  • God’s Battle Plan for the Mind (David Saxton)

    Pastor David Saxton seeks to convince God’s people of the absolute necessity for personal meditation and motivate them to begin this work themselves. But he has not done this alone. Rather, he has labored through numerous Puritan works in order to bring together the best of their insights on meditation.

    Standing on the shoulders of these giants, Saxton teaches us how to meditate on divine truth and gives valuable guidance about how to rightly pattern our thinking throughout the day. With the rich experiential theology of the Puritans, this book lays out a course for enjoying true meditation on God’s Word.

  • Strange New World (Carl Trueman)

    From Philosophy to Technology, Tracing the Origin of Identity Politics

    How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.”

    Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and personal identity.

  • Repent and Believe: Pocket Puritans series (Thomas Brooks)

  • Wanted: the World (Trevor Johnson)

    The Well-Meant Offer of the Gospel from a Missionary’s Perspective

    The Puritan evangelist Richard Alleine once wrote the following of the sincere love of God and His desire for the salvation of all who hear the invitation of the gospel:

    “I tell you again, I wish you well; and not only I, but the Lord God that hath sent me to you: The Lord Jesus wishes you well; he wishes and wooes, wooes and weeps, weeps and dies, that your Souls might live, and be blessed for ever: He hath once more sent me to you, even to the worst amongst you, to tell you from him, that he’s unwilling you should perish; that he hath a kindness for you in his heart, if you will accept it…”

    In this short volume, missionary Trevor Johnson defends this same view, that God desires the salvation, in some fashion, of all men, and that this gospel is a true and sincere appeal and invitation.

    Johnson writes as one who fully affirms the absolute sovereignty of God, the Five Points of Calvinism, and even the judicial hatred of God for unrepentant sinners, and yet is troubled by a growing trend among some Calvinists to deny the sincere and well-meant offer of the gospel.

    Johnson affirms that if someone asks you this query from a tortured soul, “Do you believe that God really wants to save even me?” that you can answer most assuredly, “Yes! God would have you to be saved and would rejoice over your salvation even now!”

    We mirror the very heart of God when we love souls and desire their salvation.

  • Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots – paperback (J. C. Ryle)

    “This book is simply the best of Ryle, the Puritan-type pastor. Real Christians will find it a gold mine, a feast, a spur and a heart-warmer, food, drink, medicine, and a course of vitamins, all in one.” — J. I. Packer

    Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots is perhaps J. C. Ryle’s best-known and best-loved book. Although many things have changed since 1877, when it was first published, one thing remains the same: ‘real practical holiness does not receive the attention it deserves.’  It was to remedy this and to counter false teaching on this most important subject, that Ryle took up his pen.

    The 21 chapters in this enlarged edition highlight:

    • the real nature of holiness
    • the temptations and difficulties which all must expect who pursue it
    • the life-transforming truth that union with Christ is the root of holiness
    • the immense encouragement Jesus Christ holds out to all who strive to be holy.

    Holiness, as with all of Ryle’s works, is clear and concise, penetrating and practical.

  • Church Membership: How the World Knows who Represents Jesus (Jonathan Leeman & Michael Horton)

    Jonathan Leeman addresses the commonly asked question – one which is rarely answered well – of: “Why should I join a church?” Many genuine believers live in habits of nearly shunning any practice of joining, which to them smacks of ‘organized religion’. By offering a brief, straightforward explanation of what church membership is and why it’s important, Leeman gives the local church its proper due and builds a case for committing to the local body.

    Church Membership is a useful tool for churches to distribute to new and potential members of their congregation. This volume is part of the 9Marks: Building Healthy Churches series. Look for upcoming, quick-read formats of the following marks of a healthy church: expositional preaching, biblical theology, the gospel, conversion, evangelism, church discipline, discipleship and growth, and church leadership.

  • Seasons of Waiting: Walking by Faith When Dreams are Delayed (Betsy Childs Howard)

    We’re all waiting for something.

    It might be a spouse or a baby. It might be healing or a home. Regardless of what we’re waiting for, it’s easy to feel discontent when things aren’t going as planned and our dreams are delayed—especially when questions of “Why?” and “How long?” remain unanswered.

    God uses seasons of waiting to teach us patience and make us more like himself. But sanctification is not the only purpose God has in mind. When we wait faithfully with unmet longings, we become a powerful picture of the bride of Christ waiting for the day when he returns and God’s kingdom reigns.

  • Just Do Something: A Liberating Approach to Finding God’s Will (Kevin DeYoung)

    Settle down – make a choice – and do the hard work of seeing that choice through. This is Kevin DeYoung’s counsel for Christians – for so often, he writes, God’s people tinker around with churches, jobs, relationships, worrying that they haven’t yet found God’s “perfect will” for their lives. Or, even worse, they get paralyzed and do nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of indecision, while they wait, wait, wait…for some sort of sign of clear, unmistakable direction.

    Is this the way we’re meant to find the will of God for our lives? God doesn’t need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He’s already revealed so much about His plan for our lives: we’re to love Him with our whole heart, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like. There’s no need for hocus-pocus, no need to remain “directionally challenged” – no reason to wait for dreams, visions, fleeces, impressions, open doors, random Bible verses, casting lots, liver shivers or writing in the skies: just do something obedient to God’s Word and seek His blessing on it.

  • Believers’ Evidences for Eternal Life (Francis Roberts)

    We have all experienced it: that moment when Satan whispers in your ear, “You aren’t really a true Christian or you wouldn’t think or behave like that.” It is one of our enemy’s most effective tactics to spread uncertainty and render God’s people ineffective with self-doubt.

    But how do we know we are a Christian? Roberts writes, “to be in a gracious state is true happiness. But to know ourselves to be in such a state is true happiness doubled upon us.” Roberts book will lend some help to Christians to discern their spiritual state and make your election and calling sure (2 Pet 1:10).

    Looking Unto Jesus (Isaac Ambrose)

    Looking 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.

  • A Guide to Prayer (Isaac Watts)

    In this valuable work, Isaac Watts shows what prayer is and helps us to make better use of the glorious privilege given to all Christians of conversing with our Father – as he wrote: “Prayer is the conversation which God allows us to maintain with Himself above, while we are here below, in which the soul of a saint often gets near to God, experiences great delight, and as it were, dwells with his heavenly Father for a short time before he comes to heaven.”

    In a thoroughgoing study, Watts covers invocation, adoration, confession, petition, pleading, profession (or self-dedication), thanksgiving, blessing, and more. He describes in vivid and persuasive terms what a gift prayer is, how to express ourselves in prayer, even down to details like gesture and voice, and the help of the Spirit in prayer.

  • From Pride to Humility (Stuart Scott)

    God has given us a model of humility in the person of Jesus Christ. His most stunning attribute is that of humility; in light of that, the most stunning sin of ours is pride, and certainly the most detestable to God. Pride is a form of self-worship, but often appears in our lives in the most subtle ways.

    This little volume will show you numerous ways in which pride may break out in your life, but also suggests how we might pursue humility with the help of the Holy Spirit.

  • Heaven on Earth: A Treatise on Christian Assurance (Thomas Brooks) (#2)

    One of the most important books about the subject of Christian assurance ever put into print. Having a healthy and well-founded assurance of being “in Christ” is vital to strong Christian growth and experience. There is no higher privilege than to be a child of God and to *know* that you are! — for a strong assurance brings, along with it, joy and peace in believing, strength and boldness in our witness.

    This abundantly clear and valuable work, first published in 1654, still reads today like a pastor conversing with his friend.
