1 John (Robert Candlish)
$29.00Robert Candlish’s exposition of 1 John, in the Geneva Series of Commentaries, was the ripe fruit of years of careful and delighted study of the great themes in the teaching of the Apostle John. The reader will easily notice the vivid joy Candlish takes in this epistle.
His aim was not so much to produce a detailed technical commentary after the fashion of much exegesis in the new German tradition, but to set on display the treasures of John’s letter. Says Candlish, ‘It can be studied aright exegetically, only when it is studied theologically.’ His driving purpose, like that of the apostle, is to see truth and joyful assurance born and brought to maturity in the hearts of his readers. The multi-faceted privileges of fellowship with the Father and the Son through the Spirit are constantly brought to the fore.

A Commentary on Galatians (Tom Nettles and Sylvia Nettles Dickson)
$12.50The driving theme of the book of Galatians is the glory of Christ—the glory of his perfect obedience to all the requirements of God’s law. Driven by unbreakable certainty in his calling as a herald of divine truth to the churches in Galatia, the apostle Paul fearlessly declares that Jesus Christ alone saves. The joyous life that might be found through obedience to the law has been taken away by human sinfulness—only Jesus has kept every positive requirement of the law and has even suffered its curse. The result is that union with Christ by faith is the triune God’s provision for sinners to be declared right by him—the Father calls; the Son saves; the Spirit draws.

The Message of James (Alec Motyer)
$14.95As a good communicator, The Apostle James addressed his readers directly and pointedly with vivid images from ordinary life and attention-gripping statements. 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.

Romans (Robert Haldane)
$34.00‘Dr. Chalmers styled this “a well-built commentary”, and strongly recommended it to students of theology. In his “Sabbath Readings” he writes: “I am reading Haldane’s Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans, and find it solid and congenial food.”‘ — C. H. Spurgeon
Robert Haldane’s Exposition of Romans, both in its contents and in the power of its influence, stands among the foremost of the many treatments of the epistle. As a commentary, Thomas Chalmers ‘strongly recommended’ it; Spurgeon put it in the front rank, and more recently, Martyn Lloyd-Jones owed ‘much profit and pleasure’ to it, characterizing its contents as unsurpassed in ‘warmth of spirit’ and ‘practical application’.

The Narrow Way: Examining Both Heaven and Hell and the Message of Eternal Salvation in Jesus Christ (William Nichols)
$7.50Is there a heaven? If so, what is like? And is hell real? Are there actually many people going to hell after they die? And is what Jesus Christ taught about these topics more or less what is taught in most churches today, or have we strayed from that?
The author’s conviction is that many who profess to be Christians are sadly quite deceived about where they are headed after death, and he desires to prevent his readers from being one of them.
If Christ is the only way to know, it is vital that we know how to seek Him on His terms, not those of our own imagination.

The Glory of Christ (R. C. Sproul)
$12.50Could anything possibly elevate our hearts more than taking time to contemplate the glory of God and His Son? Christ and His glory are the object of our adoration. But during His life and ministry in this world, Jesus experienced humiliation, suffering: yet these barely veiled His glory, and in some ways, made is appear more splendid.

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’.

Genesis (John Calvin)
$39.00Because Calvin was a sound exegete, little of what he wrote is dated. In Genesis, although his treatment of the early chapters is thorough, it is not disproportionate, and the later narratives concerning Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph are not passed over hastily. Indeed, Calvin excels in bringing out the principles of God’s dealings with men, as individuals and in covenant, and in showing faithfully, yet tenderly, the human weakness and sin all too evident in Genesis.

“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.
