  • Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist (John Piper)

    Newest, updated and revised edition! Scripture reveals that the great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever. In this paradigm-shattering classic, newly revised and expanded, John Piper reveals that we should never talk as though our duty to God and our delight in God conflict; to delight in God is our duty.

    “This book profoundly influenced my life.” — Jerry Bridges

  • Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from All the Scriptures (Dennis E. Johnson)

    Challenging modern preachers to expound the Bible like Peter and Paul, Him We Proclaim makes the hermeneutical and historical case for a return to apostolic preaching—preaching that is Christ-centered, redemptive-historical, missiologically communicated, and grounded in grace. But moving beyond theory, this book provides examples of how this method applies to all Old and New Testament genres—history; law; psalm; prophecy; doctrine and exhortation.

  • The Call to Joy and Pain: Embracing Suffering in Your Ministry (Ajith Fernando)

    Joy and pain are both aspects of the call of God for the Christian. The Bible even presents pain as a source of our joy. Ajith Fernando’s book explores how this is so, showing the connection between rejoicing and suffering, how suffering draws us nearer to God, and how suffering makes us more effective in service.

    The author combines biblical exposition, keen pastoral insight, and cross-cultural wisdom in his writing. He opens reader’s eyes to a truth that we may already suspect is so: we in the West have much to learn about suffering.

    By examining Paul’s words on the subject of suffering for Christ from Colossians 1:24-29, Fernando Ajith (a native of Sri Lanka) thoughtfully explains how suffering can be a blessing to the individual Christian and to the church as a whole. His book will help Christians joyfully embrace the life of service and total devotion to Jesus, despite the pain it entails.

  • Wrestling With an Angel (Greg Lucas)

    “It sounded at first like something out of an old horror movie. I thought maybe someone was just playing around, but then I heard it again and again, a loud piercing cry, and less like Hollywood every time. The windows were down in my police cruiser on that warm fall day, but I still couldn’t tell where the sounds came from. I began looking around for the unlikely sight of someone being disemboweled in a mall parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Seeing nothing, and still hearing the screams, I called in a ‘disturbance.’ Around the next corner I found the source of the commotion.”

    So begins Greg Lucas’ captivating account of life as a husband, a police officer, and Jake’s dad. Jake Lucas, the first of four children, lives with severe physical and mental challenges. Caring for him each day is an ordeal few of us can imagine, and this story of Jake’s first 17 years is not one you will soon forget. But the remarkable thing is how the whole narrative is saturated with wonder at the grace and goodness of God, who brings hope and promise through his Son into the darkest of circumstances

  • Children of the Living God (Sinclair B. Ferguson)

    Jesus Christ taught his disciples to call God ‘Our Father’, and to live as members of his family. Although simple enough for every Christian to understand this is also so profound that its implications take a lifetime and more to explore fully.

    Yet, despite Christ’s words and example, Christians have frequently ignored or forgotten his teaching. In these pages, Sinclair B. Ferguson reminds us of its importance.

    Children of the Living God takes as its starting point the wise and thought-provoking question of an old writer: ‘If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will?’. It underlines that we were created for joyful fellowship with God, and explains how we enter his family by new birth and adoption. Its chapters show how the Spirit of sonship, Christian freedom, divine discipline, prayer and the sacraments all contribute to our experience of the love the Father has for his children.

  • The Afflicted Man’s Companion: A Directory for Persons and Families Afflicted with Sickness or any Other Distress (John Willison)

    Written with the kind intention (according to the author) “that the afflicted may have a book in their houses, and at their bed-sides, as a monitor to preach to them in private, when they are restrained from hearing sermons in public.” Originally published in 1737, it has been revised and reprinted numerous times in the 19th century by the American Tract Society.

    As much as Job’s companions were miserable comforters, this volume is one that would have been of great comfort and consolation to that deeply afflicted man so long ago. We live in a world of sin and misery, and any book that can help those visited by affliction is worth its weight in gold.

