  • The Joy of Fearing God (Jerry Bridges)

    For most of us, fear is something we try to avoid. And fearing God hardly sounds like an occasion for joy. But Jerry Bridges shows how the fear of the Lord is actually the key that opens the door to a life of true knowledge, wisdom, blessing, and joy.

    We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God–one that’s characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy? After all, aren’t we supposed to love Him and live in intimate relationship with Him? Jerry Bridges explores this paradox as he unpacks the biblical promise that God delights in those who fear Him. Join him as he unveils the awesome greatness of God–His incredible holiness, deep wisdom, and especially His inspiring love. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of who God is that will draw you into a truly biblical, and surprisingly delightful, fear of God–a fear that includes your own genuine, heartfelt delight in God.

    You’ll make the startling discovery that the fear of the Lord, far from being something to avoid, is the key to joyful, fulfilling, and genuine intimacy with God. It can change your relationship with God and change your life. After all, it is the beginning of wisdom.

  • Trusting Through the Tears (Keren Baker)

    Living a faithful Christian life will always hold the possibility of trouble and difficulty, but how do you cope when the troubles come one after another? A chronic long-term illness, miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy and premature baby, the unexpected death of a little girl, a child suffering with mental illness, all against a background of struggles with finances and so many other things that ‘dark times’ seems a fearfully inadequate description. It is one thing to read of such things in the life of perhaps a missionary or some great saint, but how does an ordinary family in an ordinary city in the UK cope? Keren’s story will certainly move you, but it will also encourage you.

    As she says, This is our story. A tapestry of God’s goodness and grace in dark times. We haven’t finished this struggle but continue as others do … I hope that whether it’s your tears or your tears on behalf of someone else, this book will make you wonder at the care and compassion of God, contrasting your helplessness with his sovereign power. His all enabling power can lift you so that, with his help, you can meet each day with the strength to go on.

  • Set Apart: Calling a Worldly Church to a Godly Life (R. Kent Hughes)

    Materialism, hedonism, violence, divorce . . . despite a growing interest in “spirituality,” American morality declines daily—even among Christians. Recalling the biblical teaching on the body of Christ, Hughes cautions that as our distinct identity erodes, so does our witness. He sounds a clarion call for the contemporary church to return to God’s holy standards.

  • Don’t Scare the Children! Homeschooling and the Fear of the Lord (Dennis Gundersen)

    “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!

  • Today’s Gospel: Authentic or Synthetic (Walter Chantry)

    One of the most important books on evangelism written in the 20th century, with enduring value today. Chantry shows that the differences between much of today’s preaching and that of Jesus are not minor – they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the Gospel message.

    If there were only a deficiency in just one of the areas this book brings up, even that would pose a serious problem. But “today’s gospel” preaching frequently ignores all of these: the attributes of God, repentance, a call to bow to the enthroned Christ, and perversions of the doctrine of assurance.

    This powerfully-written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.

  • Happiness (Randy Alcorn)

    Christians are supposed to be happy. In fact, we are supposed to radiate joy, peace, and contentment that is so unmistakable and so attractive that others are naturally drawn to us because they want what we have. And yet, in today’s culture, the vast majority of Christians are perceived as angry, judgmental people who don’t seem to derive any joy from life whatsoever. So why aren’t we happy?

    Unfortunately, many Christians are taught early on that God doesn’t want us to be happy (he wants us to be holy). In fact, many Christians are laboring under the false notion that God himself is not happy. But nothing could be further from the truth! God does want us to be happy. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a happy, joy-filled God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to be happy. Why else would He go to the lengths He did to ensure our eternal happiness in His presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in Heaven, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also experience joy and happiness here on earth.

  • Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate (Jerry Bridges)

    As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God’s eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the ones we consider ‘Big Ones’ – abortion, adultery, murder – we often overlook more deceptive sins. More personal sins. The ones we commit.

    It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably thrive. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.

    Author Jerry Bridges believes that just as culture has lost the concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. He writes not from a sense of achievement, but from the trenches of his own personal battles. Drawing from scriptural truth, he sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth, and he encourages us on a path to victory by re-applying the gospel freshly to our lives.

  • Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity (Nancy Pearcey)

    Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant? In today’s cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular.

    This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal.

  • Old Paths (J. C. Ryle)

    Subtitled, “Being Plain Statements on some of the Weightier Matters of Christianity.” Some of Ryle’s most persuasive expositions on the great themes of the gospel.

    It was the prophet Jeremiah who first used the expression ‘old paths’ and assured those who followed those paths would find ‘rest for (their) souls’ (Jeremiah 6:16). J.C. Ryle was of the same conviction and wrote:

    “The longer I live the more I am convinced that the world needs no new Gospel, as some profess to think. I am thoroughly persuaded that the world needs nothing but bold, full, unflinching teaching of the ‘old paths’”.

  • What Does God Want of us Anyway? (Mark Dever)

    Originally delivered as sermons by pastor Mark Dever at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington D. C., these three studies are now available in one hardcover volume. Dever guides readers to take a step back and look at the Bible from a broader perspective. As we notice new features of an object when viewed from a distance, so too the major themes of Scripture become more apparent when we take in the Bible as a whole. Part of the IXMarks series, this book considers the central messages of the Bible as seen in the promises of God.

    Dever examines the general narrative of God’s Word to answer the question, “What does God wants of us anyway?” Readers looking for a panoramic view of Scripture will be reminded of the faithful, persistent love of God and find themselves drawn into a broader, but deeper, understanding of the maker and keeper of promises.

  • Choosing Forgiveness: Your Journey to Freedom (Nancy Leigh DeMoss)

    Scripture says that offenses will happen. People will let us down and we will let others down, too. Forgiveness is left up to us to pray about and then practice. Far from minimizing the hurt of the offense, readers are called to understand that offering forgiveness and letting go of bitterness is the only way to walk in faithfulness.

    Drawing on biblical teaching of our call to forgive, Nancy shows the reader that forgiveness is a choice, and the only pathway to true freedom.

    The Gospel & Same-Sex Marriage (Russell Moore)

    Christians should be known by what they are for, not simply what they are against. The Bible is unambiguously clear about marriage’s definition and purpose. So, Christians are for marriage. The Bible’s witness on marriage doesn’t allow for same-sex marriage, not because the Bible gives attention to same-sex marriage, but because the biblical narrative on marriage doesn’t conceive of same-sex marriage as within the realm of possibility. Yet, many Christians live among neighbors and under law-makers who disagree.

    So, what now? Editors Russell Moore and Andrew T. Walker of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) assemble leading voices to frame the issues with a gospel-centered perspective. The Gospel for Life series gives every believer a biblically-saturated understanding of the most urgent issues facing our culture today, because the gospel is for all of life.
