GREAT GOD OF WONDERS The Attributes of God Jeffrey, Peter
|
When we first become Christians we are thrilled with the Lord
Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross. Also, to a degree, we appreciate
that we could never have been saved without the work of the Holy Spirit.
But for many of us the majesty and glory of god the Father remain a mystery
as yet unfathomed.
If we were to ask the question, 'What is God like?' the answer of Scripture would be that he is not like anything at all. He is so gloriously unique that any attempt on or part define God, apart from what is revealed, will inevitably result in us entertaining thoughts about God that are unworthy of him. This book is written to help those beginning the Christian faith to see something of what God has revealed in Scripture about himself. The attributes of God do not belong to the realm of theory; they are not mere doctrines that have no bearing upon the Christian's daily living. Rather they are most practical and enriching. |

HE IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY Discovering Christ in the Song of Solomon Ellsworth, Roger
|
This is the best work on Christ and his church from the Song of
Solomon that I have ever read. It is enjoyable reading. It is true to the
Scriptures, doctrinally sound, instructive on so many vital subjects, and
yet it is written in such language and with such devotion and warmth that
all believers will not only understand what they read, but enjoy reading
about their Lord and his church.
Pastor Ellsworth writes, 'The true minister is Christ-centred.' That is true and that statement describes this book - Christ-centred! The introduction states that the Lord Jesus 'showed us that we are to read the Old Testament looking for him. He is its subject and, therefore, the key to its understanding.' In this book, Pastor Ellsworth puts that key in the hands of every reader. Henry T. Mahan, Thirteenth Street Baptist Church, Ashland, Kentucky |

HE SPOKE IN PARABLES
Keddie, Gordon J.
|
As long as the world lasts, the parables will call people to faith
in Christ. Their very simplicity shines brightly with the gracious invitation
to repent, to believe and to be reconciled to God, through the same Jesus
who first uttered them so long ago.
In this contemporary study, Gordon Keddie seeks to retain the essential simplicity of the parables by the lightest touch of exposition, allowing them to live and move and touch our being with a vibrant immediacy and unmistakable clarity.

HELP US TO PRAY
Thornbury, John
|
We know just how the disciple felt when he asked, 'Lord, teach
us to pray'''' There can be no area in our Christian life that causes us
such heart-searching. Where is the power in our prayer? Will our prayers
be heard and will God answer them? We want to pray and know we should pray,
but we rarely seem to get started, let alone become persistent in prayer.
We need help!
By looking to the teaching and example of the Lord Jesus Christ, John Thornbury seeks to show us where we can find the help we need. A right understanding of the Lord's teaching can be a doorway to a new experience of delightful communion with the Father and leads us to a more dynamic prayer life. |

HOLINESS Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties & Roots Ryle, J. C.
|
The author states in his introduction: 'I have had a deep conviction for many years that practical holiness and entire self-consecration to God are not sufficiently attended to by modern Christians in this country. Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background. The standard of living has become painfully low in many quarters. The immense importance of "adorning the doctrine of God our Saviour" and making it lovely and beautiful by our daily habits and tempers has been for too much overlooked... sound... doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless: it does positive harm... It is my firm impression that we want a thorough revival about scriptural holiness.' | P/B, 352 pages Price: $17.0 |

HOW SHALL THEY HEAR? Church-Based Evangelism Jeffrey, Peter
|
Western civilization has produced a culture that cares little
or nothing for God. for many people today biblical Christianity is a joke,
as outdated theory that is no longer relevant, and being born again has become
a term of disdain. Only one thing is going to change all this, and that
is for men and women to be truly saved and made new in Christ.
It is no use mourning over the way the world thinks of God if we do nothing to make him real to men and women who are dead in their sin. The purpose of this book is to help believers see their God-given responsibility to evangelize a lost world and at the same time to see evangelism as both a privilege and a joy. |

