F. B. Meyer

F. B. Meyer has written a series of outstanding Bible biographies, and the very first one he prepared was this one on the life of Joseph. Joseph’s life has a special charm, not only because of its intrinsic beauty, but because of its vivid anticipations of the Life that lights all lives.

It is on the basis of Christ’s finished work that we surrender ourselves to God. We do not work up to salvation but down from it. We do not serve to be saved but being saved we serve. A study in Romans.

Author F. B. Meyer

“F.B. Meyer’s devotional studies on biblical characters reflect a rare depth of spiritual experience. These great figures were not so different from ourselves–sometimes weak, indifferent, willful. Yet they had their moments of faith, humility, and courage, and God was able to use these for His greater purposes. God’s faithfulness, which not only accepts but transforms such inconsistency, calls us to more effective Christian living.

The Way Into the Holiest is F.B. Meyer’s detailed exposition of the book of Hebrews. It brings to readers rich lessons contained within the epistle. Meyer believed that Christians consistently overemphasized the necessity of religious rituals, ultimately forgetting the surpassing power of salvation and sanctification. Meyer writes of the dignity of Christ and of His glory, reminding Christians of their duty to worship Him. “This Epistle bears no name of author, or designation of church. But it needs neither. In every sentence we can detect the Authorship of the Holy Ghost: and feel that it has a message not to one age, but to all; not to one community, but to the universal Church.” Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England, a contemporary and friend of D. L. Moody and A. C. Dixon. Meyer was involved in ministry and inner city mission work on both sides of the Atlantic, authored 40 religious books, numerous articles and was described as The Archbishop of the Free Churches.

An Exposition of First Peter by F B Meyer born in 1847. He was a popular Keswick speaker. All of his books are worth reading.

F. B. Meyer writes, “The grace of purity and self-control, of fervent prayer and understanding in the Scriptures, of love for men and zeal for God, of lowliness and meekness, of gentleness and goodness–all is in Christ; and if Christ is in us, all is ours also.”
