Creation And Change

Genesis 1:1–2:4 in the Light of Changing Scientific Paradigms

Douglas F. Kelly

In this book, Professor Douglas Kelly persuasively argues for a literal interpretation of the six–day account of creation found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. He assesses both the biblical details and the scientific data to show that there is a convincing and scientifically viable case for this understanding. This new edition, written twenty years after the original, contains important revisions and additional chapters, bringing this insightful and relevant volume up–to–date with developments in this field.

Deuteronomy

A Mentor Expository Commentary

Douglas F. Kelly

The book of Deuteronomy finds the Israelites on the cusp of entering the land that had been promised to them since the days of Abraham. Douglas F. Kelly helpfully exposits this book considering not only its importance to the original hearers, but also the impact it has for the church today.

If God Already Knows Why Pray?

Douglas F. Kelly

Knowing who God is – his character, his plans and why he wants us to pray – are essentials in building our understanding of prayer. One of the biggest questions about prayer is not ‘How do you do it?’ but rather ‘Do we know who we are speaking to?’

New Life in the Wasteland

2 Corinthians on the Cost and Glory of Christian Ministry

Douglas F. Kelly

Revelation

A Mentor Expository Commentary

Douglas F. Kelly

There is so much in the past, present and future that we do not understand. The Book of Revelation helps us understand who is in full and sovereign control, the victorious Lamb on his throne. And what a great unveiling of the glorious Saviour is revealed in this apocalyptic book!

“Kelly’s commentary will prove invaluable in restoring this vital message to the pulpits of our churches and the lives of suffering believers.”

Richard D. Phillips

Systematic Theology (Volume 1)

Grounded in Holy Scripture and understood in light of the Church

Douglas F. Kelly

A modern systematic theology written from a reformed and non–dispensational view by a worldwide respected professor.

“I have written this first volume, thinking of my heritage as both Reformed and Catholic; gladly appropriating crucial insights of the whole people of God over the last two thousand years – Eastern Orthodox, Western Catholic, and Reformation Protestant – as they sought to live out the foundational truths of the inspired Word of God.” Douglas F. Kelly

“Douglas F. Kelly is one of the English–speaking world’s leading Reformed theologians. Here we begin to enjoy the fruits of his labors. What a feast it is…For those who yearn for an orthodox Reformed catholicity, Kelly shows the way forward.”

Ligon Duncan ~ Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary

My First Book of Questions and Answers

Carine MacKenzie

"This could make a great difference in the lives of those who learn it."

When Grace Comes Alive

Living Through the Lord's Prayer

Terry L. Johnson

I am delighted with Terry Johnson's When Grace Comes Alive, specifically because it could serve as a clarion call to humble and believing prayer in thousands of churches across the world. ....I found his discussion of 'praying without ceasing' to be sensible and hopeful for us ordinary Christian folk. ...If this book blesses others as it has me, great good for the Kingdom of God will come from it!

My First Book of Bible Prayers

Philip S. Ross

"We have best understood the Bible when we turn it into prayer. That is what Philip Ross does for children in My First Book of Bible Prayers. He takes brief texts of Scripture and turns them into simple, and yet profound prayers that children can readily use. This little booklet will open the heavens for many at a young age. I wish this rich spiritual resource had been available to me twenty years ago!"

Cross Words

The Biblical Doctrine of the Atonement

Paul Wells

'Paul Wells faces head-on the modern (and not-so-modern) challenges to a Biblical viewpoint on the atonement. He evaluates knowledgeably and fairly the most significant denials on such crucial issues as the wrath of God, penal substitution, imputation and propitiation.... It will be an important aid for those who wish to preach effectively the Gospel'

Glory in the Glen

A History of Evangelical Revivals in Scotland 1880–1940

Tom Lennie

an intriguing, judiciously balanced, and often inspiring account of movements of the Holy Spirit in Scotland in a period that we do not normally think of as characterized by revivals (except for the 1949-52 Lewis Revival, which occurred later)... It has encouraged me to pray with new expectancy for God to revive His work among us.

The Lord's Supper

Malcolm MacLean

"...something beautifully positive and full of life for the congregation of believers, as well as seekers."

