The Acceptable Sacrifice: by John BunyanAuthor: John Bunyan |
![]() |
| The Excellency of a Broken Heart With spiritual sensitivity and in a meticulous manner Bunyan carefully unveils the splendor and attraction of a heart that has been broken by the Lord. Tommy Tenney When came his skill? He learned it of the God of Jacob; he learned it of the Holy Ghost; for the Holy ghost is the great counsellor who teaches us how to advocate his cause aright. Charles Spurgeon The One Who gave us our hearts is the One Who also will break our hearts. The One Who breaks our hearts is the One Who heals our hearts. John Bunyan's words are delivered with compelling conviction as he passionately portrays the beauty of the only sacrifice that is acceptable to God. With carefully crafted words he describes the wonder and majesty of a heart broken before the Lord. The broken hearted are not forsaken or ignored, for they are 'His jewels, His beloved.' The Acceptable Sacrifice is a timeless message and must be read by all who desire to enter into the Presence of the Lord. The name John Bunyan is inseparably linked with The Pilgrim's Progress, commonly known to be the second highest selling book in the English language (after the Bible). Though Bunyan had little formal education, he broke literary ground by writing this allegory of the Christian life in the speech of the common people of seventeenth-century England. When John Bunyan (1628-1688) was converted at age 25, he committed his life totally and irrevocably to the Lord Jesus Christ. Until his death, he possessed tireless enthusiasm for preaching the gospel. As a Baptist and a nonconformist, Bunyan eventually came into disfavor with the Church of England and thereby with the British government. Arrested for preaching illegally in a field, he chose to endure 12 years of imprisonment rather than promise not to preach again. During his imprisonment Bunyan wrote numerous articles and books, Christian classics that continue to inspire and challenge readers. Pages: 93 9 X 6 |
