Victory Through Surrender - Paperback

by Anne Mathews-Younes (Introduction by), E. Stanley Jones (Author)

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. E. Stanley Jones was a great man who walked with God. His wisdom developed over a lifetime is distilled here. The only path to victory - joy, peace, and purpose in life - is by surrendering one's life to God and spending the rest of one's life surrendering over and over again until it becomes a habit. It is a process, one that takes time and self-discipline. But the result, as Jesus promised, is a life that is full and overflowing - not one without pain - but one of overcoming trial after trial by taking direction from the One who knows and loves us like no one else. The secret of how to do that is in this book. Harold G. Koenig, M.D.Director, Center for Spirituality, Theology and HealthDuke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina

Author Biography

E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973), was described by a distinguished Bishop as the "greatest missionary since Saint Paul." This missionary-evangelist spent seventy years traveling throughout the world in the ministry of Jesus Christ. As a well-known, engaging, and powerful evangelist, Jones delivered tens of thousands of sermons and lectures. He typically traveled fifty weeks a year, often speaking two to six times a day. Jones worked to revolutionize the whole theory and practice of missions to third world nations by disentangling Christianity from Western political and cultural imperialism. He established hundreds of Christian Ashrams throughout the world, many of which still meet today. E. Stanley Jones was a crusader for Christian unity, a nonstop witness for Christ, and a spokesman for peace, racial brotherhood, and social justice. Jones wrote twenty-seven books and more than 3.5 million copies of his books have been sold and they have been translated into 30 languages.
