The Everlasting Righteousness (Horatius Bonar)
$9.75$11.00
From an author best known for his marvelous and God-exalting hymns comes this remarkable work about justification by faith alone, dealing with the all-important question of “How shall a man be right with God?”
It is ‘believing’ from first to last. We begin, we go on, we end in faith. The faith that justifies is the faith that overcomes. By faith we obtain the ‘good report’ both with God and man. By faith we receive forgiveness; by faith we live; by faith we work, and endure, and suffer; by faith we win the crown, – a crown of righteousness, which shall be ours in the day of the appearing of Him who is our righteousness. Horatius Bonar is best remembered for his hymns, but he was also a leading author and his Everlasting Righteousness remains one of the finest and most uplifting treatments of truths which have changed nations and centuries.

A review by Tony Reinke
“Written in 1874 and republished by The Banner of Truth in 1993, The Everlasting Righteousness stands (in my opinion) as the greatest book on the importance of the Cross and our imputed righteousness. It is clear, concise, devotional and beautifully written. If you are looking for a readable book that exalts the Cross-centered life, relishes in the righteousness found only in the substitution of the Lamb, and magnifies the worth and beauty of Christ, turn to a talented hymn writer. Horatius Bonar has given us a clear book of great value on the central doctrine of the church. His poetic style will warm the heart after multiple readings and his clarity will equip the preacher with a lifetime of precious quotes.”

About the AuthorÂ
Dr. Horatius Bonar (1808-89) is perhaps best-known today for his hymns, such as ‘I heard the voice of Jesus say’, ‘Thy way, not mine, O Lord’, and the communion hymn ‘Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face’. An older brother of Andrew A. Bonar, he was educated at Edinburgh High School and the University, where he was much influenced by Thomas Chalmers.
After mission work in Leith, he was ordained as parish minister in Kelso in 1837, where he remained (after the 1843 Disruption and the formation of the Free Church) until 1867, when he was called to Chalmers Memorial Free Church in Edinburgh. He received a DD from the University of Aberdeen in 1853, and was Moderator of the Free Church Assembly in 1883. Influenced by Edward Irving, Bonar’s pre-millennial convictions regarding the Lord’s return were a feature of much of his ministry. He also wrote several excellent biographies, including the well-known John Milne of Perth.Â

Justification Vindicated (Robert Traill)
$6.25A spirited defense of the doctrine and truth of Justification by Faith Alone from a Puritan writing during “The Killing Times”, when Scottish Protestants were being slaughtered. Traill demonstrates how false the charges of Antinomianism and lawlessness are against this truth and showing that faith alone is the only door by which sinners may enter the presence of the holy God.
Can sinners really be justified before God by faith alone? If so, can they go on to live as they please? Robert Traill suffered persecution, exile and prison for faithfulness to the gospel. He shows here, in Justification Vindicated, with rare clarity and grace, that only justification by faith alone, shows sinners the way to a holy God, makes them a holy and obedient people, gives them joyful assurance of acceptance with God.

The Doctrine of Justification (James Buchanan)
$27.50“This is the classic work on this cardinal doctrine by which a church stands or falls. After lucidly covering the historical development of the doctrine through the Old Testament, the apostolic age, the scholastic divines, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and in the Church of England, Buchanan expounds the doctrine itself by covering the scriptural meaning of the term, its relation to the law and justice of God, its relation to the mediatorial work of Christ, its relation to grace and works, and more.
The chapter on justification in relation to the work of the Holy Spirit is alone worth the price of the book. Includes a new preface dealing with the New Perspective. If you can only afford to read one book on justification, read this definitive work.” – Joel R. Beeke

Looking Unto Jesus (Isaac Ambrose)
$32.00Looking Unto Jesus is a jewel of a volume that explains how the Lord Jesus Christ brings to pass every aspect of the great work of man’s salvation, from first to last. And shows us the sheer joy we can have in knowing that!
We have all heard before that we must turn our eyes away from everything that diverts our sight from “looking unto Jesus”. Why? Well, most plainly, because we cannot fix our eyes on Christ, and other things, at the same time. The eyes cannot look upwards and downwards at once in a direct line. We cannot seriously set our minds on heaven and earth in one thought. Put simply, “No man can serve two masters”, is how Jesus said it (Matt 6:24).
Because, while we look on earthly things, we cannot see the beauty that is in Christ. Indeed, beauty is the attraction of the soul, the soul must see a beauty in that which it desires. But our longing looks after other things diminishes the desirability of Christ in our eyes.
