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.

Believers’ Evidences for Eternal Life (Francis Roberts)
$19.50We have all experienced it: that moment when Satan whispers in your ear, “You aren’t really a true Christian or you wouldn’t think or behave like that.” It is one of our enemy’s most effective tactics to spread uncertainty and render God’s people ineffective with self-doubt.
But how do we know we are a Christian? Roberts writes, “to be in a gracious state is true happiness. But to know ourselves to be in such a state is true happiness doubled upon us.” Roberts book will lend some help to Christians to discern their spiritual state and make your election and calling sure (2 Pet 1:10).

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.

Building a Godly Home, Vol 2: A Holy Vision for a Happy Marriage (William Gouge)
$13.00For years, William Gouge’s Domestical Duties has stood as the foremost Puritan treatment of Christian family life. Yet due to its size and antiquated expression, it has become almost unknown among current generations of believers. To help revive the usefulness of this classic book, Scott Brown and Joel R. Beeke have divided Gouge’s work into three manageable volumes, updated the language to modern standards, and have given them the title Building a Godly Home.
In this second volume, A Holy Vision for a Happy Marriage, we find detailed counsel about the most important relationship in the family—husband and wife. Gouge carefully addresses what a fit marriage is and the proper way to enter into one. He then discusses the mutual duties married couples share in order for marriage to survive and thrive, as well as the duties specific to men and women respectively.
Not only does he give detailed treatment of how these responsibilities are best expressed and too often hindered, but he also provides ample biblical motivation to set us on the right course. Christian husbands and wives will find much encouragement in this book.

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 Case and Cure of a Deserted Soul (Joseph Symonds)
$11.50In The Case and Cure of a Deserted Soul, Joseph Symonds (d. 1652) explores the nature, causes, and treatment of spiritual depression — a state that arises when God seems to hide his face, leaving the Christian to walk alone in a “dark night of the soul.” In Symond’s word, every aspect of this painful experience is examined with a surgeon’s precision, a philosopher’s insight, and the Word of God’s wisdom on how to gain a firmer footing and emerge from this melancholy hour with renewed strength and vivacity.
Previously out-of-print, this classic treatise has been carefully prepared for the benefit and enjoyment of a new generation of Christian readers.

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).

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.

Worldly Saints: The Puritans As They Really Were (Leland Ryken)
$17.50Dr. Ryken’s presentation of the Puritan view and style of life is perceptive and accurate. He allows them to speak for themselves on topics ranging from the subjects of church and worship, to money, to marriage and sex. While recognizing that the Puritans were imperfect, as all men, and able to see their faults, the author still paints a favorable and sympathetic portrait of them overall.

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.

El Misterio de la Providencia (John Flavel)

A Heavenly Conference Between Christ and Mary (Richard Sibbes) (#48)
$7.25A Heavenly Conference is Richard Sibbes’ exposition of the memorable meeting that took place on that first Sunday, when the risen Christ met Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb. Though only a few words were exchanged between the Lord and Mary, Sibbes saw in them the gospel in a nutshell.
A Heavenly Conference is a wonderfully original treatment of the doctrine of the believer’s union with Christ. It is written by a loving and tender-hearted pastor whose main aim is to help believers enjoy the comfort that comes from knowing that Jesus’ God and Father is our God and Father too. ‘For from this, that God is our God, cometh all that we have that is good in nature and grace. Whatsoever is comfortable cometh from this spring, that God in Christ is our God, our reconciled God.’
Without such assurance, we simply cannot live Christian lives as God would have us. God would have us thankful, cheerful, rejoicing, and strong in faith: but we will be none of these things unless we are sure that God and Christ are ours for good. Here, then, are pastorally vital truths that Sibbes seeks to work into us.

The Way to True Happiness: Pocket Puritans Series (Ralph Venning)
$4.80Puritan 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.

A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life (J. I. Packer)

“Dr. Packer has blended theology, biography, history, and practical exhortation in a book that is a delight to read. But even more, the book speaks to our contemporary church situation and causes us to search our hearts and examine our ministries. Whether you are just getting acquainted with the Puritans or are a long-time friend, A Quest for Godliness will instruct and inspire you. Here is solid spiritual food that contributes to maturity.”

Christ Set Forth (Thomas Goodwin) (#47)
$9.25First 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.

A Guide to Christ (Solomon Stoddard)
$12.50Written by Solomon Stoddard, grandfather of Jonathan Edwards, to instruct ministers how to work with those who were under conviction of sin, and who were seeking God, in order to lead them to Christ rightly.
Stoddard experienced several seasons of genuine revival during his pastorate at Northampton, Massachusetts. He had observed how the Spirit of God worked in the lives of men during these times. He, more than almost any other person of his day, knew the twists and turns of the human heart. He was not fooled by presumptuous hopes and false religious affections.

The Acceptable Sacrifice (John Bunyan) (#35)
$7.25A 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.
