  • God the Preacher and the Apologist (Lance Quinn)

    Throughout the centuries of the Christian church, there have been many different approaches and applied methods in the field of apologetics. Yet only one approach, presuppositionalism, is truly compatible with expository preaching, each sphere relying principally on God the Preacher and Apologist. The twin concepts of biblical exposition in the pulpit, and presuppositionalism in the marketplace, must start and end with (and maintain throughout) a consistent and abiding reliance on the sufficiency and superiority of Holy Scripture. Apologetic approaches other than the presuppositionalist approach often start with arguments other than Scripture for their defense of the faith, thus blunting the impact God’s Word can powerfully and effectively have in the apologetic encounter. This is no less true for the expository preaching method too, given powerfully to those who profess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and collectively gather to hear God’s Word. To bring maximum impact to both believers and unbelievers alike, expository preaching and presuppositional apologetics should be closely tethered, as each method starts, and consistently provides throughout, the God-intended response for all mankind.

  • Pastoral Theology Vol 2: The Man of God, His Preaching and Teaching Labors (Albert N. Martin)

    Pastor Albert N. Martin’s Pastoral Theology volume on preaching begins with the articulation of seven basic axioms that apply to every species of biblical preaching and teaching. From there, he moves forward to identify the three basic categories of sermons. Then a working framework for the actual construction of sermons, including introductions and conclusions, is set before us.

    The concluding section focuses on The Act of Preaching itself. In these chapters, such things as the place of emotions, physical action, the use of vocal powers, and the benefits and liabilities of a sermon manuscript are thoroughly discussed.

    The author sets a treatment of these various subjects that is drawn primarily from the contents of the Bible, the insights of general revelation, and the confirming voice of proven guides from past generations.

  • Feathers for Arrows: Illustrations for Preachers and Teachers (Charles Spurgeon)

    Gospel truths are like arrows designed to penetrate the hearts of men. And as Charles H. Spurgeon knew, gospel truths fly straighter and truer when appropriately placed illustrations are used.  In fact, Spurgeon would carry a notebook with him so that he could jot down useful metaphors and anecdotes whenever he ran across them.

    In Feathers for Arrows, Spurgeon offers preachers and teachers access to some of the illustrations that he collected over the course of his ministry. If you are a pastor or teacher and are looking for illustrations, improve your message with choice feathers from the prince of preachers.

  • Charles Spurgeon: Who is the Greatest?

    It was a cold winter’s day in the year 1850, when a young man went into a church, only to escape the bad weather.  But he got more than he planned on for going in there!  The first words he heard were those of an elderly preacher calling out “Look unto me and be saved.”

    The preacher had read Isaiah 45:22 and the young man was Charles Spurgeon.  Charles had heard the gospel message before from his parents at home.  He knew he was a great sinner and that Jesus was the only one who could save him from his sin.  From that day onward, he would serve the Lord Jesus Christ. And sooner than anyone expected, he became a preacher of the gospel of grace.

    Many in England and America looked up to Charles as the greatest preacher they had ever heard.  But Charles knew there was no greatness in himself and that only Jesus is The Great One.  He never thought of himself as more than a needy sinner who was privileged to bring the gospel of God’s grace to others.

  • Ecclesiastes & Song of Solomon (Journible)

    This is the Journibles volume for making your own copy of The Book of Ecclesiastes and The Song of Solomon

    In Deuteronomy 17:18, future kings of Israel were commanded to not simply get a copy of the law, but to hand-write their own copy, for themselves. Centuries later, educators have discovered that students who write out their own notes by hand have a much greater retention rate than simply hearing or reading. Our God knew this long ago! With this idea in mind, the Journibles series has emerged.

    Each book is organized so that you can write out your very own copy of Scripture. Yes, you are the scribe in these volumes! You’ll write the Bible text on the right hand page of the book. On the left side, you are given space to write your own notes and comments.

  • What’s Wrong with Preaching Today? (Albert N. Martin)

    The Christian church today needs a recovery of good preaching. But how is that to take place? In answering this vital question, the author draws on his own experience as a pastor and preacher and on the widespread opportunities he has had to teach and counsel other preachers.

    From Albert Martin, one of the most gifted preachers of our century, What’s Wrong With Preaching Today? contains a searching message which will disturb complacency; but rather than create despair, it challenges all who preach (as well as those who hear) to rise to new levels of faithfulness and usefulness in the service of Christ.

  • The Reformed Pastor: hardcover edition (Richard Baxter)

  • The Reformed Pastor (Richard Baxter) (#14)

    The Reformed Pastor is the result of a lecture Baxter was to deliver to a group of pastors. As it turn out, his health prevented him from attending, but he sent his manuscript to be read to the men. The biblical basis for his call of reform is Acts 20:28. “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.”

  • The Heart is the Target (Murray Capill)

    God’s Word is powerful, and when preached clearly and applied pertinently it can change lives. Yet preaching does not always have this impact; preachers concerned merely with teaching information can leave congregations unmoved, and those who sacrifice substance for relevance skimp on the power of the text.

    To truly change those who hear it, preaching must blend biblical faithfulness and insightful application together. Murray Capill helps all preachers who want to change lives to make their preaching wholly applicable, avoiding the pitfalls of tacked-on application.

    He takes preachers through the living application preaching process—moving the Word of God, via the life of the preacher, to the lives of the hearers—and gives them the tools to systematically explore the application potential of any text. He himself applies this teaching to any preacher’s situation by showing how it works out in some of the specific challenges and situations of preaching.

  • Art of Prophesying (William Perkins) (#23)

    First published in 1592, this book on the importance of preaching is vivid testimony to how clearly understandable Puritan writings remain, even 400 years later! One of the most damaging flaws of modern churches is the decline in importance of what is said from their pulpits.

    Today, a style and delivery which grabs the attention has replaced life-changing content in many churches, and the church becomes an image of excitement concealing a valley of dry bones. True preaching, seen as prophesying forth the Word of God, is needed to breathe fresh life into the people of God.

    Few things are more evident in contemporary churches than the decline in the importance attached to what is said from their pulpits. The deeper tragedy is that in many places the church has become a valley of dry bones. Something is needed to waken the dead and to breathe new life into the people of God. William Perkins (1558-1602) provides basic guidance to help all Christians to read and use the Bible intelligently. He has a particularly powerful message for those who lead God’s people and especially those who preach.

    The Art of Prophesying carries sparks capable of igniting a preacher. It should be beside every minister’s desk as a book to turn to again and again.

  • Simplicity in Preaching (J. C. Ryle)

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

  • The Power of the Pulpit (Gardiner Spring)

    “Gardiner Spring’s The Power of the Pulpit is an old classic on preaching that truly believes in the pulpit. It deserves to stand on every minister’s bookshelf beside Spurgeon’s Lectures to my Students and Lloyd-Jones’s Preachers and Preaching.  I’ll never forget the first time I read Spring’s chapter on a minister’s personal piety; it overwhelmed me, and moved me to tears, to silence, to confession, and to prayer for mercy and help. This is a great book which every minister should read and re-read, if he really wants to get a sense of the magnitude, awesomeness, power, and beauty of his calling.” — Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theology Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan and author of numerous books on the Puritans and preaching
