"In all our faith and Bible study, it is very important to understand the mind of Christ, to think like He thought, and to feel like He felt. There isn’t a question we face or an issue that comes up where Christ’s words don’t offer guidance and help. Today, we want to understand Christ’s thoughts about money, to know exactly how He viewed it, and then to think and act as He would. This isn’t easy. We are so influenced by the world around us that we may fear becoming impractical if we live exactl...

This book, "Neesima: A Journey from Samurai to Servant of God" (1908) serves as a concise overview, primarily adapted from The Life and Letters of Joseph Hardy Neesima by Arthur Sherburn Hardy. We have revised the third edition of that work, published in 1908 by the M. E. Publishing House, Mount Road, Madras, India. This context partly explains why the final chapter focuses on Neesima’s influence in India. Together with Paul Kanamori's book, which we have also republished, this volume provides a...

Paul Kanamori's Life Story: How the Higher Criticism Wrecked a Japanese Christian; and How He Came Back. As a young believer, Kanamori experienced a powerful revival and went on to serve as a missionary to his own people. However, over time, he fell away and became a prodigal. In the book, Kanamori shares how he was led astray by the higher criticism movement—a school of thought that caused him not only to question God’s Word but to doubt its authority, deny its truth. As I read about his spirit...

The Ministry of Healing: Miracles of Healing Through the Ages by A.J. Gordon, originally published in 1882, revised in 2024. Have there been miracles since the time of the apostles? The common answer has been a firm “no.” A recent survey in a religious journal asked ministers, teachers, and theology professors for their views. Most responded, and nearly all agreed that the age of miracles ended with the apostles. Some of these responses suggested the question had not been deeply considered. A fe...

In a world that teaches us to cling to our rights—our right to comfort, control, and personal security—what happens when we let them go? Can we embrace a life that forfeits the comforts of a ‘normal’ standard of living for the mission of the Gospel?

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...

So sacred is the memory of that solemn past that I almost shrink from bringing it to public notice.
