Song at Twilight contains 50 meditations from the able and fluent pen of Vance Havner, America’s most quoted preacher. In the preface he notes that his previous batch of meditations had been titled It Is Toward Evening, adding, “This new collection indicates that by now I am approaching twilight.” In these pages you will find the mature perceptions of someone who has walked with God for many decades through this decaying and decadent world with a firm step and steady gaze toward the city whose builder and maker is God. The gates of that city are within sight as the traveler shares with us the distilled wisdom of many years before taking...

“It is toward evening, and the day is far spent” (Luke 24:29). So said the Emmaus disciples to the risen Lord. We read that “Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide” (Genesis 24:63). Isaac would have a rough time today—he wouldn’t be able to get to the fields because of the automobiles and superhighways. If he did get there, he couldn’t meditate because modern Isaacs have lost the art. One thing is certain: “It is toward evening.” For some of us it has been a long time since life’s morning. It is toward evening as this poor delirious world hurtles on toward judgment at the end of the age. It has been a long time...

It has been a long time since my boyhood days in the country. My ministry has required living much on trains, in hotels, in crowded cities. I have escaped from the bedlam at every opportunity and have endeavored to find time and make a place to express that love of the outdoors which has meant so much to me in body, mind, and spirit. I have compromised on a city park when country woods were not available. I have resorted to various devices in order to be still and rest awhile. This modern age has conspired to steal from the soul of man the spirit of reflection and contemplation. One must put up a never-ceasing fight to maintain as much of...

This book is the closest Vance Havner ever came to writing an autobiography. It tells of his boyhood years spent in the hills of North Carolina, his conversion at ten years of age, the obtaining of a preaching license at twelve, and his ordination at fifteen. Brief accounts are given of his high school and Bible college years, along with a brief history of early pastorates and evangelistic travels. In his usual forthright manner he tells about his short dalliance with modernism and his subsequent return to the old-time gospel message. “My preaching was of the ‘repent as it were and believe in a measure or you’ll be lost to some extent’...

THE last word of our Lord to the church is not the Great Commission. The Great Commission is indeed our program to the end of the age, but our Lord’s last word to the church is “Repent.” That was his command to five out of seven of the churches in Asia, and that proportion still holds. Five out of seven Christians and churches today need first of all to repent.Today there is plenty of religious interest, a wave of mass evangelism, and all kinds of church activities. But none of these add up to real revival in the church. The messages in this book are meant to exhort both individual Christians and the church at large to take our Lord’s...

Peace in the Valley by Vance Havner -9%

KP54
The thrill of a new bird song ... the serene benediction of a quiet sundown ... an hour of reflection by a woodland stream. These are the elements of refreshing spiritual retreat to which this book joyously summons. With characteristic charm and challenge, Vance Havner here extols in fifty inspirational readings the unchanging wonders of God in nature – the kind of pastoral tranquility which sharply contrasts with the turbulent tempo of everyday life. “We have labored to enter into rest, but we cannot rest,” these devotional messages briskly remind. “If we do not know rest within, we will never find it without.” It is such essential inner...

KP47
The author calls this little book a “sheaf of mediations,” the kind of brief meditative essays that gained him such a wide circle of readers. As always, there are plenty of nuggets of wisdom scattered through these pages. Havner says in the foreword (speaking of himself in the third person): “These reflections have been sweet to him and he trusts they will be so to others. He has made himself be still now and then to write such things for his own soul’s good. May it help some others to ‘prime their pumps!’ But, better still, may it point us to him in whom, if we abide, we shall never thirst but ever receive and ever overflow.” The last...

Though I Walk Through the Valley by Vance Havner -9%

KP30
The year 1973 marked a very low point in the life of Vance Havner, America’s most quoted preacher. It was the year his beloved wife and companion of thirty-three years was struck down by a fatal and dreaded disease which distorted her lovely features and rendered her a helpless invalid. She departed this life to be forever with the Lord on September 2, 1973. Though I Walk Through the Valley is the chronicle of Vance Havner’s passage through the darkest valley of his life, the record of how his faith in God triumphed in the crucible of suffering and bereavement. Don’t expect these pages to be filled with time-worn clichés or pat...

If you’ve never read Vance Havner’s writings, I can’t think of a better place to start than this little volume of short devotionals. Every page is vintage Havner. In his foreword, Dennis Hester writes, “These brief meditations are powerful, Bible-centered truths written in the same witty and prophetic style for which Havner is loved and known.” He continues: “ Consider Jesus is filled with Havner’s priceless wit and practical wisdom. The author takes time to reflect on his walking and talking with God. Havner’s love for nature, his devotion to Jesus Christ, and his ability to apply eternal truths to everyday living are refreshing,...

