Biblical Missions

Evangelism & Missions

“This excellent new volume is both comprehensive and committed to biblical authority. Moreover, to one deeply concerned with restoring biblical leadership to local churches, this book is a great encouragement because it rightly seeks to restore missions to the local church also, from training missionaries to indigenous church planting to raising up elders in the planted church. Biblical Missions: Principles, Priorities, and Practices is a clear, resounding call to every local body of believers to arise and fulfill her Lord’s commission in her Lord’s way. I warmly recommend it to readers everywhere.”

Deacons

Church Leadership & Ministry

“My deepest concern in books on church polity is that the author would make his case based on solid Bible exposition, not denominational tradition or personal opinion. Smethurst has done this well: he has expounded the relevant texts on this widely misunderstood church office. With clear structure and striking insight, he recaptures the Bible’s intention for deacons.”

Elder Governance

Church Leadership & Ministry

“"For those churches who are attempting to make the difficult transition to a plural elder led form of church governance, this book fills a void that has long existed: assistance in how to navigate those treacherous waters. Through their own experiences in helping their church work through this metamorphosis, the authors have gleaned valuable insight that they have shared with us.”

The Seven Last Things

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“MacLeod's treatment of the biblical text shows that he is not only an experienced expositor of the original text of Scripture but also an exceptionally gifted writer on biblical themes. The book is easy to read, extremely interesting, and filled with many rich quotations and insightful doctrinal observations. Best of all, it is a model for good traditional Bible exposition.”
