$13.75$16.00
One may go to heaven without earthly comforts,
but will not go without self-denial.
We have a natural tendency to fight for our rights and to exert our own will. We have been taught to look out for number one. Yet Jesus clearly said that the first step in following Him is to deny ourselves (Luke 9:23). In this classic treatise, Thomas Watson reminds Christians of their sacred duty of self-denial by explaining what it is and demonstrating how its every act asserts the supremacy of Jesus Christ.

The Art of Divine Contentment (Thomas Watson)
$12.50One of the great old Puritan classics, and one of the most readable, by an author skilled in the art of illustration as few men in history have been. Few lessons are more difficult or necessary for the Christian than learning contentment of heart, in the abounding and abasing changes of life. And few are more qualified to provide sound biblical counsel in this area than Thomas Watson.
One of his most popular writings of all time, this explains what real contentment is and how to obtain it. While laying the axe to the root of such sins as envy, covetousness, murmuring and discontent, he provides helpful instructions for cultivating a disposition of humility and trust in our God’s providence in our lives.

All Things For Good (Thomas Watson) (#17)
$8.75First published in 1663 by the title A Divine Cordial, Watson simply but profoundly explains how God does in fact make all things – good and bad things – work together for the good of His people. By far the most useful explanation of Romans 8:28 ever written.
Watson said that two of the greatest obstacles he faced as a pastor were:
1) To make unbelievers sad, so they recognize their need of God’s grace, and:
2) To make believers joyful, in their experience of God’s grace!He wrote this book to make an effort to undo the second difficulty: by explaining Paul’s teaching in Romans 8:28. As for his own experience, Watson wrote this the year after he and 2,000 other ministers were expelled from the Church of England, and thus exposed to much hardship and suffering. This is the rich exposition of a faithful man who lived in circumstances when only faith in the Word of God could bring him such a confidence.
