Sermons of the Great Ejection (#3)
A fine introduction to Puritan preaching, this volume also recalls one of the great turning points in English Christianity — for these sermons were preached on ‘the Farewell Sunday’ in August, 1662, when two thousand ministers left the national Church for conscience’ sake. Much has been written on that Great Ejection, but nothing is more important than to hear the ejected speak for themselves. Their watchword was:
“I preach as never sure to preach again,
And as a dying man to dying men.”This new edition of Sermons of the Great Ejection not only commemorates the 350th anniversary of a noteworthy historical event but, more importantly, gives a real insight into the theology, godliness, and preaching of the Puritans.

Heroes (Iain Murray)
The Bible no more knows a separate class of heroes than it does of saints. Because of Jesus Christ, every Christian is extraordinary and attains to glory. Yet grace so shines in some (as in the portraits of Hebrews 11), that it lightens the path of many. As A.W. Tozer wrote, ‘Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aid to the life of faith may be Christian biographies.’
Iain Murray has already written on a number of Christians he especially admires. A few of them return to these pages, but with focus on their thought – George Whitefield on Christian unity, for example. Most space, however, is given to little-known figures, including Robert Kalley and William Hewitson who shared in ‘the greatest happening in modern missions’, and to Charles and Mary Colcock Jones who took much-loved slaves with them to heaven.
There is much new research in these pages, and reminders of how much is missed by those who fail to read of the work of God in history. Christians who know what Christ did yesterday are energized to trust and serve him today.

The Way to True Happiness: Pocket Puritans Series (Ralph Venning)
Puritan Ralph Venning (1621-74) here proposes that true happiness is only to be found in understanding and doing the will of God. Venning was admired not only for his preaching but also for the consistency of his life. This, together with his powerful call to a pleasure-obsessed world to seek happiness only where it may be found, are perhaps the reasons why his writings continue to speak so powerfully to us today.
In this edition, English spellings have been updated as have some of Venning’s seventeenth century idioms, while quotations from Latin sources have been translated for the benefit of the reader unfamiliar with the language. The text, however, remains substantially Vennings’ and has not been abridged.

Christ Set Forth (Thomas Goodwin) (#47)
First published in 1642, Christ Set Forth — one of Thomas Goodwin’s most beloved and enduring works — is a book full of theological riches and penetrating pastoral insights. Addressing, from an exposition of Romans 8:34, the pastoral problem that many believers stray in their faith by looking into their own hearts for signs of grace instead of looking away from themselves to Christ, Christ Set Forth is primarily a book written to encourage Christians.

Simplicity in Preaching (J. C. Ryle)
“Ryle packs more experience and sanctified common sense into two dozen pages than many others manage in a lengthy treatise. And, like all of his work, this one illustrates the very simplicity he commends to others. Here indeed is a work whose value and usefulness is out of all proportion to its length.” — Sinclair B. Ferguson

Warnings to the Churches (J. C. Ryle)
The ambiguity and obscurity of statements from religious leaders today often confuse ordinary Christians. J. C. Ryle’s writings were of a different character. His outspoken comments can still help us towards clear Bible-based convictions.

Coming to Faith in Christ (John Benton)
First published in the 1980s, this has been for over 30 years now one of the most useful evangelistic booklets we have ever seen or used. Coming to Faith in Christ presents a straightforward summary of the gospel for those who may be considering the Christian faith for the first time.
Bible references are given throughout to encourage the reader to search the pages of Scripture and see for himself the message of Jesus Christ.
“I was looking for a literature to give to a friend of mine who is not a Christian. This booklet is an excellent witnessing tool to give away for those we want to share the gospel!” — Angelo Dela Cruz Jr.

The Forgotten Spurgeon (Iain Murray)
From the masterful pen of Iain Murray, this is probably the most incisive, brief historical and theological volume about the great 19th century Baptist, Charles Haddon Spurgeon. In particular focusing on Spurgeon’s uncompromising stance in three major controversies of his times, realms of doctrine still vital for us to learn how to stand for today.
This book seeks to throw light on the reasons which have given rise to the superficial image of Spurgeon as a genial Victorian pulpiteer, a kind of grandfather of modern evangelicalism. Even before his death in 1892 newspapers and church leaders disputed over the features of his life which entitled him to fame. Not his “narrow creed”, but his “genuine loving character” is what is most worthy of remembrance, said one periodical, echoing the public’s general view.
Still, distortions about Spurgeon continued, and he forecast himself how the positions he held might fare in the 20th century: “I am quite willing to be eaten by dogs for the next fifty years, but the more distant future shall vindicate me.”

