Paperback. Etat : Good. An important theme in A.W. Tozer's ministry was the subject of God's will for each of our lives. He wrestled with it from the time he was a new Christian until the day he passed into eternity. Throughout 'A Cloud by Day, A Fire by Night' - he discusses the battles Christians face almost every day. He frames these battles as taking place in Canaan, as he calls it - the land of promise where we are living today. Tozer could look at something so negative and find positives from a spiritual point of view. So much in life can bring us to that point of discouragement where all we want to do is quit, especially when God's will for us is unclear. This book is about more than finding God's will for your next step or decision in life-it is about following His will to the end. With only our human resources, following God would be impossible. But when we cross that line into the deeper life, we enter into the grace of God that enables us to do His will.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A bold translation of Nobel Prize-winner Herman Hesse's most inspirational and beloved work, which was nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read A Penguin Classic Hesse's famous and influential novel, Siddartha, is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced.

Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, through the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. This new translation by award-winning translator Joachim Neugroschel includes an introduction by Hesse biographer Ralph Freedman. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Hardback. Etat : Good. The Science of Being Well is the second volume of a series known as The Science of trilogy or Financial Success Through Creative Thought by Wallace Delois Wattles. While the first volume, The Science of Getting Rich, is intended for those who are looking to acquire wealth and money, this one is not a philosophical treatise, but a practical guide and handbook for those whose main goal is health. Wallace Delois Wattles (1860-1911) was an American author. As a New Thought writer, he remains personally somewhat obscure, but his writing has been widely quoted and remains in print in the New Thought and self-help movements. Wattles often travelled to Chicago, where he gave Sunday night lectures among several leading New Thought authors. He studied the writings of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Ralph Waldo Emerson and recommended the study of their books to his readers who wished to understand what he characterized as the monistic theory of the cosmos. Wattles' best known work is a 1910 book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explained how to become wealthy.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Many people believe in God and believe that God is everywhere, but they have yet to experience his presence. 'Delighting in God' is the message Tozer intended to be the follow-up to 'The Knowledge of the Holy'. He demonstrates how the attributes of God-those things God has revealed about himself-are a way to understand the Christian life of worship and service. We are here to serve and adore him, but we can only fulfill that role by acknowledging who he is, which is the essence of the Christian life and the source of all our fulfillment, joy, and comfort. To understand who we are, we need to understand who God is. His very character and nature are reflected through us. Unless we fully grasp who we are, we'll never become all God wants us to be.…
