A Little Drop of Love

History & Biography

“It is a rare moment in history when our Lord calls into his service a person like Henrietta Mears (1890-1963). With the help of heaven itself, she by the grace of God had an enormous impact on countless lives of some of the most distinguished men and women, who became a team of men and women who were the real shakers and movers of the spread of the gospel in the last half of the twentieth century. . . . In some ways, Mears ministered at the zenith of the Sunday School movement and had an enormous impact on subsequent evangelical ministries all over the world. Sadly, this movement is in serious decline these days, so we await our Lord's call on another Henrietta. You will be richly rewarded for reading this unusual story of one of God's most gifted saints.”

A Manual for Preaching

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Homileticians and expositors are getting accustomed to expecting solid work from Dr. Abe Kuruvilla, and this new manuscript will not disappoint them in the least. Therefore, I am happy to recommend this new title—A Manual for Preaching: The Journey from Text to Sermon. Ever since I read Dr. Kuruvilla’s book Privilege the Text!, I have been one of his fans. This volume fits right in line with that previous volume. I think pastors, students, and laypersons will enjoy this new work just as well. I give it my highest commendation.”

A Student's Guide to Textual Criticism of the Bible

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Here, at last, is a well-written, succinctly stated, wisely selected history and wonderfully illustrated textual criticism guide that covers both testaments in one volume. Where others have often made this science sound arcane and obtuse, Paul Wegner has skillfully described textual criticism in plain but ample and interesting ways. I highly recommend it to all serious Bible students, but especially to seminary faculty who must juggle book budgets and who up to now have had to order a separate text in this area for each testament.”

Antiochene Theōria in the Writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia and Theodoret of Cyrus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Richard J. Perhai has produced a volume that has been desperately needed in the important exegetical and theological discussions that are currently raging in the academy and church. This discussion is more than a historical analysis, for it is centered on the method of theōria, which when properly understood and defined, places this method of interpretation right in the heart of the discussion of the New Testament use of the Old Testament and the debate over whether interpreters should use the grammatical-historical method exclusively in its search for meaning or defer more to an allegorical-spiritual rendering of Scripture if they wish to see more intimately the contemporary spiritual meaning of a biblical text for the believer today. His research involves a wide spectrum of scholars, many of whom are ordinarily left out of these important discussions and not given a space at the academic table. Nevertheless, here is a book that will be discussed for a number of years to come, for its appearance is long overdue. I heartily recommend this text to every serious student of the Scriptures, but especially to my colleagues who teach and write in the area of hermeneutics and to pastors who must grapple with asking how relevant this text is to mortals such as ourselves in our current world and our search for reality.”

Broken, Searching, Trusted, Powerful

Women

“It is a pleasure to endorse this series of Bible studies on thirty-two women of the Bible. May God’s blessing be on each one who picks up the Bible and is led by the series of questions to ask themselves very similar questions so that we all may grow up in Christ Jesus. Special thanks to Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer for a beautiful piece of work.”

Christ in the Feast of Tabernacles

World Religions

“It is a joy to commend David Brickner's excellent book on the Festival of Tabernacles in the cycle of the seven holy days described in Leviticus 23. Many will be surprised to learn how significant this Feast was in the life of our Lord and what a major part it plays in God's work of the end times. This book will open up whole new vistas for many readers of the Bible.”

Comfort the Grieving

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Few have attempted to offer comfort to those who grieve, and fewer have been as successful as Pastor Paul Tautges in this much-needed book. This wonderful little volume is a veritable anthology of practical helps for those who are grieving and for those who minister to their needs. I recommend it as a book for all deacons, elders, pastors, and laypersons. This important tool should be thoughtfully read if we are to minister wisely and effectively to those in our fellowship who will eventually face such times.”

Dr.

Essential Christian Doctrine

Christian Living

“It is a delight to wholeheartedly recommend Essential Christian Doctrine. It will be celebrated for the clarity of its outline and description of the Bible’s doctrines. It is just too good to miss.”

Exodus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Victor Hamilton has given to us a full discussion of the archaeological backgrounds, alternative views, and the meaning of the book of Exodus. Students of the Word will be especially helped by his interpretation of the Decalogue and his grammatical and lexical notes on each section of the book of Exodus. This commentary will make a fine contribution to the growing number of excellent works on Exodus.”

