Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I have been interested in reading one of Moody's works for awhile now because my Grandfather was a graduate of Moody Bible Institute. I know a little about Moody through biographic blurbs I've come across over the years, so I came to this book prepared to like it and I did. I was surprised to find the writing so approachable and easy to follow. So often historic theologians write on a difficult and serious level but this book seemed much more conversational in tone. The topics are presented in a straightforward manner and the chapters are broken down with sub-headings that help you keep the topic organized in your head so you can follow the subject of the chapters as well as the overall theme of the book. While that book would work well with youth/young Christians, there is enough depth that older Christians will find it of use also. I found it to be extremely encouraging. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I personally enjoy D.L. Moody and his entire body of work. His spiritual principles, knowledge of the Bible, and ability to breakdown the beauty of Christianity is quite amazing. This edition of the Overcoming Life is more accessible than some others and I would highly recommend it. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. DL Moody (1837-99) was an outstanding Christian evangelist and author of the 19th century. He developed a reputation as a powerful speaker and attracted large crowds numbering in the thousands but his ministry continues not only through organisations he founded but also through the body of writing he left behind. The Overcoming Life, a collection of sermons, was first published in 1896 and has been reissued by Aneko Press.Some of the mannerisms of the writing hint that it is an older work but Moody's message still comes across sharp and fresh. His prescriptions - such as overcoming unbecoming tempers by asking those you hurt by them for forgiveness - are just as potent as when they were first delivered. This would also be good medicine if you wanted to gently remind someone that the way to walk with God is not to go chasing after the latest awesomeness on the Christian scene but, well, to walk with God even when it means cutting away bad habits that seem to come to us so naturally. If there is a flaw in this particular presentation of the work, it is that it doesn't add much to the sermons. You do get a decently formatted rendering if you read the work online at the Aneko Press site or purchase their ebook version but I think they could have put a little work into introducing the new reader to Moody and to the genesis and subsequent influence of this particular book. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Very straightforward expression of focus areas that trip believers up. This book was a very easy, quick read. The author lets you know what he thinks. This book offers great insight into battling the enemy and overcoming weaknesses.nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Overcome your greatest enemy, yourself.Are you an overcomer? Or, are you plagued by little sins that easily beset you? Even worse, are you failing in your Christian walk, but refuse to admit and address it? No Christian can afford to dismiss the call to be an overcomer. The earthly cost is minor; the eternal reward is beyond measure.Dwight L. Moody is a master at unearthing what ails us. He uses stories and humor to bring to light the essential principles of successful Christian living. Each aspect of overcoming is looked at from a practical and understandable angle. The solution Moody presents for our problems is not religion, rules, or other outward corrections. Instead, he takes us to the heart of the matter and prescribes biblical, God-given remedies for every Christian's life. Get ready to embrace genuine victory for today, and joy for eternity.Inward topics include:TemperAppetiteEnvyPrideThe FleshExternal topics include:The WorldBusinessPersecutionOur ChildrenUpdated, Modern English Edition Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

My greatest concern about this text is that the references to both race and gender are very dated. The reader is generally addressed with a male pronoun, and there are statements that make it very clear that this text dates from an earlier era, in terms of the connections between different races.
That being said, this is a pleasant thought provoking spiritual classic. ( )
