Hope (hopeinbrazil) Dwight L. Moody wrote The Overcoming Life in 1886 to encourage Christians in their spiritual warfare against sin, self, and the world. Although he states that our primary enemy is the devil, he emphasizes the fact that much of our overcoming is an internal work. (over pride, envy, etc.)

Sprinkled throughout are homespun illustrations. I am used to the eloquent writings of A.W. Tozer and Andrew Murray, but really enjoyed D.L. Moody's more down-to-earth prose. He is solidly biblical.

Hope (hopeinbrazil) Hi Eric, I've been thinking about the Earthen Vessels book. Would you be able to return yours if we start it and find it's not what we expected?

Not sure. It should be here Tuesday. I'll check on Monday and see what I can do. It not, I'll eat it. Who knows, it might be a keeper for me. Though I doubt it after Renee's experience. We'll see. Thanks for checking. And sincere thanks to both of you for the concern.
