Daniel Whittle, a major in the Civil War, shares his insights into spiritual warfare. He challenges the reader to the trumpet of the Gospel. He begins with realizing the necessity to be born again by the Holy Spirit for warfare to be possible. He explains that Satan is a real person and is deceptive, and to use the Word of God to overcome him. Being dead to sin, he explains, is being dead to God's judgment, in relation to God's Law of sin, but spiritual warfare still exists. A quote from the book: "The Holy Spirit in regeneration is not to change the nature of the flesh at all; but to implant a new nature--Christ formed within by the Holy Spirit, in the power of which the believer does indeed deny the flesh, and is no longer living as minding the flesh. But the flesh is still there, unchangeably evil in its nature, with no improvement to be looked for in it."
"Hymn singing reflects a congregation's spiritual vitality and their response to God's grace.
The incidents which are published in this volume, are vouched for upon the strongest proofs of authenticity possible to obtain, and are either of circumstances known amid my own experience, or connected with the lives of my correspondents and their friends. They are the thankful record and tribute to the power of persevering faith. Nothing has been published concerning which there is the least shadow of doubt. All have been carefully investigated. Every case has been one of real prayer, and the results that have come, came only in answer to the prayer of faith, and were not possible to obtain without it. They demonstrate to a wonderful degree, the immediate practical ways of the Lord with his children in this world, that He is far nearer and more intimate with their plans and pursuits than it is possible for them to realize.

The Wonders of Prayer By Daniel Webster Whittle
Legendary preacher Stephen Olford's historic World War II-era collection of quiet time devotions, based on each New Testament chapter, is a remarkably focused assemblage of passionate, historical, and inspiring text.
From the Foreword: "This book of gospel music is a collection of lyrics and chords representing th e familiar praises of Jesus Christ. The chords, noted above the lyrics, will aid in the accompaniment of the songs. The starting note indicates the first note of the melody. The main purpose of this book is to give the gospel singer a place to find his favorite songs and all the verses he may wish to sing. Some of these familiar songs date back to the early Christian Church, while others are contemporary. One will find here th e longstanding hymns of the Church, revival songs and choruses, Negro spirituals, and children’s songs. I have truly enjoyed putting this collection together for you. I hope you will find this book both a blessing and an inspiration to your spiritual life. God bless you."

We may easily forget words that we read, or even memorize, but the melodies that we hear and sing remain in our thoughts, our minds, and our hearts forever. When Biblical truths are stated in a musical form we enjoy, the result is a penetration into our lives that has lasting spiritual benefits. These enduring songs convey a message that never grows old! So sing the hymns. Sing them over and over again. Seek out some of the great traditional songs that are rarely heard today. Purposefully learn hymns you do not know -- you will discover some gems.
