Description: Five Classics that Still Ignite Hearts and Minds.

1) The Conversion of St. Augustine (397) – After the conversion of St. Paul, the dramatic conversion of St. Augustine – as he himself tells it in his Confessions – is the most significant conversion story in Christian history. (1 CD)

2) Here I Stand by Martin Luther (1521) – Luther was called to defend his writings against the established church. The explosive speech he delivered decisively altered the spiritual map of the Christian world. (1 CD)

3) The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (1678) – “…as I slept I dreamed a dream.” So begins Bunyan’s beautiful and moving allegory of Christian, the Pilgrim, on his perilous journey to the Celestial City. (5 CDs)

4) Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards (1741) – The most famous and terrifying sermon ever preached on American soil by America’s most revered theologian. (1 CD)

5) The Method of Grace by George Whitefield (c. 1760) – Whitefield is considered one of the greatest evangelists of all time whose fervent message helped transform America during The Great Awakening. (1 CD)

Here in one collection, these five classics – each in an easy to listen to narration with an introduction to set up its moment in history – are vividly brought to life by master storyteller, Max McLean. Next to the Bible, these classics have had the most impact on the Christian faith.

The Conversion of St. Augustine (397) After the conversion of St. Paul on the road to Damascus, the dramatic conversion of St. Augustine – as he himself tells it in his Confessions – is the most significant conversion story in Christian history.

Augustine’s experience speaks to a dilemma that many people have understood when counting the cost of converting to Christ. He had come to intellectual certainty about the truth of Christianity but he could not embrace it in faith. “The way of the savior attracted me greatly,” he wrote, “but I was reluctant to pass through the straight and narrow gate…I loved the beauty of your house but I was tightly bound by the love of women…I was weak and chose the easier way, and for this single reason my whole life was one of inner turbulence and listless indecision. I had found the pearl of great price; but I hesitated to sell all that I had to buy it.”

After a monumental struggle – not unlike Jacob wrestling with the Angel – Augustine hears the voice of a child chanting over and over again “take up and read…I snatched up the apostle’s book, opened it and read the paragraph on which my eyes first fell…At that moment there was infused in my heart the light of full certainty and all the gloom of doubt vanished away.”

"Augustine meant for his spiritual autobiography to be read aloud, not just silently. Max McLean’s moving rendition of St. Augustine’s Conversion sends chills down the listener’s spine."
--Quentin J. Schultze, Ph.D.

Here I Stand by Martin Luther (1521) In the late afternoon of April 18, 1521, in the city of Worms, Germany, Martin Luther, a 37 year-old Catholic monk was called to defend himself before Charles the Fifth, the Holy Roman Emperor. The speech he delivered that day, Here I Stand, marked the beginning of the Reformation, a critical turning point in Christian history, that decisively altered the spiritual map of the world.

In this recording, Max McLean introduces the events leading up to the Diet of Worms: Martin Luther’s prayer the night before he delivered his speech; Luther's stirring defense; the Catholic church’s rebuttal; and, Luther’s final heartfelt response.

"Recovering the treasures of the past is a marvelous gift to the church. I love these presentations of the classics given by Max McLean. However, Martin Luther’s Here I Stand is my favorite."
--R. C. Sproul

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards (1741) “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is considered the most famous sermon ever preached in American history. Jonathan Edwards delivered this message on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. Many who heard it trembled and cried out for mercy. Others fainted. Five hundred people were converted that day.

"After listening to Max McLean’s presentation of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God , I immediately thought of the many people I know who have not yet embraced Christ as Savior. That single sermon has struck a match in my heart to share the Gospel with urgency and clarity! Thank you, Max, for breathing new life into the timeless words of Jonathan Edwards!"
--Joni Eareckson Tada

The Method of Grace by George Whitefield (c. 1760) George Whitefield is considered the greatest evangelist of the 18th century and was a major contributor to the ‘Great Awakening’ in Colonial America. Born in 1714 of humble origins, he grew up to become a very popular preacher. Churches were packed, bubbling over with eager anticipation to hear him. His preaching was described as apostolic, bold, purely gospel, with an immensity of pathos. His voice was so powerful that 30,000 people could hear him at once, and yet, so musical and well toned that some have said, “he could raise tears by his pronunciation of the word ‘Mesopotamia.’ ” In this sermon, The Method of Grace, Whitefield shows the way for a person to receive true, lasting peace in his soul.

"The Method of Grace by George Whitefield is a classic of revival preaching. Max McLean helps us to see how the great preachers of the Great Awakening brought the Gospel into connection with people’s hearts not just their heads. I read it early in ministry, and it had a profound impact on how I preach."
--Tim Keller
