Studies on Saving Faith (Arthur Pink)
$12.50This book is a Biblical response to easy-believism and antinomianism, both of which are rampant in our day in the modern church. Its relevance is seen in the following statement from Pink: “At no point does Satan use his cunning and power more tenaciously, and more successfully, than in getting people to believe that they have a saving faith when they have not.”

Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots – paperback (J. C. Ryle)
$8.50“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.

Believers’ Evidences for Eternal Life (Francis Roberts)
$19.50We 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).

Heaven on Earth: A Treatise on Christian Assurance (Thomas Brooks) (#2)
$9.75One 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.

Gospel Assurance and Warnings (Paul Washer)
$14.50It should come as no surprise that misunderstandings about the gospel message and the nature of true conversion result in a problem with genuine assurance of salvation. A pseudo-gospel of “easy believism” has led many into careless presumption, and a poor understanding of salvation has abandoned tender consciences to near spiritual despair.
In Gospel Assurance and Warnings, Paul Washer shines the light of gospel hope as he cautions against the dangers of making an empty profession of faith and carefully explains from Scripture the basis for establishing and maintaining a sound assurance of faith.

Faith Seeking Assurance (Anthony Burgess)
$8.50It is not uncommon for professing Christians to question the genuineness of their faith. In seasons like this, they can wonder whether it is even possible to know for sure if they are in a state of saving grace. In this book, Anthony Burgess shows that Christians not only can come to an assurance of their salvation, but they should in fact pursue having just that.

A Pastor’s Sketches: Conversations with Anxious Souls Concerning the Way of Salvation (Ichabod Spencer)
$31.50A Pastor’s Sketches is one of the finest and most unique books ever written on the subject of evangelistic and pastoral ministry. It should rightly take its place on the desk of every pastor, but is immensely useful to anyone helping others to know God.
Drawing on his meticulous note-taking from evangelistic and counseling efforts, Ichabod Spencer accurately retells a helpful sampling of these encounters, including many of the excuses, spiritual strongholds, and lies that keep souls away from Christ.
Each chapter or sketch includes a narrative of Spencer’s efforts to apply the Scriptures under the guiding counsel of the Holy Spirit in order to help people overcome their personal obstacles to faith and repentance. He then shares with readers the primary lessons which can be learned from each interaction.

Yet few questions have provoked so much confusion. Ryan McGraw lays out what it means to be a Christian in terms of what one believes, what one experiences, and what one does—a full-orbed Christianity of head, heart, and hands.

Our Heavenly Shepherd: Comfort and Strength from Psalm 23 (Ian Hamilton)
$8.75Psalm 23 is probably the best known and most read passage in the Bible – a wonderfully reassuring picture of the believer’s life. Through it we learn the Lord God almighty is the faithful, heavenly Shepherd of his sheep – not only faithfully leading his sheep in life but also through the valley of the shadow of death – bringing them into his house where he will dwell with them forever.
Reflecting on Psalm 23 verse by verse will help us see how rich and privileged the believer’s life is as we learn how personally God is committed to protect and bring his people to be with him to heaven.

The Whole Christ (Sinclair Ferguson)
$21.50Legalism, 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.

The Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character (Gardiner Spring)
$14.50There are certain marks or character traits on a life that only a true believer in Jesus Christ will possess; likewise, there are traits that men put a great deal of confidence in, but which do not prove a man to be in Christ at all! In this important book, first published in 1813, the author skillfully shows which signs distinguish a true Christian and which do not. These include both internal and external marks.
Jonathan Edwards’ classic work, The Religious Affections, was the inspiration which stirred author Gardiner Spring to write this volume, long awaited to come back into print after a 20+ year absence. Spring’s writing on this subject is a solid survey of the kind of self-examination which all of us would be wise and Biblical to bring to our lives.

Knowing and Growing in Assurance of Faith (Joel R. Beeke)
$12.75In this, the 100th book of his writing labors, Joel Beeke writes on the power and beauty of true, secure assurance of faith: the heartfelt conviction that one belongs to Christ through faith and will enjoy everlasting salvation. This title opens up Dr. Beeke’s expertise and learning for anyone ‘trapped in a background of easy believism or trapped in the opposite fear of assurance being the certain mark of being presumptuous and so crushing the young shoots of hope and assurance as they appear.’

Old Paths (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00Subtitled, “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’”.

Easy Chairs, Hard Words: Conversations on the Liberty of God (Douglas Wilson)
$9.75“Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. You will say to me then, ‘Why still find fault, For who resisted His will?’ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God?” (Romans 9:18-20a).
Easy Chairs, Hard Words offers an honest look at many such difficult passages in Scripture. Presented as a series of fictional conversations between a curious young Christian and a seasoned pastor, these dialogues speak with clarity to those new to the Reformed faith.
They begin with the question, “Can salvation be lost?” and from there wrestle with other hard-to-swallow doctrines, including the freedom of the will, election, and original sin. Hard words, and yet the understanding given these passages is thoughtful and gentle. For our God—the God of hard words—is a merciful and loving Father, slow to wrath and quick to pardon, a triune God who graciously rescues men from death and brings them into everlasting life.

Nothing But the Truth: Upholding the Gospel in a Doubting Age (John MacArthur)
$14.99Combining a biblical study of evangelism, a rational defense of Christian beliefs, and a practical approach to evangelism, this book offers a well-rounded perspective that can help you gently and confidently give an answer for the hope you have in Christ.
“Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.” -1 Peter 3:15
Scripture is clear about the fact that we must be prepared to communicate the truth of the Gospel when given the opportunity—and do it with the right attitude. But even when your tone is gentle and respectful, what, specifically, should you say when asked or confronted about your faith? And what is your overall responsibility to unbelievers as a disciple of Christ?
