PROPHET OF THE COMING DAY OF THE LORD
The Message of Joel

Robertson, O. Palmer 

For such a short book the prophecy of Joel deals with weighty matters that continue to have significance even today. The certainty and severity of God's judgements that are to fall first on God's own people and then on all the nations of the world, and the prominence of the Day of the Lord in the purposes and plans of God, all display the lordship of God in human history. Joel reminds the people of the divine summons to heart felt repentance and the glorious truth of the consummate blessing of the Lord in the renewal of the earth by the outpouring of his Spirit on men and women, young and old, Jew and Gentile.

SAVING A FALLEN WORLD
Luke Simply Explained

Bentley, Michael

At the heart of Luke's Gospel is the truth that God sent his Son to 'seek and to save what was lost'. More than any of the other Gospel writers, Luke shows us the Lord dealing with individual people and how their lives were changed as a result of their personal encounter with him. These people came from all ranks of society: the rugged fisherman, the poor widow, the wealthy tax collector, the ruler of the synagogue, the Roman centurion. As the only New Testament writer who was not a Jew, Luke consciously writes his account for Gentiles as well as Jews, showing that the message of the Gospel is for all kinds of people in this fallen world.

Philippians Simply Explained

Bentley, Michael

'Chained [Paul] might be, yet this joyful prisoner of the Lord never wrote more warmly nor more wisely than in this letter to his friends in Philippi ... Yet the apostle is not blind to faults, even of loyal brethren for whom he has a special affection. Evidently there was some dissension in this lively Christian community, due to personal jealousies and animosities. Unfortunately the same can be just as true today. The gospel is still at times preached from motives of selfish ambition and rivalry. All of us are still inclined to look after our own interests only. And fine Christian workers ... are still quarrelling ... Be warned by this letter, be guided by it and be refreshed by it.' P/B, 192 pages

The Message of Jude

Benton, John 

 

In a society where the claim that we can know absolute truth is dismissed as ridiculous, and moral standards are disregarded if they interfere with personal enjoyment, the church is under threat in two ways. Tired of swimming against the tide, it can be tempted to throw away its commitment to biblical standards of behaviour and to the uniqueness of Christ as the only Lord and Saviour in the quest for social acceptability. At the same time, in a longing to see God at work in revival and the desire to be seen to be successful, Christians may be open to accept anything that causes a sensation and attracts a crowd, even if it departs from the biblical gospel.

The epistle of Jude was written to combat false teaching which in many ways encapsulates all the worst dangers to the church and the biblical gospel today. John Benton urges his readers to regain Jude's vision of contending for the faith, not just at the intellectual level, but at the level of responsible Christian living and practical, loving Christianity for those led astray.

Storm Breaks, The
Welwyn Commentary Series
STORM BREAKS, THE
Job Simply Explained

Thomas, Derek

The book of Job is the harrowing story of a man whose life changed so dramatically in the course of a few short days. It is about the problem of suffering and the answer to the problem is not seen in the comments of Job's counsellors but more importantly in his response to suffering. The book of Job teaches us how to respond to difficulties in our lives.

 Job's acceptance of his loss is a model of piety. When Job responds with questions and even a measure of bitterness and anger, his frustration is always taken directly to God. Job never lost faith, he is a model of cross-bearing and he teaches us to persevere even in the incomprehensible ways of God in our lives.

Straightening Out the Self-Centred Church

STRAIGHTENING OUT THE SELF-CENTRED CHURCH
The Message of Titus

Benton, John 
 

 

Many Christians are uneasily aware that there is a gap between their conscious commitment to the Lord Jesus and their practical, day-to-day living. This does not always arise from conscious disobedience to the Lord. Often sincere Christians find that this gap is opening up in their lives and they are rather bewildered by it. Something is happening which they do not quite understand, and they are not sure what to do about it.

This dichotomy between belief and behaviour is the central theme of Paul's letter to Titus and the epistle has much to say to our generation of Christians today. As Paul writes to Titus, he is well aware of the problem. But he has a sure and firm answer. The apostle provides us with spiritual dynamite to blast a way out of prison of subjectivism and self-centred living into the freedom and integrity which are ours in Christ.

Titus is not just a book for trainee pastors, elders and Christian leaders. It is a book which has an urgent message for us all.

Strengthening Christ's Church Welwyn Commentary Series
STRENGTHENING CHRIST'S CHURCH
The Message of 1 Corinthians

Ellsworth, Roger 

Paul's first letter to the Corinthians was directed to a deeply troubled church in the midst of a very challenging world. The problem was that the church was contaminated by society's sins and confused in its thinking.

If this sounds hauntingly familiar it is because it hits perilously close to home. Today's church finds herself in a frightening secular world, one in which paganism is aggressive and militant. Opportunities are great but the church often seems to be as contaminated and confused as the church at Corinth.

Paul's letter to a clarion call to the Christian's in Corinth and to Chrisians today to come away from contamination and confusion and to function as salt and light.

Exodus Simply Explained

Bentley, Michael 
 

'Among other things, [the book of Exodus] tells of God's miraculous rescue of his people from Egypt, the institution of Israel's greatest festival, the Passover, the provision of God's law and the building of the tabernacle, which was the forerunner of the temple. In the New Testament there are many references made to the book of Exodus. An understanding of this exciting book will give us a better grasp of the attributes of God and of his wonderful plan of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.'

'Michael Bentley … provides a clear, organized exposition of Scripture. His down-to-earth style helps students of Scripture, both preachers and their congregations, to grasp the meaning of the text without unnecessary difficulty.'

