Forty Days on the Mountain: Meditations on Knowing God by Stephen Smallman
160 pages | List Price: $12.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Do you long to know God deeply as your God, Father, and Friend?
Whether you are a new believer or have been a Christian for many years, this is what God wants for you—to experience his presence. And he wants you to desire this too.
If you’re not sure where to start, try learning from a man who spoke with God face to face. Moses met God in a startlingly personal way when God introduced himself by name from a burning bush. In the years that followed, God repeatedly proved his holiness, loyalty, and love for his people . . . and Moses had a front-row seat.
Sit alongside Moses through forty meditations that delve into God’s rich, unfolding self-revelation and point to a glorious new covenant with Christ at its center. You’ll learn what it means to pursue God’s daily presence in your life, and, in doing so, discover reasons to love him as you ought.

SUMMARY
Do you feel discouraged—even defeated—in your battle against sin?
Are you dismayed or surprised by the situations that bring out your fear, anger, or distress?
Elyse Fitzpatrick delves into the heart of the problem: deep down, we’re all idol-worshippers who put our loves, desires, and expectations in God’s place—and then suffer the consequences of our misplaced affections. Yet God loves his people and can use even our messy lives and struggles for his glory.

Black and Reformed: Seeing God’s Sovereignty in the African-American Christian Experience by Anthony J. Carter
160 pages | List Price: $13.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
African Americans have a rich and compelling Christian heritage that stretches back to foundational church figures such as Augustine and Tertullian. Yet too often they are expected to embrace a Eurocentric theology that marginalizes their unique experiences and traditions.
In this pioneering work, Anthony Carter draws black and Reformed theology together, showing how Reformed theology addresses African- American experiences such as the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade. He also explores ways that an explicitly black theology can enhance our understanding of God and his Word, no matter our ethnicity.
This retypeset edition of On Being Black and Reformed adds a foreword by Thabiti Anyabwile, an interview with the author, and discussion questions for each chapter.
ENDORSEMENTS
“As an African American, I am delighted with this book. It will serve as an excellent introduction to Reformed theology for the emerging black Reformed community. I anticipate that it will be a great resource for church planters and anyone else seeking to reach the black community.”
—Anthony B. Bradley, Author, Liberating Black Theology
“When I met Anthony Carter several years ago, I detected a rigorous mind, a righteous concern for racial justice, and a Reformed vision of God—a rare combination. Since then I have wanted to be a listener. Now this book makes that easier. May the Lord of nations use it to shape a powerful movement of God-centered Christians from all peoples who have tasted suffering.”
—John Piper, Founder and Teacher, desiringGod.org

Church Revitalization from the Inside Out by Robert D. Stuart
256 pages | List Price: $15.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Is your church suffering, and you’re not sure why? Church planter and professional interim pastor R. D. Stuart encourages church leaders to examine the different ways that they themselves may be exacerbating the problem.
Unfortunately, flawed leadership is a big cause of ailing churches today. The good news is that God gives us the humility and ability to change. With forthright prose and practical examples from his own experiences, Stuart diagnoses different leadership failures and prescribes treatment for them. Along the way, he tackles making tough decisions; striving for unity; taming gossip; cultivating humility; and loving even the hard-to-love sheep. Ultimately, Church Revitalization from the Inside Out will help ministry leaders to strengthen their churches as they grow in faithfulness.
ENDORSEMENTS

—Michael W. Honeycutt, Senior Pastor, Westminster Presbyterian Church
“Bob Stuart . . . diagnoses the sickness in the church, exposes the practice of poor church leadership, and prescribes the cure. Leaders, pastors, and church planters are encouraged to read this book, which will help them become the leaders they were called to be.”

