The Life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Iain Murray)
$18.75The life of Dr Lloyd-Jones has been the subject of comment and assessment in many publications and these have been taken into account. The main purpose of this further biography, however, is to put Dr Lloyd-Jones’ life before another generation in more accessible form. The big story is all here.
When Lloyd-Jones left medicine, he intended only to be an evangelist in a mission hall in South Wales. No one was more surprised than he in being called to a ministry which would eventually affect churches across the world.
How this happened is here explained, but the theme is the person described by F. F. Bruce: “A thoroughly humble man. He was a man of prayer, a powerful evangelist, an expository preacher of rare quality, in the fullest sense a servant of the Word of God.”
Behind that theme a greater one emerges. In Lloyd-Jones’s own words: “My whole life experiences are proof of the sovereignty of God and his direct interference in the lives of men. I cannot help believing what I believe. I would be a madman to believe anything else-the guiding hand of God! It is an astonishment to me.”

Charity and Its Fruits (Jonathan Edwards)
$16.25Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions, this volume, Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his regular pulpit ministry in the years between the Northampton revival of 1735 and ‘the Great Awakening’ of 1740.
Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like his better known book, The Religious Affections, reveals Edwards’ insistence both that true Christian experience is ‘supernatural’- Spirit produced and Christ centered- and that ‘all true Christian grace tends to practice’. These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other.
The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writings.

Josiah’s Reformation: Cultivating and Maintaining a Tender Heart (Richard Sibbes) (#46)
$8.75This book is as relevant today as when first published in 1629. Our busyness and activism so easily degenerate into a hypocrisy in which we keep up all the appearance of holiness without the heart of it. Christians even use Christ as a package to pass on to others, instead of enjoying him first and foremost as their own Savior. But true reformation must begin in the heart, with love for Christ. And that can only come when the free grace of God in Christ Jesus is preached. Reading Sibbes is like sitting in the sunshine: he gets into your heart and warms it to Christ.

All Loves Excelling (John Bunyan) (#24)
$6.25All Loves Excelling is John Bunyan’s sermon on Ephesians 3:17-18, ‘That ye may be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.’
It was first titled The Saints’ Knowledge of Christ’s Love’ and is worthy of being ranked alongside Sibbes and deals with a much neglected topic.
On the one hand, experiences of the Spirit are being claimed from which the glory of the redeemer and the wonder of his love are quite absent, while on the other, an almost total attention to the understanding and practicing of scripture truth is having the effect of marginalizing the experiential element in true, spiritual knowledge.

Jonathan Edwards on Knowing Christ
$13.00Jonathan Edwards is widely recognized today as perhaps the greatest of all North American thinkers and philosophers. Such was the depth and power of his intellect that annually new books and articles on his work come into print. But Edwards was supremely a Christian thinker. His great goal in life was to know and glorify God through Jesus Christ and to encourage others to do the same. Consequently it is in his sermons that we find the real heart of the man.
Here he is thinker, herald, pastor and theologian all in one. This selection of ten of Edwards’ sermons provides a fine sample of the God-centeredness of his ministry. In them he shows the seriousness of man’s sinful condition, the riches of Christ’s grace, and the marvels of the Christian life. To read Edwards is, almost invariably, to be led into the presence of God. That was the great aim of his preaching, and echoes of it will be heard in reading these pages.

The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction (Sinclair Ferguson)
$13.75Christian doctrine matter for Christian living. This is ‘one of the most important growth points of the Christian life’, writes Sinclair B. Ferguson. From this starting point, The Christian Life expounds such key biblical themes as grace, faith, repentance, new birth and assurance with clarity and contagious enthusiasm. ‘Christian doctrines are life-shaping’, explains the author, because ‘they show us the God we worship’.
Widely used and appreciated since its first appearance, The Christian Life not only expounds the teaching of Scripture, but outlines its meaning for practical Christian living.

None But Jesus: Selections from the Writings of John Flavel (Pocket Puritans Series)
$4.80No one ever wrote and preached more richly of Christ than John Flavel did in his series The Fountain of Life. This little book, an addition to the Pocket Puritans Series, is full of thought-provoking quotations drawn from those writings, mostly focused on Jesus Christ, but also including topics such as providence, conversion, suffering, heaven, and glory.

A Guide to Prayer (Isaac Watts)
$15.00In this valuable work, Isaac Watts shows what prayer is and helps us to make better use of the glorious privilege given to all Christians of conversing with our Father – as he wrote: “Prayer is the conversation which God allows us to maintain with Himself above, while we are here below, in which the soul of a saint often gets near to God, experiences great delight, and as it were, dwells with his heavenly Father for a short time before he comes to heaven.”
In a thoroughgoing study, Watts covers invocation, adoration, confession, petition, pleading, profession (or self-dedication), thanksgiving, blessing, and more. He describes in vivid and persuasive terms what a gift prayer is, how to express ourselves in prayer, even down to details like gesture and voice, and the help of the Spirit in prayer.

Christ’s Glorious Achievements (Charles Spurgeon)
$10.75Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a man captivated, comforted, and revolutionized by Christ: here you’ll see why. He brings home what it means for the believer that Christ is the End of the law, the Conqueror of Satan, the Overcomer of the world, the Maker of all things new, the Spoiler of principalities and powers, the Destroyer of death, and the Seeker and Savior of the lost.
“If you have never read anything of Spurgeon before, this book is for you, and a treat awaits you. If you want to press in to know Christ better, to know all he is for you and what he has done for you, read this.”

