John Bunyan and the Grace of Fearing God (Joel Beeke & Paul Smalley)
$11.50$14.99
He was the author of the best-selling Christian book of all time. His Bible-saturated works have inspired generations of believers all over the world. And yet, as influential as it is, John Bunyan’s theology contains a unifying thread that is sorely neglected in the modern church: the vital importance of the fear of God.
Fearing God is seen by many as psychologically harmful—at odds with belief in a God of love. But Bunyan knew personally that the only freedom from a guilty fear of God’s wrath is a joyful, childlike fear of his holiness. Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley guide us through Bunyan’s life before exploring his writings to illuminate the true grace of fearing God.

“We today need to read and treasure Bunyan. Beeke and Smalley take the reader through the core of Bunyan’s corpus and whet the reader’s appetite to plunge afresh into Bunyan’s works.”

A Holy Fear: Trading Lesser Fears for the Fear of the Lord (Christina Fox)
$10.75Fear—it’s something we all experience. Fears about the future, an illness, or what others might think about us can rule our hearts and steal our joy. Did you know, though, that the Bible commands Christians to fear?
Believers are to fear the Lord. But what does that mean? In A Holy Fear, Christina Fox unpacks what the “fear of the Lord” means and what it looks like in our lives. By giving examples of such fear in the Bible, exploring the fruits of that fear in our lives, and uncovering God’s promises to those who fear Him, this book will help you disarm your lesser fears, applying what you learn to your heart and turning to a fear of the Lord.

Don’t Scare the Children! Homeschooling and the Fear of the Lord (Dennis Gundersen)
$5.50“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”, the Proverbs tell us. And since our children start at the beginning, and we parents are with them from that beginning, it’s all too clear — they must learn the fear of the Lord from us. But most Christian parents have little idea how to impart this perspective on life to their children.
We want to raise children who trust and love God, and certainly not children who withdraw from Him in terror! So what exactly is this fear of the Lord? Dennis Gundersen shows how parents can make this a reality in life and raise children who learn to fear God – so they won’t be afraid of anything else!
