Facing Snarls and Scowls

Preaching through Hostility, Apathy and Adversity in Church Revitalization

Brian Croft and James B. Carroll

Despair,
fatigue, and frustration are grave threats to pastoral ministry. How does one not only endure but improve as a preacher when there is little affirmation and few signs of growth? Here is a book that gives advice and inspiration for preachers who need encouragement to stay true to their calling to preach the Word (2 Tim. 4:1).

Running the Race

Eric Liddell – Olympic Champion and Missionary

John W. Keddie

In a world increasingly fascinated by sports it is difficult to find an athlete worthy of deep admiration. John Keddie’s account of the great Eric Liddell presents all of the drama of his athletic accomplishment while also preserving the character and faith that fueled this remarkable life. More than the medals won, this book reveals the shining greatness of Liddell to be the humble, yet gutsy, spirit that drove him to ‘press toward the goal for the prize’ (Phil. 3:14) – whether in the classroom, on the track, or in the mission–field.

The Manhood Journey

Setting a Course for Godly Fatherhood

Kent Evans

No time is wasted in pushing men forward on the road to deeper trust, richer prayer, stronger relationships, and clearer vision. This is a book for men who long to be spiritual leaders, but who realize that the only way to lead effectively is by following Jesus wholeheartedly.

Understanding Family Worship

Its History, Theology and Practice

Terry L. Johnson

… taps into deep streams of Biblical and traditional wisdom in order to show parents how a recovery of family worship is perhaps the most important thing that we can be doing in order to raise our children as disciples of Jesus.

Washed By God

The Story of Baptism

Karl Deenick

Deenick weaves together a host of Biblical texts on circumcision, sacrifice, covenant, and the Spirit in order to demonstrate that, more than anything else, baptism is a sign of the gospel and of the community gathered around God’s Messiah, Jesus. If you’re tired of hearing the same arguments on baptism reheated and served as leftovers, this book is for you.
