The Spirit and the Church
How do Christians come to the certainty that the Bible is the Word of God, and gain an understanding of His mind and will from it? How do they acquire the ability to pray, and lead others in prayer? how are they comforted and supported in all the difficulties they meet? And how can the church be led, taught and guided aright, when Christ is not here on earth?
According to the great Puritan leader John Owen, the answer to all these questions is the same: by the gracious and powerful work of the Holy Spirit.
He it is who convinces, assures, teaches, comforts and equips the church and all its members for all the work they are called to do. In an age when many think Christianity is nothing more than human effort, based on fallible human conclusions, Owen calls the church back to divine certainty and divine resources.
The style in which the Puritans wrote can present difficulties for modern readers, but this updated abridgement of by Dr. R.J.K. Law of The Spirit and the Church will allow Owen to speak to Christians today on a theme which remains as vitally important for the well-being of the church in the twenty-first century as it was when Owen first wrote.

Apostasy from the Gospel (John Owen) (#21)
$8.00The subject of apostasy – that is, the study of what leads one who has professed faith in Christ to change his mind and return to living for the world of sin, is not on most people’s list of pleasant subjects to meditate upon.
The idea that one who confesses Christ may in time prove not to be a true Christian is too gloomy a prospect for many in our “positive-thinking” age. But it is a Biblical truth that requires some consideration, if only for the sake of watching guard over our own souls. Owen’s work, as usual, is a masterpiece of penetrating discernment to the very roots of the matter.
Now, in this updated English abridgement of John Owen’s Apostasy From the Gospel, Dr. R. J. K. Law makes its powerful teaching readily accessible to modern readers. Some will find its pages deeply soul-searching; others will be struck with the clarity of Owen’s insight; all will find a work which wounds in order to heal.
