The Hope Habit: How to Confidently Expect God's Goodness in Your Life
by Terry LawWhatever happened to hope? If you feel trapped by your circumstances and can’t see a way out, Terry Law wants to show you a new paradigm--the paradigm of hope, which he defines as the confident expectation of the goodness of God. This is not cheap optimism, a pep talk sprinkled with Bible references. This is real hope, the kind that knows “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” This book is all about hope as a mindset, a habitual choice, the course of first resort when despair tries an ambush. In other words, whether you are hopeful or hopeless is up to you. Perhaps you think it’s too late for you to make such a shift in your thinking, that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But you’re wrong! No matter how many years may have slipped through your fingers, thanks to God’s grace and mercy, every minute of your future is still on your side.
Dying to Self A Golden Dialogue: A Golden Dialogue (1898)
by William LawThis classic Christian book combines the work of two famous authors from the past: Andrew Murray (a famous South African preacher and writer born in the 1800s) and William Law (a priest from the Church of England born in the 1600s).In it, Andrew Murray provides commentary on the work of William Law which tackles a very difficult subject for many Christians: dying to self. First published in the 1800s, “Dying to Self” is one of Murray’s (and Law’s) lesser known works. Though written many years ago, Murray’s comments on Law’s insightful text have been “pure gold” to the hearts of numerous readers.The conversational style of the book between two people (Eusebius and Theophilus) seeking further enlightenment on the topic was written by Law, with explanations provided by Murray. Law’s wisdom, combined with Murray’s commentary, makes for an excellent treatment of the subject which will be especially helpful to Christians who don’t fully understand what “dying to self” really means. The good news, as Murray so expertly points out, is that this “dying to self” can and will be wrought by the Spirit of God when we surrender to Him. Fans of Murray’s book on Hebrews (“The Holiest of All”) will recognize that “Dying to Self” further clarifies Murray’s teachings as expounded in that book.-Print ed.
A Practical Treatise Upon Christian Perfection
by William LawWilliam Law, born in 1686, became a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1711, but in 1714, at the death of Queen Anne, he became a non-Juror: that is to say, he found himself unable to take the required oath of allegiance to the Hanoverian dynasty (who had replaced the Stuart dynasty) as the lawful rulers of the United Kingdom, and was accordingly ineligible to serve as a university teacher or parish minister. He became for ten years a private tutor in the family of the historian Edward Gibbon (who, despite his generally cynical attitude toward all things Christian, invariably wrote of Law with respect and admiration), and then retired to his native King's Cliffe. Forbidden the use of the pulpit and the lecture-hall, he preached through his books. These include Christian Perfection, the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Prayer, and, best-known of all, A Serious Call To a Devout and Holy Life, published in 1728.‘Law was about forty years of age when he wrote it and had he written no more, his reputation as a prose writer and ascetic theologian would have been established. The title of the book also Illustrates two dominant traits in his personality, the concern to be practical and the primary importance of growth in holiness. The perfection he recommends ‘calls no one to a cloyster, but to a right and full performance of those duties, which are necessary for all Christians, and common to all states of life'. It is the heart that finds expression in our actions, and it is the heart, therefore, that must be made perfect.' (A. Keith Walker, William Law, p. 47; quotation from Law's Introduction, p. 2)
