ABOVE ALL EARTHLY POW’RS (Christ in a Postmodern World)

352hbk; Inter-Varsity Press

by Wells, David F.; List
Price: £14.99; Our Price: S$24.00

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“In our postmodern
world, every view has a place at the table but none has the final say.  How, as Christian faith adjusts to new
culture, should the church confess Christ?  Above All Earthly Pow’rs,
the fourth and final volume of the set that began in 1993 with No
Place for Truth, paints a picture of the West in all its complexity,
brilliance, and emptiness.  As
David Wells masterfully depicts it, the postmodern ethos of the West is
relativistic, individualistic, therapeutic, and yet remarkably
spiritual.  Wells unabashedly
locates American postmodernism’s roots in the last century’s
waves of immigration—waves that, for all their diversity, have brought
with them numerous new religions and a cultural relativism born out of
confusion and a fear of offence.
Wells also carefully differentiates between intellectual and popular
postmodernism; while few Americans read Foucault or Derrida, nearly everyone
is subject to the permeating flood of TV ads.  Wells’s
book culminates in a critique of contemporary evangelicalism aimed at both
unsettling and reinvigorating readers.
Churches that market themselves as relevant to consumption-oriented postmoderns are indeed swelling in size.  But they are doing so, Wells contends,
at the expense of the truth of the gospel, as the trappings they adopt come
laden with theological consequences.
By placing a premium on marketing, the evangelical church is in danger
of selling authentic engagement with culture for worldly success.”  [From the publisher’s website]

ACTIVE EVANGELISM (How
to Successfully Put the Evangelism of Acts into Practice)

192pbk; Christian Focus
Publications

by Prime, Derek; List
Price: £5.99; Our Price: S$9.00

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“New
theories come and go about methods of evangelism involving psychological
concepts, social theory, marketing models, church growth strategy and obscure
texts applied more widely than intended.
The irony is that we have a model for evangelism staring us in the
face in the story of the early church told by Luke through the book of
Acts.  So, it's time to realign
your thoughts on evangelism in tune to what God has to say.  It's time for ACTive
Evangelism.  Derek Prime guides us
through the book of Acts giving very practical examples of how to do
evangelism in the workplace, with our neighbours,
to our families, as a church and individually.  In each chapter Prime looks at the
context the disciples were ministering in, the challenges they would have
faced, the methods they used, and then applies it to our situation today.”  [From the publisher’s website]

“Addiction—A
Banquet in the Grave is one of the most helpful books providing
practical theology on addictions to come along to date.  It provides, in a very direct manner,
biblical strategies for the church to assist sinners in need of gospel
first-aid.  Vital reading for
anyone in a leadership position in the church, it will be, especially,

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“In an age of family
breakdown, loneliness, and insecurity, we need more than ever to grasp the
meaning of being sons and daughters of our heavenly Father.  Surprisingly, theologians have devoted
little attention to the biblical teaching on adoption.  This book views the many facets of
God’s saving grace through the lens of the Bible’s family imagery.  Combining careful exegesis with
gripping personal stories of father-child relationships, Robert A. Peterson
brings home the warmth and wonder of biblical adoption.”  [From the publisher’s website]

ALMIGHTY OVER ALL (Understanding
the Sovereignty of God)

184pbk; Baker Publishing
Group

by Sproul,
R. C., Jr; US$16.00; Our Price: S$17.50n

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Understanding God's
power and sovereignty helps us perceive our own weaknesses and ultimate
dependence upon him.  Our faith is
grounded and established by what we believe (or don't believe) God is able
and willing to do for us.  In Almighty Over All pastor
and writer R. C. Sproul Jr. methodically addresses various
aspects of God's strength and how a thorough understanding of his sovereignty
adds richness and peace to our lives.
God is ultimately in control, Sproul
asserts, from the tiniest details to the essential implications of salvation
throughout eternity.  Sproul explains that God's unchanging being is the source
of his strength.  God has proven
this sovereignty throughout history, and through his Word he reveals his
strength and control as it relates to sin, the problem of evil, small details
of life, Satan, salvation, sanctification, and eternity.   Those undergoing suffering will
benefit greatly from Sproul's assertions about the
purpose of pain in our lives and how God is still in loving control of all
that happens to us.  Almighty over All also
holds key insights for those uncertain of their salvation.”  [From the publisher’s website]

