  • Charity and Its Fruits (Jonathan Edwards)

    Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions, this volume, Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his regular pulpit ministry in the years between the Northampton revival of 1735 and ‘the Great Awakening’ of 1740.

    Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like his better known book, The Religious Affections, reveals Edwards’ insistence both that true Christian experience is ‘supernatural’- Spirit produced and Christ centered- and that ‘all true Christian grace tends to practice’. These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other.

    The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writings.

  • Josiah’s Reformation: Cultivating and Maintaining a Tender Heart (Richard Sibbes) (#46)

    This book is as relevant today as when first published in 1629. Our busyness and activism so easily degenerate into a hypocrisy in which we keep up all the appearance of holiness without the heart of it. Christians even use Christ as a package to pass on to others, instead of enjoying him first and foremost as their own Savior. But true reformation must begin in the heart, with love for Christ. And that can only come when the free grace of God in Christ Jesus is preached. Reading Sibbes is like sitting in the sunshine: he gets into your heart and warms it to Christ.

  • All Loves Excelling (John Bunyan) (#24)

    All 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.

  • Jonathan Edwards on Knowing Christ

    Jonathan Edwards is widely recognized today as perhaps the greatest of all North American thinkers and philosophers. Such was the depth and power of his intellect that annually new books and articles on his work come into print. But Edwards was supremely a Christian thinker. His great goal in life was to know and glorify God through Jesus Christ and to encourage others to do the same. Consequently it is in his sermons that we find the real heart of the man.

    Here he is thinker, herald, pastor and theologian all in one. This selection of ten of Edwards’ sermons provides a fine sample of the God-centeredness of his ministry. In them he shows the seriousness of man’s sinful condition, the riches of Christ’s grace, and the marvels of the Christian life. To read Edwards is, almost invariably, to be led into the presence of God. That was the great aim of his preaching, and echoes of it will be heard in reading these pages.

  • The Danger of Prosperity (William Bates)

    William Bates (1625-1699) was a much-loved and highly esteemed Puritan pastor who played a key role in the restoration of King Charles II. Appointed a royal chaplain, he preached at St. Dunstan-in-the-West until forced out by the Great Ejection of 1662. Eventually he settled over a dissenting congregation at Hackney near London, where he spent the remainder of his life in fruitful ministry.

    In The Danger of Prosperity, Bates insightfully teaches Christians how wealth, honor, and fame often contribute to the downfall of the unwary. He challenges his readers with the tender encouragement of a shepherd to carefully consider the ways in which the abuse of prosperity is both deadly and destructive. He provides numerous helps that Christians who enjoy God’s hand of blessing can use to avoid its sinful abuse and improve it to God’s glory and their eternal advantage.

    This classic work has been carefully prepared for the enjoyment of a new generation of Christian readers. Previously available only as part of a “complete works” lithograph from the early 19th century, this new edition includes a biographical preface by James Marsh.

  • A Guide to Prayer (Isaac Watts)

    In 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)

    For 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)

    The 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 Love of Christ: Sermons on the Song of Solomon (Richard Sibbes) (#44)

    The 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.

  • Redeeming the Time: A Christian Approach to Work & Leisure (Leland Ryken)

    Do you feel guilty when you aren’t working?  Have you swallowed the lie that you cannot glorify God, when at rest, even in relaxing times of enjoyment?  In Redeeming the Time, Leland Ryken explores topics about the Christian life addressed by no other writings that we know of.

The result is one of the most informed and practical studies on our day-to-day activities.

  • A Heavenly Conference Between Christ and Mary (Richard Sibbes) (#48)

    A 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)

    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.

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

    J. I. Packer has had a long-standing passion for the Puritans. Their understanding of God and His ways with man has largely formed his own spirituality and theological outlook. In this book, he calls upon a lifetime of study to share with his readers the rich world of Puritanism.

    “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.”
