Christ manifested – by John Fletcher

John Fletcher was de beoogde opvolger van John Wesley. Hij is het nooit geworden vanwege zijn eerdere overlijden. Van hem werd gezegd dat er geen mens is geweest nederiger dan hij.

The tribute Fletcher's wife, Mary Bosanquet, penned concerning her husband is the envy of all married Christians: "Since the time I had the honour and happiness of living with him, every day made me more sensible of the mighty work of the Spirit upon him….I never knew anyone walk as closely in the way of God as he did."

He deserved the reputation his name still enjoys among Methodists. The key to Fletcher's saintliness was a humility that, so far from self-belittlement (a sign of psychological illness rather than of godliness) was utter self-forgetfulness. Genuinely humble because never conscious of it.

The Two Covenants - by Andrew Murray

Andrew Murray was an amazingly prolific Christian author. He lived and ministered as both a pastor and a writer from the towns and villages of South Africa.

All of his publications were originally written in Dutch and then translated into English. As his popularity grew, Murray's books found their way into more than twelve foreign languages during his lifetime alone.

Man - The Dwelling Place of God – by A.W. Tozer

In 1919, five years after his conversion, and without formal theological training, Tozer accepted an offer to pastor his first church. This began forty four years of ministry, associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), a Protestant evangelical denomination.

Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer. "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life", comments his biographer, James L. Snyder in the book, In Pursuit of God: The Life Of A.W. Tozer. "He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them", writes Snyder.