Christian Theistic Evidences, Second Edition by Cornelius Van Til and edited by K. Scott Oliphint
288 pages | List Price: $19.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
When defending Christianity, we often play by man’s rules, letting secular science and philosophy determine the cards we’re allowed to bring to the table. But can we effectively defend the primary authority of Scripture if we start with other sources of authority that relegate it to minor status from the outset?
K. Scott Oliphint provides a foreword and explanatory notes in this retypeset syllabus, originally from Cornelius Van Til’s famous Christian Evidences class at Westminster Seminary. Van Til argues for the defense of a pure, full-fledged Christianity, unadulterated by a scientific methodology founded on non-Christian assumptions. He offers us instead a Christian philosophy and methodology for defending the faith that presupposes the absolute authority of the triune God of Scripture.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Critics of Van Til often complained that in Van Til’s presuppositionalist apologetics there was no room for the use of evidences to verify the Christian faith. But Van Til often said that evidences were an important part of apologetics. . . . Christian Theistic Evidences is Van Til’s philosophy of fact, his philosophy of science, and as such it should interest everyone who seeks to understand Van Til’s work.”
—John M. Frame, Author, A History of Western Philosophy and Theology
“Christian Theistic Evidences represents Cornelius Van Til’s first, revolutionary statement of presuppositional (or covenantal) apologetics. It contains all his major statements against the pretended neutrality of fact, of reason, and of foundations. Dr. Oliphint’s masterful annotations clarify and enhance the beauty of the text. His introduction is pure gold. This is must reading for anyone who wishes apologetic method to be consistent with sound theology.”
—William Edgar , Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary
About the Author
Cornelius Van Til (1895–1987) was born in Grootegast, the Netherlands, and immigrated with his family to America in 1905. He attended Calvin College and Calvin Seminary before completing his studies at Princeton Theological Seminary and Princeton University with the ThM and PhD degrees.
Drawn to the pastorate, Van Til spent one year in the ministry before taking a leave of absence to teach apologetics at Princeton Seminary. When the seminary reorganized, he was persuaded to join the faculty of the newly founded Westminster Theological Seminary. He remained there as professor of apologetics until his retirement in 1975.
Van Til wrote more than twenty books, in addition to more than thirty syllabi. Among his best-known titles are The Defense of the Faith, A Christian Theory of Knowledge, and An Introduction to Systematic Theology.
What about Free Will?: Reconciling Our Choices with God’s Sovereignty by Scott Christensen
304 pages | List Price: $17.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Christensen explains two views that acknowledge God’s sovereignty and its relation to human responsibility: compatibilism and libertarianism. Providing cogent, biblical answers, Christensen argues for compatibilism and shows how it makes sense of evil, suffering, prayer, evangelism, and sanctification. You will gain a deeper understanding of both arguments, as well as a greater appreciation for the significant role that choices play in God’s work.
ENDORSEMENTS
“A clear, intelligent, immensely helpful overview of one of the most confusing conundrums in all of theology. . . . Scott Christensen doesn’t sidestep the hard questions. The answers he gives are thoughtful, biblical, satisfying, and refresh- ingly coherent. Lay readers and seasoned theologians alike will treasure this work.”
—John F. MacArthur, Grace Community Church
“Careful in description and argument . . . eminently readable. . . . Most important of all, this book breathes a spirit of wonder and gratitude before the face of a God who is not only all-powerful but good.”
—Michael Horton, Westminster Seminary California
“Many think that free will is the silver-bullet answer to some of theology’s most difficult questions. But do we have a free will? Short answer: it depends on what you mean by ‘free.’ Long answer: read this book.”
—Andrew Naselli, Bethlehem College and Seminary