Systematic Theology (Louis Berkhof)
Professor Berkhof died in 1957, at the age of 83. He was an outstanding American teacher and the author of some 22 books. After two pastorates, he began his long career as professor at Calvin Seminary, Grand Rapids, in 1906. Here he remained for 38 years, devoting his talents and immense stores of knowledge to the training of men for the ministry. His ‘Systematic Theology’ was his magnum opus, being revised and enlarged during his lifetime until it reached its present final form.
Berkhof’s loyalty to the well-defined lines of the Reformed Faith, his concise and compact style and his up-to-date treatment have made this work the most important twentieth century compendium of Reformed Theology. ‘The work seemed particularly important to me’, writes the author, ‘in view of the widespread doctrinal indifference of the present day, of the resulting superficiality and confusion in the minds of many professing Christians, of the insidious errors that are zealously propagated even from the pulpits, and of the alarming increase of all kinds of sects. If there ever was a time when the Church ought to guard her precious heritage, the deposit of the truth that was entrusted to her acre, that time is now’.

The Acceptable Sacrifice (John Bunyan) (#35)
A heart-rending, moving explanation of Psalm 51:17: “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” This was John Bunyan’s final written work, in which this aged pastor sought to show why a broken heart is so very much acceptable to God.

Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul (Octavius Winslow)
Many who are conscious that their spiritual experience and vitality have sadly declined have only a hazy notion of the nature and causes of their condition. The kind of searching analysis which would help to clarify their thoughts and concentrate their sense of conviction is largely absent from the contemporary pulpit and from the Christian literature of the day.
But such help is available, and can be found in works like Octavius Winslow’s Personal Declension and Revival. It discusses the areas of life in which backsliding takes place, examines the consequences, and in the concluding chapters points to the Lord who is the restorer and keeper of his people.

Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ (John Bunyan) (#32)

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 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’.

Sinful Speech: Pocket Puritans series (John Flavel)
The ancients believed that there were as many sins of the tongue as letters in the alphabet, while the Apostle James described the tongue as “a world of iniquity.” Puritan pastor John Flavel was often grieved by the language used by professing Christians. Here he warns against several forms of sinful speech and points to what he calls the Spirit’s “excellent way to season our words, and keep them sweet and sound.” (Col. 4:6). Another volume in the Pocket Puritan series.

Practical Religion (J. C. Ryle)
As with all Ryle’s works, Practical Religion is clear, concise and penetrating. It was designed to be a companion to his other books, Old Paths, Knots Untied and Holiness, providing guidance on how the Christian believer is to live. In Ryle’s own words, it ‘treats of the daily duties, dangers, experience, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians.’
Far from advocating a works-based religion, these papers are all about how a Christian can practically respond to the grace that has been freely given to him in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ryle was a great enemy of hypocritical and nominal religion, or ‘churchianity’ as he called it. These articles remain a great plea for a real, heartfelt devotion to the Lord in love and service, founded on the great doctrines of Scripture.

Biblical Theology: Old and New Testaments: Hardcover (Geerhardus Vos)
Geerhardus Vos was a pioneer in the evangelical study of “Biblical Theology”, that is, the method of Bible study which follows the gradual revealing of the mind of God in history, through the successive ages of His special revelation. A work of enormous worth, these pages contain the fruit of the 39 years which Vos spent teaching Biblical Theology at Princeton, until his retirement in 1932.
This historical approach to the study of the Scriptures is not meant to supplant the work of systematic theology; but to realize that the Christian gospel and message is inextricably bound up with history, and the student of Scripture who approaches the Word of God appreciating this fact, will gain insight by focusing on what was revealed in each Biblical document in succession.

Leviticus (Andrew Bonar)
Leviticus is one of the least read and understood parts of Scripture. Yet, the author of this commentary points out, no book in the Bible contains more of the very words of God than Leviticus.
Bonar wrote his notes on Leviticus for his personal use, but was persuaded to publish them by friends. His commentary, though based on sound exegesis, is marked by simplicity. The author is always careful to make spiritual application, for, as he says, ‘The Gospel of the grace of God, with all that follows in its train, may be found in Leviticus. This is the glorious attraction of the book to every reader who feels himself a sinner.’
