Also known as the "Authorized Version," The King James Version of the Bible is still the most widely used text in the English language. The Logos KJV includes the Strong's Numbers which allow English readers to identify and search for underlying Greek and Hebrew words in the original text.

The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.

In Dr. Charles Stanley’s best–selling daily devotional, readers will be encouraged to strengthen their Christian walk. Each month readers will focus on themes such as setting goals, preparing for challenges, communicating with God, and overcoming adversity.

In times of crisis and confusion, Dr. Charles Stanley has learned the one phrase that can carry him through: “God, You are in control.” The peace he has experienced in life stems from that foundational belief. In Finding Peace, Dr. Stanley shares with readers how they, too, can experience an unshakeable peace which “passes all understanding.”

Filled with encouragement to lift the soul, Finding Peace offers insight on what causes us to live without God’s peace in our lives, and how we can reverse course and open our hearts to receive it. Also, Stanley gives his perspective on the things that hinder peace—including the “Four Great Hallmarks of God’s Peace” and “Five Essential Beliefs for a Peaceful Heart”—to put the important message of this book into concrete terms. Addressing regret, anxiety, and fear, Dr. Stanley extends hope for overcoming the obstacles that block peace with the Lord. Finally, he gives direction on learning to live a life of contentment.

Internationally acclaimed author and preacher Charles Stanley adds to his impressive legacy with a year’s worth of devotionals drawn from his previous writings including best-sellers Success God’s Way, Seeking His Face, and Enter His Gates. Divided into twelve months but not dated for a specific year, this new book promises to become a perennial favorite.

Readers challenged to enter Into His Presence will be encouraged, uplifted, and spiritually renewed with this new devotional. In Scripture we find the Lord’s people having dramatic encounters with God in mountaintop situations. There they are given revelation and transformation. To receive what He had for them they had to come away from the spiritual status quo of life and go a higher level. That is the purpose of this devotional guide—to lift the reader to a new level of intimate, mountaintop encounters with God. Each section will have an introduction explaining the focus for that month’s devotional reading and a listing of relevant Scripture along with daily devotional commentary.

Dr. Charles Stanley identifies seven destructive temptations and gives Christians the hope and skills they need to live an abundant and obedient life. When you are in the heat of spiritual battle, it does not take long to realize that Satan will do anything to prevent you from becoming the person God has planned for you to be. However, he does not always employ an all-out frontal assault. Sometimes the danger comes in subtle, secretive schemes—landmines hidden along our paths. These landmines, once detonated, can paralyze us spiritually and stop us from living an abundant and obedient life. In Landmines, beloved pastor Dr. Charles Stanley shows readers how to identify, avoid, or defuse landmines of: Pride, Jealousy and Envy, Insecurity, Compromise, Unforgiveness, Sexual Sin, and Laziness. Avoiding serious trouble is not difficult, says Dr. Stanley, especially if you follow the route God has given you to travel. God knows the way through every minefield.

As young believers we often begin our walk with Christ energetically and ready to “take on the world.” But somewhere along the way, we find ourselves faltering. Why? Because we stop relying on the Holy Spirit to guide us and protect us from temptation.

Charles Stanley reminds us that the Holy Spirit is the promise from the Father for all believers. By illuminating who He is, how we receive Him, and what He can do in our lives, Stanley removes much of the mystery surrounding the Holy Spirit, and offers new hope to believers who have long been perplexed by this member of the Trinity.

To many in the world, the Christian faith is a set of rules and regulations. But Jesus himself did not teach his followers in sets of dos and don’ts; he taught them foundational principles to live by. These life principles, Charles Stanley says, are the simple truths that act as a compass for our souls. You will learn:

• Your life is a Masterpiece
• Waiting on God is not passive
• Disappointments are inevitable, but discouragement is a choice
• You were created with eternity in your heart
• God assumes full responsibility for your needs when you obey Him

Using examples from his own personal experiences, Biblical personalities, and case studies, Dr. Stanley demonstrates how these key life principles impact life in the 21st century—and how they make us, as Christians, different from those who live their lives according to preference, rather than principles.

Abraham leaving Ur for an unknown land God would show him. Jesus going out into the wilderness of temptation. Paul’s life-changing trip down the Damascus Road. All of these biblical journeys offer insight into our own personal spiritual journey. In On Holy Ground, Charles Stanley takes an in-depth look at twelve-such biblical journeys to show us how we, too, can meet God and follow where He leads. Relating the timeless stories to our modern situations, Dr. Stanley offers solid biblical teaching that meets practical daily needs for encouragement and inspiration. A powerful devotional in the tradition of his best-selling classic, Enter His Gates.

Dr. Charles F. Stanley understands it can be difficult to walk the dimly lit paths of life with the lantern of God’s guidance shining only a few steps ahead of us. But God’s Word provides the spiritual guidance to lead us—it is the pathway to His presence. Pathways to His Presence focuses on twelve spiritual pathways that will guide you confidently into the presence of God, including:

As you walk these pathways, you will join a long list of biblical heroes who were called to move forward into impossible situations armed only with their trust in God. He has promised that when we do so, He will provide us with the guidance we long for.

• The Pathway to God’s Will
• The Pathway to Forgiveness
• The Pathway to Victory
• The Pathway to Freedom
• The Pathway to the Future

As Christians, we desire communion with God. In Seeking His Face, Dr. Charles Stanley has provided 365 opportunities for anyone to experience a divine encounter. “We can’t manipulate these encounters” writes Stanley, “but we can make ourselves attentive to His voice, listening for instruction and direction.” Stanley urges readers to set aside time to meet with God daily; this devotional is an ideal starting point for anyone desiring a life-changing encounter with Him.

Each daily entry of Seeking His Face includes a Scripture reading, a key verse, a brief interpretation, and a prayer. Chapter topics include forgiveness, intimacy, grace, personal ministry, and emotional healing.

In Scripture, wisdom is portrayed as a most important treasure, something to be sought after with consistent discipline. We, as Christians, tend to think of wisdom as something to be attained—an ideal to which we aspire. Charles Stanley contends that genuine wisdom is evidenced in how we live. The truly wise person is one whose values, perspectives, career goals, and daily decisions are all shaped by the wisdom found in Christ.

Choosing to live according to Biblical precepts is a lifestyle foreign to the worldly patterns among which we live. Inevitably, there will be clashes between the wisdom of God and that of the world. Dr. Stanley teaches how to apply God’s wisdom as we handle finances, relate to others, care for our physical health, and carry out day-to-day duties. This significant volume presents a way of living that embodies wisdom from above.

At some point or another every Christian will experience a satanic attack—a willful, determined assault by the Devil for the purpose of harming our spirit, soul, or body. God wants Christians to be under His control, but the Enemy will do his best to destroy everything good in our lives. So the question is not how to avoid satanic attacks, but how to overcome them. Satan is not omnipotent, but he is nonetheless a very powerful adversary. However, God does not leave us to defend ourselves, and He wants us to understand His supernatural and unlimited ability to help us. Dr. Stanley will show readers how to achieve victory by:

• Identifying the enemy
• Dressing in the full armor of God and standing firm
• Releasing God’s energy, divine power, and protection through prayer
• ensing the forewarnings of Satan’s attacks on finances, family, relationships, or health

Spiritual warfare is fought every day on the battlefield of your mind. The Adversary knows that if he can influence and direct your thinking, it’s only a matter of time before you’re vulnerable to the allure of sin. Dr. Stanley teaches that to stand against Satan’s attacks, you must meditate upon biblical principles and take every thought captive by arming yourself with the sword of the spirit—God’s Word.
