Hearing the Spirit

Knowing the Father through the Son.

Christopher Ash

<p>How does the Spirit relate to the Bible? This book is for those who are ?thirsty for a deeper experience of the Spirit of God?. There is much confusion about how Jesus relates to the Holy Spirit, how Jesus the Eternal Word relates to the Bible. Whatever our background, we tend to fall back on untested prejudices or worry about unexamined doubts. This careful biblical argument, drawing mainly from John?s gospel, helps us to see the answers to these questions in a firmly Trinitarian understanding. Hearing the Spirit is the way we know the Father through the Spirit. By asking where the Bible fits in this process, helps us listen more deeply to the words of God.</p>

Introducing Romans

A Book for Today

Christopher Ash

This introduction will be a great help to all those who seek to understand the book of Romans better.

Teaching Psalms Vol. 1

From Text to Message

Christopher Ash

Christopher Ash gives us a practical and theological handbook to equip us to pray and to teach the Psalms. He faces the difficulties and shows how praying them in Christ does justice to their original meaning and context as well as their place in the whole bible.

Teaching Psalms Vol. 2

From Text to Message

Christopher Ash

The Psalms can be sung, spoken or read – but they were written to be prayed. Until we pray them from the heart we miss their purpose. This second of two volumes of Teaching Psalms aims to get the reader’s heart engaging with this beautiful book of the Bible. If you love, or want to love, or think perhaps you ought to love the Psalms, these volumes are for you.

Teaching Ruth & Esther

Christopher Ash

Ruth and Esther are two prophetic pictures of the same gospel. One ends with a baby; the other concludes with an annual remembrance of an amazing escape. But neither really ends, until they find their fulfilment in Jesus Christ. Part of the Teaching series, this book is designed to help the pastor/preacher, small group leader, or youth worker in preparing and presenting studies.

The Priority of Preaching

Christopher Ash

?This little book is written for ordinary ministers who preach regularly to ordinary people in ordinary places... Most of us preach in gatherings that are smaller than we would wish and tougher than we might have hoped when we entered pastoral ministry... There is a voice on our shoulders who whispers as we prepare, and then as we preach, ?Is it really worth it?? The Introduction

Christopher Ash gives a resounding yes to the question ?Is preaching worth it?? in this charter drawn from the roots of the Old Testament.

The Priority of Preaching

Christopher Ash

"Above all, I want to encourage us to our desks, our prayer, our preparation, and our love for people, with a new spring in our steps as we labour at loving people by preaching to them week by week. My prayer is that this book will encourage the discouraged preacher to persevere with fresh zeal and enthusiasm, because I have convinced you that this Sunday men and women can hear the voice of the living God from your mouth."

Hearing the Spirit

Knowing the Father through the Son.

Christopher Ash

"This book explores how Jesus continues to make the Father known today. More precisely, it explores the relationship between the past, 'I have made known' and the present and future, 'I will continue to make known'. It is a wonderful and vital subject. The answer is going to focus on the work of God the Holy Spirit and the purpose and function of the Bible. In contemporary jargon, you might say this book was about the sometimes controversial topic of 'Word and Spirit'."

Aspects of Love

Our Maker’s design for friendship, love, marriage and family

William J. U. Philip

This is such a good book! Here is a pastor’s heart, rooted deeply in scripture, informed by careful reading of scholarship, earthed in the realities of the lives of men and women.
It is wide–ranging in its scope, balanced in its judgements on uncertain matters, always warm and helpful. I commend it warmly.

1 & 2 Chronicles Vol 1

Adam to David

Philip H. Eveson

… lucid,
scholarly, accessible, and reverent … likely to be my ‘go to’ commentary on these books.

1 & 2 Chronicles Vol 2

Solomon to Cyrus

Philip H. Eveson

 … lucid, scholarly, accessible, and reverent … likely to be my ‘go to’ commentary on these books.

A Time to Mourn

Grieving the Loss of Those Whose Eternities Were Uncertain

Will Dobbie

Will Dobbie has done us a great service in this deeply biblical and theological book. His theology is robustly reformed, his heart is warmly pastoral, and his counsel is wonderfully God–centered and realistic. I warmly commend this most helpful book.
