by Mark H. Ballard
It has been noted that two men did more for Biblical Christianity in the 19th century than any other: Charles Haddon Spurgeon and Dwight Lyman Moody. The influence of D. L. Moody continues today. While much has been written about this great man of God, very little has been published about his preaching. In this volume Ballard exposes a little-known fact. Though Moody began as a topical speaker, he became a text-driven preacher in his later years.

by Mark H. Ballard
The movement to Christian maturity does not happen overnight. Many a preacher and teacher of God’s Word has noted that the race to Christian maturity is not a sprint, but a marathon.

Rather than viewing Christian maturity as a race, the emphasis here is that the path to Christian maturity is a journey.

Understanding Fasting
by Mark Ballard
In the Fall of 2002 Pastor Ballard sensed the Lord leading him to call Christian Fellowship Baptist Church to 40 days of intense focus on the Lord. As he continued to seek the Lord as to the nature of the 40 Days several elements developed into a cohesive unit which he called “40 Days of Focus.” Early in the development process Pastor Ballard sensed that the spiritual exercise of fasting needed to play a major role in the time of focus. Realizing that fasting is a little practiced and much misunderstood spiritual exercise; it was decided to turn the material into a booklet form that could be distributed.
Understanding Grace Giving
by Mark Ballard
Over a two-year period of time Pastor Mark Ballard led Christian Fellowship Baptist Church on a Journey Through the Bible. Each week the Sunday Morning, Sunday Night and Wednesday Night services were dedicated to a single book of Scripture.
