How come I'm not making a difference? Shouldn't life be more than working and sleeping? Why isn't my life more fulfilling? Your life is a trust from God, something to be used for His glory. Unfortunately, far too many people-even good Christian people-are poor stewards of how they spend their lives. Their preoccupation with material things and trivial issues keeps them from investing their time and energy in more satisfying ways. Let renowned Bible scholar Dr. Herbert Lockyer show you how effective life can be when even a part of it is devoted to the service of God's kingdom. In moving detail, Lockyer lays out the many ways in which busy Christians can spend their hours to make a difference, including...Working with children; Evangelism; Counseling; Home visitation; Assisting the handicapped; Financial stewardship; And many more! You'll be surprised at how fulfilling life can be when a portion of it is devoted to heavenly ends.

ஆசிரியர் குறிப்பு

When Dr. Herbert Lockyer (1886-1984) was first deciding on a career, he considered becoming an actor. Tall and well-spoken, he seemed a natural for the theater. But the Lord had something better in mind. Instead of the stage, God called Herbert to the pulpit, where as a pastor, Bible teacher, and author of more than fifty books, he touched the hearts and lives of millions of people. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute's fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London. In 1955, he returned to England, where he lived for many years. He then returned to the United States, where he spent the final years of his life in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with his son, the Rev. Herbert Lockyer Jr., a Presbyterian minister who became his editor.
