The Call to Joy and Pain: Embracing Suffering in Your Ministry (Ajith Fernando)
$14.50Joy 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.

The Family Life of a Christian Leader (Ajith Fernando)
$14.50Anyone involved in Christian ministry knows how challenging it is to balance ministry and family responsibilities. Many demands pull leaders in different directions—making it easy to neglect one or the other, often without even realizing it. Writing from decades of counseling and personal ministry experience, Ajith Fernando points Christian leaders back to the most important aspect of their lives: their relationship with God.
He then offers practical guidance for responding to real-life situations in the home, including disciplining children, dealing with disappointment, loving one’s spouse, and pursuing joy. This book presents Christian leaders with a healthy and God-centered understanding of family that leads to a flourishing home.

No Condemnation in Christ Jesus (Octavius Winslow)
$11.25In this long out of print study of Romans 8, Octavius Winslow gives an exposition which puts on display the treasures of grace found in Paul’s letter to the Romans, the letter which Martin Luther once called ‘the clearest Gospel of them all’.
This volume is a full verse-by-verse exposition of Romans 8, beginning with the promise of ‘no condemnation’ in verse 1 and moving to the assurance in the final verse that there will be ‘no separation’ from the love of God in Christ for those who belong to Him.

Layman’s Guide to the Sabbath Question (Dr. Richard Belcher)
$7.49Believers today have varying convictions concerning a day of worship and practices related to such a day. But how many understand why they do or do not follow such practices? The authors of A Layman’s Guide to the Sabbath Question seek to aid all believers in coming to a clearer understanding of this Sabbath question.
First, they present three views concerning Sabbath or Lord’s Day observance. Second, they compare these three positions. Finally, suggestions are given the reader to guide him to a personal conclusion in the matter.
All who read this work will not only develop a clearer understanding of their own position, but they will also come to a sharper focus of the other viewpoints and those tenets which distinguish the three.

The Doctrine of Balaam (C. R. Cali)
$12.75For decades the Church of Jesus Christ has been tossed to and fro during our abortion holocaust. For a variety of reasons her pulpits have largely been silent. The lack of biblical instruction, discipleship and discipline has weakened the understanding of professing Christian congregations with catastrophic effects.
Nearly all of the education, training, and work done in this area has been outsourced to the secular prolife establishment. We are now at a point when pastors and leadership and average professing Christians assume that the secular prolife establishment doctrine and practice is the Christian position.
The Doctrine of Balaam seeks to examine these doctrines that have crept into the church against scripture and the light of nature and will ask the Christian to stand with their Lord, regardless of circumstance and with His mind, say with Him “Thus says the Lord.”

Children of the Living God (Sinclair B. Ferguson)
$8.95Jesus 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)
$16.00Written 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)
$12.50Why 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)
$11.50He 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.

$9.75Comparing the Uniform of the Police Officer and the Armor of God

Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road (Timothy Keller)
$11.50Why 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.

The Sovereignty of God (A. W. Pink)
$12.50Frequently called one of the five most life-changing books of this century, and certainly among those we know, we have heard this testimony.
“Present day conditions call loudly for a new examination and new presentation of God’s omnipotence, God’s sufficiency, God’s sovereignty. From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered that God still lives, that God still observes, that God still reigns. Faith is now in the crucible, it is being tested by fire,and there is no fixed and sufficient resting-place for the heart and mind but in The Throne of God. What is needed now, as never before, is a full, positive, constraining setting forth of the Godhood of God.”

Reading the Bible and Praying in Public (Stuart Olyott)
$1.75Bible 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)
$13.99Sometimes 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.

Don’t Call it a Comeback: The Old Faith for a New Day (Kevin DeYoung)
$13.75Recent cultural interest in evangelicalism has led to considerable confusion about what the term actually means. Many young Christians are tempted to discard the label altogether. But evangelicalism is not merely a political movement in decline or a sociological phenomenon on the rise, as it has sometimes been portrayed. It is, in fact, a helpful theological profile that manifests itself in beliefs, ethics, and church life.
DeYoung and several other key evangelical Christian leaders present Don’t Call It a Comeback: The Same Evangelical Faith for a New Day to assert the stability, relevance, and necessity of Christian orthodoxy today. This book introduces young, new, and under-discipled Christians to the most essential and basic issues of faith in general and of evangelicalism in particular.

Each chapter is presented in the form of a letter and close conversation with God, and applicable for the reader desiring to grow in the faith.

A Serrated Edge: A Brief Defense of Biblical Satire and Trinitarian Skylarking (Douglas Wilson)
$9.75Satire is a kind of preaching. Satire pervades Scripture. Satire treats the foibles of sinners with a less than perfect tenderness. But, if a Christian employs satire today, he is almost immediately called to account for his “unbiblical” behavior. Yet Scripture shows that the central point of some religious controversies is to give offense. When Christ was confronted with ecclesiastical obstinacy and other forms of arrogance, He showed us a godly pattern for giving offense.
In every controversy, godliness and wisdom (or the lack of them) are to be determined by careful appeal to the Scriptures and not to the fact of someone having taken offense. Perhaps they ought to have taken offense, and perhaps someone ought to have endeavored to give it. Wilson does a good job showing how Christ, His Apostles, and the prophets did at times mock religious error as a means of exposing it.

Anger, Anxiety and Fear: A Biblical Perspective (Stuart Scott)
$3.95Our responsibility as Christians is to depend on our God as seek daily to become more like Jesus daily. Often, there are life-dominating sins that greatly hinder us in this transformation. As the challenges of living in an uncertain world increase, the sins of anger, anxiety and fear arise more frequently in our daily lives. We need to be on guard against these sins and know how to resist their temptations when they come.
