Parenting by God’s Promises:
How to Raise Children in the
Covenant of Grace
Joel R. Beeke
description Parents are unable to give their children what they need most—new
hearts that trust in Christ for forgiveness of sins. All belief is a work
of God alone. But parents must not “hinder” their children from coming to Christ, as Jesus’ disciples sought to hinder mothers and fathers
from bringing small children to Him (Mark 10:13–16). On the contrary,
they must do everything in their power to “bring” their children to the
Savior, which means raising their sons and daughters in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4).
In Parenting by God’s Promises: How to Raise Children in the Covenant
of Grace, Dr. Joel R. Beeke explores what this nurture and admonition
looks like and offers gems of practical wisdom for parents on topics
such as instituting and leading family worship, teaching children,
modeling faithful Christian living, and exercising discipline. However,
he carefully puts parental responsibilities in their proper perspective
and guides mothers and fathers to lean not on their own abilities but
to trust more fully in the God who knits children together in the first
place. Above all, he affirms, parents must look to the one true God,
who promises to provide everything His people need and to bless
them and their families
endorsement “In this book, Dr. Joel Beeke provides information that is in keeping
with what we have come to expect from his preaching and writing:
biblically based information about parenting, practical illustrations
that really illustrate, and specific instructions that will help people to
know how to put the directives of Scripture into practice. In this book,
every Christian parent will find solid, dependable, practical, biblical
help for bringing their children up God’s way. Dr. Beeke places a correct emphasis on the centrality of God’s grace and sovereignty and
the importance of parental human responsibility. Parents who are
looking for a right perspective and practical help for facilitating this
right perspective will find this book to be an excellent guide.”

The Holy Spirit
Geoffrey Thomas
description
The Holy Spirit is often treated as either a dry doctrine for our mouths
to recite or raw power to ignite our emotions. Geoff Thomas shows us
that the Holy Spirit is both infinitely glorious and intensely personal.
Neither a theory nor a force, the Spirit is God and acts as our God in
gathering a people to Himself. This book follows the scriptural revelation of the Spirit from Genesis to Pentecost to today, covering such
topics as His personality and Deity, His inspiration and anointing in the
Old Testament, His conviction and regeneration, the spiritual gifts, putting to death sinful deeds by the Spirit, His sealing, and spiritual revival.
It will help believers to know how much the Spirit of God loves them,
and will help them to love the Spirit with all their hearts — and with
Him, the whole Triune God. It may also help unbelievers to begin to
thirst for the living water which they desperately need.

The Day of Worship:
Re-assessing the Christian Life
in Light of the Sabbath
endorsements
Ryan M. McGraw
“In the last fifteen years, there has been renewed interest in the nature
and purpose of the fourth commandment and what many refer to as
the Puritan Sabbath. By God’s grace a conversation has begun that is
helping many come to a fuller appreciation for and use of the Lord’s
Day. Pastor Ryan McGraw’s voice in the conversation needs to be heard.
As he says, ‘I have sought to address what I believe to be the primary
underlying issues behind the widespread neglect of the Sabbath day.’
Pastor McGraw’s book is chock-full of biblical insights, freshly applied to
the issue of the Christian Sabbath. I have been helped by the book and
know that each one who reads it will be as well.”
— Joseph A. Pipa Jr., President, Greenville Presbyterian
Theological Seminary
“Far too many Christians only believe in nine commandments. The command to keep a day of rest on which to worship our triune covenant
Lord is deemed as irrelevant or no longer binding. Providing helpful
exegesis and theological consideration, Ryan McGraw gives the church
important reasons to recover the abiding validity and necessity of the
fourth commandment. Far from legalism, McGraw’s treatment encourages all Christians to find worship, rest, and a foretaste of heaven to
come on each and every Lord’s Day.”
— J. V. Fesko, Academic Dean and Associate Professor of Systematic
Theology Westminster Seminary California
“Ryan McGraw has written a very fresh pastoral teaching on Sabbath
observance in his new book, The Day of Worship. He gives us important
principles from Scripture for understanding the Christian Sabbath. The
book is convincing in its argument that much of which lies behind
a dislike of the Sabbath is a tragic love of this world. Practical helps
abound for the keeping of the fourth commandment.
“The Day of Worship does not merely rehash other works on the
topic that are available today. If you are well-read on the Sabbath you
will nonetheless find here supplemental material to strengthen your
own godliness.”

