PREACHING: HOW TO PREACH BIBLICALLY

“For those of you who want to preach the Word accurately and powerfully because you understand the liability of doing anything less… who are eager to let God speak His Word through you as directly, confrontively, and as powerfully as He gave it… who want to see people transformed radically and living godly lives, there is only expository preaching.”—John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church

JOHN CALVIN: REVOLUTIONARY, THEOLOGIAN, PASTOR
| Williston Walker
"Greater than any other Reformation era figure, John Calvin stimulated the debate, thoughts and ideas that have come to dominate Western culture and society. Dedicated to the reform of the church, and insistent on a literalistic reading of scripture, his influence radically changed the face of Protestantism and Society. Society's abhorrence of corruption in government, and the correspondent lack of it in Western Democracies, is largely down to his work. He was the first major political thinker to model social organization on Biblical principles, one of his most important innovations being the incorporation of the church into city government. As a result, Geneva became the most important Protestant centre of Europe in the 16th Century...
Williston Walker produced this benchmark biography in 1906: it is till the best. Gripping, enlightening and authoritative - you will learn of a man whose theological stance and political philosophy has done much to shape modern Western culture and continues to influence millions of people in the 21st century."
MARTIN LUTHER: THE MAN WHO STARTED THE REFORMATION
| Thomas Lindsay
"Martin Luther's father was a miner with ambitions - he wanted to better himself and provide his children with a good education. Martin upset his father's plans by becoming a monk rather than a lawyer, but by the age of 29, he was a Professor of Theology. In addition to his college duties, he preached almost every day and visited people on pastoral duties - he kept two secretaries very busy. Luther's father, meanwhile, became a town councilor, the part owner of six mines and two foundries and owned a large house in the main street. What happened to make this son of the upwardly mobile establishment into a revolutionary who nailed 95 Theses onto the church door at Wittenberg, affecting not only the whole of the Christian Church but also breaking the power of a European superstate? This is the story of a passionate, flawed and courageous man who loved his family and the people around him; a man who went further in challenging the status quo than any other in history, the man who started the Reformation."

EVANGELICALISM DIVIDED
| Iain Murray
Evangelicalism Divided traces the fascinating saga of the personalities, institutions, and publications involved in the latter half of the twentieth century.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE REFORMATION
| Gary L. W. Johnson and R. Fowler White

LIVING A LIFE OF HOPE
| Nathan Busenitz
Of the three supreme virtues—faith, hope, and love (1 Corinthians 13:13)—hope is the most neglected. The volumes that have been written about faith and love would fill a small library, but solid, in-depth biblical studies on hope are surprisingly rare.

Comprehensively biblical, sound and thorough, yet warm and practical, this is a wonderful resource for pastors and laypeople alike…” ~John MacArthur

THE JOY OF FEARING GOD
| Jerry Bridges
We all want a deeper, more intimate relationship with God—one that’s characterized by joy. But how does fearing God lead to joy?

DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE

EVANGELISM/MISSIONS
BIBLICAL APOLOGETICS
| Clifford B McManis
This volume will be of great help in the restoration of the practicality of biblical apologetics as it was exemplified in the early Church. Hopefully, today's readers will be able to understand and put into practice the true nature of Peter's command in 1 Peter 3:15 as it is strategically situated in its defining context." George J. Zemek, Academic Dean, The Expositors Seminary, Jupiter, Florida
FOR THE SAKE OF HIS NAME

TODAY'S GOSPEL: AUTHENTIC OR SYNTHETIC?
| Walter J. Chantry
Differences between much of today's preaching and that of Jesus are not petty; they are enormous. This powerfully written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.
EVANGELISM AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
| J.I. Packer
If God is in control of everything, does that mean the Christian can sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism simply imply that God is not sovereign at all? J.I. Packer shows in this classic study how false both these attitudes are. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.
LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD: THE SUPREMAECY OF GOD IN MISSIONS
| John Piper
John Piper offers a biblical defense of God's supremacy in all things, providing readers with a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centeredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching "all nations."

PRAYER
| John Bunyan
Two closely related works on prayer by John Bunyan are here brought together. In Praying in the Spirit, he defines what it means to pray with the spirit and with understanding and deals with difficulties in prayer.

THE HOUR THAT CHANGES THE WORLD
| Dick Eastman
More than two million Christians around the world have revitalized their prayer lives through the step-by-step plan of prayer outlined in this book.

LIFE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

“This book is a compendium of wisdom about a neglected topic—churchmanship. Curtis Thomas writes as one who has been seasoned by a life consumed with the study of the Word of God, with years of pastoral experience and the godly maturity of a gracious saint who has run the race and kept the faith. His insights into the nature of the Christian life, the needs of God’s people and the centrality of the church in the plan of God are superlative. This is a great book. If widely read and taken to heart, it will revitalize God’s people and strengthen Christ’s church.” —Dr. Tedd Tripp

THE MASTER'S PLAN FOR THE CHURCH
| John MacArthur
Under the plan God has ordained for the church,” writes MacArthur, “leadership is a position of humble, loving service. Church leadership is ministry, not management. Those whom God designates as leaders are called not to be governing monarchs, but humble slaves, not slick celebrities but laboring servants. The man who leads God’s people must above all exemplify sacrifice, devotion, submission, and lowliness.” ~ GBI Books
NINE MARKS OF A HEALTHY CHURCH
| Mark Dever
"Nine Marks of a Healthy Church" is not an instruction manual for church growth.

THEOLOGY
AFTER DARKNESS LIGHT
| R. C. Sproul
The five points of Calvinism and five "solas" of the Reformation are hallmarks of a Reformed understanding of Scripture. In this refreshing exploration of those truths, ten prominent contributors pay tribute to R.C. Sproul, whose name is virtually synonymous with these treasured Reformed directives.
GOD'S LESSER GLORY
| Bruce Ware
Open theism, which denies that God can foreknow free human choices, dishonors God, distorts Scripture, damages faith, and if left unchecked, destroys churches and lives. Its errors are not peripheral but central. Therefore, I thank God for Bruce Ware’s loving, informed, penetrating, devastating critique of this profoundly injurious teaching. —John Piper Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church
STILL SOVEREIGN
| Bruce Ware & Thomas R. Schreiner

THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD

THE DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION
| James Buchanan
“When justification falls, all true knowledge of the grace of God in human life falls with it, and then as Luther said, the church itself falls…This is still the best textbook on its subject…” ~J. I. Packer
THE HEALING PROMISE
| Richard Mayhue
The Healing Promise is a clear and comprehensive survey of what Scripture teaches concerning God’s divine healing. This must-read book answers key questions like: Does God heal today?

You will also find this book to be a trustworthy resource for counseling others. -Nick Amatuccio
THE NEW COVENANT MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
