12 Faithful Men

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Faithful pastoral ministry will inevitably include hardship and temptations to discouragement. None of us is exempt. So who of us does not stand in need of the regular encouragement of seeing others live out their pastoral ministries with persevering faithfulness? I experienced that encouragement many times as I read the chapters of this book. Let this book provide that encouragement for you.”

Am I Called?

Christian Living

“According to the Apostle Paul, faithful gospel ministry must include entrusting that ministry to others who will carry it on. Am I Called? will be of immense help to both those wondering whether they are called into gospel ministry, and to the pastors in position to help them figure that out. I know of no other book that does the important, practical work this book gets done and does so well. Am I Called? is marked by both wise, practical insight and a strong gospel vibrancy. I will be putting this book to regular use with young men at my church, and I’m glad to be able to highly recommend it.”

Come, Lord Jesus

Christian Living

“Of all of John Piper’s books, this may be the one I’m most glad he wrote. In our commitment to gospel-centrality we must find ways to more fully and more regularly celebrate the grand consummation of God’s redemptive purposes, and this book helps us do just that. Piper addresses and helpfully answers many of our questions about the second coming, but the great contribution of this book is its stirring of our hearts with the truth of God’s word. In so doing, Piper charges our eagerness and our joy as we anticipate that day when Christ will come in all his glory. Even so, come Lord Jesus!”

Conscience

Christian Living

“There is, for too many of us, a casual, maybe even self-righteous, contentment with the current status of our consciences rather than an active cultivating of them so as to bring them more in line with God’s view of things. This book pushes us to that second, better choice. It is a thoughtful and provocative treatment of this hugely important and all too often insufficiently considered subject. I believe you will find it very helpful.”

Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons

Church Leadership & Ministry

“As a member of a pastoral team that is always at some point in the process of identifying, developing, and affirming elders and deacons, I welcome this very helpful book by Thabiti Anyabwile. Right from the start, with the simple clarity and conviction of the opening sentences, this book is marked by sound biblical teaching. The consistent transition into the practical counsel at the end of each chapter, however, is where this book really proves its worth. Finding Faithful Elders and Deacons will be a most useful primer for all those who are committed to doing church leadership by the Bible.”

Out of Context

Christian Living

“To any who interact regularly with the Bible but especially to those who minister God’s Word—pastors, teachers, authors—and who desire to share it with others in a fresh and living way without dishonoring God by mishandling his Word, this book will be very useful as both guide and guardrail. Schultz’s identification of specific ‘mishandlings’ and his use of concrete examples makes his book particularly helpful. I commend it highly.”

Saved to Sin No More

Christian Living

“The doctrine of our union with Christ is, as Brad Wetherell tells us, both a ‘joy-producing’ and ‘holiness-producing’ doctrine. Resting firmly on careful biblical work, especially on the profound and beautiful chapters of Romans 5 and 6, Wetherell has provided not just a much-needed understanding of the implications of our union with Christ, but, even more, he has provided much-needed encouragement for our daily lives as Christ followers. There is no Christian who is not in need of the help this book supplies.”

The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Leland Ryken has been perhaps the clearest and most helpful voice in understanding the literature of the Bible for our generation, and here Douglas O’Donnell ably brings Ryken’s insight and voice specifically to the preaching task. The strength of this book lies especially in its affirmation of the importance of paying attention to the function and beauty of literary form, but also in its setting forth of particular strategies for reading and for preaching, helpfully illustrated through particular examples. Clearly, literary form matters to God; and as preachers, it should matter to us, in both our preparation and our delivery. The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition will serve you well on both fronts. It is a compelling testimony to the power and profitability of God’s beautiful Word.”

The Plurality Principle

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The Plurality Principle will be of great help to any church eldership seeking to lead and care for the people entrusted to them. Dave Harvey has zeroed in on the key principles and has put very useful feet to them. This book will serve our eldering deliberations in the years ahead.”