Extending Mercy to the Gentiles

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Few books are as exciting and so prone to engage the reader from its opening chapters to its ending summary as Extending Mercy to Gentiles. This book is another signal to the body of Christ to observe how eschatology is the general driver of biblical theology and how we need as interpreters to be more ‘Israelocentric’ in how we think and depict the message of the Bible. I heartily endorse this volume and pray for its wide appreciation in our day and times.”

Ezekiel’s Hope

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Seldom has such a spirited written discussion taken place between a Jewish and an evangelical scholar as is found in this study. Even more fascinating is the direct way in which the most difficult portion of the prophecy of Ezekiel (chapters 38-48) is engaged--with respect for each other and with a commitment to the text. It is a joy to recommend this book both for the stimulating way it handles Scripture and for the promise it holds for additional joint ventures between the two scholarly traditions.”

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It is a pleasure to commend this series of homiletical commentaries. They fill an enormous vacuum that exists between the practical needs of the pastor/teacher and the critical exegetical depth of most commentaries.”

Finding the Will of God

Christian Living

“What a rare combination — good biblical interpretation and judicious common sense, blended in the right mixture — all in one book. Waltke’s style is provocative, thoughtful, refreshing, and richly illustrated from living applications of the principles he advocates.”

Gender Roles and the People of God

Women

“It is a pleasure to endorse Dr. Alice Mathews’s book. It is a tender, compassionate explanation of the teaching of Scripture on this delicate subject. Her desire is to be fair to what our Lord has taught in his Word, not to win an argument. I urge Christ’s church to center its thinking on this topic with Alice’s firm base on Scripture rather than numerous alternative routes that are often used to discuss this topic.”

Looking Back for Jehoiachin

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It is with a special bit of pride and joy that I greet the revision and publication of James Critchlow's dissertation. It covers one of the most important eras in Israel's later history and the life of a neglected but pivotal player in the events of Judah's last days before the Babylonian captivity: King Jehoiachin.”

Loving God and Neighbor

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is one of the finest expositions on the main theme and the divine purpose for the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy. In my judgment, this book and its fine discussion deserves the highest commendation from those who seek the best study of the book of Deuteronomy for personal devotional study and for teaching and preaching on this magnificent book of the Bible.”

Mark

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Abraham Kuruvilla has produced a book that theologians, pastors, and laypersons will all appreciate at one and the same time, for he has laid out the Gospel of Mark in twenty-five narrative units simultaneously developing two possible sermon outlines on each of the twenty-five units along with the central theological focus of each unit. More than that, he has also developed a homiletical teaching tool as he progresses through the Gospel stressing the core idea of discipleship while emphasizing the work of the expositor in ending up with discovering valid applications and contemporary responses for living the content of each teaching unit in this Gospel. This emphasis on application of the text continues to be desperately needed in today's pulpits, as the need for truly expository preaching still exists; one that uses the text of Scripture as the exclusive basis for powerful preaching of the word of God in our day.”

Más Allá de la Maldición

Women

“"Es un placer especial recomendar la edicion en espanol de Mas Alla de la Maldicion de la Dra. Aida Besancon Spencer. Este es un libro muy conocido y bellamente presentado. Esta obra se necesita, especialmente en este tiempo, en la vida de la iglesia. Yo lo recomiendo con entusiasmo a todos los lectores.”

No Program but Time, No Book but the Bible

Discipleship & Christian Education

“It was my joy as President of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to observe first-hand the work of Dr. Scott Gibson as teacher and mentor of homiletical skills for those preparing for ministry of the Word of God in his church worldwide. This volume is a good proof and sample of that work. In each of the chapters the reader will find truth-laden wisdom that speaks to some of the great issues of our day. I heartily commend this wonderful set of chapters to both laypersons who reflect on these same issues and to many who seek the call of our Lord in his vineyard.”

Old Testament Theology and the Rest of God

Theology

“Haydock has thoroughly examined the much-neglected scriptural concept of the 'rest of God,' which formed such an important role as part of an Old Testament theology. He has not hesitated to show both the physical as well as the spiritual aspects of this gift of rest. He has traced the theology of rest through its different stages in Israel's history and demonstrated how the essence of this concept remained the same and constantly related to the word of God. The results of his study will need to be included in future Old Testament theologies.”
