F. B. Meyer was born into a wealthy Christian home in London on April 8, 1847. As a youth, he often conducted Sunday evening services in the dining room before the children were old enough to attend evening public worship. In this way he developed preaching ability very early in life. Ordained into the Baptist ministry, he pastored many influential British churches. He introduced D. L. Moody to Great Britain; they were fast friends. After fifteen years in the pastorate, he began a worldwide ministry of preaching. At the age of eighty he made his twelfth preaching tour of America, preaching almost every night on a 15,000 mile tour. He went home to be with the Lord on March 28, 1929. He authored forty books, besides numerous tracts and articles. Some of the best known are The Obedience of Faith, Tried By Fire, The Way Into the Holiness, and Christ In Isaiah.

From renowned Bible scholar F. B. Meyer comes this fascinating, all-encompassing profile of one the most important figures in Scripture. Meyer digs deeply into both Scripture and the historical record to reveal lessons and personal applications from this complex man of faith. Far from the imposing man of granite sculpted by Michelangelo, Moses was full of flaws and deficiencies that rendered him powerless, save for the all-sufficient grace of a mighty God. Yet, despite many frustrations and human frailties, Moses did not back down or quit but instead grew closer to the heart of God, learning the importance of obedience, patience, courage, faith, and prayer. As a result, God entrusted His servant with greater responsibility. Woven throughout this character study are wonderful lessons and realities that can help all believers become better able to serve God and others.
Many children of god are so deeply exercised on the matter of guidance that it may be helpful to give a few suggestions as to knowing the way in which our Father would have us walk, and the work He would have us do. The importance of the subject cannot be exaggerated; so much of our power and peace consists in knowing where God would have us be, and in being just there.
From F.B. Meyer’s outstanding Biblical biographies series of great people of faith, here is the story of Elijah. Meyer demonstrates how Elijah’s ministry was the evidence of a spirit-filled life, showing that believers today have access to the same power. Meyer encourages his readers to seek “the Lord God of Elijah.”
From the time of man’s innocence in Eden, marriage has had the divine blessing. And Jesus expressly gave the approval of the new covenant to the original command, when He reiterated the ancient words that a man should leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife and that they would be one flesh. Tender are the ties of home with the mother that bore, the sister that tended, and the father that watched the onset of life and taught the boy to shoot his first arrow, kick his first ball, or take his first dive. But all these must yield in strength and tenacity to the call of that masterful love which says of two lives, "You shall no longer be two, but one.” In the sacred ties of marriage, there should be the same reverence, delicacy, and purity that have prevailed in the preceding months or years of courtship. Reason and the recognition of the presence of Christ and His holy angels must always influence all the relationships of our lives. Whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, may we do all to the glory of God. List of Chapters 1. The Wedding Day 2. What the Wife Expects from Her Husband 3.

While sketching every period of his life, I have concentrated myself on those passages which trace the steps by which the shepherd became the king. It was in these that his character was formed, his sweetest psalms composed, and those manifold experiences encountered which enabled him to interpret and utter the universal heart of man." -- From the Preface
To some the psalms are merely to be read and, perhaps, forgotten. Thus their rich treasures are never discovered. Often this is because people do not realize the infinite amount of gold there is to be mined in the psalms. Listen to a master of this Bible book, as with implements of experience and spiritual insight he enthusiastically probes this golden store. Rev. Baldwin Brown remarks about the book of Psalms, "In palace halls, by happy hearths, in squalid rooms, in pauper streets, in prison cells, in crowded sanctuaries and in lonely wilderness--everywhere they have uttered our moan of contrition and song of triumph; our tearful complaints, and our wrestling, conquering prayer." The intentions of the psalms are to teach, to bring to remembrance, to give thanks and to commemorate the circumstances under which the psalms were penned. The most prominent feature in the psalms is praise. Author Meyer himself comments, "There are three ways in which the Psalms may be studied. We may look at them, first, as recording the inner heart-history of those who wrote them, and especially of David. Next we should study the Psalter in its bearing on our blessed Lord. Lastly, we may study the Psalms for durableness, nourishing our spirits with their rich expressions of experimental religion." As one seeks to open up, to study the Psalms, he will find this masterful, comprehensive, deeply-devotional volume on that book an inestimable aid and a faithful guide to a better and fuller understanding of the sacred and blessed treasures of the divinely-inspired Psalms. These gripping studies provide unusually fine sermon outline material as well.
To describe this as simply a bedside book is to limit its usefulness. First and foremost it is a book for one's own private devotions, but no preacher or teacher can fail to gain much useful knowledge and thought-provoking material for sermons and addresses. These chapters throw a flood of light on the pages of the first five books in the Bible--every one has its gems of exposition.
As the people of Israel returned from exile in Babylon, they found their nation, including their temple, in ruins. Out of this rubble came the prophet Zechariah with a message of hope, proclaiming that their God had not forsaken them. He was still at work and planned to live again with His people in Jerusalem. He would save them from their enemies and cleanse them from sin. Zechariah’s prophecy of the coming Messiah would later serve the apostles as an explanation for the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and they would quote the prophet often in their gospels. Legendary Bible scholar F. B. Meyer takes the reader through the book of Zechariah, providing background, context, and commentary that bring clarity and understanding to this important and God-inspired prophet of hope.
In Abraham or The Obedience of Faith, F.B. Meyer tells the story of Abraham, who lived a life of faithfulness to God. Abraham's life is a witness to the fact that faith can grow in our lives. "But wherever faith is, it is the link with Omnipotence; the channel for God's communications; the wire along which the Fire of Heaven may travel. And as it is used according to the promptings of the Divine Spirit, and in obedience to His commands, it will grow. It grew in Abraham. It will grow in us." Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England, a contemporary and friend of D. L. Moody and A. C. Dixon. Meyer was involved in ministry and inner city mission work on both sides of the Atlantic, authored 40 religious books, numerous articles and was described as The Archbishop of the Free Churches.
Of the many Sacred Biographies I have written, this has been by far the most interesting. For days and weeks together I have lived in the company of this glorious man; but only to feel that he transcended all one's loftiest conceptions. Like some great mountain range, the more his character is traversed, the more it grows on the imagination." -- From the Preface

Before our honored brother, Mr. F B Meyer, held a pastorate in London he was a welcome speaker in some of our Mildmay Conferences. Nor has he ceased to bring thither "acceptable words," both in public addresses and in Bible Readings. The following pages contain the substance of some of the spiritual instruction from the heart and lips of our friend and fellow-helper; and we believe the reader will be able to say, "That which was written was upright, even words of truth." (Ecc 12:10.) I have much pleasure in commending these readings, which aim at glorifying Jesus Christ our Lord.