  • Faith on Trial: Psalm 73 (Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

    Why do good people suffer unjustly – and yet others get away with it? The Psalmist, Asaph, dealt with this very problem in Psalm 73 – one that has often perplexed and discouraged God’s people. Asaph reveals his own ‘no–holds–barred’ feelings and leads us step by step from near – despair to final assurance.

    For this reason, Psalm 73 has always appealed to preachers and counsellors. An excellent book for those struggling with, or wondering about, injustice in the world.

  • John Bunyan and the Grace of Fearing God (Joel Beeke & Paul Smalley)

    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.

  • The Gospel and Personal Evangelism (Mark Dever)

    Evangelism is not only misunderstood, it is often unpracticed. Many Christians want to share the gospel with others, but because we don’t grasp the fundamentals of witnessing, we feel intimidated and incapable of sharing the truth of the gospel. Here’s a book that offers real help to form in ourselves a habit of genuine personal evangelism.

    “For most of us, personal evangelism is the reverse of easy, and so it becomes a task we evade. Mark Dever writes to shake us up about this, clearing our heads as to just what evangelizing involves and motivating our hearts to go to it realistically and responsibly. This is a word in season that will surely do a great deal of good.” – J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

  • Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road (Timothy Keller)

    Why would someone risk his own safety, ruin his schedule, and get himself dirty and bloody to help a needy person of another race and social class? And why would Jesus tell us, “Go and do likewise”? Like the wounded man on the Jericho Road in Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan, there are needy people in our path — the widow next door, the large family strapped with medical bills, the homeless man outside our place of worship.

    God calls us to be ministers of mercy to those in need of assistance, food, shelter, or even just friendship. Author Timothy Keller is Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, and has led his church into significant practical service and opportunity for the gospel by caring for the needy around them in New York City.

  • Reading the Bible and Praying in Public (Stuart Olyott)

    Bible reading and prayer are two of the key elements in all evangelical church worship. At certain points in every service, someone will read the Scriptures and lead the congregation in prayer. These regular acts of worship are so familiar that many probably take them for granted and do not think too seriously about them.

    But what is the best way to read the Bible in public and what are the things we need to keep in mind if we are to lead others in public prayer? In this booklet, Stuart Olyott supplies us with wise practical advice on these vitally important acts of our corporate church worship.

  • Trusting God – Even When Life Hurts (Jerry Bridges)

    Sometimes we find it easier to obey God than to trust Him.

    Because obeying God makes sense to us. In most cases, His laws appear reasonable and wise, and even when we don’t want to obey them, we usually concede that they are good for us. But the circumstances we find ourselves in often defy explanation. Before long, we begin to doubt God’s concern for us or His control over our lives. We ask, “Why is God allowing this?” or “What have I done wrong?”

    During such a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a thorough Bible study on the topic of God’s sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and in Trusting God he shares the fruit of that study. As you explore the scope of God’s power over nations, nature, and even the details of your life, you’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely—even when life hurts.

    This new edition includes the study guide which used to be a separate volume – now all in one book.

  • The Brokenhearted Evangelist (Jeremy Walker)

    With a gutless orthodoxy, Christians today quickly affirm biblical truth regarding evangelism and mission, but, author Jeremy Walker reminds us, we cannot pretend that we know and believe the truth about men, souls, heaven, hell, and salvation unless it is making a difference in the way we think, feel, pray, speak, and act.

    How do Christians develop this sense of urgency to see lost sinners saved? What motivates our evangelism? We must have the character of the brokenhearted evangelist, the David of Psalm 51, who recognizes the greatness of his own sin, looks to God for forgiveness, then recognizes his undeniable obligation to teach transgressors God’s ways.

    In an engaging style and with pastoral warmth, Walker urges Christians to exercise their obligation and privilege to teach transgressors God’s ways, providing both spiritual truth and practical guidance for carrying out this necessary gospel duty.
