Endorsements
“This book is a treasure of helpful ideas and insights for helping parents answer the call of Jesus to ‘let the little children come to me.’ Not only will children be blessed by God as they actively engage in congregational worship, but God will be blessed by children who come! This children’s book will be so helpful for intergenerational congregations who desire the experience of ‘one generation shall laud God’s works to another.’ ”
— Robbie Castleman, Professor Emeritus, Theology & New Testament Chair, John Brown University and author of Parenting in the Pew: Guiding Your Children into the Joy of Worship
“Here we are reminded in a fresh way of the great blessing of the Lord’s Day. May this book and its message help families to appreciate the privilege of public worship and come to know the Lord of the Sabbath.”
— Carine Mackenzie, Inverness, Scotland. Author of Psalms for My Day: A Child’s Praise Devotional
“Worship is an essential part of the rhythm of a Christian’s life. Yet some of what happens on Sundays can be confusing to children. William Boekestein’s book explains in simple language the pattern and heart of worship each Lord’s Day. Even more, he helps children see how Sunday truly is the best day of the week.”
— Christina Fox, author of several books including A Holy Fear: Trading Lesser Fears for the Fear of the Lord and Tell God How You Feel: Helping Kids with Hard Emotions.

A Month of Sundays: 31 Meditations on Resting in God (Glenda Mathes)
In today’s hectic and distressing world, demands and distractions agitate our spirits. Disasters trigger anxiety. Diseases generate pain. Despair creeps into our hearts. These influences displace our peace and keep us from resting daily in Christ and His Word. How can we recapture the concept of daily rest?
In A Month of Sundays: 31 Meditations on Resting in God, author Glenda Mathes encourages us to pause our spinning thoughts and calm our fluctuating feelings as she helps us to see that we must be true Sabbath keepers, understanding that God has called us to develop daily the attitudes of worship and rest we enjoy on Sunday.
With a recommended Scripture reading, a focus verse (or verses), a meditation, and questions aimed at stimulating personal reflection, each devotion guides us through a “month of Sundays,” as we experience a greater enjoyment of God’s gift of daily rest while we anticipate His guarantee of eternal rest.

A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith – 5th edition (Samuel Waldron)
The best edition ever of Samuel Waldron’s work on the 1689.
Modern Christianity is awash in a flood of doctrinal relativity. Satan and his forces love the imprecision and ambiguity which are rampant in our day. As C. H. Spurgeon observed, “The arch- enemy of truth has invited us to level our walls and take away our fenced cities.”
This exposition was originally published in 1989 to mark the 300th anniversary of the publication of the Second London Confession, which also became known as the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. Today, Reformed Baptists worldwide hold this Confession in high esteem and many churches continue to regard it as their official statement of faith. In this extensive exposition, the author Sam Waldron shows that the 1689 Confession is a masterly statement of the historic Christian faith. He writes in a direct and lucid style that will help ministers, students and laymen alike to a clear understanding of this Confession and to its relevance and application to our modern age.