God’s Design by Sally Michael & Gary Steward
120 pages | List Price: $16.99 | Color Illustrated | Making Him Known series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
This full-color guide teaches children about God’s design for men and women. In easy-to-understand language, parents will be able to teach their children how God made us in his image, how sin distorts God’s good design, and how they can pursue godly manhood and womanhood. Each chapter explores what the Bible teaches about husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, marriage and singleness, and more. As children discover the beauty in God’s design, they will learn to be thankful for how they are made and to glorify God in how they treat others of the same and different gender. Each chapter includes application questions and activities.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Has God made you a boy? That is a good gift! Has God made you a girl? That is a good gift! God is all wise, and his plans are all good. We can trust his design, and we must embrace it in order to grow in God-honoring masculinity and femininity. These essential truths propel Sally Michael and Gary Steward’s excellent book God’s Design. They have written a user-friendly, Scripture-saturated guidebook to help parents to teach their children about being created male and female, in language that is easy for young children to understand, while still challenging older children and even parents to embrace God’s plan for their gender with joy and thanksgiving. This is an essential resource for Christian families in an increasingly sexualized and gender confused culture.”
—Candice Watters

John Frame’s Selected Shorter Writings, Volume 3 by John M. Frame
392 pages | List Price: $22.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
John Frame’s Selected Shorter Writings, Volume 3 includes more than thirty short, pointed essays, sermons, and addresses that summarize some of John Frame’s central (and sometimes peripheral!) ideas about the nature and method of theology, theological issues, epistemology, apologetics, the church, and ethics. Part 1 includes “Machen’s Warrior Children,” Frame’s insightful treatment of twenty-one intramural battles within the Reformed camp from 1935 to the present. Other essays introduce clarifications of theological concepts, intended to resolve or alleviate conflicts in the church, on topics such as biblical inerrancy, Open Theism, law and gospel, and the roles of grace and law in sanctification. There are also essays about Biblicism, presuppositionalism, apologetics, the regulative principle, and contemporary worship music.
ENDORSEMENTS
“John Frame is certainly one of those ‘dangerous theologians.’ Of course, that means he is mild and loving, even as he confronts error boldly and builds the necessary biblical-theological frameworks for our times. He covers many important topics with our necessary standards for accounting (cf. Heb. 4:12–13). We see more of the sea lanes traversed as he pursues that Great White Whale of biblical truth applied!”
—Andrew J. Peterson, President, Reformed Theological Seminary, Global Education
“In comparison with the ‘feast’ of John Frame’s major works, these are the ‘nuggets.’ They still offer vintage Frame, and I heartily recommend them for their wisdom, balance, and incisiveness. Some have a more personal, informal tone and will usefully complement Frame’s major writings, especially for those who want to understand the connection of his writings to the person behind them.”
—Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Theological Seminary; Editor, Westminster Theological Journal
“A veritable cornucopia of Frame’s theology. . . . Frame is not afraid to slay sacred cows . . . if he believes they don’t pass biblical muster. Whether you have never read Frame before or have read all that he’s written to date, this book will inform, intrigue, encourage, edify, rouse, and convict you.”
—P. Andrew Sandlin, President, Center for Cultural Leadership

184 pages | List Price: $14.99 | Best of Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology (PCRT) series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
We were all created to worship, but our worship runs amok, and we pour out our praise and affection before false gods. Meanwhile, we all too often go through the motions of worship as we join others in the pew on Sundays. Who can restore us and make us the worshipers we are supposed to be? Only God himself.
Contributions from: D. A. Carson, Charles Drew, Bryan Chapell, Michael Haykin, Michael S. Horton, Joseph “Skip” Ryan, Richard D. Phillips, R. Albert Mohler Jr., Philip Graham Ryken

Severe Compassion: The Gospel According to Nahum by Gregory D. Cook
256 pages | $14.99 | Paperback | Gospel According to the Old Testament series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
With dramatic, vivid detail, the poetic masterpiece of Nahum shows that God refuses to abandon his rebellious people when they stray into destructive paths—instead responding to spiritual adultery with love and power. The application to our own lives may hit close to home, but there is also abundant gospel hope: Jesus’ severe compassion leads him to relentlessly pursue his people for their salvation.
As he explores the prophet’s message, Gregory Cook aids our understanding of Nahum with historical background on its cultural references, literary allusions, and poetic devices, making this book a useful resource for pastors and Bible study leaders as well as laypeople.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Greg . . . has done the hard work of digging into the Hebrew text; he has gleaned insights from scholars and learned about the world and time in which Nahum wrote; he has sat with and listened carefully and humbly to the text; he has seen and appreciated how it speaks about and points to Jesus.”
—Elizabeth Groves, Lecturer in Old Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gregory D. Cook (PhD, Westminster Theological Seminary) has been the pastor of Providence Presbyterian Church (PCA) in West Virginia and the youth and college pastor at Evangelical Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Delaware.

