  • The Right Use of the Fathers (John Daille)

    To the faithful Roman Catholic, as to the dissenting Protestant, authority is an important issue.  From whence may our duties in doctrine and practice be in infallibly drawn?  The Protestant answers, “From Scripture alone.”  The Romanist, on the other hand, answers, “From Scripture as it is interpreted by the infallible testimony of the Church, from the time of the Apostles to the present.”

    To the defense of this latter position, the writings of the ante-Nicene, Nicene, and post-Nicene fathers are recruited, with the assumption that they all held to a harmonious system of doctrine and that an appeal to such a system should put to rest all controversies.

    The truth of the matter is, however, that the fathers often contradicted one another, while many changed their opinions as they judgment matured with study or age.  Some of the extant writings are also of doubtful origin, the traditionally accepted authorship at times a matter of dispute. The author of this volume discusses these and other problems that arise from substituting the unreliable testimony of the fathers for the sure word of the enscripturated Word of God.

    The Gospel for Children (John Leuzarder)

    “This book is very special. It presents the Gospel in a straightforward, uncomplicated manner — explaining the truths of God, the Bible, sin, Jesus, the need for repentance and faith, and counting the costs of the Christian life, but in a way that both children and even adults will easily benefit from. I highly recommend it.” —Tedd Tripp, author of Shepherding a Child’s Heart

  • Finally Alive: What Happens When we are Born Again (John Piper)

    When Jesus said to Nicodemus, ‘You must be born again’, the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what that meant. Not much has changed. Today ‘born again Christians’ fill churches that are seen as ineffective at best and hardly recognizably Christian in any way. The term ‘born again’ has been devalued both in society and in the church. Those claiming to be ‘born again’ live lives that are indistinguishable from those who don’t; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covet the same, do almost everything the same.

    Being ‘born again’ is now defined by what people say that they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. It is of enormous consequence that we know what being born again really means, and that Christians know how to communicate this to others.

  • Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone (Elyse Fitzpatrick)

    Many people desire to live godly lives but feel trapped in habitual sins. They trip over the same bad habit, embarrassing weakness, or sinful slavery they wanted to be free of years ago. This book reveals that idolatry lies at the heart of every besetting sin.

    If you think of idols as stone statues in far-off lands, think again. Idols are the desires, longings, and expectations we worship instead of the true God.

    Fitzpatrick shares the hope found in God’s desire to have his children live free of idols, and his commitment to free them by his sanctifying power.

  • Love Divine and Unfailing: The Gospel According to Hosea (Michael P. V. Barrett)

    After establishing the historical and theological backdrop for Hosea, the book focuses on the connection between Hosea’s marriage to Gomer and the Lord’s marriage to his people. Though many were deaf to Hosea’s preaching, even the dullest could see his grief, sympathize with his sorrow, and wonder at his persistent love. Hosea’s marriage was a living sermon: What Hosea did for Gomer, God did for Israel; What Gomer did to Hosea, Israel did to God.

  • Prayers on the Psalms: From the Scottish Psalter of 1595

    Prayers on the Psalms is a triple treasure to me. It was edited by my beloved mentor David B. Calhoun, who is truly a gift to the church, it is drawn from the great Scottish Psalter of 1595 and the translated French prayers of Huguenot pastor martyr Augustin Marlorat, and it is based on the Psalms God has given his church to sing and pray in joy and tears. Read it devotionally and pray it passionately.’ — Ligon Duncan

  • The Life and Times of George Whitefield (Robert Philip)

    The best account of Whitefield’s life and ministry in a single volume.

    Drawing on the testimonies of those who had a personal knowledge of the man, and from Whitefield’s own journals, letters and sermons, the author has grasped the great lesson of the evangelist’s life, namely: that it is the Holy Spirit who makes preachers.

    Robert Philip is not an uncritical biographer, but is ready to note weaknesses and failures that admirers of Whitefield have sometimes passed over. But the outstanding feature of his work is the way in which he allows his subject to speak for himself. He seems to have absorbed all that Whitefield ever said and wrote, and his selection brings us into direct contact with the man. Thus Philip can truthfully write: “This work is chiefly from Whitefield’s own pen. So far as it is mine, it is in his own spirit.”

  • For Whom Did Christ Die? The Extent of the Atonement (John Murray)

    From the booklet:
    “The question of the extent of the atonement is simply: for whom did Christ make atonement? In even simpler language it is: for whom did Christ die? The question is: on whose behalf did Christ offer himself a sacrifice? On whose behalf did he propitiate the wrath of God? Whom did he reconcile to God in the body of his flesh through death? Whom did he redeem from the curse of the law, from the guilt and power of sin, from the enthralling power and bondage of Satan? In whose stead and on whose behalf was he obedient unto death, even the death of the cross?

    These are precisely the questions that have to be asked and frankly faced if the matter of the extent of the atonement is to be placed in proper focus.” – John Murray

  • The Power of Prayer: The New York Revival of 1858 (Samuel Prime)

    The Autumn of 1857 saw New York in the midst of financial failure which ruined many of its one million people. J.W. Alexander, returning there from Europe, found ‘a pall of mourning over every house’. But, unlike other times of national disaster this era was accompanied by a renewed spirit of prayer to be followed by a manifestation of the ‘marvellous lovingkindness’ of God as thousands were brought from worldly sorrow to the possession of everlasting riches and life in Christ.

    Samuel Prime’s work, written with the aid of other ministers, gives a first hand record of the year which saw America’s last national awakening- a revival which, noiseless and unexpected, was in striking contrast with the idea that evangelism is primarily a case of human effort. In 1858 the great truths ‘made exceedingly prominent’ were ‘the influence of the Holy Spirit and free salvation through the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ’.

  • The Power of the Pulpit (Gardiner Spring)

    “Gardiner Spring’s The Power of the Pulpit is an old classic on preaching that truly believes in the pulpit. It deserves to stand on every minister’s bookshelf beside Spurgeon’s Lectures to my Students and Lloyd-Jones’s Preachers and Preaching.  I’ll never forget the first time I read Spring’s chapter on a minister’s personal piety; it overwhelmed me, and moved me to tears, to silence, to confession, and to prayer for mercy and help. This is a great book which every minister should read and re-read, if he really wants to get a sense of the magnitude, awesomeness, power, and beauty of his calling.” — Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theology Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan and author of numerous books on the Puritans and preaching

  • The Whole Christ (Sinclair Ferguson)

    Legalism, Antinomianism, and Gospel Assurance—Why the Marrow Controversy Still Matters

    Since the days of the early church, Christians have wrestled with the relationship between the law and gospel. If, as the apostle Paul says, salvation is by grace and the law cannot save, what relevance does the law have for Christians today?

    By revisiting The Marrow Controversy — a famous but largely forgotten 18th-century debate related to the proper relationship between God’s grace and our works—Sinclair B. Ferguson sheds light on this central issue and why it still matters today.

    In doing so, he explains how our understanding of the relationship between law and gospel determines our approach to evangelism, our pursuit of sanctification, and even our understanding of God himself.
