When Grace Transforms

When Grace Transforms
"A magnificent interpretation of the Beatitudes alongside that of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Sinclair Ferguson, John Stott and James Montgomery Boice, to name only the more recent ones. My "Sermon on the Mount' note book is now crammed with Johnsonisms--pithy one-liners that get to the heart of what Jesus meant by adorning the righteousness of the kingdom of God. Those who know him as I do can 'hear' him preach these powerful and convicting sentences. This is where preaching and teaching needs to go. A marvelous book which I cannot recommend too highly."

The Good Book Guide

"Healthy doctrine expressed in a fresh way."

The Marrow of Modern Divinity

When Grace Comes Home

When Grace Comes Home
'He manages to make theology what it ought always to be: God honouring and rigorously practical....at the same time this book urges Christians to grow in grace. A book we have needed for some time. I cannot recommend it highly enough.'

 

5.

Preaching for Revitalization

Preaching for Revitalization
'A clarion call on the need for biblical preaching by a seasoned and effective preacher designed to encourage preachers to preach better, to God's glory and with a view to seeing the Holy Spirit pour forth blessing. I highly recommend it as vital reading for every preacher.'

 

6.

Spirit of Truth

Spirit of Truth
"In a topic usually known more for its disagreements, Jackman steers a sure-footed course through the main lines of thought about the Holy Spirit. Every Christian should be a theologian of the Holy Spirit and this book will greatly help us in this goal. It carries us along, with skillful and pastoral insight, to a greater appreciation for the third Person of the Trinity."

Doc Talk

Doc Talk
'Larry Dixon has a marvelous facility with words, making profound concepts appear straightforward. Covering the entire scope of Christian theology as he does, the reader is teased along to richer territories effortlessly. For Christians who want a primer on the basics of Christian theology, this is the book to read.'

The Light of the Psalms

The Light of the Psalms
Mike Ross, provides the sure touch of a seasoned pastor, an insightful biblical scholar and a watchful shepherd as he takes us through these songs of Zion. Get ready to burst into song!

 

9.

The Bond of Love

The Bond of Love
‘Covenant Theology is a way of understanding the entire biblical message from Genesis to Revelation as essentially one theme. It covers everything, and anyone who writes on it must not only be familiar with biblical themes, but must also be able to integrate historical, systematic and practical theology in such a way that what results is comprehensive and comprehensible. McKay manages to all of this with breathtaking ease. I have been waiting for over twenty years for such a book. This is it.'

 

10.

The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper
"A veritable tour de force ...which will be of interest to the entire church. MacLean's handling of the subject is comprehensive and sure-footed, delving into practical areas of frequency and observance as much as the theological principles that underpin the Communion Service. A timely and important book that will aid in the rediscovery of importance and function of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the life of the church"

 

11.

A Method for Prayer

A Method for Prayer
Who of us hasn't had trouble with prayer at some time or another? And here is a God-sent solution: Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer. This book is worth its weight in gold (platinum?). No one utilizing this book can fail to profit from it.

 

12.

Daniel

Daniel
"What can you expect from this book? Well, God-centered, Christ-focused, gospel-infused exposition for starters. In addition: textually driven, careful exposition based on a belief that every word of Scripture is Spirit-breathed; illustrative material that opens windows to fresh air and light; and passion - that those who read it will become aware of the riches of the gospel and the Spirit-filled, Jesus shaped lives that ought to be the pattern of all who, like Daniel, love the gospel and live as though they do"

 

13.

The Wages of Spin

The Wages of Spin
"Essential reading even if some of the blows come home all too easily. The church needs this prophetic analysis of our self-centered churches and organizations."
