The Overcoming Life and Other Sermons (Modern English)
D L Moody
Synopsis "The Overcoming Life and Other Sermons (Modern English)"
What if the Christian life wasn't meant to be survived, but won? D. L. Moody, one of the most celebrated evangelists in history, preached to millions on two continents. Now his most powerful sermons on spiritual victory are available in clear, modern English. When Moody first became a Christian, he assumed the battle was over. Months later, he discovered it had just begun. The Overcoming Life is his honest, practical, often funny guide to winning the fight against the enemies inside us (anger, pride, greed, jealousy and addiction) and the pressures around us: peer pressure, worldliness, business, ridicule and persecution. It ends with the eight promises Christ makes to everyone who overcomes. This edition also includes six more of Moody's best-loved sermons: What True Repentance Produces: conviction, contrition, confession, conversion and public witness True Wisdom: why a small light can change a dark world "Come Into the Ark" the story of Noah and a challenge to every parent Humility: the hardest lesson Jesus taught Rest: the invitation that has comforted the weary for generations The Seven "I Wills" of Christ: the promises Jesus will keep This is a faithful retelling with every idea, story and illustration intact. The archaic wording is gone. You'll find short paragraphs, natural sentences and Scripture in clear modern English. Perfect for: Personal devotion and daily reading Small group and Bible study discussion Pastors and teachers looking for timeless illustrations Anyone who wants the depth of the classics without the dated style "This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith."