HOW TO BEHAVE IN CHURCH A Guide to Church Life Jeffery, Peter
|
If every
member was just like me, what kind of church would my church be?
Would it be a more prayerful church? Would it be more concerned for the lost and more pleasing to God? To expect our church to be any more spiritual than we are is hypocritical. The church is made up of individuals just like us. For the church is people, God's people. We are a redeemed people, but we are not a perfect people and, therefore there are many problems in the church and most of Paul's letters were written to deal with church problems. In 1 Timothy Paul tells us how we are to conduct ourselves when we come together as Christians. The church is God's does this with love and care, and these standards cover various things from our attitudes to our dress. Even in our daily work we are to conduct ourselves in such a way 'that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered'. From the starting-point of Paul's first epistle to Timothy, Peter Jeffery shows how the New Testament teaches the value and importance of the local church. He considers Paul's teaching on the God of the church, the members and leaders of the church and examines such practical issues as how to listen to preaching, problems in the church, the role of women and our attitude to money and Christian giving. |

HOW TO LIVE IN A DANGEROUS WORLD Biblical Pictures of Modern Perils Ellsworth, Roger
|
Our televisions and newspapers bombard us with dangers threatening our economy, our environment, our educational system and more, but the greatest dangers we face are spiritual ones. The dangers which worry us the most are often able to damage us only here and now, but mistaken beliefs can lead to eternal ruin. Roger Ellsworth identifies many of the major beliefs and values of our day, finds Bibe characters who shared the same perspectives and discovers where those beliefs and values led them. The author wants to know what we may learn from those who have gone before us and how we may avoid falling into the same pitfalls as they did. The result is a fresh understanding of the grace of God which enabled others to overcome the very real dangers they faced and which is still more than sufficient for every one of us living in our dangerous world. | P/B, 256 pages Price: $12.0 Sorry, this title is temporarily out of stock. |

INVITATION TO LIVE An Up-to-Date Version of a Timeless Classic by Richard Baxter Blanchard, John
|
In 1658 the famous English preacher Richard Baxter wrote a book
entitled A Call to the Unconverted, regarded by many as the greatest book
on Christian conversion that has ever been written. It was translated into
several languages and was thought to have been the means of bringing thousands
of people to a living faith in Christ.
To commemorate the 300th anniversary of Baxter's death in 1691, John Blanchard, and internationally known British evangelist, who is himself the author of a number of best-selling Christian books including Right with God, Truth for Life and Ultimate Questions, has written Invitation to Live. Based on Baxter's work, it has the same serious, earnest and urgent message. It pleads with the reader to be ruthlessly honest in examining his spiritual condition, tells him of God's amazing love, and urges him to accept God's invitation to receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. It also leaves him in no doubt about the alternative. |

the Lord Jesus Christ? How well equipped are they to defend their belief
in Christ against the attacks of members of the cults who come knocking at
the door?

JOURNEY IN GRACE, A A Theological Novel Belcher , Richard P.
|
A young pastor's search for the answer to a question which started
him on a voyage of discovery in the biblical truths of God's grace.
This story of a pastor's theological quest is far more than a cold theological presentation. His search from beginning to end is set in the context of real life situations that we have all met in our own Christian lives. His room-mate at college, the professors, the churches he pastors and his experiences in them, his friends, his fiancée are all interwoven into this interesting and surprising story. Here is a refreshing way to learn and understand some of the great truths of Scripture. |

JOURNEY TO THE CROSS God's Amazing Plan of Salvation Ellsworth, Roger
|
The Cross is the focal point of human history. When it was raised
against the sky, it split history in half. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says of the
cross of Christ, 'It was a most momentous hour since the beginning of the
world, it is indeed the turning-point which determines everything - it is
the greatest event, the most ...climactic event that has ever taken place
in this world... That is the hour to which the whole of prophecy is looking
forward, and to which the whole of the church, and her doctrine and history
look back.'
In this book Roger Ellsworth traces Jesus' steps to and from the cross, beginning with the plan of God in eternity, through the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament to the coming to earth of the Son of God, and on to the future glory when the whole of creation will join in acknowledging that Jesus is Lord of all and the theme of worship for all eternity will be the salvation which he accomplished on the cross. This book will help to restore something of the sense of awe and wonder which is so often largely missing from churches today and will cause us to take a new look at our priorities both as individuals and as churches. A deeper understanding of the work of Christ on the cross will also go a long way towards combating the lack of assurance felt by many Christians and will stimulate a response of greater faith in, and love to Christ. |

