The Heart is the Target (Murray Capill)
$12.50God’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)
$8.00First 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.

George Whitefield: The Voice That Woke the World
$8.99George Whitefield’s voice was the envy of many a professional actor. He could hold a crowd’s attention like no other! But although he had wanted to be an actor as a young boy, God’s plan was for George to use his voice for much greater things.
After coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior George went on to preach to many people in the United Kingdom, America and the world. He was the first to preach to the slaves of the United States. And it is estimated that he spoke at more than 18,000 sermons during his life.

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.

Sermons of the Great Ejection (#3)
$8.75A 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.

Simplicity in Preaching (J. C. Ryle)
$2.70“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

The Bible Story Handbook (John Walton, Kim Walton)
$23.99“For too long, Christians have been taught Bible stories as stand-alone episodes that provide moral instruction and encouragement based on imitating human characters in the stories. John and Kim Walton provide welcome correction!
The opening chapters show us the real reason for teaching Bible stories—the revelation of God himself—and the big picture of the Bible, into which all the individual stories must fit. Not only teachers of children but anyone who uses Bible stories to teach others should examine his or her use of narrative passages by the guidelines in this book.”

Lloyd-Jones: Messenger of Grace (Iain Murray)
$22.50A fascinating study focusing on three significant themes in Lloyd-Jones’ ministry: true preaching; full assurance of salvation; and the grounds of fellowship between various Christians and their churches. Contains previously unpublished material and a CD of a Lloyd-Jones sermon.
With the death of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, the most powerful and persuasive evangelical voice in Britain for some 30 years is now silent.
Mark Dever, Senior Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington D.C., wrote:
“Martyn Lloyd-Jones is one of the men I admire most from the 20th century, and the longer time goes on, my admiration of him increases. He had a more profound spiritual vision than anyone else I know.”$28.00 -
The Power of the Pulpit (Gardiner Spring)
$14.75“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

Proclaiming a Cross-Centered Theology (Mark Dever)
$10.99Loving, teaching, and rightly dividing the Word of God is every pastor’s privilege and responsibility. If a pastor understands what the Word says about God, man, and the curse, about Christ and his substitutionary atonement, and about the call to repentance and sacrifice, he will develop and preach a sound theology. And sound theology is, in the words of J. Ligon Duncan, essential to faithful pastoral ministry.
Proclaiming a theology that is centered on Christ’s atonement is especially critical, for by this atonement, Christians have been brought from death to life, and by it a church lives or dies. The writers below and more issue a call for faithful proclamation and urge pastors and churches to cross-centered, scripturally saturated thinking.

Preach the Gospel (Martin Rizley)
$2.75Jesus made gospel preaching a priority for Himself, the apostles, and the church. And if we are going to carry out the task of gospel preaching today, we must consider why the Lord committed this sacred duty to His followers.
In this booklet, Martin Rizley winsomely describes the nature, necessity, and manner of gospel preaching so that we will better recognize it as the high priority Christ established it to be. Most ministers, missionaries, and laymen know and affirm these truths when they hear them, but how often do we forget them in the midst of the battle when so many other worthy needs are set before us?

Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ from All the Scriptures (Dennis E. Johnson)
$21.50Challenging modern preachers to expound the Bible like Peter and Paul, Him We Proclaim makes the hermeneutical and historical case for a return to apostolic preaching—preaching that is Christ-centered, redemptive-historical, missiologically communicated, and grounded in grace. But moving beyond theory, this book provides examples of how this method applies to all Old and New Testament genres—history; law; psalm; prophecy; doctrine and exhortation.

The Brokenhearted Evangelist (Jeremy Walker)
$11.50With a gutless orthodoxy, Christians today quickly affirm biblical truth regarding evangelism and mission, but, author Jeremy Walker reminds us, we cannot pretend that we know and believe the truth about men, souls, heaven, hell, and salvation unless it is making a difference in the way we think, feel, pray, speak, and act.
How do Christians develop this sense of urgency to see lost sinners saved? What motivates our evangelism? We must have the character of the brokenhearted evangelist, the David of Psalm 51, who recognizes the greatness of his own sin, looks to God for forgiveness, then recognizes his undeniable obligation to teach transgressors God’s ways.
In an engaging style and with pastoral warmth, Walker urges Christians to exercise their obligation and privilege to teach transgressors God’s ways, providing both spiritual truth and practical guidance for carrying out this necessary gospel duty.

The Preaching of Jonathan Edwards (John Carrick)
$27.50Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) is widely regarded not only as America’s greatest theologian and philosopher, but also as one of her greatest preachers. It is a remarkable fact, however, that his preaching has been somewhat neglected, both in academic circles and in the Reformed churches. Published in the year that marks the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his death, this book successfully straddles the church’s and the academy’s interest in Edwards and supplies that omission.
Dr Carrick demonstrates that Edwards was preaching and writing at a unique moment in history when the Puritan spirit and the spirit of the Enlightenment intersected; he traces the remarkable fall and rise of interest in the great American preacher theologian in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; he interacts, both positively and critically, with the now complete Yale edition of Edwards’ Works and also with the ever burgeoning field of Edwards scholarship; and he cites extensively from Edwards’ sermons, treatises, and Miscellanies in order to demonstrate the power and the profundity of his preaching and thought.
