Dear Friend:
We are living in exciting times. As C.S. Lewis wrote, “Aslan
is on the move.” Aslan, like the Lion of Judah, represents
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is moving in amazing
power all over the world. We’re even receiving reports of
personal visitations of Jesus to Muslims in the Middle East.
The Holy Spirit is being poured out in various places, and
the prophecy of Joel is being fulfilled: “And it shall come
to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all
flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your
old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see
visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids
in those days will I pour out my spirit” (Joel 2:28-29).
Praise God for giving us the Holy Spirit; through Him the
love of God is shed abroad in our hearts. (See Romans 5:5.)
Please be sure to get a copy of a brand-new Pure Gold
Classic that we’ve published and will be presenting at
the ICRS Convention later this month. This book is entitled
The Holy Spirit: Who He Is and What He Does by
Reuben Archer Torrey (ISBN: 978-0-88270-473-9; $14.99). This
dynamic book includes an audio-excerpts CD and a very
helpful study guide. Torrey walked with the Holy Spirit on a
daily basis, and he knew Him as his Friend. This book will
show you how to cultivate a friendship with the Holy Spirit.
Speaking of Aslan, we have another new release that you will
want to have. It is entitled
The
Eternal Truths of Narnia by Julie Kloster (ISBN:
978-0-88270-616-0; $13.99). The book’s cover provides a
glimpse of Aslan that commands attention. More importantly,
the contents of this deeply spiritual book reveal the
eternal truths that C.S. Lewis carefully wove into the seven
books of The Chronicles of Narnia.
Congratulations, Dr. Cho!
This year Dr. David Yong-gi Cho, one of our best-selling
authors, is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the
beginning of his Christian ministry. He is the pastor of the
world’s largest church—the Yoido Full Gospel Central Church
in Seoul, South Korea. We are delighted to stand with Dr.
Cho on this momentous occasion, and we have released two new
titles by him, which we will be showing at the ICRS
Convention in Orlando.
The two new titles by Dr. Cho are
Dr. David Yonggi Cho: Ministering Hope for 50 Years
(ISBN: 978-0-88270-480-7; $11.99) and
4th Dimensional Spirituality School (ISBN:
978-0-88270-482-1; $11.99). The first book is a partial
autobiography by the famous pastor. It clearly shows how Dr.
Cho learned how to depend totally upon the Holy Spirit. The
second book is a workbook that will help those who love Dr.
Cho’s works to more fully understand his teachings about the
Fourth Dimension—a realm that is available to each of us on
a daily basis if we will learn to obey the Lord and have
faith in His promises.
May God richly bless Dr. Cho and the godly and prayerful
members of his growing church community.
One of the reasons why the Yoido Full Gospel Central Church
has experienced such phenomenal growth is due to prayer. Dr.
Joshua Young-Gi Hong, a pastor who is associated with the
church, has written a profoundly meaningful book on prayer,
which we will be releasing this autumn. It is entitled
Building a House of Prayer,
and it gives the reader eighteen easy-to-follow prayer
models for approaching God’s throne with faith and
confidence. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-455-5; $13.99)
Without qualification, I can say that this book by Dr. Hong
is one of the finest books on prayer I’ve ever read. I
highly recommend it to you.

ICRS Travel Assistance Program
We are pleased to announce that two other publishers
have joined with us in our ICRS Travel Assistance
Program—Destiny Image Publishers and
Whitaker House/Anchor Distributors. This has
allowed us to provide assistance to eight bookstores
who want to attend the ICRS Convention. For more
information on this revolutionary program, please go
to the ICRS Assist web site:
ICRSAssist.com.
We hope that other exhibitors will soon join us.
Other New Titles
In this newsletter I’ve already mentioned several of
our newest titles. There are several others, as
well. Each of these will be shown at the ICRS
Convention, and we hope you will come by our booth
in order to become familiar with them:
-
Walking With God by Andrew Murray.
(ISBN: 978-0-88270-474-6; $14.99.) This Pure
Gold Classic combines three of Murray’s works in
one book: Waiting for God, Walking With God, and
Be Perfect. The theme that ties these three
books together is sanctification, and so we are
calling this powerful volume “The Andrew Murray
Trilogy on Sanctification.”