Unshakable: Standing Firm in a Shifting Culture by K. Scott Oliphint & Rod Mays
160 pages | $12.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
How do we love those who are suffering or speak to the overwhelmed? Do we show tenderness and compassion to others? We have a hope to hold on to and to hold out to others—how do we explain it?
In today’s society, truth claims are suspect, and many stand on the shaky ground of relativistic postmodernism. Yet Christians cling to a lasting treasure that cannot fade or disappoint. Rod Mays and K. Scott Oliphint delve into John Newton’s great hymn “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken”—and into the gospel truth of Scripture behind it—in search of timeless, biblical answers to questions and issues that daily press us in our Christian walk: What should guide us? What do we need in life? How do we engage with others, or even with technology? What does faith in Christ look like as we struggle with sin? Includes discussion questions. Previously published by Crossway as Things That Cannot Be Shaken.
ENDORSEMENT
“Full of things that we today need urgently to take to heart.”
—J. I. Packer

Song of Songs by Iain M. Duguid
216 pages | $22.99 | Hardcover | Reformed Expository Commentary series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Although the presence of the Song of Songs in the Bible may sometimes puzzle us, its place in Scripture means that it is God-breathed and useful to instruct all Christians—no matter their relationship status or time of life.
Pastor-scholar Iain Duguid steers a middle way between allegorical and literal approaches to the Song of Songs, showing that this book’s celebration of the love between a man and woman can not only shape our thinking about human relationships but also give us profound insight into the love that Christ has for his bride, the church.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Here Iain Duguid is the expositor, the biblical theologian, the pastor, the counselor, and—quite often!—the surgeon. This exposition is vintage Duguid—sneakingly convicting and awash in grace. He lures me to oversimplify: if someone asks me how best to prepare for marriage, I will be tempted to say, ‘Study the Song of Songs and read Duguid’s commentary.’ ”
—Dale Ralph Davis, Minister in Residence, The First Presbyterian Church of Columbia, South Carolina
“Perhaps we’ve been as insecure about tackling the allegorical and literal interpretations in this song as we may be in our own relationships. Not anymore! This commentary will prove that of all the songs written to explore the age-old questions of love, the Song of Songs is the one that we cannot and do not want to get out of our heads.”
—Aimee Byrd, Author, Housewife Theologian and Theological Fitness
“So is the Song of Songs really about sex or Jesus? Iain Duguid steers a wise and pastoral path between those simplistic choices. He demonstrates how this poetic book on the excellencies of human love is not merely a practical marriage guide nor an allegorical representation of the coming Christ. Rather, this book . . . provides divinely inspired insights into the blessings and weaknesses of human love in order to point us toward the goodness and necessity of the grace of God, whose love is perfected in Christ alone.”
—Bryan Chapell, Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, Illinois
“Duguid’s Song of Songs is not your typical commentary. Though based on solid scholarship, it is completely pastoral in tone, easy to read, and rich with insights. Dr. Duguid’s pastoral experience anticipates the modern reader’s experiences and concerns. . . . Song of Songs teaches us to appreciate the beauty of married sexual love, while at the very same time enriching our understanding of God’s love for us.”
—Winston T. Smith, Faculty and Counselor, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation, Glenside, Pennsylvania
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Iain M. Duguid (PhD, University of Cambridge) is professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. He has written numerous works of biblical exposition, including Esther & Ruth in the Reformed Expository Commentary series, Ezekiel in the NIV Application Commentary series, and Numbers in the Preaching the Word series.
Political Science by Cale Horne
48 pages | $4.99 | Booklet | Faithful Learning series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Many Christians think of politics in terms of daily headlines, newsfeeds, sound bites, and talking heads—or as an ideological battleground cluttered with winners and losers. Much, much more is going on. The academic field of political science is an empirically based, theoretically driven social science that addresses human endeavors of a political nature. Political scientists create hypotheses and test them using data and carefully selected research methods, and understanding their findings in light of God’s common grace will change the way we work in government, journalism, the military, and other fields. Cale Horne overviews the discipline; presents a Christian framework for approaching political science; and illustrates the potential for faithful learning in and through the study of politics.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cale Horne (MA, University of South Carolina; PhD, University of Georgia) is associate professor of political studies at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where he has taught since 2011.
Chemistry by Daniel R. Zuidema
56 pages | $4.99 | Booklet | Faithful Learning series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
God has given human beings many different gifts and talents. What if your talents and interests lie in the field of chemistry? As a Christian, you may feel that studies in chemistry are valid only if you are planning to use them as part of an overtly Christian career. But this view leaves a lot out of the picture.
Our creator God speaks in the language of chemistry. Recognizing this, Christian chemists bring a powerful, necessary worldview to this discipline. Step by step, Daniel Zuidema guides you in cementing this worldview as the foundation for excellent, God-glorifying work in a fascinating field of science. Engage with chemistry in a way that helps others, serves the church, and shows profound appreciation for God’s created order.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

