Endorsements

1.		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."

2.		The Good Book Guide "Healthy doctrine expressed in a fresh way."

3.		The Marrow of Modern Divinity "The Marrow of Modern Divinity is one of the most important theological texts of all time"

4.		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.'
