Galatians

A Mentor Expository Commentary

Terry L. Johnson

The author presents for us the truth of the gospel, unearthing the central message that righteousness can only be obtained through justification by faith.

A Family Worship Guide to Luke

Geoff Gleason

The older Protestant authors frequently urge the practice of what they called "family religion," seeing it as a vital plank in God's program for the revival of vital Christianity. May we see a renewal in our day of this much neglected spiritual discipline, as Gleason guides the "little churches" that meet in homes through the Gospel of Luke.

If I were to recommend one book for those who are to lead in public prayer, this would be it. Can we pray 'according to Scripture'?

Henry's Method, which is really just traditional Protestant public prayer, will revolutionize the prayer life of any individual or congregation that studies it.

Something Worth Living For

God, the World, Yourself, and the Shorter Catechism

Randall Greenwald

The Shorter Catechism is one of those ‘treasures in the attic,’ as the late Dr. Hughes Old called them, that in more recent years have been re-discovered, brought down into the living room, dusted off, and re-utilized. It is a classic tool for parents who wish to transmit the content and reality of their faith to their children. Part of the dusting off process includes fresh expositions addressed to the living situation of the present generation. Randall Greenwald has done the church the favor of providing that fresh exposition. It will prove to be an effective aid to parents and Sunday school teachers who wish to communicate the gospel to the young people of today.
