Long May Thy Servant Feed Thy Sheep
History & Biography
“In our day of instant gratification, long pastorates that span decades—with the self-denial, patience, and perseverance they demand—are increasingly (and unfortunately) rare. Perhaps the reason why our spiritual forefathers, including such rural pastors as Benjamin Beddome, persevered so faithfully in the ministry was because of their recognition of the dignity, eternal weight, and responsibilities of the pastoral office. Synthesizing Beddome’s letters, ordination sermons, hymns, and catechism, Dr. Seki retrieves the pastoral theology of a much-forgotten luminary in the eighteenth-century Particular Baptist movement to provide a compelling account of Beddome’s pastoral theology, including his emphasis on the qualifications, duties, gifts, self-examination, spirituality, experiential piety, and preaching of pastors. Here is a goldmine for scholars and pastors alike!”
History & Biography
“The complexity of Luther is staggering, but Herman Selderhuis has given us a detailed portrait of the reformer that captures both his blemishes and the beauty of his faith in Christ. This book is a fascinating read about one of the most significant figures of history. Both students of Christian history and admirers of Reformation theology will find it helpful.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Jonny Gibson offers a disciplined structure for spiritual devotion rooted in ancient and Reformed Christianity. He has composed a daily rhythm of meditation and prayer, drawing from the Holy Scriptures, the creeds, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the church fathers and Reformed theologians, Reformed liturgies, and the Psalter. Though designed to prepare a Christian for the annual remembrance of Christ’s death and resurrection in the traditional church calendar, these devotions could be used at any time of the year, for our Lord’s redeeming work should always be at the forefront of our minds.”
Christian Living
“How can believers offer themselves to God as living sacrifices? Every Christian on the road to the heavenly city needs a faithful fellow traveler with whom to discuss the ups and downs of the sacrificial Christian life. John Calvin is one such companion from the past. In this freshly translated excerpt from his Institutes, the cream of classic Reformed orthodoxy, Calvin discusses how Christians can live all of life to the glory of God as living sacrifices, traversing fruitful topics such self-denial, submission to God, divine sovereignty, affliction, cross bearing, and meditation on heaven. Take up and read this thoroughly experiential treatment of practical Christianity!”
History & Biography
“Wright cogently and masterfully unveils Beza as a great spiritual casuist who knows how to use God's sovereignty in comforting and assuring the fainthearted in spiritual warfare. This book is long overdue and fills an important lacuna in Reformed scholarship.”
Christian Living
“Reading this beautiful book on prayer is like enjoying a meal with a friend. Our hostess, Megan Hill, serves the wisdom of the Word, well-baked with centuries of godly Reformed and Puritan writers and seasoned with many personal experiences. Her reflections on prayer are gentle and practical, and by God’s grace I would expect you to be eager to take her recipe and use it often in your home and church.”
Theology
“Andy Naselli makes a strong biblical case for election and reprobation. He aims not just to convince the mind but also to stir the heart to worship the sovereign Savior. Not all readers will agree with every facet of Naselli’s argument, but he demonstrates that the doctrine of predestination is firmly grounded in Romans 9 and other passages of the Holy Scriptures.”
Christian Living
“Many of us are content to sojourn in the foothills of Christian experience; the Puritans lead us to the mountain peaks. For them, the truly blessed life flows from living consciously in the presence of God (coram Deo) for the glory of God (soli Deo gloria). If you want to pray with fervency, rest in God’s fatherly care with childlike confidence, endure affliction with peaceful resignation, and enjoy trinitarian communion with exquisite sweetness—then turn these pages, meditate upon them, and live them.”
Reading the Bible Supernaturally
Christian Living
“The seemingly mundane topic of reading the Bible ushers us into a world of supernatural grace for sinners. With constant reference to the Holy Scriptures, John Piper shows us how to beware the leaven of the Pharisees and to read by the light of Christ. Yet Piper commends no passive mysticism, but studious labor over the best of books; he is thorough, practical, and engaging throughout. Take up and read!”
Theology
“Vern Poythress explores the pathways of human reasoning with simplicity and clarity. What is especially intriguing and unusual about this book, however, is the way in which he grounds human reasoning in the triune God, strongly emphasizing its analogical dimension. As a result, he helps us to think carefully about careful thinking, and to do so in the presence of our Lord. There is much of value in this book that will stimulate your thinking—and your reasoning!”
Christian Living
“Modern people often view the fear of God with disdainful suspicion, but Michael Reeves shows us that godly fear is really nothing other than love for God as God. Reeves also helps us to see that the greatest factor in promoting the fear of God is knowing his grace in Christ. As John Bunyan said, ‘There is nothing in heaven or earth that can so awe the heart as the grace of God.’ This wonderful book not only teaches but sings, leading us to ‘rejoice with trembling’ (Ps. 2:11).”
Christian Living
“Justification and sanctification are like the two arms of Jesus Christ by which he embraces us to himself. John MacArthur does a masterful job of showing us how Christ, the great shepherd whose Spirit lives in every true spiritual shepherd, earnestly desires for his image to be formed in his beloved people.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“While mystical ideas must always be sifted with biblical discernment, it is undeniable that the Reformed and Puritan tradition contains a richly experiential emphasis on delighting in God through Christ. Tom Schwanda has done us a great service in probing that tradition in this study of Isaac Ambrose in his historical context. He offers a nuanced explanation of Ambrose's view of being ravished with Christ, the Bridegroom of the church. He . . . encourages evangelicals to return to our Reformed roots in order to grow in authentic spirituality.”
Theology
“Robert Letham has blessed us with a systematic theology that is sure to stimulate reflection, discussion, and deeper understanding of both the Holy Scriptures and the church’s interpretations of them to formulate its theology over the last two millennia. One does not need to agree with every detail of Letham’s magnum opus to realize that here is a treasure house of Christian wisdom on the whole counsel of God that will inform your mind and move your heart and affections to serve your Savior and Lord more single-mindedly and zealously than ever before.”
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“The Scottish Presbyterians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries—saturated as they were in the doctrine and piety of their Covenanter forefathers—were staunch allies of the English Puritan tradition, and proved, over the course of history, to be more stalwart in their defense and proclamation of the Westminster Standards than even the Puritans of Old and New England. Thomas Boston was no exception. A central figure in the Marrow Controversy, he defended Christian assurance and the free offer of the gospel with a passion. Combining rich biblical doctrine and warm, experiential piety, Dr. Chun Tse provides a taste of Boston’s commentaries and sermons on the Westminster Shorter Catechism that is ideal for personal devotions, small group studies, and Sunday school lessons. Here is a treasure trove of Reformed catechesis, repackaged most delightfully for a fresh church audience. Enjoy your ‘teatime’ with Thomas Boston!”
Theology
“Robert Peterson lays the foundation of Jesus Christ as the only solid ground for assurance of salvation and then builds upon that foundation with the doctrines of the Holy Spirit’s comforting testimony and holy fruit. This book radiates scriptural clarity and heartfelt compassion for people struggling to find rest for their souls in God’s everlasting love.”
The Existence and Attributes of God
Theology
“Nothing purifies the mind and inflames holiness in the heart like meditation on the perfections of God. Charnock’s classic work on the divine attributes, which he wrote the last three years of his life, has never been matched in its profound and practical approach to this rich subject. This work is a treasure of sound theology and humble adoration of God. The author’s exposition on the goodness of God is alone worth the purchase of these volumes; it is unsurpassed in all English literature. Lightly edited for the modern reader and studded with insightful introductions to each discourse, this new edition by Mark Jones will be a great help to all who seek diligently to know the Lord.”
