Acts 20: Fierce Wolves are Coming – Guard the Flock (Alexander Strauch)
$16.50A new study of Paul’s final charge to the Ephesian elders.Â
“Any church elder who does not know the content of Paul’s message to the Ephesian elders is ill-equipped to lead and protect God’s people.” — Alexander Strauch, author of this book on Acts 20Â
God has given us a special gift in Paul’s farewell message to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:17-38). There is really nothing else in the New Testament comparable to this passage. In Acts 20: Fierce Wolves are Coming; Guard the Flock Alexander Strauch provides an in-depth yet practical exposition of this extraordinary portion of Scripture.
History amply demonstrates that the truths of Paul’s message cannot be overstated or repeated too often. The appalling, centuries-long failure to stop false teachers from invading churches can be traced directly back to ignorance of or disobedience to Paul’s prophetic warnings to the Ephesian elders. Paul’s instructions and pleas to the Ephesian elders are just as critically needed today as they were that day on the shores of Miletus.

Foundations for the Flock: Truths About the Church for All the Saints (Conrad Mbewe)
$23.50In recent years Conrad Mbewe has become well known as a preacher around the world. His clear exposition and powerful application of Scripture has earned him a broad and attentive international audience. But what many do not know is he is also a prolific author in his own country of Zambia. He has written numerous articles and booklets to address the spiritual needs of his nation and its churches.
This writing ministry, together with his powerful preaching and his experience in church-planting efforts, have made him one of the leaders of African evangelical Christianity. From the wide assortment of his work we have gathered together his more substantial material dealing with the church.
This title, Foundations for the Flock, is an effort to take some of his previously published material and make it available to the rest of the world. We are confident it will edify Christians of other nations just as it has done in Zambia.
The theme of this book is church life, so every part of it deals in some way with this theme.
