Washed by God: The Story of Baptism (Karl Deenick)
$14.50$17.99
“Whatever you believe about baptism, this valuable book will give you many generous doses of biblical theology, biblical evidence, theological cohesion, and pastoral clarity. It is theologically deep and highly practical. Heartily recommended.” — Peter Adam, Principal of Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia
Baptism is a subject which has caused confusion amongst Christians for many years. Jesus included it in his final charge to the disciples. It is clearly important, so why do we spend so much time arguing about it? Baptism is a God–given sign, not to obscure the gospel, but to make it clearer.
Karl Deenick explains not only what baptism is, what it isn’t, and who should be baptized, but he follows the threads of symbolic cleansing through both the Old and New Testaments. He explains and exalts the gospel and shows how the Old Testament foreshadows Jesus and how he fulfils the Old Testament.

Washed by God
The Story of Baptism
Baptism is a subject which has caused confusion amongst Christians for many years. Jesus included it in his final charge to the disciples. It is clearly important, so why do we spend so much time arguing about it? Baptism is a God–given sign, not to obscure the gospel, but to make it clearer.
Karl Deenick explains not only what baptism is, what it isn’t, and who should be baptized, but he follows the threads of symbolic cleansing through both the Old and New Testaments. He explains and exalts the gospel and shows how the Old Testament foreshadows Jesus and how he fulfils the Old Testament.
Endorsements
“Washed by God opens up fresh angles on baptism, no matter which side of the issue you stand on. But what makes this book particularly valuable is that it not only stimulates rigorous thought about baptism in a very accessible way; it does so opening up wonderfully rich perspectives on the gospel itself – the glorious gospel that baptism points to.” — Murray A. Capill, Principal, Reformed Theological College, Victoria, Australia
“Deenick weaves together a host of biblical texts on circumcision, sacrifice, covenant, and the Holy Spirit, in order to demonstrate that, more than anything else, baptism is a sign of the gospel and of the community gathered around Jesus. If you’re tired of hearing the same arguments on baptism reheated and served as leftovers, this book is for you.” — Joe Barnard, Psator, Holyrood Evangelical Church, Edinburgh, UK

$10.36Dennis Gundersen’s unique treatment of this rarely addressed subject can make the difference between parents who participate in their child’s deception and presumption, or parents who truly guide him to eternal life. If a small child tells us he thinks he’s saved, do we take his words at face value? How do we test his profession, especially without seeming to doubt the child and discourage him? Many have found this book the most useful guide ever written on the topic.

Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church (Don Whitney)
$13.50‘You’re worth it.’ ‘You deserve a break today.’ ‘Do something nice for yourself.’ Commonly heard phrases in this society are committed to self-gratification and individual rights. Doing things for other people is a waste of precious time, and asking for help is weak. So how do we build the church described in the Scriptures? In this day and age, how can we be a genuine community based on self-sacrifice and mutual commitment?
In Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church, seminary professor, author, and former pastor Don Whitney shows us how to build a sense of community and be active participants instead of passive attendees. Whitney looks at such frequently asked questions as: Why can’t I get by on my own? Why should I go to church? Why should I give of myself to the church? Why do I need to worship in church? Couldn’t I just worship in nature? Why does it matter whether I become a member of the church?
Committed love must mark the local expression of the body of Christ. By putting spiritual disciplines into practice in the church, congregations can return to the depth of community present in the New Testament church, where they ‘devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.’