40 pages | $4.99 | Booklet | Faithful Learning series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Many Christian musicians enter college without a clear understanding of the discipline of music or how it might deepen their love for God and their commitment to Christian service. In this invitation to the subject, the themes order, meaning, and function provide a biblical framework for thinking about the central questions of the discipline, pointing to ways in which Christians may faithfully and responsibly enter into its practices. For students considering a major in music or just looking for ways to increase their engagement with the discipline, this booklet not only provides a Christian perspective but promotes reflection on the call to serve as musical agents of renewal in God’s world.

—Starr Meade, Author, Training Hearts, Teaching Minds: Family Devotions Based on the Shorter Catechism
“A family devotional teaching the most important truths in the world in simple bite-size chunks with up-to-date illustrations and stimulating questions. Why didn’t someone think of this before? I commend this excellent resource to all Christian families.”

The Revolt: A Novel in Wycliffe’s England by Douglas Bond
272 pages | List Price: $11.99 | Paperback | Sample Chapter
SUMMARY
As a secretary at the battle of Crécy, Hugh West’all has come close to death many times in his short career. But when he leaves the war behind to enter the stone halls of Oxford, he meets John of Wycliffe and soon embarks on a mission even more exciting—and perhaps just as dangerous. Using his scribe’s quill to translate the Bible into English, the language of the common people, Hugh begins to understand the beauty of the gospel as never before. But he and his friends are not safe. The corrupt and decadent church is planning to choke Wycliffe’s translation and silence him forever.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Douglas Bond uses his unique writing style to produce a highly readable imagining of the travails of John Wycliffe, the 14th century ‘heretic’ who dared to make the eternal truths of the Bible accessible to the marginalized people group of his day: English peasants. This vivid and exciting narrative reminds us of the very real challenges to Bible translation over the centuries and of the importance in carrying out the work he started.”
—Bob Creson, President and CEO, Wycliffe Bible Translators
“The gilded histories often fail to note how extraordinary times invade ordinary lives. Douglas Bond paints the days of John Wycliffe in full color, showing that the Morningstar rose over filthy streets and jaded lives—and brought real hope to hearts in bondage.”
—Jeremiah W. Montgomery, Author, The Dark Harvest Trilogy
“The Revolt is a feast for the senses filled with accounts of battles, deception, heartache, integrity, and devotion.”
—Chuck Bentley, CEO, Crown Financial Ministries

256 pages | List Price: $12.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
God sustains and reigns over all his created order.

