The Marrow of Modern Divinity
"Both legalism and antinomianism are perennial dangers for the church and for individual Christians. When we begin to think of the Christian life primarily as a list of "dos" and "don'ts," we are under the sway of legalism. When we begin to think that it is okay for us to go ahead and sin, because God will forgive us anyway, we are feeling the temptation of antinomianism.
The Marrow of Modern Divinity proclaims a gospel that can rescue us from both of these dangers. Filled with quotations from the great reformer Martin Luther and from the worthy Puritans, The Marrow emphasizes biblical, evangelical doctrines such as the sovereignty of God in the covenant of grace, the free offer of the gospel, assurance in Christ as the essence of faith, and sanctification by grace rather than by the law. Thomas Boston loved these grace-filled doctrines and discovered that they strengthened his hold on the precious gospel that he lived and preached."

Warfare Witness
"Warfare Witness offers sane biblical guidance for Christian engagement in the invisible war that rages between God and the Devil. In contrast to many misguided strategies for spiritual warfare - one thinks of spiritual mapping, words of knowledge, binding demons, - Stan Gale shows what the Bible really teaches about the attacks of Satan and defending against them. His approach to spiritual warfare is centered on Christ, rooted in church history, and focused on the ordinary means of grace that the Holy Spirit uses to save people in Christ: prayer and the ministry of God's Word."

The Light of the Psalms
These studies in the psalms have been a great help to my soul, and I pray that they will also be a blessing to you. Although the devotionals are short enough to fit into even the busiest schedule, they are rich in their biblical, theological, and practical content. Each chapter explains the context and structure of a biblical psalm. Often there are historical illustrations or contemporary connections that help explain what the psalm means. Along the way, Pastor Ross also shows how each psalm relates to Christ and the Christian life. Many of his devotionals have a personal quality that reflects the spiritual experience of their author. So as you read this booklet, you will come under the warm spiritual care of an experienced pastor.
