"When I was ready to hear and obey, God spoke to me. It was in a singular way. I was reading in a secular paper an extended account of the Northfield Conference, when my eye lighted on the name of the Rev. F. B. Meyer. One sentence of his I shall never forget: "If you are not willing to forsake all for Christ, then are you simply willing to say, 'Tarn willing to be made willing'?""Few books of recent years are better adapted to instru help Christians than those of this author. He is a man' in the Scriptures.'" -D. L. MOODY.Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in...

The Way Into the Holiest is F.B. Meyer's detailed exposition of the book of Hebrews. It brings to readers rich lessons contained within the epistle. Meyer believed that Christians consistently overemphasized the necessity of religious rituals, ultimately forgetting the surpassing power of salvation and sanctification. Meyer writes of the dignity of Christ and of His glory, reminding Christians of their duty to worship Him. "This Epistle bears no name of author, or designation of church. But it needs neither. In every sentence we can detect the Authorship of the Holy Ghost: and feel that it...

In Abraham or The Obedience of Faith, F.B. Meyer tells the story of Abraham, who lived a life of faithfulness to God. Abraham's life is a witness to the fact that faith can grow in our lives."But wherever faith is, it is the link with Omnipotence; the channel for God's communications; the wire along which the Fire of Heaven may travel. And as it is used according to the promptings of the Divine Spirit, and in obedience to His commands, it will grow. It grew in Abraham. It will grow in us." Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England, a contemporary and friend of...

"Probably all our sermons should have more of this element in them. The Epistles of the New Testament are admirable specimens of the blending of the doctrinal and practical. We are shown how to apply the loftiest principles to the solution Of every-day problems. People are not apt to do this for themselves, and like to be shown how to eat and drink, and do all they have to do, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and to the glory of God. This is what these chapters aim to do. They are a piece of undressed cloth--homespun.

"One of our greatest modern teachers tells us "to hitch our wagon to a...

In Elijah and the Secret of his Power F.B. Meyer turns his writing toward the fascinating life of Elijah, revealing how "the life of this mighty man was produced through the indwelling of that Holy Spirit who is equally within reach of those who will believe and obey." Meyer carefully weaves applications to Christian walk found in Elijah's life into a compelling description of Elijah. Elijah's biography is a riveting narrative of this "wild, untutored child of the desert," who was given by God a high work and calling beset with great difficulties.Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist...

"The Epistle to the Ephesians is pre-eminently the Epistle of the Inner Life. It is not astonishing, therefore, to find that its characteristic key-words are also the key-words of the Inner Life. And in proportion as we weave them into the texture of our life, we shall become possessed of the tenderness and strength, the depth of knowledge and height of communion, which have endeared this Epistle to all ages of the church."It has not been possible, in these narrow limits, to attempt a full Exposition of these marvelous words, aglow with heaven's altar-flame. But sufficient has been said to...

"Throughout Choice Notes on Joshua to 2 Kings, the spiritual significance and personal reference have been kept well in view; and it is hoped that this volume may become the companion not only of the teacher, or of the local preacher, but of Bible readers and students generally."To open up the Divine Word, to excite interest in it, to indicate the line of thought of the sacred writers, to induce devout meditation, and to point the spiritual lessons that are strewn throughout the pages of the Holy Scriptures has been my simple aim."Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist pastor and evangelist...

"To see a masterpiece of painting on the walls of an art gallery while a throng of conventional sightseers is pressing past is a very different matter to seeing it quietly on the walls of some stately mansion, when there is time to sit down and drink in the artists thought, or catch the different lights of early morning, of noon, or of the fading day.

"Perhaps the enjoyment is the more complete when some devoted lover of the work stands beside, telling the story of its daily effect upon his mind, and indicating subtle beauties which had escaped the first superficial gaze.
It is with some...

Before our honored brother, Mr. F B Meyer, held a pastorate in London he was a welcome speaker in some of our Mildmay Conferences. Nor has he ceased to bring thither "acceptable words," both in public addresses and in Bible Readings. The following pages contain the substance of some of the spiritual instruction from the heart and lips of our friend and fellow-helper; and we believe the reader will be able to say, "That which was written was upright, even words of truth." (Ecc 12:10.) I have much pleasure in commending these readings, which aim at glorifying Jesus Christ our Lord. Frederick...