Resolving Conflict: How to Make, Disturb, and Keep Peace by Lou Priolo
320 pages | List Price: $15.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Many Christians see conflict as a dirty word—something wrong to be avoided at all costs. After all, aren’t Christians to be peacemakers who strive to maintain unity? But, as Lou Priolo reminds us, many other things that the Bible exhorts us to do—including its commands to convict, rebuke, and admonish other Christians—make conflict a necessary part of the Christian life.
Lou takes us through the biblical principles of conflict resolution, beginning before conflict even starts. He shows us the prerequisites we must have as we go into conflict, what is at the heart of our conflict, when it is biblical and unbiblical, and how we should respond to it. He also shares practical steps and advice, giving us specific talking points to resolve conflict and journaling exercises to help us to grow when it happens. Learn how to “make every effort” to maintain unity—even when that effort involves conflict first!
ENDORSEMENT
“Conflicts are like forest fires. If you can put them out while they’re still small, you can save an enormous amount of time and effort. That’s why this book is so valuable: it provides simple, biblically sound, and incredibly effective insights for resolving conflict in its earliest stages, when it still involves only two people. If you learn and practice these principles, you will spend more time enjoying the people around you—rather than fighting prolonged relational fires.”

Prophet, Priest, and King: The Roles of Christ in the Bible and Our Roles Today by Richard P. Belcher Jr.
224 pages | List Price: $16.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
The Bible tells us that Christ has three “offices”—those of Prophet, Priest, and King. Viewed alongside his humiliation and exaltation, they provide a fully rounded understanding of his work and insight into the ongoing roles of the church.
In this biblical theology, Richard Belcher explores and defines the basic functions of prophets, priests, and kings through an analysis of key Old Testament texts before discussing their fulfillment in Christ and how they are carried out today by the church, its leaders, and individual believers.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Belcher’s impressive treatment of these offices in their biblical- theological setting is essential reading in understanding their comprehensive nature. This book deftly combines biblical and pastoral insight that is most welcome in furthering our understanding of Scripture and the person and work of Christ.”
—Derek W. H. Thomas, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia
“With wisdom, clarity, and grace, Belcher guides the reader to a richer and fuller vision of Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King.”
—Michael J. Kruger, President and Samuel C. Patterson Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte
“Belcher’s work points us all toward the importance of keeping the centrality of Christ in view as we address the manifold challenges that Christians face as we long for his return in glory.”

How Should We Treat Detainees?: An Examination of “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” under the Light of Scripture and the Just War Tradition by J. Porter Harlow
184 pages | List Price: $39.99 | Paperback | Reformed Academic Dissertations series
ABOUT
During the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the American government authorized “enhanced interrogation techniques” to obtain answers for potentially life-threatening situations from those in custody of U.S. forces. Harlow argues that this policy was contrary to Scripture and the just war tradition established by Augustine, Calvin, Murray, and Ramsey. Here Harlow:
– explains the background of “enhanced interrogation techniques” used on detainees.
– details how historical prohibitions against torture, violence, and sexual and religious humiliation during interrogations were violated.
– demonstrates how those prohibitions are consistent with Scripture and the just war tradition.
– shows how the support of these interrogation techniques by prominent theologians conflicts with the just war tradition.
– encourages Christians to use the same criteria for decisions about national security policy that they use for other moral issues.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Brings a sharp and analytical legal and theological perspective to a difficult and contested topic. Offering a biblical critique of enhanced interrogation techniques and working within the centuries-old framework of the just war tradition, Harlow shows that hard questions can be answered and that, in a world of gray, black and white does exist.”
—Timothy J. Demy, Professor of Military Ethics, U.S. Naval War College
“Porter Harlow has written a richly informed, morally compelling treatise on one of the signal ethical issues of our day. The treatment of the weak and the outcast is a sure test of a nation’s character—and who has less status than a prisoner of war?”
—Daniel M. Doriani, Vice President of Strategic Academic Initiatives and Professor of Theology, Covenant Theological Seminary

