The One Year Daily Insights with Zig Ziglar
En 1985 as a guest speaker at a megachurch in Dallas, Texas, I quoted Zig Ziglar from his book See You at the Top in my message on overcoming giants in your life. Aft er the service, a tall, thin, immaculately dressed gentle man approached me and said, “I really liked what you had to say about Zig Ziglar.”

The One Year Daily Insights with Zig Ziglar
I replied by asking, “Oh, are you a Zig fan?” Th e “fan” paused for a moment before he said, “I am Zig Ziglar!” To my astonishment (and embarrass ment), I had met one of my heroes!
Long before I ever met Zig Ziglar in person, his book See You at the Top inspired me to make signifi cant changes in my life. I began setting goals.
One of the fi rst was to graduate from college. Zig’s influence in my life through that book continued as I earned a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, and a doctorate.
After I had met Zig and as our friendship grew, I began receiving regular Saturday morning calls from him that have been a great blessing in my life. As Zig prepared to teach his Sunday morning Bible class, he would go over his ideas for his lesson. I soon became his “pastor in residence” and amateur theologian.
As we spoke of the week’s passage from Scripture, I would use my background in biblical studies to give him context and socioeconomic, geographical, and spiritual implications from my personal studies. Saturday mornings with Zig became not just a ritual but a blessing that I will treasure forever.
Our long-standing friendship has been featured in two books: Sheltering Trees, by Donna VanLiere and Eddie Carswell, and Over the Top, Zig’s sequel to See You at the Top. Zig used my story of becoming “a meaningful specifi c” rather than “a wandering generality.”
We bonded from the beginning, and what ensued was an unequaled relationship that—other than my relationship with Jesus Christ—has helped shape me as a husband, a father, a Christian, and an inspirational speaker.
— Dr. Ike Reighard
I asked Ike to write this book with me because I have valued and trusted his spiritual discernment and his biblical counsel for many years now.
I believe you will benefi t, as I have, from the wisdom and knowledge that Ike Reighard brings to this book. Between the two of us, you will fi nd quotes, memory verses, and thought-provoking daily insights into our beloved Word of God.
It is our prayer that these daily devotions will encourage you and lead you into a more intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. – Zig Ziglar

Possibility of Little Beginnings
When the air balloon was first invented, a matter of fact gentleman contemptuously asked Dr. Franklin what was the use of it. The doctor answered this question by asking another:—“What is the use of a new-born infant?” It may become a man. This anticipation of great things springing from small beginnings should induce us to put into practice those holy promptings which at certain seasons move our souls. What if we ourselves and our work should be little in Zion; cannot the Lord cause the grandest issues to proceed from insignificant beginnings?—SPURGEON.

You are about to embark on a faith journey that will change your life forever. As a student of faith for decades, I have studied its processes, followed the contemporary science of it, practiced the precepts, and have been astounded at its absolute significance in all that we think and do.

365 Days of Faith
Understanding and practicing the processes of faith can have a greater impact on your life than any endeavor you choose to undertake. That impact is significant, so you must know what faith is.
The average dictionary would give us a relatively simple answer to describe faith, but the way the Bible defines it is quite different. Look at what Hebrews 11:1 says: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
If you quote that to a true seeker of knowledge, or a deep-thinking critic, they might respond with something like, “Okay, so it is a substance, and an evidence, but what is it made of?” That’s all we know from this verse—faith is substance and evidence—but, we still don’t know what faith’s ingredients are.
A dictionary definition might say that faith is basically belief, but is that truly what Bible faith is? The apostle James warns us that even the devil believes. (James 2:19.) Does that mean that the devil has faith?
If belief and faith are synonymous, then is it the same thing to believe in God and to have faith in God? Consider this: if someone came to you and said, “I believe in God,” would they think diff erently if you replied with, “Yes, but do you have faith in God?” The fact is, if we tell someone that faith is belief, or even trust, we are only expressing a half-truth.
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak. 2 Corinthians 4:13 NIV
The apostle Paul says here that Bible faith is speaking what you believe. That is true, but the Word also says that to establish something, two or three credible witnesses are needed. (2 Corinthians 13:1.)
Living by these principles has changed life immensely. I know that no matter what I face, faith is our victory. Instead of getting up and worrying about my day, I now make my declaration, “Get ready world. I’m about to show you something extraordinary!” That’s the attitude I want this book to birth in you.
Know that you are a believer, a faith warrior, a partner with God, and the devil’s worst nightmare.You are built for faith. Honor God by being the person you are created to be. It