-
101 of the Dumbest Things People Have Done
by Ray Comfort. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-555-2;
mass-market paperback; $5.99.) This is a truly
funny book that will grab the reader’s
attention. However, at the end of the book the
reader will be confronted with a strong
challenge in the form of an evangelistic appeal
that will demand a response. This little book
will be a great tool for soul winners to use.
-
The Fear Factor by Akeem Shomade. (ISBN:
978-0-88270-501-9; $14.99.) Based on 1 John
4:18, this teaching book reveals the sources of
fear in our lives and how to overcome it through
the love of God. The author is a pastor in
London who has learned how to deal with fear in
his own life, for he was reared in a Muslim home
in Nigeria and, when he became a Christian, he
had to face fear of rejection and persecution
every day. This is an extremely helpful book for
anyone who deals with fear, anxiety, or worry in
any form.
-
Women of Faith by Donna Kafer. (ISBN:
978-0-88270-478-4; $12.99) This is the second
book in our Gardens of Grace series—books on
valiant women who have become Christian leaders
through the centuries. Donna’s first book, Women
of Courage, has sold very well in women’s
groups, and this book promises to become a
bestseller, as well. The particular Women of
Faith that Donna writes about in her newest book
include: Mary, the mother of Jesus; Susannah
Wesley; Catherine Booth; Hannah More; and many
others. This is a great gift book for Mother’s
Day, Christmas, and all other important
occasions.
-
Preparing Yourself for God’s Promises by
M. Denise Baccus. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-476-0;
$12.99.) Based on the Book of Jeremiah, Denise
Baccus shows the reader how to believe and
receive all God’s promises, which are yes and
amen in Christ Jesus. (See 2 Corinthians 1:20.)
This book will lead you to prepare for the best
and expect the best.
-
Manhood—Navigating the Mind Fields by
Peter O. Pritchard. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-479-1;
$11.99) This is the best book I know of to help
men overcome lust and sexual temptations in
their lives. A thirty-one-day devotional, this
book leads men to a new understanding of God’s
plan for their lives and how His power is
available to them, as they resist all
temptations. (See 1 Corinthians 10:13.)
Autumn Releases
To whet your appetite for the books we will be
bringing out this fall, I will simply list the
titles, their authors, and sales information
below:
- The God of the
Mountain by Penny Cox Caldwell.
Based on years of research and exploration,
this book reveals the location of the real
Mount Sinai. This is a truly fascinating
book. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-605-4; $19.99.)
- Ten People You
Meet at Christmas by Father Jose
Pulickal. This is a wonderful Christmas book
that follows the lives of ten key people who
were a part of the original Christmas story
and what we can learn for our own lives from
them. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-646-7; $13.99)
- Comfort Food
by Ray Comfort. This is not a cookbook, but
it does provide nutritional food for the
soul. Devotional format, good teaching,
anecdotes that are both serious and
humorous, and sound Christian doctrine.
Another great evangelistic tool by Ray
Comfort. (ISBN: 978-0-88270-528-8; $11.99)
-
Building a
House of Prayer by Joshua Young-Gi
Hong. (Please see the description of this
book under the section of this newsletter
that is entitled “Congratulations, Dr. Cho!”
Onward and Upward!
In these times of the world's economic
instability, it is so important for us to
keep our eyes fixed on the One who is our
source of everything, the One who has
already blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in Christ Jesus. (See Ephesians
1:3.) Isaiah said, “You will keep him in
perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you:
because he trusts in you” (Isaiah 26:3).
God has given us an important work to do in
these end times, and it is such a privilege
to serve Him in the ministry of Christian
literature. Now, more than ever, it is vital
for us to keep our focus on Him, for this
truly is the source of inward peace. Jesus
said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give to you: not as the world gives, give I
to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).
As we busily prepare for the ICRS
Convention, we are blessed to be able to
enjoy the deep sense of peace that God has
given to us. We pray that you are
experiencing that same peace—perfect
peace—in the important work you do.
Hope to see you soon!
Magnificent blessings to you and yours,
Lloyd B. Hildebrand
Publisher/CEO