ALWAYS REFORMING: Explorations
in Systematic Theology

368pbk; Inter-Varsity Press

by McGowan, A. T. B. (Ed);
List Price: £19.99; Our Price: S$32.00

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Although the
Reformation took place in the sixteenth century, this was the beginning of
something and not the end.  The
Reformed churches affirmed the need to be semper reformanda (‘always
reforming’).  Unfortunately,
this commitment to continuing reformation has not been faithfully and
consistently maintained over the centuries.  At one end of the theological
spectrum, some have invoked semper reformanda in order to justify abandoning the core of
Reformation theology and departing from received orthodoxy. At the other end,
some have forgotten about semper reformanda in their progress towards a rigid confessionalism, giving the impression that the final
codification of truth has already taken place, and that there is no further
need for reformation.  Between
these two extremes, there is a vital task to be performed by the church in
every generation: to subject its beliefs and practices to renewed scrutiny in
the light of Scripture.  In doing
so, the church must re-state biblical truth in ways that faithfully
communicate the gospel, advance the mission of the church, and address the
issues which men, women and children face as they seek to follow Christ and
witness to him.  This volume is an
exercise in semper reformanda.  Each contributor was asked to take a
different theme, doctrine or subject area within the discipline of systematic
theology, and to assess the current state of scholarship in that area, before
indicating areas where further work, development, re-statement or
clarification are required.
Overall, this stimulating collection is intended to make a positive
contribution to evangelical scholarship, by helping to identify problems,
dangers and exciting new possibilities, and to set an agenda for future
theological reflection.  The
contributors are Henri Blocher, Gerald Bray,
Richard Gaffin, Richard Gamble, A. T. B. McGowan,
Robert Reymond, Derek Thomas, Kevin Vanhoozer, Cornelis Venema and Stephen Williams.”  [From the publisher’s website]

AMAZING GRACE IN THE LIFE OF WILLIAM WILBERFORCE

80pbk; Inter-Varsity Press

by Piper, John; £4.99;
Our Price: S$7.50

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Against great
obstacles William Wilberforce, an evangelical Christian and a member of
Parliament, fought for the abolition of the African slave trade and against
slavery itself until they were both illegal in the British Empire.  Many are aware of Wilberforce's role
in bringing an end to slavery in Great Britain, but few have taken
the time to examine the beliefs and motivations that spurred him on for
decades.  In this concise volume,
John Piper tells the story of how Wilberforce was transformed from an
unbelieving, young politician into a radically God-centered Christian, and
how his deep spirituality helped to change the moral outlook of a
nation.  As world leaders debate
over how to deal with a host of social justice and humanitarian crises, a
closer look at Wilberforce's life and faith serves as an encouragement and
example to all believers.”

ANGER & STRESS MANAGEMENT GOD’S WAY

119pbk; Calvary
Press Publishing

by Mack, Wayne; US$14.95; Our Price: S$17.50nett

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“What is the biblical and God-glorifying way to handle
anger and Stress?  Anger and
stress are perhaps the most defining aspects of our world today.  There are many ways of handling stress
and anger: You can get increasingly angrier and more stressed out, you can
resort to drugs and alcohol, you can turn violent, you can retreat into your
own world and become cold and distant—or you can react God's Way!  Dr. Wayne Mack, one of the most
well-known and trusted Christian counselors of our time, puts his years of
experience and Bible knowledge to work for you in this book!  In it, he tells you not just how to
handle anger, but the root causes of anger.  By doing this, Dr. Mack helps you to
better understand why your reactions to stress, and its accompanying anger,
are usually the result of "not getting what we think we need."  He then goes on to explain how to
restructure your thinking to make your reaction more Christ-like.  If you've ever struggled with anger,
if you've ever been so stressed out that you don't know where to turn, then
let this book, guided by the Scripture, change your life—forever!”  [From www.timelesstexts.com]

is not a self-help book based only on Ann's experience, though her experience

applies them to people seeking to be Biblical parents in a child-centred society.
This is also no dry Bible study that looks at principles without any
grounding in reality, she takes six key concepts: accept, beware,
communicate, discipline, evaluate and fear the Lord and expands on them with
practical advice and understanding sensitivity.  At last a parenting book with Biblical
authority and easy to understand application!  Each short, punchy chapter will make
you want to wake them up and try some of her ideas!”  [From the publisher’s website]

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“A
clear and vigorous challenge to preachers and laymen to remain persistent in
sharing the gospel with unsaved people.
The book is split in two parts: (1) The promise of duty.  How does Christ make men fishers of
men?  Why are unconverted men
compared to fish under water?  In
what ways are ministers fishers by office?  (2) How may I come by this art?  What following Christ supposes and
implies.  In which way is Christ
to be followed?   This is a
classic explanation of the Puritan approach to evangelism that is also an
encouragement for anyone explaining the gospel to someone else.”  [From the publisher’s website]

ASSURED BY GOD (Living

224pbk; P&R Publishing

US$12.99; Our Price: S$13.00

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Nothing stimulates
Christian service more than humble assurance of God’s saving
grace.  Many of us are immobilized
by lingering doubts about our salvation or, worse, by a false security.  Is assurance of salvation reserved for
the super-spiritual?  Is it a sure
sign of presumption?  What are the
benefits of assurance, and the dangers of an unsure faith?  Separating truth from error, and
viewing assurance in relation to its larger family of biblical doctrines, the
contributors to this volume demonstrate its significance for grateful,
productive Christian living.
Contributors and topics include: (1) Burk Parsons: Our Sure Foundation; (2) Philip Graham Ryken:
Assured from Beginning to End; (3) R.
Albert Mohler Jr.: Guarded through
Faith; (4) Richard D. Phillips:
Assured in Christ; (5) Sinclair

“Your heart is who you are on the inside.  It is what
you think, your motives and your desires.  Transformed heart attitudes
such as a high and proper view of God, humility, love and gratitude are a
grace-work of God in the life of Christians as they learn from the Scriptures
a biblical view of God, man and sin.  Maturing in godly heart attitudes
requires grace from God as well as work on our part for our minds to be
transformed to think God-honoring thought and to truly discern unbiblical
philosophies.  Attitudes
of a Transformed Heart will challenge your thinking and help you to
honor and glorify God.”