Christ Is Best: Pocket Puritans Series (Richard Sibbes)
$4.80The Puritan preacher Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) really knew how to awaken and invigorate faith, love and joy in Christ in the hearts of his hearers. Taking Paul’s words in Philippians 1:23-24, Sibbes very ably shows that we will only begin to desire Christ above all else when we sense how much he loves us sinners, how much he has suffered for our forgiveness, and how unfathomably kind and merciful he is and has been.
We love him, because he first loved us (I John 4:19).

The Crook in the Lot (Thomas Boston) (#49)
$8.00What to Believe when our lot in life is not health, wealth, and happiness
Thomas Boston (1676-1732) was a remarkable Scottish theologian and pastor. His Works run to 12 volumes and contain some lengthy theological treatises. But Boston also wrote brief, very accessible, and pastoral books, and chief among these is the quaintly titled, The Crook in the Lot: The Sovereignty and Wisdom of God, in the Afflictions of Men Displayed. This little book is a pastoral masterpiece, in which Boston reflects on the words of Ecclesiastes 7:13, ‘Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight which he hath made crooked?’
By ‘lot’, Boston means our ‘lot in life’, the shape of our lives as they are styled by God’s many providences. By ‘crook’, he means those unforeseen troubles that afflict, unsettle, or disturb us in any way. Boston sets out to minister pastoral wisdom and help to God’s people experiencing what Paul calls ‘the sufferings of this present time’ (Rom. 8:18).

Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00“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.

The Atonement (Hugh Martin)
$22.50Subtitled:
In Its Relations to the Covenant, the Priesthood, the Intercession of our Lord.We enthusiastically welcome back Hugh Martin’s outstanding book on the atonement, one of the finest ever penned.
The great distinctive feature of The Atonement is the emphasis it places on the importance of a covenant perspective, and its focus on the work of Christ as priest. Martin was adamant that these are essential to the right interpretation and proclamation of the doctrine of the atonement.
For anyone who wants to learn what it is to think about Christ’s atonement these pages will open up new vistas and indeed whole panoramas that will, when gazed on with a loving and humble mind, fill the heart with love and praise.

C. H. Spurgeon, Autobiography Volume 1: The Early Years
$29.00By far, the best biography of Spurgeon, being his own account! Your respect and admiration for this great preacher and man of God will grow through the reading of this hugely important work. While any autobiography lacks the continuity of a well-researched biography, there is a freshness to it that is endearing. Spurgeon relates anecdote-like memories, along with detailed descriptions of some of the more pertinent events of his life.
The chapters dealing with his conviction of sin and subsequent conversion are especially enlightening.
His wife, Susannah Spurgeon, wrote several chapters that are also included – mostly about their courtship and early wedded life.
This volume deals mainly with Spurgeon’s childhood and early ministry with the New Park Street Baptist Church, and of course includes some of Spurgeon’s own humor.

The Love of Christ: Sermons on the Song of Solomon (Richard Sibbes) (#44)
$10.75The Love of Christ is a collection of sermons preached on Song of Solomon 4:16-6:3. For Sibbes, this Bible book ‘is nothing else but a plain demonstration and setting forth of the love of Christ to his church, and of the love of the church to Christ’. The Song of Solomon does not simply mouth a doctrine: its sensuous imagery sings its message. It is as if this love story is played on violins.
The reader is thus brought, not simply to understand, but to taste and share the delights of the lovers. This is precisely what Christ’s people need, as Sibbes knew: it is not enough to be aware of Christ’s love; we must sense, grasp and enjoy it. Only then will we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts.

Spiritual-Mindedness (John Owen) (#41)
$8.00Thomas Chalmers wrote that Owen’s book on Spiritual-Mindedness holds ‘a distinguished rank among the voluminous writings of this celebrated author’. For him three features made it special:
* The force with which it applies truth to the conscience
* The way in which Owen plumbs the depths of Christian experience as a skillful physician of the soul
* The uncovering of the secrets of the mind and heart so that the true spiritual state of the reader is discoveredThis book began as a collection of meditations on Romans 8:6, written for the author’s own benefit during a time of illness. Alarmed by the subtle power the world has over the mind, Owen shows us how to really live by raising our thoughts above all earthly objects and setting them on ‘things above, where Christ is’ (Col. 3:1).

When Christians Suffer: Pocket Puritans Series (Thomas Case)
$4.80Thomas Case, a prisoner of the Lord during dark days for the gospel in England, believed that “Discourses on affliction can never be out of season. Providence has so ordered that whosoever will follow the Lord fully like Caleb (Num. 14:24) will be exposed to the world’s hatred, but the glorious Spirit will rest upon them (1 Pet. 4:14).”
With persuasive arguments drawn from God’s Word and verified by his own experience, Case convinces us that God’s rod and God’s love may stand together, for “the Lord disciplines those he loves”. Here is sweet comfort for all of Christ’s cross-bearing disciples.

Repentance (John Colquhoun)
$9.50In this treatment of the biblical doctrine of repentance, the author distinguished between evangelical or true repentance and legal repentance. Though the latter may be produced by a fear of God’s wrath and lead to reformation of life, it is an experience which falls short of salvation.
Evangelical repentance, on the other hand, is the result of the Holy Spirit’s work in regeneration, is inseparable from faith in Jesus Christ, and is evidenced by turning from all sin to God.