John Bunyan and the Grace of Fearing God by Paul M. Smalley & Joel R. Beeke
160 pages | List Price: $14.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
ABOUT
He was the author of the best-selling Christian book of all time. His Bible-saturated works have inspired generations of believers all over the world. And yet, as influential as it is, John Bunyan’s theology contains a unifying thread that is sorely neglected in the modern church: the vital importance of the fear of God.
Fearing God is seen by many as psychologically harmful—at odds with belief in a God of love. But Bunyan knew personally that the only freedom from a guilty fear of God’s wrath is a joyful, childlike fear of his holiness. Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley guide us through Bunyan’s life before exploring his writings to illuminate the true grace of fearing God.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Wisdom requires it, Jesus emphasized it, the apostles encouraged it—and yet few things are more feared in contemporary Christianity than . . . the fear of God. This timely book . . . shows how the fear of God was, in contrast, the heartbeat of one of the most loved and admired of all Christians.”
—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Dean of the Doctor of Ministry program, Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies
“We today need to read and treasure Bunyan. . . . Beeke and Smalley take the reader through the core of Bunyan’s corpus and whet the reader’s appetite to plunge afresh into Bunyan’s works.”
—Michael A. G. Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Hungry: Learning to Feed Your Soul with Christ by Rondi Lauterbach
256 pages | List Price: $12.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER | Author Video: YOUTUBE
SUMMARY
Hunger: it drives our bodies, shapes our day, and affects our choices.
We are all too familiar with our physical hunger and the guilt it often inspires. But God designed us to hunger—our hunger is good! It shows we are meant to depend on something outside ourselves for satisfaction.
But what about the hunger we feel in our souls?
While also from God, our spiritual hunger is corrupted—leaving us binging on “junk food” like our idols and cravings. Where do we find true satisfaction for our hungry souls?
It comes when our souls feast on the Word of God—and on Jesus himself. Rondi shows us how to prepare a Bible study like a recipe for a spiritual banquet that will truly fill us.
Learn how to consume the Bible instead of just reading it—and then how to share this meal with the hungry around you.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Some meals require an appetite, and others create one. This book is of the latter type. As the Prayer Book puts it, “Let us learn, mark and inwardly digest the Word of God.” And I think you’ll find, as I have, that Rondi Lauterbach is a masterful chef.”
—Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
“Its blend of fresh ingredients—personal story, biblical theology, keen insight, and practical application—makes it highly recommended.”
—Nancy Guthrie, author of the Bible study series Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament
“Frazzled exhaustion [for serious Bible study] is symptomatic of spiritual malnutrition. Hungry will whet your appetite to delve deeply into the Scriptures.”
—Dennis E. Johnson, author, Walking with Jesus through His Word

Ezra & Nehemiah by Derek W. H. Thomas
464 pages | List Price: $34.99 | Hardcover | Reformed Expository Commentary series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
The books of Ezra and Nehemiah tell a vital story of a community revived and restored by God’s grace through gifted individuals—preparing the way for the coming Messiah. In his practical and devotional expository commentary, pastor-theologian Derek W. H. Thomas shows what this gripping narrative can teach us about kingdom life in our own time. In their different ways, Ezra and Nehemiah both prioritized the Word of God and the practice of prayer. If the church of our day is to recover and be renewed, Thomas argues, these commitments are just as vital for us as well.
ENDORSEMENT
“Derek Thomas has the happiest knack of leading his readers right into the heart of the biblical text. . . . He tackles the intriguing (and too-neglected) books of Ezra and Nehemiah, and through him we not only enter into fruitful contact with the Bible but also meet with two of the most attractive characters that the Old Testament offers.”

