Brothers, We Are Not Professionals

A Plea to Pastors for the Radical Ministry

John Piper

Piper pleads with fellow pastors to abandon the secularisation of the pastorate and pursue the prophetic call of the Bible for radical ministry. He shows how the mentality of the professional is not the mentality of the pastor.

Finally Alive

John Piper

The term New Birth has been devalued by the multitudes who claim to be ‘born again’ while living like everybody else. The New Testament defines new birth and new life completely differently.

Five Points

Towards a Deeper Experience of God’s Grace

John Piper

Grace is the heart of God to do you good when you deserve it least. But do we really know how deeply we don’t deserve it? Only God can reveal that to us.

The Pleasures of God

Meditations on God's Delight in being God

John Piper

God is the happiest being in the universe. To know Him in His pleasures is to see Him as He truly is. John Piper studies 10 ways which God reveals gives Him pleasure.

One Thing

Developing a Passion for the Beauty of God

Sam Storms

"The more I ponder the source and ground of all our lasting joy, the more convinced I become that Sam Storms is right. It's the Beauty of God. In all his gifts we are to see him. Especially in the gospel.... Let Sam Storms guide you biblically and waken your heart to the Treasure of Christ who is the image of the Beauty of God."

A Call to United, Extraordinary Prayer

An Humble attempt…

Jonathan Edwards

For all his intellectual might, Edwards was the farthest thing from a cool, detached, neutral, disinterested academician.

The Gender Neutral Bible Controversy

Is the age of political correctness altering the meaning of God's words?

Vern Poythress and Wayne Grudem

"There is simply no other book on this issue so thorough and so careful."

My First Book of Questions and Answers

Carine MacKenzie

"Truth, clarity and simplicity are the great virtues of this God-exalting catechism for children. It was a great pleasure to watch our daughter learn these answers. As usual teaching a child great truths enriched our thinking and our own worship."

Power Preaching for Church Growth

The role of Preaching for church growth

David Eby

Dave Eby has put his finger on something very crucial, namely the absence of any emphasis on preaching in the Church Growth Movement... it's focus on the book of Acts is compelling

The Trials of Theology

Becoming a ‘proven worker’ in a dangerous business

Brian Rosner and Andrew Cameron

"Without the "trials of theology" we remain on the surface of the statutes of God. May the Spirit of truth make this book a means of true thinking about God, deep affections for God, and beautiful obedience to God, through Jesus Christ who is God."

The Hidden Life of Prayer

The life–blood of the Christian

David McIntyre

"God brings books at their appointed times. The Hidden Life of Prayer arrived late but well-timed. This little jewel-strewn tapestry has done for me at 64 what Bounds' Power Through Prayer did at 34. I could be ashamed that I need inspiration for the highest privilege. But I choose to be thankful."

The Life of God in the Soul of Man

Real Religion

Henry Scougal

"There are some books whose vision is so deep and clear that truth rings from the page like a large bell, perfectly obvious but rare and precious. They unfold the heart of man and God with such forceful illumination that the truth is not shwon to my mind but created in my heart...so it went as i grazed in the green pasture of this remarkable book."

How Prayer Impacts Lives

41 Christians and their Conversations with God

Catherine MacKenzie

"When God hungers for some special satisfaction, he seeks out a prayer to answer. Our prayer is the sweet aroma from the kitchen ascending up into the King's chambers making him hungry for the meal."

That Little Voice in Your Head

Learning about your Conscience

Andy Naselli

If my kids could be five years old again, I would definitely read this book to them. One of the best things about a biblically rooted children’s book is that it helps parents as much as kids. I have no doubt that will happen with this book and while you’re at it, tell your teenagers they can sit all the way across the room, but they do have to listen the first time too.