The Story of the Scottish Reformation

A. M. Renwick

"I am delighted to see this classic study of the Scottish Reformation by Prof. Renwick come back into print...It is written with the two qualities Calvin desired for his own literary productions: clarity and brevity"

From the Finger of God

The Biblical and Theological Basis for the Threefold Division of the Law

Philip S. Ross

"Philip Ross has dealt with issues lying near the heart of the Christian life (and indeed, of the healthy functioning of any human society) in this careful, fair, and, at times, humorous (or at least, entertaining and attention-holding) study of the continuing validity of God's law... I will be frequently referring to his volume in my classes, and warmly commend it

Revelation

A Mentor Expository Commentary

Douglas F. Kelly

"The beauty, fragrance, majesty, grace and omnipotent power of 'the Lamb of God, slain before the foundation of the world' has at times all but overwhelmed me! Revelation is primarily about Jesus Christ; He is the hero of all ages. Satan, though real enough, is finally a minor note in this divinely orchestrated symphony. My zeal has never been so much for any millennial theory, as it is for HIM, and going through this Apocalypse has only increased that zeal."

Genesis

The Beginning of God’s Plan of Salvation

Richard P. Belcher, Jr.

"The meaning of creation (and/or evolution) has taken its place at the front of the intellectual/cultural stage for over a century and a half, and shows no sign of moving from the center of discussion and debate. Secularists and Christians - both liberal and conservative - instinctively understand the high significance of the issue, and hence, the intensity of the continuing debate. Whether God is real and Scripture is true are both tied up in the foundational text of the Bible: Genesis chapters one to three. Richard Belcher's Genesis is a clearly written and judiciously researched guide to the entire question of the meaning of the book of Genesis (not just to its first three chapters, pivotal though these are)."

Kingdom Come

The Amillennial Alternative

Sam Storms

… the most helpful book on the various millennial views I have seen since W. J. Grier’s The Momentous Event. His work is marked by careful exegesis of pertinent texts, and ranges widely and deeply in all of the relevant Scriptural passages dealing with the end of the age.

Andrew Murray

Christ’s Anointed Minister to South Africa

Vance Christie

Vance Christie has done an excellent job on Murray's life... This is a fine, relatively brief volume on a huge subject, and I find it accurate and edifying. I shall recommend it to my classes, and to some of the conferences where I speak.

Communion With God

Fellowship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

John Owen

It made beautifully clear … that God is love. Owen, with skillful scriptural exegesis and warmest pastoral insight takes us to the very heart of Christianity in this treatise, and shows us that … this alone makes sense of everything else, and irradiates every step of earthly life with strength, hope and joy. We owe a debt of gratitude of Philip Ross for beautifully editing this long discourse, and making it far more accessible to another generation. All through, he has remained eminently faithful to the original meaning. The beauty of John Owen’s theology, and most of all, the beauty of the love of God in Christ to us needy souls shines through. I shall be enthusiastically recommending this new volume to my classes

1, 2, 3 John

A Mentor Expository Commentary

Terry L. Johnson

... Terry Johnson's work on these Epistles to be one of the very best and most accurate expositions of the meaning of these letters. I wish I had had this volume when I last preached through I John some five years ago!

Preaching Without Fear Or Favour

Previously Unpublished Sermons on Hebrews 11 by Robert Bruce

Robert Bruce and David Searle

Bruce’s understanding of the struggles of the as yet imperfectly sanctified believer, always leaves us with hope, and greater zeal to follow the Lord more fully. Read this excellent work, and you will find it will build your faith, and draw you closer to Christ. Your reading and meditation will more than compensate David Searle for the immense effort he has put in to this translation.

The Adorable Trinity

Standing for Orthodoxy in Nineteenth–Century America

Mantle Nance

Mantle Nance’s study of the controversy in the Old South between Trinitarians and Unitarians is historically and theologically marked by careful scholarship and,
although committed to the supernaturalism of Trinitarian belief, seeks to be fair and judicious throughout. Far from being a good, but dusty, relic of past concerns, it  touches on many of the most crucial issues facing human thought and destiny today (or at any time). It is very much alive; a penetrating word for our times…

Therefore the Truth I Speak

Scottish Theology 1500 – 1700

Donald Macleod

Whether you are interested in Scottish theology or not, you will not be able to put down this intriguing volume, for it touches on the big questions that face all humans, and in so doing, takes us into the heights and depths of Christian theology. I have found him to be judicious and fair; always relating theological truth to the world we live in.

Beautiful Feet

Ministers, Ministry, and Keeping the Faith

Jonathan Middleton

The true Christian minister stands between the living and the dead. He is authorised by the everliving God to call lost sinners who are already in shades of death up into the light of forgiveness and new life through the risen Saviour. This book, on “Beautiful Feet’’ is a prime example of leading people upwards by the grace of God. I warmly commend it. 

The Pastor’s Public Ministry

Leading in Worship, Praise, Prayer and Preaching

Terry L. Johnson

Johnson offers some of the most practical advice anywhere on public prayer … I particularly appreciated his emphasis on how public prayer should utilize the language of Scripture, noting that one ought no more to pray without preparation than to preach without preparation. We greatly need this book.
