Customer Reviews

A great book to grow in faith and spirituality .

Connecting with the lessons of the Bible is very difficult in this secular world. The "Collected Works" gives the reader,who is searching for spiritual connectivity, a systematic approach to understanding the true message of the Scriptures. When comparing the comments of, Charles Swindoll, with Scripture content, the understanding that we do not have to sacrifice ourselves to be true to Gods word finally comes to light. Living a fruitful and happy life can be realized when proper understanding, and pratice of guidlines boundaries, as give in Scripture are adopted. I have read the hard copy. I also know that separate publishings of the works are available. I am trying to add this volume to my cherished collections and would like to see the works published once again in a two volume hardcopy.Thank you: hank@diver.mv.com
