306ppA practical guide to a key New Testament book, in which the Apostle Paul teaches how the gospel must shape the believer's life-style and relationships both in the church and the community. A welcome help to those facing unrelenting pressure from a godless environment and sin's continuing deceitfulness. Corinth was a confident, modern and self-assured city, proud of its image and thoroughly pagan. It was a miracle of God's grace that the seed of the gospel had taken strong root in such potentially hostile soil. But the young and tender plant was in grave danger of being choked by the suffo...

Dr. Wilbur Smith writes: "I suppose nothing on the prayer of Daniel, occupying most of the ninth chapter of his prophecy, has ever been written so rich and deep and comprehensive as the 17,000 words which Calvin devotes to the sixteen verses of this marvellous outpouring of the heart of the ancient prophet." - Publisher View More...
167ppA Heavenly Conference is Richard Sibbes? exposition of the memorable meeting that took place on the first Easter Sunday when the risen Christ met Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb. Though only a few words were exchanged between the Lord and Mary, Sibbes saw in them the gospel in a nutshell. A Heavenly Conference is a wonderfully original treatment of the doctrine of the believer?s union with Christ. It is written by a loving and tender-hearted pastor whose main aim is to help believers enjoy the comfort that comes from knowing that Jesus? God and Father is our God and Father too. ?For fro...

328ppThis is the second in a series of volumes which bring together much of Dr Lloyd-Jones? evangelistic preaching from the Acts of the Apostles. It covers texts from chapters 4 and 5 in the book which, he claimed, presented ?authentic Christianity and nothing else.? The first volume in the series was enthusiastically received. The following comment is representative: The aim of the book is to bring us back to the basics of the Christian faith. The style is crystal clear. The content is thoroughly evangelistic. The glory of the gospel shines on every page. I thoroughly commend it; truly Dr L... View More...

Dimensions: 145 x 210 x 9 mm Weight: 0.152 kilos Pages: 112 How we understand ourselves and life in this world is inexorably linked to how we understand God. Knowing ourselves and understanding the world in which we live is something about which we are all concerned. Augustine confessed to God, 'I could not find myself, much less find you.' Sixties' folk singer Joni Mitchell sang 'I've looked at life from both sides now' but lamented 'I really don't know life at all.' In this contemporary look at the book of Ecclesiastes, Peter Barnes takes up these issues. Life is examined honestly and perce... View More...
87ppCommunicating the faith to children is one of the great responsibilities of Christian parents. In this book, Terry Johnson, a father as well as a pastor, shows how the Shorter Catechism can be of great help to parents facing this vital task. Many generations of Christian parents have found the Westminster Shorter Catechism to be one of the most effective ways of raising their children in the ?discipline and instruction of the Lord? (Eph. 6:4); for not only does it provide a clear explanation of the gospel, but it is still one of the best introductions to the most important doctrines of th... View More...
368ppFew Christian leaders since the Reformation have been as gifted as Jonathan Edwards. A man of intense personal devotion to Christ, he was a leader of revival, and a creative Reformed theologian as well as being a missionary and a philosopher fully meriting Hugh Martin?s description of him as ?that greatest of metaphysical divines?. Yet it is likely that he would have preferred to be remembered simply as ?pastor of the Church of Northampton?. Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions), Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his r... View More...
First Peter 5:8-11 is a most important portion of Scripture that warns Christians to be ever vigilant because of their enemy the devil. He is said to be like a 'roaring lion', prowling around seeking someone to devour. This book is a practical exposition of the Apostle Peter's words written by an experienced pastor. Its aim is to inform Christians of their duty in reference to their 'great enemy' and to encourage them to resist him while standing firm in the faith. - Publisher View More...
Not every day does an autobiography appear from a man in his 100th year, but all who know Douglas Higgins never saw him as belonging to the ordinary. From astronomy to Christ at the age of twenty-two, then Art College at Sheffield, war service in the RAF, and a career in school teaching these were but parts of a life of progressive enthusiasm. By the truth of Scripture, he says, we are 'led into true happiness here and glory to come'. Such happiness he lived to spread, and it gives these pages an attraction which can be felt. - Publisher View More...
294ppWhat makes an effective leader? Ernest Kevan certainly fitted into that category, but he did not have the charismatic personality that is so often associated with success in this sphere. What he did have was the ability to influence. His enthusiasm for Puritan and Reformed theology moulded the thinking of many young pastors beginning work in British churches in the post-war years. In many ways he was a pioneer, and in some ways an anomaly ? that a Baptist pastor who entered the ministry with no formal training should become the first principal of a new and innovative Bible college is test...