Marks of Saving Grace: Theological Method and the Doctrine of Assurance in Jonathan Edwards’s A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections by Eric J. Lehner
376 pages | List Price: $49.99 | Paperback | Reformed Academic Dissertations series | SAMPLE CHAPTER
SUMMARY
Eric Lehner examines Edwards’s use of philosophical, historical, and biblical sources in Religious Affections and demonstrates that Edwards’s theology in this key work is governed by Scripture, rather than by historical, metaphysical, or epistemological considerations.
Lehner calls into question the proliferation of proposals that suggest Edwards’s theology is driven by central interpretive ideals, socioeconomic forces, philosophical models, or other nonbiblical considerations. He uncovers the shortfalls of secular interpretations of Edwards and advances an interpretation that endeavors to understand him in terms of his faith, rather than apart from it.
ENDORSEMENT
“Professor Lehner has offered here an outstanding contribution to our understanding of Edwards, his doctrine of assurance, and his theological method.”
—Douglas A. Sweeney, Professor of Church History and the History of Christian Thought, Director of the Jonathan Edwards Center, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

The Battle of Seattle by Douglas Bond

SUMMARY
“There’s miles between us and the fort, miles of wild country filled with Indians eager to cut our throats.”
It’s 1855, and tensions in the Pacific Northwest between white settlers and native tribes have led to scores of deaths on both sides. As all-out war seems inevitable, young William Tidd, an express rider for the militia, joins Charles Eaton’s Rangers on a mission to hunt down Chief Leschi of the Nisqually. If they can stop him, they may be able to end the bloodshed before it escalates further, but it soon becomes clear that not everyone wants peace with the enemy. Through skirmishes, raids, close calls, and betrayal—William’s assumptions, beliefs, courage, and friendships will all be challenged in a few breakneck weeks.
ENDORSEMENT

Essential reading for every student of American history.”

288 pages | List Price: $14.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER

Why are so many well-intentioned women falling for poor—even false—theology? The Devil has been effectively targeting women from the beginning, so why are they often left to fend for themselves in so-called women’s ministries?

Writing to concerned women and church officers, Aimee Byrd pinpoints the problem, especially the commodification of women’s ministry.

War Psalms of the Prince of Peace, Second Edition: Lessons from the Imprecatory Psalms by James E. Adams
176 pages | List Price: $13.99 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
ABOUT
THIS IS A 25TH ANNIVERSARY REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION
Although the Psalms are much beloved by readers of the Bible, some hostile language in individual psalms may be disconcerting. Are these seemingly vindictive prayers acceptable in the mouths of Christians? How is a pastor supposed to preach these texts?
James E. Adams wants us to embrace God’s Word in its entirety, and that means examining the parts that make us uncomfortable. In short, helpful chapters, Adams answers a number of questions: Are these psalms from God? Who is the speaker in the psalms? May we pray these psalms today? It turns out that the Prince of Peace has much to teach us about war, and even the imprecatory psalms may be prayed with the merciful goal of conversion.
Twenty-fifth anniversary edition—includes a new epilogue and additional chapter.
ENDORSEMENTS
“James Adams’s book on the rather startling imprecatory psalms is the best of its kind. . . . Christ-centered throughout, it is enlightening, succinct, warm, practical, and helpful for everyone grappling with the strong language of these psalms—including pastors! Once you’ve read this book, you will no longer feel confused or embarrassed by these psalms, nor will you want to avoid them. . . . Let Dr. Adams’s book assist you to preach, teach, and pray the ‘war psalms’ as never before!”
—Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
“Dr. James Adams’ War Psalms of the Prince of Peace must rank among the finest studies on the imprecatory psalms. . . . I routinely advise others to read this book when any question about those psalms arises. . . . We would all do well to spend time in this book, with these psalms, and in prayer for God to triumph over the forces of evil we face today.”
—Michael A. Milton, Chair for Missions and Evangelism, Erskine Theological Seminary
