To Questions About the Christian Faith & Life

Derek Prime

I have worn out more than one copy. Simple enough for the beginner and comprehensive enough for the serious student, this updated version should sit beside the Bible of every eager learner.

Kindled Fire

How the methods of CH Spurgeon can help your preaching

Zack Eswine

'Spurgeon comes alive in these pages! Zack Eswine has done a masterful job. This book, like Spurgeon's sermons, feeds the mind and stirs the heart.'

Appointed to Preach

Assessing a Call to Ministry

David W. Hegg

Here is a unique and timely book... David Hegg has done a great service to the church by tackling this matter with biblical clarity and warm pastoral concern...The ease with which it is possible to read this book belies the depth of the insight which it contains. As you read it you will want to pause often, turning to the various passages of Scripture and taking time to think through the implications of these most vital truths."

Homeward Bound

Building an Attractive Christ-centred Family on Eternal Principles

Edward A. Hartman

"For the Christian, the best is always yet to be. Ed Hartman reminds us of this in a way that comforts, challenges and inspires... I commend it warmly."

Finally Alive

John Piper

"Classic Piper—crystal clear exposition and a must read."

The Priority of Preaching

Christopher Ash

"All in all I found this short book to be as helpful as anything that I've read in a long while on expository preaching. I commend it warmly to all."

Firm Foundations

Peter Grainger

"Peter Grainger's Firm Foundations sounds a loud and clear note for lively, imaginative, Bible-based, Christ-centered preaching. These principles and patterns will prove as helpful to the seasoned expositor as they will to the fledgling pastor. I commend it enthusiastically."

Amos

An Ordinary Man with an Extraordinary Message

T. J. Betts

"Books on the Old Testament tend to be either technical and tedious or superficial and moralistic. Once in a while we discover one that breaks the mould. T. J. Betts has done it! He tells us not only what Amos means but also why it matters. He proves again that the expositor's task is not to make the Bible relevant, but to simply show how relevant it is!"

Truth Unchanged, Unchanging

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"The world today is vastly different from the one in which our author lived. Yet despite all the advances of science and technology it would be hard to argue that it is a better place. While men and women look for answers that might be anticipated in the future, the Bible tells us that the answer is found in something accomplished in the past. Christ died for sins once for all the righteous for the unrighteous to bring you to God. It is this unchanging truth that we are to believe and proclaim in these changing times."

Teaching Numbers

From Text to Message

Adrian Reynolds

"A terrific addition to a wonderful series. When I preach through Numbers this volume will be close at hand."

Magnificent Obsession

Why Jesus is Great

David Robertson

We will share this 'Magnificent Obsession' so that ... friends may discover not only what it means but why it matters.

Heaven, How I Got Here

The Story of the Thief on the Cross

Colin S. Smith

Here is a gripping account of God's amazing grace that comes alive as recounted from this unusual and really helpful perspective.

Held in Honor

Wisdom for Your Marriage from Voices of the Past

Robert L. Plummer and Matthew D. Haste

... This is historical theology at its best. Biblical, practical, wonderfully helpful and really enjoyable.

Aspects of Love

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

William J. U. Philip

Trained first as a physician and now entrusted with the care of souls, the author is uniquely placed to address matters healthy and holy.  Providing both diagnosis and cure, he shows how an understanding of God’s love for us lays the foundation for loving and being loved.

When We Get It Wrong

Peter, Christ and our Path Through Failure

Dominic Smart

This book rocked me back on my heels, brought me down to my knees and set me up on my feet to love and follow Christ with fresh understanding and renewed zeal. Only read if you’re prepared to be challenged and changed.

Compel Them to Come In

Calvinism and the Free Offer of the Gospel

Donald Macleod

This is one of the most soul–stirring,
liberating books that I have read on this subject. Donald MacLeod provides the reader with a necessary reminder to seek to persuade and implore men and women on Christ’s behalf to be reconciled to God. I hope that it will show up in my preaching. I commend this book particularly to a rising group of young reformed pastors who when it comes to this matter of the ‘free offer’ are in danger of being tripped up by their own theological shoelaces.

Teaching 2 Peter & Jude

From Text to Message

Angus MacLeay

I have a vivid and embarrassing memory from the 70’s of attempting to expound 2 Peter at an OMF weekend. If only this superb volume had been available then, it would have saved me and my listeners. No one should attempt to teach these letters without the help this book provides.

The Big Book of Questions and Answers

A Family Devotional Guide to the Christian Faith

Sinclair B. Ferguson

This big book filled with big questions has children in view but each time I read it with my grandchildren, I learn something and so do they!

A Greater Glory

From Pitch to Pulpit

Gavin Peacock

As a pastor who would have loved to be a footballer I really enjoyed this book about a footballer who loves being a pastor. A terrific story of someone who has spent his life heading towards the goal to receive a prize that doesn’t tarnish with time.

The Magnificent Time Machine

Sinclair B. Ferguson

This is the closest we come to Sinclair Ferguson’s autobiography! The story of a time–travelling professor leading us to the pivotal event of human history! Another treasure to share with grandchildren.