Reformer of Basel: The Life, Thought, and
Influence of Johannes Oecolampadius
Diane Poythress
endorsements
“In his day, Oecolampadius attracted the likes of Erasmus and Luther. It’s
not too much of a stretch to claim that his exegetical and grammatical
work in Hebrew and Greek stands behind the return to the Bible and the
world-changing preaching of the Reformation. Yet, he has become a forgotten soul today. This book corrects that. Thanks to the tireless and deft
efforts of Dr. Diane Poythress this great voice from the past once again
speaks to the church with clarity and conviction. Oecolampadius and we
too are in her debt.”
—Stephen J. Nichols, Research Professor of
Christianity and Culture, Lancaster Bible College
“Johannes Oecolampadius is one of the forgotten heroes of the
Reformation. Diane Poythress has put the modern church in her debt
by recalling his great achievements in the city of Basel and more widely
through his influential biblical commentaries. It is a fascinating study.”
— Gordon J. Wenham, Old Testament Professor Emeritus,
Trinity College Bristol
“Diane Poythress in The Reformer of Basel: The Life, Thought, and Influence
of Johannes Oecolampadius provides a fresh reason to probe the lives and
thinking of little acknowledged figures of the Protestant Reformation.
Oecolampadius, literally the ‘houselamp,’ brought to light what became
the distinguishing features of Reformed Christianity. In this excellent biographical and thematic study of the reformer of Basel—one of the very few
in English—Poythress probes his pioneering work in original languages,
exegetical and historical studies, liturgy, church discipline, guidance
to pastors, and balance of intellect and pious devotion. Commentator
on over twenty biblical books, historian unpacking the labors of early
fathers such as Chrysostom, John of Damascus, and Augustine, the
Reformer of Basel foreshadowed what was best to be found in Bucer and
Calvin. Zwingli had ample reason to call Oecolampadius’s works a ‘cornucopia.’ An additional benefit of this fine work is Poythress’s summaries
of Oecolampadius’ interaction with his contemporary Reformers and his
influence on reformations occurring in other European countries.”

“Venture All for God”:
The Piety of John Bunyan
Edited by Roger Duke and Phil Newton
with Drew Harris
description
Many Christians are familiar with The Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan’s
(1628–1688) famous book written from a prison cell, which portrays
the Christian life as one traveling from the City of Destruction to the
Celestial City. During Bunyan’s life, however, he produced nearly sixty
books and tracts. Roger Duke and Phil Newton, with Drew Harris, trace
the significant events that shaped Bunyan’s life and thought in a biographical introduction and, in thirty-one excerpts from a variety of this
great man of faith’s writings, give us a glimpse of his piety, which flowed
from his desire to “venture all for God.”
endorsements
“These excerpts from Bunyan capture both the heart and the thought
of this great seventeenth-century preacher and spiritual guide. This
is condensed Bunyan, like lemonade concentrate eaten from the can.
Divine sovereignty, divine mercy, effectual grace, human culpability and
need — all of these move together seamlessly and in the full context of
biblical truth with such charm and artlessness that the reader discovers
in each reading the true power of Bunyan. Phil Newton and Roger Duke
deserve our thanks for their selections and their contextualizing material in this volume.”

“John Bunyan has left the English-speaking world an almost unparalleled literary legacy of evangelical and Reformed piety. Phil Newton,
Roger Duke, and Drew Harris have done us a service by making this collection of Bunyan’s writings available. It is a worthy contribution to the
outstanding Profiles in Reformed Spirituality series and will be a source
of inspiration and comfort for many pastors, seminary students, and
Christian scholars. This book deserves a careful and prayerful reading.”
— Nathan Finn, assistant professor of church history and Baptist studies,
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, North Carolina
“I still remember reading The Pilgrim’s Progress for the first time. I was
a young Christian captivated, like so many before me, by Christian’s
exciting journey to the Celestial City. All the feelings that I experienced
since becoming a Christian were there, in vivid print — from the burden
falling off of Christian’s back to the temptations of Vanity Fair. ‘Venture All
for God’ is a wonderfully concise introduction to the Bedford tinker’s life.
But it is more than that. It is also a careful introduction to the theology
that fueled Bunyan’s creative genius. After reading ‘Venture All for God,’
those who have yet to devour The Pilgrim’s Progress or The Holy War or
Grace Abounding will wonder what they’ve been waiting for!”

