Excerpt from The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons Two pictures result from these two verses, each striking in itself, and gaining additional emphasis by the contrast. It was near the close of a long, hot days march that a tired band of pedestrians turned into the fertile valley. There, whilst the disciples went into the little hill-village to purchase, if they could, some food from the despised inhabitants, Jesus, apparently too exhausted to accompany them, "sat thus on the well." That little word thus seems to have a force difficult to reproduce in English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ The materials of this work should be found in all that has been written on the subject of the New Testament history, since the scriptural canon was completed. But who is sufficient for these things 2 A long life might find abundant employment in searching a thousand libraries, and in com iling from a hundred thousand volumes, the facts and illustrations of this immense an noble subject; and then the best energies of another long life would be needed to bring the mighty masses into form, and give them in a narrative for the mind of the unlearned. What then, is here attempted, as a substitute for this immensi 2 To give a clear, distinct, narrative of each apostle's life, with such illustrations of the character of the era and the scene in which the inci dents occurred, and such explanations of the termsin which they are recorded, as may, consistently with the limits of this book, be drawn from those works of the learned of ancient and modern times, which are within the writer's reach. Various and nume rous are the books that swell the list Of faithful and honest references many and weighty the volumes that have been turned over, in the long course of research; ancient and venerable the dust, which has been shaken into suffocating clouds about the searcher's head, and has obscured his vision, as he dragged many a forgotten folio from the slum ber of ages, to furnish the modern compiler with the rich productions Of antique lore. Histories, travels, geographies, maps, commentaries, criticisms, introductions, and lexicons, have been daily and nightly turned in the hand; and of this labor some fruit is offered on every page. But the unstained source of sacred history! The pure well - spring, at which the wearied searcher always refreshed himself, after unrequited toils through dry masses of erudition, was the simple story of the Apostles and Evangelists, told by themselves. In this same simple story, indeed, were found the points on which the longest labor was required; yet these, at best only illustrated, not improved, by all the labors of the learned of various ages, were the materials of the work. These were the preparations of months and years; the execution must decide on their real value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... because holidays were never needed as they are needed nowadays. We smile as we read in the prophet that many ran to and fro in his day till knowledge was increased. And we smile even more at the complaint of the preacher that of making of many books there was no end in his day, and that much study was a weariness to his flesh. What would Solomon and Daniel have said had they seen our trams, and our trains, and our steamships? What would they have said if they had seen our publishers' weekly lists, and our booksellers' loaded counters? Working men never worked so hard as they do in our day, especially those men who work with their heads and their hearts. And then there is a haste and a hurry in our day of which our hardest worked forefathers knew nothing: till our holiday time is as indispensable at this season of the year as is the repose of the night after the hard-worked day, and as is the rest of the Lord's day after the hard-worked week. Hackneyed in business, wearied at the oar, Which thousands, once fast chained to, quit no more, The statesman, lawyer, merchant, man of trade, Pant for the refuge of some rural shade-- For regions where, in spite of sin and woe, Traces of Eden are still seen below; Where mountain, river, forest, field and grove, Remind him of his Maker's power and love. To them the deep recess of dusky groves, Or forest where the deer securely roves, The fall of water, and the song of birds, And hills that echo to the distant herds, Are luxuries excelling all the glare The world can boast, and her chief favourites share. So sang William Cowper, a most delightful poet for a thoughtful holiday. And John Milton supports him with his stately prose: --' In those vernal seasons of the year, when the air is calm and..
Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.