LIFE OF JOHN CALVIN, THE A Modern Translation of the Classic by Theodore Beza Beza, Theodore
|
The study of the life and thought of John Calvin is not merely
the study of a figure who once graced the scene of history, but is also
an important means of gaining a deeper understanding of the present. Even
though comparatively few read Calvin's works today, his thought is subtly
woven into the texture of modern Western society. Such diverse areas as the
modern market economy, American civil religion and the French language, not
to mention contemporary evangelicalism, have all been decisively shaped by
the life and ideas of this Frenchman who has been rightly described as 'the
theologian of the Reformation'.
And although there have been a veritable multitude of articles and books on Calvin's life and thinking, this one by Theodore Beza retains a distinct uniqueness. It is the earliest life of the Reformer and was written within weeks of Calvin's death. Moreover, its author was one who intimately shared Calvin's labours and who, with Calvin and a band of other godly pastor, sought to create a Christian community in Geneva that would be known throughout Europe as a mirror of apostolic Christianity. As such, Beza's biography of his friend contains invaluable insights about the pathway of reformation and renewal. |

LORD'S SUPPER, THE
Jeffery, Peter
|
'Peter Jeffery gives important and wise pastoral assistance to
those who are young in the faith. This book on "the Lord's supper" may serve
as a primer explaining language necessarily used repeatedly in this special
ceremony of worship. He touches on important questions that many will ask,
pointing to balanced and biblical answers which avoid unfortunate extremes
of practice into which some have fallen... Mr Jeffery's book should be a
fine aid for you to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ"' (2 Peter 3:18).

MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD, A The Story of Martin Luther Cromarty, Jim
|
On 31 October 1517 a lone monk pushed his way through the crowds milling around the streets of Wittenberg, a small university town in eastern Germany, and made his way towards the church. Arriving at the church door, he nailed to it a list of ninety-five propositions, or theses, in a formal gesture inviting the townspeople to a public debate. At the time very few people took much notice of his actions, but within a few weeks people throughout Europe were discussing the contents of those theses and a chain of events had been set in motion which would have profound effects for the whole of Western Europe, and beyond, for centuries to come. That monk was Martin Luther. | P/B, 304 pages Price: $13.5 |

OVERCOMING LIFE'S DIFFICULTIES Learning from the Life of Joshua Jeffery, Peter
|
‘Napoleon once said that the main quality which made up a great
army was not bravery. (Soldiers only have to be brave about 10% of the time.)
Rather it was the ability to endure hardship and deprivation and yet still
persevere. Peter Jeffery shows from the book of Joshua that God enables
his people to do all this — and so much more.
Peter Jeffery knows God and knows God’s Word. His speciality, as a man called to be a shepherd of God’s flock, is to feed Christ’s sheep. Those who are humble members of God’s church will find food for their souls and encouragement to persevere in the fight against sin, Satan, self and this fallen world. You will come away glorying in Christ and the privilege of being a Christian. I know of no better place to begin to learn this great book of God’s holy Word.’ Steve Martin,

PITY MY SIMPLICITY A Confession in Defence of the Simple Truth That Has Been Complicated in Our Age Wilson, John
|
The author of this book does not profess to be a theologian. He
is a member of the flock of God; a simple sheep looking for good shepherds
to lead him to the green pastures and still waters of biblical truth. He
tells us why he cannot follow the clever shepherds who lead him into the
concrete paths and plastic pastures of what passes for 'modern theology'.
He knows that much of what he says will be dismissed with an impatient wave of the crook, but his position is that of a simple sheep who believes the Bible. Although occasionally satirical, this book is not naive. It will stimulate thought. Rather than being a lone bleat in the wasteland of our age it is hoped that this may be a voice from the heart of the flock, a timely warning to some wandering sheep. |