Keeper of the Great Seal of Heaven:
Sealing of the Spirit in the
Life and Thought of John Flavel
Adam Embry
description
Puritan pastors of the seventeenth century were true physicians of the
soul, and this is made readily apparent in Adam Embry’s study of John
Flavel. In Keeper of the Great Seal of Heaven, Embry finds the prominent
themes of heavenly mindedness and the work of the Holy Spirit in
Flavel’s life and pastoral ministry. He goes on to evaluates Flavel’s doctrine of the Spirit in all of his published writings, explains Flavel’s view
on the sealing of the Spirit, and compares Flavel within his theologicalhistorical context with other contemporary Puritans. Embry further
traces the significance of Flavel’s theology of the Spirit in the American
Great Awakenings, gives an evaluation of Flavel’s exegesis relating to
the sealing of the Spirit, and concludes with insightful pastoral reflection on the material. While this study reveals a diversity of thought
within Puritanism regarding the sealing of the Spirit, it also underscores the profound commitment this spiritual brotherhood shared to
treat the matter of the heart with biblical truth in dependence on the
Holy Spirit.
endorsement
“Loving and reverent reflection on the person and work of the Holy Spirit
was at the heart of Puritanism. Whatever else the Puritans were — ecclesial reformers, Reformed theologians — they were above all shepherds
of the soul, seeking to understand the ways of the Spirit in the human
heart and the local congregation. It was out of this spiritual matrix that
some of the Puritans enunciated a theology that centered on what they
called the sealing of the Spirit. It is a very important strand of Puritan
piety, but relatively little has been written on it. I am thrilled to recommend this study devoted to exploring this theological distinctive in the
life and thought of a major Puritan author, John Flavel. Any who are
interested in the history of Puritan spirituality are very much in Adam
Embry’s debt for this fine study.”

Foreword by Joel R. Beeke

“These days the term Reformed is applied to many beliefs and practices
that are not Reformed. Malcom Watts offers a wonderful guide so that
the uninitiated can know what the historic Reformed faith looks like in
doctrine and practice. This book, however, is also a terrific aid for the
well informed as a reminder and index of classic Reformed theology—
biblical, confessional, and practical.”
— J. V. Fesko, Academic Dean and Associate Professor of Systematic
and Historical Theology, Westminster Seminary California
“Finally — a sound, concise yet meaty little book on the basics of the
Reformed faith, Reformed ecclesiology, and Reformed evangelism.
Malcolm Watts’s What Is a Reformed Church? is an excellent work for
those just discovering the Reformed faith as well as for those who are
more advanced but need to be reminded of its distinctives. Ministers
would do well to urge their consistories or sessions to provide a copy
for every church member or family. Its biblical content, sanctified
scholarship, challenging insights, and warm pastoral applications are
just what the church needs today. I know of no better basic Reformed
handbook for believers.”

The 17:18 Series
Rob Wynalda
why the 17:18 series?
In Deuteronomy 17, Moses is leaving final instructions concerning the future of Israel.
As a prophet of God, Moses foretells of when Israel will place a king over the nation (v.
14). In verse 18, the king is commanded to not simply acquire a copy of the law (the
entire book of Deuteronomy) from the “scroll publishing house,” but to hand write his
own copy of the law.
Thirty-four hundred years later, educators are “discovering” that students that physically write out their notes by hand have a much greater retention rate than simply hearing or visually reading the information. Apparently, God knew this to be true of the kings
of Israel also. From such understanding came the conception of this series of books.
how to use these books
Each book is organized so that you can write out your very own copy of Scripture. You
will be writing the Bible text only on the right hand page of the book. This should make
for easier writing and also allows ample space on the left page to write your own notes
and comments. From time to time a question or word will be lightly printed on the left
page; these questions are to aid in further study, but should not interfere with your own
notes and comments.
endorsements
“There is an old proverb that says ‘Thoughts disentangle themselves when passing over
the lips and through the finger tips.’ The 17:18 Series which encourages us to actually
write out the words of Scripture will be a tremendous tool in putting that proverb into
action in our daily lives. I am happy to commend this project.
— JERRY BRIDGES, author of The Pursuit of Holiness
“Several years ago I read an article about copying the Scriptures by hand. I tried it with
the Pastoral Epistles, writing out all three books with a fountain pen in my journal, and
found it a profitable exercise. I am glad to see this series of journals appear, and I hope
they are widely used.”

