Straight to the Heart

Phil Moore is the author of the "Straight To The Heart" series of bite-sized devotional commentaries. Punchy, relevant and refreshingly direct - let's go straight to the heart of the Bible together.

"In taking us straight to the heart of the text, Phil Moore has served us magnificently ... Phil writes so relevantly and with such submission to Biblical revelation."

Terry Virgo

"Want to understand the Bible better? Don’t have the time or energy to read complicated commentaries? ... Allow Phil Moore to explain and then apply God’s message to your life. Think of this book as the Bible’s message distilled for everyone."

Adrian Warnock | Christian Blogger

“Phil makes the deep truths of Scripture alive and accessible. If you want to grow in your understanding of each book of the Bible, then buy these books and let them change your life!”

PJ Smyth | GodFirst Church, Johannesburg, South Africa

"Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you!"

Canon Michael Green

"Bible notes often say too little, yet larger commentaries can be dull - missing the wood for the trees. Phil's insights are striking, original, and fresh, going straight to the heart of the text and the reader!"

Greg Haslam | Westminster Chapel, London, UK

“Phil Moore's new commentaries are outstanding: biblical and passionate, clear and well-illustrated, simple and profound. God's Word comes to life as you read them, and the wonder of God shines through every page.”

Andrew Wilson | Author of “Incomparable” and “GodStories”

Wherever we live and whatever our circumstances, we all have plenty to learn from the founder of the Salvation Army who transformed late-nineteenth-century London through his radical lifestyle. I’ve been studying many of the best biographies to come up with Ten Things William Booth Did Which Changed The Face of His City. I believe that they are the things which we can do to change our cities too.

In the first blog in this series, I looked at Factor #1: Radical Personal Commitment to Jesus. In this blog, I will look at factors #2 and #3.

FACTOR #2: FIERCE AMBITION FOR THE NAME OF JESUS.

Ambition gets a bad press in Christian circles, but William Booth’s example reminds us that our biggest danger is not too much ambition, but too little. Sure, the English...