As with all other books from the pen of Vance Havner, Living in Kingdom Come is full of timeless truth and spiritual direction for pilgrims on their way to the heavenly city. In a chapter entitled “Living in Kingdom Come,” from which the book gets its name, he writes: The Christian moves through the kingdom of this world as a citizen of the kingdom of God. He is not a citizen of earth trying to get to heaven, but a citizen of heaven making his way through this world. He belongs to what Peter calls “an holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9), the only Christian nation on earth, a nation within the nations. He sees everything in the light of...

George Sweeting says Vance Havner “has traveled the length and breadth of America, calling our nation to repentance and faith. At the age of twelve he began to preach in the hill country of North Carolina and has preached well over 13,000 sermons since then. The heart of his ministry is revival. Courageously he speaks to our age, convicting our hearts, revealing our sins, and pointing to Jesus Christ as the only remedy. Havner says, ‘The tragedy of the hour is that the situation is desperate, but the saints are not. If they were, we would have revival.’ Thousands of students and Christian workers have been revived and recharged through...

According to well-known pastor and writer Michael Catt, this book is “Vance Havner at his best.” The messages contained here were preached in special meetings and Bible conferences across the country. Wherever he went, Havner focused on stirring revival fires in the hearts of God’s people; and through the pages of his many books, his revivalist message and influence are still felt. “We are living in a land which has been graciously blessed of God,” he writes, “but it is now sinking into paganism. The last days and the perilous times have come. Any man who can hold an open Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other...

The Secret of Christian Joy by Vance Havner -9%

KP24
The church suffers today from a saddening lack of old-fashioned, simple-hearted, overflowing, Christian joy. We have plenty of knowledge, plenty of enthusiasm and denominational zeal, but Christians and churches that started out in revival fires are living in the smoke, and the “amens” and “hallelujahs” have gone from most assemblies of the saints. When one recalls that we are to rejoice in the Lord always – and then looks in on the average Sunday congregation, he realizes that something has happened to us since Pentecost. We meet on the Lord’s day more as though we had assembled to mourn a defeat than to celebrate a victory. Although...

This is another incredible book from "America's most quoted preacher." Here is what the author says in his introduction: As a country preacher in the lowlands of eastern Carolina I lived literally by still waters. Here is a serene retreat for him who cares to live a day at a time with leisure to “linger, list, and dream.” For one who easily grows tired of modernity’s mad masquerade it is pleasant to return to these tranquil lowlands. Is it not significant that most of the men of God in the Bible knew best the fields, the pastures, the woods, and waterways? Abel, the keeper of sheep; Abraham, Joseph, Moses, learning their deepest lessons...

In the awful confusion of these tragic days, many dear souls are weary of the torrent of words to no profit – stacks of books by blind leaders of the blind and panaceas from experts who do not know what the question is, much less the answer. They long to press through the throng to Christ himself and touch him for themselves. It is our hope and prayer that these meditations may help any and all who would see no man, but JESUS ONLY. There is only one safe and sure center of Christian experience, doctrine, and testimony and that is Jesus Christ. Stand at any other point, no matter how good, and you will become lopsided.

Here is a key to Christian conduct and belief in times like these—times when we are seeing the disintegration of the church and of moral standards, the destruction of America, the dynamics of “trendism,” and the dangers of departed power. Vance Havner issues a call to Christians, clear and loud, for real repentance, for confession and forsaking of sin, for separation from the world, for submission to the Lordship of Christ, and the filling of the Holy Spirit. His challenging summons is for daring, fearless prophets who will call the nation to repentance and for church members who will stand up and be counted with Jesus Christ. Then and...

Throughout our lifetimes we are continually compelled to make impor­tant decisions. To choose life partners, vocations, lifestyles, churches, and even friends, we often seek the advice of others. Vance Havner encourages us to look to the wisest counsel of all—the Bible. In Moments of Decision, Havner presents sixteen revealing examples of choices, both good and bad, made in the Scriptures. He relates them practically and succinctly to the life-changing decisions that must be made today. With tremendous insight he shows how Lot's decision to live in Sodom lends advice for choosing apart from the corrupt influences of wealth; how...

Vance Havner was a unique servant of God whose spoken ministry spanned over seventy years and whose written ministry extended to almost forty books. Dr. Havner was fond of saying that the preacher's job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, and you will find plenty of both in these pages. Warren Wiersbe once said, “Vance Havner is imitated but he will never be duplicated." Michael Catt, Pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, concurs: “There was no one like Vance Havner. His preaching style was unique, powerful, and pointed. He was a master at turning a phrase, using humor to set up a point, and...
