The Message of James (Alec Motyer)

Alec Motyer’s rich exposition brings James’s letter to life for today’s reader. Motyer is himself gripped by James’s energy and concern for practical Christianity.
The letter shows how a genuine faith is a tested faith, how encounter with difficulties is an essential part of the growth to Christian maturity this book powerfully brings out James’s memorable themes–the link between enduring trials and maturity; the question of perfection; the good gifts of God; faith, works and Christian concern in a world of human need; the implications of careless and evil words; the meaning of war; the church and healing; confession of sin; and the need for active purity in life.

Hebrews (John Brown)
$32.00Commentaries generally belong to one of two categories. Either they aim at a devotional thoroughness which lays no great emphasis on the exact meaning of individual words, or they concentrate on such a detailed examination of the text that the spirit and power of the book is largely lost. Among the few commentators who stand between these two positions is Dr. John Brown of Edinburgh (1784-1858).
By seeking to develop a style of exposition that was both edifying to his congregation and valuable to his divinity students, he produced commentaries which, in the words of Dr. William Cunningham, ‘formed a marked era in the history of Scriptural Interpretation’. Not behind the foremost contemporary scholars in his emphasis on correct exegesis, he nevertheless sought not only that the minds of his readers might be brought ‘into immediate contact with the mind of the Spirit’ but that their whole being might be resigned to ‘the empire of the Word of God’.

Victory in Jesus: A Devotional Commentary on the Book of Revelation (Donald R. Johnson)
$19.95The book of Revelation is one of the most encouraging and devotional books in the Bible, but sadly, it is one of the most neglected and misunderstood as well. Though there are many good commentaries that help us to understand its message, there are few that capture the devotional nature of the book. And this is unfortunate, as the book of Revelation is not properly understood or appreciated without the engagement of our minds and hearts. One of the central objectives of John is to lead us to admiration and awe. Above all else, it is meant to show us to Christ. With this in mind, Victory in Jesus not only brings light to many of the mysterious symbols of the cosmic drama depicted within the book, it captures its devotional nature by lifting our hearts to worship its leading character— the Lamb who was slain but now risen, who is worthy of all our praise.

Our God (Octavius Winslow)
$12.50Octavius Winslow, without question, is one of the most refreshing and spiritually stirring authors to ever live. His writings provoke hunger after God and His Word like few men ever could. His majestic work on Our God is finally back in print.
In Our God, Octavius Winslow examines several of the perfections of God revealed to us in Scripture. Rather than advancing a comprehensive study on the attributes of God, Winslow limits his discussion to some of the moral perfections of God, such as His love, patience, comfort, and grace.

Galatians: A Geneva Series Commentary (John Brown)
$30.00The expositions of John Brown (1784-1858) are unusually helpful to all kinds of readers. Spurgeon said in his Commenting and Commentaries, “Brown is a modern Puritan of the utmost value. The volume on Galatians is one of the scarcest books in the market.”
As a theological professor, Brown was strongly convinced that his students’ view should be ‘not only consistent with, but derived from a careful exegesis of the ‘words which the Holy Ghost teacheth’…it has been my sincere desire to bring out of the inspired words what is really in them, and to put nothing into them that is not really there.’  But as the pastor of a congregation, Brown was also anxious that his expositions should edify all Christians and not only instruct students. As a result his commentaries are unusually helpful to all kinds of readers.

“From what I have seen, this is so far the best side-by-side reading companion you can have for the gospels.” — Pastor Steve Martin, Heritage Church, Fayetteville, GA
About the Author
In 1841, Ryle was ordained as a minister in the Church of England. In his first position in a rural parish he developed the plain and direct style of communication that would mark his future ministry. He served at several churches for the next forty years, during which time he wrote hundreds of evangelistic tracts. He was a wildly popular writer. His tracts sold more than 12 million copies in his lifetime, and were eventually translated into about a dozen European and Asian languages.
While his ministry flourished, Ryle’s home life was challenging. In 1844, he married his first wife, who died in 1847. He married again in 1849. The couple was happy, but his wife’s health was poor, so the pastor seldom travelled and practically raised his children alone. When his second wife died in 1860, he became a single father with five children between 2 and 14 years old.
Despite these hardships, Ryle became a leader among the evangelical clergy in his day. In 1880, he was appointed the first bishop of the newly formed diocese of Liverpool. Because the diocese was new, it had no system of leadership, no formal administration. During his tenure as Bishop of Liverpool, Ryle raised enough funds to build 90 new houses of worship, ordained over 500 deacons, 500 ministers, and at least 45 salaried lay Scripture readers and 31 Bible women. He founded the Lay Helpers Association, an organization that oversaw Sunday schools, Bible classes, mission services, and cared for sick.