The Power Of Prayer
In true Spurgeon style, each aspect dealt with in these pages will challenge, enlighten, and grow you into what he called, “the art of prayer.” Rarely do readers come away from one of Spurgeon’s books without some new form of knowledge.
The Power Of Prayer Chriatian book of Charles Spurgeon
Prayer was one of Charles Spurgeon’s favorite topics.
Even among his top-rated books, the topic of prayer was dealt with from several angles. This volume, however, was never intended as a book but is rather a collection of some of his best sermons on the subject.

The Power Of Prayer
Known for his direct, no-nonsense approach behind the pulpit, the essence of his fiery but simple rhetoric makes for the perfect guide or handbook. A simple, direct voice grabs hold of you from the opening statement, and then never lets go until the end.
Along the way there will always be something to learn; rarely do readers come away from one of Spurgeon’s books without some new form of knowledge.
As classics go, anything with the name ‘Spurgeon’ attached to it is regarded as a ‘must-have’ in any well-versed Christian’s library. He ranks among the top names in church literature because of his unique style of approaching topics.
Whether it’s doctrinal issues surrounding baptism, the Holy Spirit, and salvation, or more straightforward subjects like prayer and devotion, you always feel that he is speaking personally to you.
He avoided high, lofty, and academic tones, and instead favored a more conversational attitude, which can be found in the sermons in this book. “The Lord Jesus did not say, ‘Feed my giraffes,’ but ‘Feed my sheep.’” And so, this collection is easy to understand, but not always as easy to digest, because it demands a real, passionate, and devoted response—the same way that he lived his life!
To assist you, you will find the same heart and the same challenge that Spurgeon brought his congregants over 100 years ago but in English you can relate to.
Not only that, but a study guide has been designed to guide you to think even further and deeper on his words.
“I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.”

Nelson’s Annual Preachers’s Sourcebook Vol. 4
This sourcebook is designed to lie alongside all your other tools of word studies, exegesis, commentaries, analytical thought, and prayer that goes into the fully developed, prayed-over, and well-crafted sermon.
Nelson’s Anual Preachers’s Sourcebook Vol. 4 By O.S. Hawkins
I have always loved and honored those who are possessed and obsessed with a special and supernatural calling to preach the gospel.
Forever seared in my memory is my own personal call to ministry and the first sermon I ever preached. It was a hot and sultry summer evening, June 24, 1968, when I opened the Bible to Luke and preached on the subject of the cross to a group of rather rough-looking characters at the Union Gospel Mission.

Nelson’s Annual Preachers’s Sourcebook Vol. 4
My own preaching journey took me from those street corners and rescue missions of Fort Worth to the little town of Hobart on the Oklahoma plains, then to Ada, Oklahoma, and on to the Gold Coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and finally to the concrete canyons of downtown Dallas at the First Baptist Church.
Even today, in the midst of all of our technological sophistication, it is “still by the foolishness of preaching” that men and women are called to repentance.
The volume you now hold in your hands comes from the hearts and pens of some of the most God-blessed and able Bible expositors alive today. They are young like Jason Allen and a bit more mature like Erwin Lutzer.
Included are some of the most able theologians and culture warriors like Albert Mohler and Russell Moore as well as the most effective mass evangelists like Greg Laurie.
Among our contributors are college and seminary presidents, ethicists, pastors of all types and sizes of churches. All of them have a common thread woven throughout the fabric of their being—a rock-solid belief in the absolute trustworthiness of God’s infallible Word.
As a pastor/preacher myself for over four decades I know the constant cloud of pressure that hovers above the necessity of preparing multiple sermons every week. It never leaves us—ever! Thus, I want to raise high a red warning flag.
This volume is not designed to be a “Saturday night special” to whip out, load up, and fire on a Sunday morning. Volumes such as this should never be used as the only tool on the workbench of your personal study.
This sourcebook is designed to lie alongside all your other tools of word studies, exegesis, commentaries, analytical thought, and prayer that goes into the fully developed, prayed-over, and well-crafted sermon.
It is this editor’s prayer that your own messages will then exhort, encourage, and edify your hearers as these ideas are filtered through your own personality and accompanied by your own personal life illustrations. With that—let’s begin the journey.