175ppIn London in the 1950s Martyn Lloyd-Jones gave a new meaning to ?conferences?. For him they were not times for learned discussion, or for the reading of papers, but a means of awakening a younger generation to big spiritual issues. From such gatherings, preachers, in particular, would carry fire back to their churches. Following his mentor?s model, Iain Murray has sought, with others, to continue that practice. These pages are a selection of his more recent addresses and include: Evangelical Holiness and Spirituality; The Attack on the Bible; Apostasy; The Benefits and ... View More...
30ppWhat should we do when our experience seems to clash with our theology when what we know about the character of God and how he acts is contradicted by our experience of the harsh realities of life? This is not a new situation, but one that believers have found themselves in down through the centuries. It was also the experience of Asaph, the author of Psalm 73. In Faith Seeking Understanding Iain D. Campbell takes us on a journey through this wonderful psalm. He traces Asaph's attempts to make sense of his experience using his own rational powers, and shows us how fresh understanding ca... View More...
40ppJustification. Just another piece of theological jargon, or a vital teaching which may be compared to the very door by which the Christian faith is entered? Picture the scene: Almighty God, the perfectly just Judge, is seated in his great High Court of Justice. The Christian believer, trusting in Christ, stands before him. The sentence is passed; the gavel bangs down ? ?NOT GUILTY!? How this verdict is reached touches the very heart of the gospel message, and shows the amazing extent of the grace that God has shown to us by sending his Son to take the punishment for our sin. Do you want... View More...
THE BIBLE Why should we believe?as Jesus did?that it is ?the mouth of God?? When did it come into existence? Is it inerrant? What do we need to learn in order to understand it better? How does its teaching change our lives? In From the Mouth of God, Sinclair B Ferguson answers these and other important questions about trusting, reading, and applying the Bible.

134ppIt has been said that 2 Corinthians 1:4 deserves to be written in letters of gold for it is one of the hardest and noblest works in all Christianity to be able to bring divine comfort to others in trouble; and yet by sufferings God fits and prepares his people for this noble and difficult service. Theodore L. Cuyler was thus divinely fitted for the great task of comforting God?s suffering people. Fourteen years after losing two of his children in their infancy, this one-time pastor of Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, New York, lost a daughter at the age of twenty-one. In t...

144ppThis book concerns both the most popular and the most unpopular of all Christian teachings- heaven on the one hand, and hell on the other. Yet the two belong together, and the Bible, and Christian teaching through the ages, have always done what Ted Donnelly does in this series of addresses- held the two together, and not allowed either reality to be emphasized to the neglect of the other. In this outstanding work, Donnelly first paints in the sombre background of the biblical teaching on hell, so that we may be warned to flee from it, and so that the glorious reality of heaven may shine ...

432ppThis book traces the story of the English Calvinistic Baptists from the death of John Gill in 1771 to that of Charles Haddon Spurgeon in 1892. It deals not only with the well-known digures in this community's history?theological giants like John Gill, Andrew Fuller, Wiliam Gadsby, and Charles Spurgeon?but also with lesser-known lights, men like the hymn writer Benjamin Beddome, the eccentric John Collett Ryland, Abraham Booth, and John Stevens. 'Wide and deep reading in the writings of these men has given Dr. Robert Oliver an excellent grasp of thier various theological perspectives...a..... View More...
198pp 8.4 x 5.4 x 0.6 inchesEvery Christian needs to understand Hebrews. If they do not, they will misunderstand the Old Testament and will also fail to fully appreciate what the Lord Jesus Christ has done, what he is doing now, and what he is going to do in the future. As a result, they will remain spiritually stunted. Over the years, plenty of books have been written to explain Hebrews, but only a few of them have had ordinary Christians in mind. Some of them are so large and so complicated that they appear to be the last word. Experts enjoy books like these, but everybody else is left bew... View More...

8.5 x 5.7 x 1 inches 246ppThrough more than forty years, John MacArthur has opened and taught the Word of God in one local congregation, Grace Community Church, Los Angeles. Consequences have followed which no one anticipated, and which the preacher attributes to the sovereign hand of God. A people united to Christ, and to their pastor, became a channel for blessing across the earth. It has been a ministry marked by characteristics that re-appear in every spiritual advance - not concern for relevance not special attractions for young or old, male or female; but love for God and dependence on h...
