J. I. Packer
Hearing Her Voice, Revised Edition
Women
“This provocative book challenges an understanding of Paul on women’s ministry that many have long thought to be beyond question. But historical cross-examination confirms Dickson’s case in a way that makes appropriate a rethinking of practice.”
Christian Living
“In this study book, a wise man shows how the grace of God in Christ, and the holy joy of Christian living, go beyond what many think. Would you appreciate a fully biblical and Reformed demonstration of how the love-words and love-works of our triune God transform life? Then you should read and digest Holiness by Grace.”
Christian Living
“This wide-ranging survey looks shrewdly and realistically at the incarnational life whereby Christ is formed in Christians. It confirms Thomas’s well-deserved reputation for authenticity, acuteness, and indeed authority on transformational Christian living.”
Theology
“A sober, encouraging book. The two sides of the author, the biblical scholar who reads, thinks, and misses no detail and the pastoral teacher who understands people, feels with them, and cares for them, combine here to give us a treatment of suffering under God's sovereignty which is outstandingly accurate, wise, and helpful. All who follow the author's fast-flowing argument will find their heads cleared and their hearts strengthened.”
Christian Living
“Sharing himself honestly and helpfully, Michael Wilkins marks out in straightforward terms the true path of transformation in Christ. The stern yet sunny book will help drifting and jaded Christians everywhere.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This overview of the Old Testament story is the first half of a narrative survey of the whole Bible, with its perspective focused by God's covenant with Abraham. Thoughtful Bible students will appreciate George Eves's well-informed, clear-flowing exposition.”
Institutes of the Christian Religion
Theology
“Any who wish to encounter Calvin's systematic theology at its most pastoral, freest from controversial preoccupations, and mediated through superlative translation, should devour this rendering of the Reformer's own French version of the second edition of his Institutes. This volume should win Calvin many new friends.”
Christian Living
“Dr. Köstenberger gives us a here a solid, sad, scrupulously fair case study of ideology deflecting exegesis over an entire generation. She shows conclusively that the attempts of a long series of scholars to find Jesus affirming women's leadership in some way have entirely failed. Surely this is an important cautionary tale for our times.”
Theology
“It is a privilege to commend so sensible, clear and fruitful an overview of basic Christian belief . . . and Bruce Milne's fresh comments (in this third edition) make what was already a very useful book more useful still.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
Foreword
“The Bible excites him and his excitement is infectious.”
Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I recommend that every pastor first read the Hughes's book privately and then go over it with his lay leaders. Doing this will not be less than a milestone and might well be a watershed.”
Listening to the Spirit in the Text
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“This set of biblical explorations -- mostly Pauline, as we would expect -- demonstrates Gordon Fee's strength in exegesis, biblical theology, and hermeneutics as he pursues his trinitarian, churchly, life-centered concerns. Fee is a Pentecostal pneumatologist without peer. In his largehearted service of the biblical text he is in every way a model. Brilliant and simple, these chapters will enrich all who take the Bible seriously.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“. . . Living the Message sets before us much of [Peterson’s] piercing wisdom, for our own very great benefit.”
Women
“Carolyn title cunningly combines three thoughts: here are stories of women who spiritually were lost till the grace of God found them; here are Bible people from whom we can learn much, but of whom we have largely lost sight; and here is displayed divine wisdom, with which many of us have lost touch. At all three levels the book delivers handsomely, and I hope it will be widely read.”
“Here is a Jeremiad with a difference: It invigorates. Michael Horton is a well-informed communicator with fire in his belly about Reformation Christianity, and his sense of tragedy and outrage comes through as he traces out the spiritual slide of Protestant America into decadence and worldliness. Schaefferish in perception and compassion, this is a strong, good book.”
Theology
“Vaus organizes Lewis's brilliant welter of arguments, stories and evocative illustrations into an orderly account of his entire view of the way things are under God. It is a job very well done, with meticulous precision and minimal comment. Lewis-lovers will be most grateful.”
Missional God, Missional Church
Theology
“This expository tour de force integrates all the main themes of half a century's missiological reflection. Its central thesis, that the heart of the missional heart of John's gospel is the Easter evening narrative, is totally convincing.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“For many years I recommended the old New Bible Commentary as the best of its kind on the market. I expect to find myself saying the same of this new work that replaces it.”
Christian Living
“Here is mastery! As the Lord Jesus Christ, crucified and reigning, was the life-giving focus of the Evangelical Revival, and as George Whitefield was its supreme awakener, and John Wesley its brilliant discipler, so ex–slave trader John Newton was its peerless pastoral counselor and perhaps the greatest Christian letter writer of all time. In his 768- footnote digest of the spiritual wisdom in Newton’s thousand-plus published letters, along with his published sermons and hymns, Reinke distills a vast flow of pure honey for the Christian heart. This is a book to read over and over again.”