The Quest for Comfort
The Story of the Heidelberg Catechism
William Boekestein
Illustrated by Evan Hughes
description
Many years ago God used three men to write a little book that
explained the only true comfort in life and in death. These men lived
in a time when comfort was badly needed. Most people believed they
could have comfort in this life only when they were good. Even if they
believed they were good, they had very little comfort about what
would happen to them after they died. Few knew the real and lasting
comfort that God promises through His Word. That’s why these three
men wrote their little book. The three men were Caspar Olevianus,
Zacharias Ursinus, and Frederick III, and the little book they wrote,
with God’s help, is called the Heidelberg Catechism.
The Quest for Comfort combines history and art to retell the events
that led to making the catechism. By sharing the stories of these three
important men and how they came to Heidelberg, children will gain
a greater appreciation of the Christian faith as it is expressed in the
Heidelberg Catechism.
endorsements
“It is never too early to begin teaching our children the truth. And
what better way is there than to introduce them to one of the finest
summaries of that truth ever written: the Heidelberg Catechism. The
nice thing about this little book (which is a short historical introduction
to it) is that it will surely encourage our children to want to learn what
this catechism teaches.”
— G. I. Williamson, author of The Heidelberg Catechism: A Study Guide
“The Heidelberg Catechism was an important part of my childhood.
Every week I had to memorize a question and answer and every week I
was taught to understand and apply what I had learned. This provided
a theological foundation that continues to serve me many years later.
I am grateful for this little book, through which William Boekestein
introduces the Catechism to another generation of children. May they
come to treasure it as I have.”

Simonetta Carr
Illustrated by Matt Abraxas
description
A complex and fascinating character, Athanasius,
bishop of Alexandria, is best remembered as the
Father of Orthodoxy, upholding the doctrine of the
Trinity against the Arian heresy. In this newest addition to the Christian Biographies for Young Readers
series, author Simonetta Carr introduces children to
the life and times of this important church father
who tirelessly defended the Nicene Creed, which
many of us today recite as a confession of our faith.
Born during the Great Persecution, forced five times
to leave his church and city, and constantly threatened by those who tried to ruin his reputation,
Athanasius provides an example of godly faithfulness. Beautiful illustrations and a winsome, simply
written narrative will bring the Nicene Creed to life
for children of all ages, prompting relevant discussions on the divinity of Christ and the importance of
creeds and confessions.

“Another excellent historical biography from the hand
of Simonetta Carr! This time it is the early Christian

the right amount of admiration, and faithfulness to
the Alexandrian bishop’s life. I am fast becoming a
real fan of Simonetta’s writing!”

“Simonetta Carr’s latest book is a wonderfully accessible addition to her growing collection of books on

Faith” and “The Saints’ Walk by Faith”—making
them available for the first time since the seventeenth century in an edited form with a contemporary design. The Puritan writes concerning faith: “It is willing to venture it all upon grace
that it sees in Jesus Christ, and it satisfies itself in
Christ alone.” (Northampton, HB, 267 pgs) $28.00 | $21.00

A Faithful Church Member
Joel Beeke
Do you view church membership in the same way many

but use only when the need or desire arises? In this booklet,
Dr. Joel Beeke returns to the biblical concept of the church
in five areas—Christ’s Word, person, people, cause, and
image—and draws fifteen characteristics of faithful church
membership in its personal, public, and practical aspects.

John Calvin
The Law has three functions. All of these, as

Commandments. The Law is still to be revered
and obeyed, but out of a sense of freedom and
not despair. May the transformation that occurred in Geneva as
the people acquired knowledge of God’s Word continue in our
day. (Solid Ground, PB, 326 pages) $25.00 | $15.00

is to be God-centered and Godfocused as well as God-directed,”

banking, built a church to hold 3,000 in the East
End of London while still in his twenties. Nearly

Zeal for Godliness: Devotional
Meditations on Calvin’s Institutes
Derek Thomas and R. Carlton Wynne (editiors)
“Calvin’s Institutes is delicious steak for the soul.
Far from being ivory-tower theology, Calvin
wrote to nourish the heart in godliness or piety.
Zeal for Godliness cuts our meat for us into
small, bite-sized pieces. Each brief devotion,
linked to a specific section of the Institutes,
was written by a man who has marinated his
mind in Calvin’s biblical teachings including Carl Trueman, Ligon
Duncan, Sinclair Ferguson, Iain Campbell, Philip Ryken and others. Whether you read this as a stand-alone devotional, or an
accompaniment to reading through Calvin’s book, you will find
these thoughts to be like the fragrant odors rising from a summer
grill-attractive and appetizing.” — Dr. Joel R. Beeke (EP Books, HC,

