256 pages | Direct Price: $14.99 $11.50 | Paperback | Resources for Changing Lives
Summary—”Talk” seems so normal, so ordinary, so harmless. Yet there are few things we do that are more important. And underneath the normality of it all is a great struggle, a war of words that we fight every day.
Who hasn’t been hurt by the words of another? Who hasn’t regretted something they said? Who hasn’t had to referee an argument? Who hasn’t wanted to talk seriously with a loved one, yet there seems to be no time?
Recognizing that words are powerful, Paul Tripp shows us how the gospel transforms the way we communicate. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word is the only hope for our words. In our war of words, he is the one who gives us the victory. Tripp directs us to a renewed reliance on our heavenly Father’s abundant grace and a more Christ-honoring, people-benefiting life of talk.

They don’t have to. In this eye-opening booklet, Paul David Tripp shows how refocusing your dreams on God-centered priorities can invigorate both you and your marriage.

7. These Last Days: A Christian View of History – Contributor
208 pages | Direct Price: $13.99 $10.50 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER | Best of Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology (PCRT)
Summary—This is a book about an evil age.
Specifically, it is about “the present evil age” that we live in right now. For many Christians, the expression “these last days” refers to the time right before the second coming of Christ—but according to the apostles, the last days started with the first coming of Christ and continue even today.
How do we biblically understand our time as the final age of world history? What does this mean for our faith?
Reformed Christians have often avoided the field of eschatology—but it was this doctrine of history that thrilled the first disciples. They realized that with the coming of the “last days” they had entered the time of the kingdom, and this understanding will strengthen our faith too.
Here the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology addresses this important topic and presents the following speakers’ insights on:
- Sinclair Ferguson—The Christ of History
- D. A. Carson—This Present Evil Age
- Alistair Begg—The Age of the Spirit
- Michael S. Horton—The Resurrection Hope
- J. Ligon Duncan III—The Eternal Glory
- D. A. Carson—Partakers of the Age to Come
- Cornelis P. Venema—The Four Main Millennial Views
- Richard D. Phillips—A Pastoral Guide to Life After Death
- Jeffrey K. Jue—Evangelical Eschatology, American Style
- Paul David Tripp—The Radical Implications of Eternity
Together some of the most gifted communicators of God’s Word explain the Christian’s view on life, death, and the hereafter.
8. The Problem of Good: When the World Seems Fine without God – Contributor
192 pages | Direct Price: $14.99 $11.50 | Paperback | SAMPLE CHAPTER
Summary—The problem of evil is one we’re all familiar with . . . but what about the problem of good?
If Christianity is true, why do many people seem to live moral, fulfilling lives outside the gospel? Do such moral non-Christians really need the gospel, or will their good deeds save them? Is the traditional view of hell really justified? And if it is, how do we evangelize people who seem more upright than we are? Can we legitimately benefit from their contributions to culture and society?
Many of the answers to these questions lie in the doctrine of common grace. Here authors from a variety of backgrounds tackle these questions and others by exploring God’s common grace and its daily implications.
Includes discussion questions.
