“This book on spiritual formation by Matthew Bingham is just the tonic for this age, in part because it relies on many ‘ages’ throughout church history. To address contemporary concerns, while also offering a positive approach to how to live as a Christian, Bingham has marshaled some of the best in this delightful treatise. A Reformed approach to living a spiritual life is not an oxymoron but rather part and parcel of how Reformed theologians, including many of the illustrious Puritan divines, did theology. This is a modern ‘Puritan’ work addressing a present need in the hopes that evangelicals will embrace the tools readily available to them to make them mature, deep-thinking Christians.”
Christian Living
“There is a growing obsession on social media with health matters. Apparently, everyone has a health tip! There’s a type of idolatry and legalism that creeps into such discussions. The solution isn’t to avoid these worthwhile topics but to look at them as Christians should: We are body-souls; and any discussion that considers exercise, for example, should remember that fact. David Mathis has offered a highly useful book that highlights the importance of exercise, but he does not forget that we are made in the image of God, created for his service, and most useful as we give our whole person to the Lord’s work.”
Theology
“I know of few people better equipped to write this book. As both a scholar and a pastor, Carl Trueman combines his expertise as a historian with some important biblical observations to make a convincing case. This book will prove to be immensely useful in today’s ecclesiastical climate.”
Depression, Anxiety, and the Christian Life
Christian Living
“A threefold cord is not quickly broken. In this book, J. I. Packer and Michael Lundy team up with the great Puritan Richard Baxter, who was truly a physician of souls, to offer Christians much-needed help on the thorny spiritual realities of depression and anxiety. Few, if any, Christians are unfamiliar with the pain of anxiety and depression. Few, if any, will fail to be immensely helped by the guidance offered in these pages.”
Theology
“I treasure books that bring the Scriptures to life, such as this one. This is what biblical theology should look like. This work by Roberts and Wilson taught me a great deal about the Bible and gave me a renewed appreciation for the exodus motif throughout God’s Word. Seminary professors, preachers, Bible study leaders, and others are going to love Echoes of Exodus.”
Finding Assurance with Thomas Goodwin
Christian Living
“There are so many helpful pastoral insights into the nature of the Christian life in this book that it is worth reading regardless of one’s position on assurance of salvation.”
Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age
Christian Living
“Falsehood abounds not only in the world but also, sadly, in the church. The truth must attack the lies of the age for the sake of God’s honor and glory, the good of people, and the health of the church. In this deeply courageous book, Rosaria Butterfield addresses topics that many are afraid to confront and expose. On the one hand, this is grievous, but I am especially grateful for the gifts God has given to Butterfield, who is in many respects uniquely able to expose these five lies of our anti-Christian age. You may weep reading this book, but I am convinced you will also rejoice.”

“Professional counseling and prayer ministries work hand in hand as essential partners to facilitate inner healing in wounded lives. Working together we can maximize the freedom, recovery and renewing of all those in need.”

“Having done some work on Thomas Goodwin’s Christology, I may be a little biased in saying that his work on Christ’s heart is probably the finest work on practical Christology that exists in the English language. To see a present-day book do so well, which relies so heavily on Goodwin, makes my own heart leap for joy. I am sure Ortlund and I share the same desire for readers to also go to Goodwin’s work and read his masterful treatment. Ortlund’s book is a good entry to Goodwin.”
Christian Living
“Packer’s book Keep in Step with the Spirit is polemically irenic. Seeking to promote peace in the church, Packer also desired purity. In this book, he offers an argument against certain opinions on the Spirit with a greater goal in mind: the peace of God’s people as they share a unified understanding of the Holy Spirit’s work. If his irenicism is the end, his polemics are the means. This is the hallmark of classically Reformed treatments on key theological doctrines, and I am thrilled to see this book republished by Crossway.”
Theology
“The doctrine of Republication has a Reformed pedigree. But in what sense? Recent understandings of Republication sometimes depart significantly from what one finds among Reformed theologians in the Post-Reformation periods. It is to the merit of these authors for dealing with this thorny issue by offering some important insights into the precise nature of the debate, such as discussions on merit and justice and the nature of typology. I hope all involved in the debate will give this book a careful and sympathetic reading--at least more careful and sympathetic than those who have publicly opposed Professor John Murray on this issue.”
Pollution and the Death of Man
Christian Living
“This book is a remarkably sane approach to environmental concerns. Man’s alienation from God leads to other alienations and ruptures, including our failure to responsibly exercise dominion in this world. As Schaeffer shows, Christ overcomes these divisions so that Christians are the world’s true environmentalists who take seriously our responsibility to care for God’s creation. How can we, in Christ, exercise godly dominion in this world? This easy-to-digest book is just the answer.”
Christian Living
“A seasoned, well-regarded preacher of the gospel offers us a scripturally saturated treatise on sanctification. Simple but not simplistic, short but not shallow, John MacArthur not only explains the Bible’s teaching on sanctification but also makes the appropriate, sometimes pointed, applications this current generation needs.”
Sermons from the Early Restoration Years (1669–1675)
Theology
“This highly ambitious project by Crossway and the editors is truly breathtaking, presenting us with a modern and usable critical edition of John Owen’s complete works. A remarkable number of hours have gone into editing the works of a remarkable theologian. You are reading not a mere reprint but an edition that familiarizes readers with both the theological and historical context in which Owen wrote, and also the rhetorical style of the so-called Prince of the Puritans.”
Some Questions and Answers about God’s Covenant and the Sacrament That Is a Seal of God’s Covenant
Theology
“A first-class historical theologian and Latinist has translated a first-class sixteenth-century Reformed theologian on the subject of the covenant. Few are better equipped than Dr. Denlinger for opening up to us the goldmine of theology from Robert Rollock. I am thrilled to see this exciting theological work in English.”
Christian Living
“I sometimes worry when we try to identify the Bible’s major theme or core message since the Bible is more like a rich ecosystem of themes working together to offer us a picture of God and his glory. However, in this very readable book, Greg Gilbert brings together important biblical themes to help Christians, whether new to or seasoned in the faith, understand God’s word. With a good command of biblical themes, helpful illustrations, and personal anecdotes along the way, Gilbert shows himself to be a clear and accessible guide for God’s people.”
The Nursery of the Holy Spirit
Preaching & Worship
“We cannot take for granted anymore that churches, both Reformed and evangelical, keep their children in the sanctuary during the worship service. Danny Hyde has provided a thoughtful pastoral book that addresses this very issue. And for those already convinced that our covenant children should remain in the sanctuary worshiping the triune God, this book will provide further food for thought on why this practice is so important and should continue if we are to be faithful to our children and God's word.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The Reformed Pastor, by the preeminent pastor-theologian of the Puritan era, Richard Baxter, is one of the first books I read on the Christian ministry. As a pastor, I need to read and reread this classic. Crossway and Tim Cooper have done a great service to the church in making this updated and abridged volume available to us. May God use this book to save and care for many souls through pastors in his church.”
Theology
“Ryan McGraw has written an excellent introduction to covenant theology—one that, as a pastor, I can hand to anyone in my church who wishes to know more about the covenant concept. While the book has a certain systematic approach, one will also encounter a rich biblical and Trinitarian theology permeating the chapters. I’d like to have written a book like this myself, but there is no need now with this fine contribution to Christian living. And make no mistake, the key to Christian living is understanding God’s covenants.”
