Synopsis

Genuine and wholesome spirituality is the goal of all Christian living. It sounds so simple, doesn't it? Perhaps the principle may be, but living by the principle is another matter altogether. In Balancing the Christian Life, Charles Ryrie reminds you that 'the Bible must be the guide and test for all our experiences in the spiritual life ...and if any experience fails to pass that test, it must be discarded.' He warns that 'an unbalanced application of the doctrines related to spirituality will result in an unbalanced Christian life.'

Ryrie examines numerous key issues of spirituality, including:

• The old and the new life
• Sanctification
• Using your gifts
• Routine faithfulness
• Wiles of the Devil
• Temptation
• Confessing
• Forgiving

For more than 40 years, Balancing the Christian Life has been changing lives worldwide. Take time to read this classic study--and allow it to change yours.

From the Back Cover

"I could have been dead so many times. I always spent more money than I had, I was always in over my head, and I was always involved in too many things at one time...Everything I did was with me in mind." - Manny Mill

Descending into a life of debauchery, Manny Mill found himself teetering on the edge of personal and financial disaster.

In this candid and vividly personal book, Manny tells how His pursuit of pleasure led him to the depths of human despair. A declared fugitive of the law, he was running from the FBI when he ran into Christ and a life of radical redemption. Manny's experiences will thrill you. His faith will inspire you. And his words will challenge you to think about your life, your relationship with the God of the universe and your need for a radical redemption.

The life and ministry of Manny Mill is another evidence that a reformed vision of God's sovereign grace ignites radical, risk-taking ministries of mercy, not passive fatalism. May his story set ten thousand captives free - including those who have never been in prison. John Piper, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church

At some point everyone is in a type of prison - Manny's journey shows the only way to true freedom. You'll be inspired by his incredible passion, unusual manner and thrilling life story! Burl Cain, Warden of Louisiana State Penitentiary, Angola

Manny's life is a great example of God's redeeming grace. His spirit and enthusiasm for serving the Lord he loves is contagious. We would all do well to catch some of it. C. William Pollard, Chairman Emeritus of The ServiceMaster Company

Radical Redemption is a compelling account of Manny Mill's incredible transformation. It has been our family's adventure to witness up-close Manny's new life in Christ. Norma C. Wessner, wife of the late Dr. Kenneth T. Wessner

What do you think of when you hear the word "Cuba"? Do you think of Fidel Castro? Or, if you are old enough, the Bay of Pigs or the Cuban Missile Crisis? My children might remember the little boy, Elian Gonzalez, who lost his mother while fleeing Cuba and became a national icon as government leaders debated where he should live. I can relate to that little boy. I love my Cuban family and my homeland, but I cannot forget the suffering that still exists there today. In 1956, the year I was born, Cuba was a popular place for a weekend getaway. From Key West, Florida, to Havana was a ninety-mile trip across the Straits of Florida. Illiteracy was high, and about 25% of the country's adult males were unemployed. The need for change was obvious, so many were glad when Fidel Castro came down from his rebel headquarters in the mountains on January 1, 1959. A white dove on his shoulder, a Cuban cigar in his mouth, a long beard on his face, and the strength of his resolve gave the impression that he was a type of savior for the Cuban people. I was three years old.