Hosea & Obadiah Simply Explained

Bentley, Michael 
Foreword by Jackman, David 

 

The prophecies of Hosea and Obadiah, along with the other so-called 'Minor Prophets', are all too frequently overlooked by contemporary Christians, and we are much the poorer as a result.

The weakness of the churches in our generation is largely due to our ignorance of the character of God. Nowhere in the Bible is that character more clearly expounded than in the ministry of the prophets. If the church neglects to listen to God's word of self-revelation through them, we shall be condemned to a superficial sentimentalism in our view of God, which will inevitably be blown away, like dust, in the storms of life. 

Both Hosea and Obadiah came to teach the unchanging character of the covenant LORD to a deaf and careless people. In the midst of all the uncertainties and unpredictability of the tides of human history, the rock of God's sovereign immutability stands, immovable and totally dominant. That was what God's people needed to know then and it is exactly the same message which Christians today need to hear and heed.

Here is a commentary which is a sure guide to these two remarkable Old Testament books. Preachers will find it a useful resource for the pulpit, and ordinary Christians who desire to live faithfully for God will benefit greatly from its instruction.

The Message of the Acts of the Apostles

Keddie, Gordon J. 
 
 

 

Christians have always found the book of Acts to be enjoyable, exciting and encouraging. Here we find our own 'roots' as the followers of Jesus and learn what it means to be citizens of heaven while living upon the earth. If the Gospels tell us what the gospel is, Acts tells us what the gospel does.

Acts is first and foremost the history of the work of the Holy Spirit in the church. It brings together two great promises of 'another Counsellor', who would lead the disciples into all truth and the Great Commission to preach the gospel to the whole world in the assurance that he would be with them always, 'to the very end of the age'.

Acts is also the record of costly campaigning against a fiercely resistant enemy, over the eternal destiny of lost men and women. The sounds of battle echo from almost every scene. But so also does the scent of victory, as lives are changed and the light of Christ spreads from nation to nation!

As the book of Acts closes, the work still goes on. The fulfilment of Christ's commission continues today as his followers take up the unfinished task: ' You will be my witnesses ...to the ends of the earth.'

What in the World is a Christian? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A CHRISTIAN?

Blanchard, John 

 

In these days of religious confusion many people are asking. 'What in the world is a Christian?' Because of a lack of teaching, or a superficial approach to Scripture, or a restless chasing after mystical 'experiences' they are unable to give an adequate answer to this question. In this book John Blanchard attempts to do so. The author is convinced that there is no substitute for straightforward biblical teaching in order to produce healthy, balanced and progressive Christians. P/B, 192 pages

What You Need to Know About Salvation WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SALVATION
A Day-By-Day Guide to the Christian Faith

Jeffery, Peter 
 

If you want to know what it means to become a Christian this book is for you.

We all have our own ideas about God that are the product of half-truths and our experience. But our thoughts and feelings are not enough. When it comes to our relationship with God we need the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The only source of truth about god is God himself. So real, saving faith comes as we hear and respond to what God has to say in his Word, the Bible.

Peter Jeffery has chosen a series of twenty-one daily readings from the Bible which highlight for us the basic truths that we need to know about salvation.

This book will also be of help to new Christians in understanding what has happened to them.

Whatevern Happened to Hell? WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HELL?

Blanchard, John 

 

Nobody can think seriously about hell and remain emotionally and psychologically unaffected. The idea that after a few years of life on earth an untold number of human beings, many of whom would be thought of as decent, law-abiding citizens, will spend eternity in indescribable agony and exposed to God's relentless anger is overwhelming.

Reaction to the paralysing prospect of everlasting punishment varies from those who dismiss the whole idea because they reject the authority of Scripture to those who seek to soften its impact by reducing hell to damageable proportions.

What does happen after death? What if the traditional pictures of hell as a place of endless punishment and suffering are true? What if millions of ordinary men and woman are on their way there? What if we are? And if so, is there any way in which we can avoid hell or evade it? These are vitally important questions and this book sets out to find answers to them.

Which Way to God? WHICH WAY TO GOD?

Jeffery, Peter 
 

Many systems of religion and lifestyle claim to bring a person to God, but they say conflicting things and they point in different directions.

Is there really a way which leads absolutely and certainly to God? Yes, there is, and this booklet shows you how to be sure you are on the right way.

Who Are the Puritans WHO ARE THE PURITANS... AND WHAT DO THEY TEACH?

 Hulse, Erroll

 

Who were those great people of faith, the Puritans? When did they live? What did they accomplish? What did they teach? Erroll Hulse seeks to introduce modern Christians to the finest theological inheritance ever. His concern extends beyond narrating the story. He wants to create enthusiasm for the Puritans in order to profit from their practical example and benefit from their unique balance of doctrine, experience and practice.

The author reminds the reader that the Puritans were men of deep theological understanding and vision who prayed for the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Historically the Puritan epoch is best able to supply the teaching that engenders holy living and stability. They were strongest where the churches in general are weakest today.

It is my pleasure to recommend this new introduction to the Puritans by one who has long mined in these quarries.

You Might Have Asked YOU MIGHT HAVE ASKED... ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

Olyott, Stuart 
 

Life is seldom easy. Most people, at some time or other, have to face difficulties, problems and question to which there do not seem to be any clear answers:

         Is there any purpose to man's existence?
         What has gone wrong with the world?
         Can we be sure that God exists?
         Can the Bible be trusted?
         Does it really matter what I believe?
         What happens when I die?

Life is not a meaningless existence, and we therefore need clear directions to point us in the right way. This book seeks to give such directions and to answer some of the many questions which 'You Might Have Asked'.

The author points the reader to Christ. He does not attempt to explain every turn and slope on the pathway to faith, but simply tells us where to begin. This book is a starting point for those who are asking serious questions about the Christian faith.
