The Claims of Christ by Chuck Smith
I am come as a light into the world, that whosoever believes in me should not abide in darkness. John 12:46
There is no denying the fact that the claims of Christ are radical. Jesus statements concerning Himself present every person with a choice to be made. We must either accept or reject His claims. He was either telling the truth or He was lying.
He claimed to be the Son of God and that He came to save the world. It is not an option to simply ignore such statements. For if Jesus is truly who He claimed to be, then our eternal destiny will be determined by whether or not we believe those claims.

The Gospel According To Grace by Chuck Smith
THE BOOK OF ROMANS (written by the Apostle Paul) has often been called, “The Gospel according to Grace.”
Paul teaches us that the grace of God is a free gift, bringing salvation to the lost. In Romans 3:23-24, Paul writes, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through redemption that is in Jesus Christ.” God’s grace is fully demonstrated in the work of Jesus Christ; His suffering, death, resurrection and ascension.
Only this grace can save a man from the wrath of God.
The Gospel According To Grace clearly proclaims the truths of God found in the book of Romans. To know His grace is to know the abounding love that He has for mankind, and to know and receive the love of God is to be truly born again.

Faith By Chuck Smith
Faith is the key to a successful Christian life. Faith takes you by the hand and walks you from one level of spiritual maturity to another. That is why the Word of God says, “Without faith it is impossible to
please God” (Hebrews 11:6). But what is faith? Where does it come from and how does it work? What does it accomplish? Why does it please God?
In this book, Pastor Chuck Smith explores these questions and a host of others
as they relate to the issue of faith. Using examples from God’s Word, as well as illustrations gleaned from over sixty years in the ministry, Pastor Chuck lays a strong case for faith:
• Faith gives you victory.
• Faith comforts in the midst of fear.
• Faith makes heavy burdens light.
• Faith helps the soul to wait even when God delays.
• Faith sees God’s help is greater than any force that can come against you.
It was faith that led Abraham into the Land of Promise. It was faith that led
the children of Israel through the Red Sea. And it was faith that enabled Peter to step out of the boat and walk on water. The question is: What might faith do in you?
