Someone has said that you are the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.

Through biographies I have been privileged to listen too many of the soldiers of the cross as they stood in their pulpits and preached. I have even shared those intimate and sacred moments in their studies while they prayed. In biographies I have been privately mentored by finest teachers the world has ever known.
Through biographies I have attended the service on Aldersgate Street when John Wesley was converted. I have sat beside Spurgeon in a little Primitive Methodist Church and listened to a deacon declare, "Look unto me and be ye saved." I have walked to the pulpit with G. Campbell Morgan, looked out a cobbler's shop window with William Carey, shouted and danced with Billy Bray, prayed with John Hyde and felt the fires of revival with Jonathan Edwards and Evan Roberts.

Of all the biographies I have read, there is one that never ceases to stir my heart. I have read time and time again and the more I read the more it blesses me.

The author is the Holy Spirit and the publisher is Ephesians Two Pub ...