Discovering the Christian Mind
Douglas Vickers
What does Christianity have to do with the
marketplace of ideas or the claims of reason?
The author considers such questions by looking at the identity of the Christian mind. Prior
to identifying the Christian mind’s place in culture is understanding what the Christian mind
is once the Holy Spirit regenerates a soul—the
beginning and foundation of true knowing. (Wipf & Stock, PB,

Simply Explained
Steve Wilmshurst

disciples as those called to take up their cross
and follow the One who gave His life a ransom
for many. Based on sermons, these 25 chapters
trace Jesus’ ministry from its beginnings through His passion and
vindication. (EP, PB, 416 pgs) $23.00 | $17.50
Children and the Lord’s Supper
Guy Waters & Ligon Duncan, ed.
The Lord’s Supper is a profoundly solemn yet
deeply enriching element of our worship to our
gracious, merciful, savior God. At what age is
it right for a child to partake of the same? This
book takes a critical look at the doctrine of paedocommunion as defined: “as the admittance
of a covenant child to the Lord’s Supper on the
basis of his descent from at least one professing Christian parent.”
These essays will provide food for thought Biblically, theologically, historically and pastorally. Chapters include “Passover and
the Lord’s Supper: Continuity or Discontinuity” (Bryan D. Estelle);
“Christ Our Passover” (Iain M. Duguid); “1 Corinthians 11:17-34: The
Lord’s Supper: Abuses, Words of Institution and Warnings and the
Inferences and Deductions with Respect to Paedocommunion”
(George W. Knight III); “’Not a Particle of Sound Brain’ – a theological response to Paedocommunion” (Derek W. H. Thomas);

Piety’s Wisdom
J. Mark Beach
Although works exist that
either offer an analysis of
Calvin’s views or serve as a
guide to his Institutes, none
fully share the aim of J. Mark
Beach’s Piety’s Wisdom.
Keeping to the form, shape,
and tenor of Calvin’s own
work, Piety’s Wisdom offers
busy pastors, seminarians,
interested college students,
and motivated laypersons
a book that presents Calvin
on his own terms. This summary can be used as an introduction to the Christian faith, as a primer for the study of
Calvin, or a combination of each.
“Mark Beach’s Piety’s Wisdom provides a finely done summary and analysis of Calvin’s Institutes that should be
of considerable service to Christian laity, pastors, and
students in coming to terms with the thought of the
Genevan Reformer. Beach writes clearly and concisely,
and with considerable insight into Calvin’s thought. The
book includes a short biographical sketch and a contextual introduction to the Institutes. It stands as one of the
best and most trustworthy introductions to Calvin presently available.”
—Richard A. Muller, P. J. Zondervan Professor of Historical
Theology at Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, MI
“J. Mark Beach has provided us with a concise guide to
Calvin’s Institutes that succeeds in identifying its contours
and emphases. Calvin’s magnum opus can prove tricky
for the uninitiated and this volume will be invaluable as
a quick and precise summary of the Reformer’s thought.
An ideal accompaniment for those eager to get their
teeth into one of the most important theological texts
ever written.”

Systematic and Practical Theology, RTS (Jackson), and Minister of
Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS
“Though road maps (or a GPS) are no substitute for the
experience of traveling through the country side, they
can be a great help to the traveler in identifying the best
route and the highpoints of the trip. J. Mark Beach’s Piety’s
Wisdom is such a help for the reader who hopes to travel
or navigate his or her way through Calvin’s great exposition of the Christian faith, The Institutes. Written for the

Family Guidance Series
Too often the Christian world offers up both an idealistic and
impossible standard of the Christian family or, on the other side,
the church ignores the vital role of the family in the building up
and maintenance of a godly heritage. In this ongoing series, Dr.
Joel Beeke, with over 30 years of pastoral experience, offers pastoral insight and provides Scriptural antidote to the problems of
today’s Christian family.
Bringing the Gospel to Covenant Children

then details how to use prayer, family worship,
teaching, everyday conversation, and mentoring to evangelize
children. Dr. Beeke provides a needed guide for a parent’s most

