredibly cheap price that we were able to offer it for. This is still a good price.

After the Bible our daughter, Genevieve, said that this book impacted her life more than any other. We all try to read it through every year. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

Spiritual disciplines for the Christian life

Donald S. Whitney

Description… It’s not uncommon for an accomplished musician to be able to sit down in front of a new piece of music and play it through without a hitch. To make it seem easy, as if it required no effort. Yet the “freedom” to play with such skill comes only after years of disciplined practice.

In the same way, the freedom to grow in godliness—to naturally express Christ’s character through your own personality—is in large part dependent on a deliberate cultivation of the spiritual disciplines.

Far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty. So if you’d like to embark on a lifelong quest for godliness, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will help you on your way. Based on the rich heritage left us by the early church fathers, the Puritan writers, and Jesus Christ Himself, Whitney takes you through a carefully selected array of disciplines that includes Scripture reading, prayer, worship, Scripture meditation, evangelism, serving, stewardship, Scripture application, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and learning.

By illustrating why the disciplines are important, showing how each one will help you grow in godliness, and offering practical suggestions for cultivating them on a long-term basis, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will provide you with a refreshing opportunity to embrace life’s greatest pursuit—the pursuit of holiness—through a lifelong delight in the disciplines. $27.00

Timechart history of the World

Posted on by

A3 folding book (Unfolds to over 30 feet)

Based on the famous and now very rare Victorian wallchart with much material specially reproduced from the British Library, London.
6,000 years of world history at a glance ??thousands of dates, facts and quotes in chronological sequence. 30 feet of history in a large format fold-out hardcover book (29cmx42cm). A complete overview of every civilization’s history. Starts with Adam and Eve and follows the Biblical chronologies. Nations start from the Tower of Babel and are charted by colourful strands. Watch as strands envelope other stands when nations conquer other nations or watch as strands split into two or more as nations collapse. See visually how powerful and dominant nations such as the Holy Roman Empire were ??just about all other nations were absorbed into the Roman strand! It records the leader of each nation and is right up to date with Helen Clarke as New Zealand’s Prime Minister and George Bush as the President of the USA. Based on Biship Ussher’s chronology.

??We use the TimeChart all the time in our homeschooling. If we are reading the Bible or studying history or talking about an event which took place we open up our TimeChart. It helps us see what we are reading or talking about in context with the flow of history and other historical happenings. We LOVE it! ?? ~Happy Home Educated Child
