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.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke Vol. 1 (J. C. Ryle)
$20.99Ryle’s commentary on Luke was was a much more ‘substantial’ commentary than the earlier ones on Matthew and Mark, and comprehensive ‘explanatory notes’ were appended to the author’s ‘thoughts’ on each passage of Scripture. The purpose of the notes was four-fold:
1st, to ‘throw light on difficulties’ in the text
2nd, to provide literal meanings and comparative translations of certain of the Greek words used by Luke.
3rd, to quote what other ‘approved writers’ had said on particular passages.
4th, to use Scripture to ‘combat existing false doctrines and heresies’. Because of this, the Expository Thoughts on Luke were – and are in this new edition – presented in two volumes, the first covering Luke chapters 1-10, the second chapters 11-24.$25.00 -

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.

Ephesians (Charles Hodge)
$22.00The great virtue of Hodge on Ephesians is his ability constantly to communicate the sense and overall argument of a passage. A peerless teacher, his aim, with the pen as in the classroom, was ‘the simple exhibition of the truth which God had revealed’- his own description of Paul’s preaching.
One of the outstanding Geneva Series commentaries.
“Hodge is most valuable. With no writer do we more fully agree.” — Charles H. Spurgeon

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.

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.
