Ten Sermons on Women in the Bible For the third published book of his early career, Harold John Ockenga chose to focus on a series of biographical sermons on women in the Bible that he had preached on Sunday evenings at Boston's Park Street Church. Although the series continued for several months, ten of the sermons were selected for inclusion in this volume. "The identity of these women was not revealed until each sermon was preached," as we learn from the book's foreword, to help stimulate curiosity and a sense of anticipation. "Keen interest in Bible study," we are told, "was sustained through the entire series.
In this series of twenty-four beautifully crafted sermons, first delivered to the congregation of Boston's historic Park Street Church in 1942, Harold John Ockenga systematically works his way through Paul's letter to the Romans—explaining its key theological teachings, wrestling with some of its most difficult passages and applying those teachings to the daily lives of his parishioners. With the skill of an artist, Ockenga challenges each of us to conform our lives and our thinking to the truth of God's Word and with the insights of a spiritual physician, he points the way to God's amazing mercy and grace. For those who yearn to grow in their understanding and experience of the Christian faith, this is the book for you.
Sermons on an Evangelical Statement of Faith When the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) was founded in 1942, Harold John Ockenga was elected as it first president. By the following year, the young organization had adopted a written statement of faith affirming its commitment to historic Christianity, to the truth of Scripture, and to sound doctrine. As pastor of Boston's historic Park Street Church, Ockenga took the opportunity to preach a series of sermons explaining the basic teachings of the NAE and applying them to the life and labors of his congregation. His clear and powerful expositions are as relevant today as they were when they were first delivered.

In this series of beautifully crafted sermons, first delivered to the congregation of Boston's historic Park Street Church in 1937, Harold John Ockenga invites his listeners--then and now--to embrace the kind of historic Christianity that challenges the mind, transforms the behavior, and warms the heart. Calling Christianity "a religion of the heart" first and foremost, he explores the biblical foundations and practical implications of the religious heart, the wicked heart, the pricked heart, the contrite heart, the believing heart, the hardened heart, the burning heart, the pure heart, the troubled heart, and the loving heart.

A behind-the-scenes analysis of 21 essential leadership principles from the life of Billy Graham. Billy Graham looms large as one of the twentieth century's most influential and innovative leaders. Most people are unaware of his remarkable effectiveness as not only preacher and pastor, but as a CEO and a global leader as well. The Leadership Secrets of Billy Graham is full of transferable applications for leaders in the church, parachurch, academia, government, and business. Lively interviews with his closest associates illustrate 21 principles that have driven six decades of visionary impact. First-hand accounts reveal stories of courageous leadership and growth through painful lessons. Graham's relentless application of core beliefs and leadership principles have resulted in, among many honors, being listed in Gallup's ten 'most admired men' thirty times, more than anyone else. Time magazine named him one of the top ten leaders of the twentieth century. This book asks: How did this happen? What are the essentials he embraced to achieve such extraordinary results? What can we learn from him and apply to our own leadership roles? This book is dedicated to those readers: who sense the pressing need in today's world for inspired leadership; who rise to leadership's high calling and are willing to carry its weight; who are determined to deepen and expand their capacities and effectiveness.