Meet the Puritans
Joel R. Beeke and Randall J. Pederson
“The Puritans — English, Scottish, American, and Dutch—are
being read again! In an era of superficial discipleship and erratic,
impotent, ailing, and dying churches, this is indeed a hopeful sign. And this wide-ranging handbook of backup information about the writers themselves, their special strengths, and
modern reprints of their books, is another hopeful sign. Meet
the Puritans is a fascinating compendium, scholarly yet popular
and accessible, that Puritan-lovers will value very highly—and
justly so.”
— Dr. James I. Packer
“The recent revival in interest in and commitment to the truths of
Reformed theology is due in large measure to the rediscovery of
Puritan literature. The Puritans of old have become the prophets
for our time. This volume is a treasure for the church.”
— Dr. R. C. Sproul
“As furnaces burn with ancient coal and not with the leaves that
fall from today’s trees, so my heart is kindled with the fiery substance I find in the old Scripture-steeped sermons of Puritan pastors. A warm thanks to the authors of Meet the Puritans for all the
labor to make them known.”

The Quest for Full Assurance: The Legacy of
Calvin and His Successors
Joel R. Beeke
Joel R. Beeke analyzes the doctrine of assurance of
faith in the theology of Calvin and the Reformed
tradition after him. His conclusion is that Calvin
and post-Reformation Reformed theologians
substantially share the teaching on assurance, differing only in matters of degree. Therefore, the teachings of 17th
century Reformed theology is an advancement of the 16th century Reformers, rather than a departure. Beeke deals with English
Puritanism, and well as its Dutch counterpart known as the Nadere
Reformatie (Further Reformation). (Banner of Truth Trust, PB,

Striving Against Satan
Joel R. Beeke
In a day when society has, in many ways, placed

devil’s existence, Dr. Beeke’s book is a sober,

the pure walk of the Christian life. Emphasized
throughout these sermons is the historic and
continuing reality of the troubling of the church
by the great deceiver Satan, who uses God’s name against God,
Christ’s name against Christ, the show of the Gospel against the
Gospel, and the countenance of apostles and godly ministers to
overthrow the truth.

The book calls nominal Christians to a more profound commitment
to Christ, stressing that only such a commitment can deliver the
church from shallowness and unholiness.

Dennison shows that the Puritan view of the

practically, by the latter half of the seventeenth century despite
the challenges it faced from the “medieval” position of the Court
Party and the Seventh-day Sabbatarians.

This Do in Remembrance of Me
Arie Elshout
Some Christians struggle with doubts and dread
the thought of participating in the Lord’s Supper
for fear of taking it unworthily. In this book, Arie
Elshout provides tender encouragement to such
sensitive souls. Distinguishing between the assurance of faith and the assurance of sense, Elshout
reminds us that weak faith is faith nonetheless. Wise pastoral
counsel is also given on areas of self-examination and the distinguishing marks of true grace. Here is a helping hand extended
to all who are sorry for their sins and take refuge in Christ, and a
reminder that the Lord desires to comfort and refresh penitent
sinners with the gospel promises of His table.

uses of the law, as well as engender profound gratitude for all
that God is for us in Christ. (HC, ISBN: 978-1-60178-063-8, 152

The Poor Man’s Morning & Evening Portions
Robert Hawker
“The Poor Man’s Morning and Evening Portions by
Robert Hawker (1753–1827) is a great devotional
classic that received its unique name because it
was originally published in small ‘penny’ portions so as to be affordable to the poor. Hawker
excels in Christ-centered, practical divinity. He has
been taught by the Spirit how to find Christ in the Scriptures, as
well as how to present Him amiably to hungry sinners in search
of daily communion with a personal Redeemer. For the genuine
Christian, here is daily devotional writing at its best — warmly
Christ-centered, eminently practical, personally searching.” — Joel

Confessionally Reformed Churches in the
21st Century
Daniel R. Hyde and Shane Lems, eds.
As a response to the unique challenges facing
the twenty-first-century American church, church
planting has become a popular topic. But at a
time when churches that spread the seed of the
Word through preaching, the sacraments, and prayer are greatly
needed, much of the focus has been on planting churches that
adapt pop culture to meet “consumer demand.” In Planting,
Watering, Growing, the authors of this collection of essays weave
together theological wisdom, personal experiences, and practical
suggestions, guiding readers through the foundations and methods of planting confessional churches that uphold the Word of
God. (PB, ISBN: 978-1-60178-126-0, 328 pages) $20.00 | $15.00

Teaching Predestination: Elnathan Parr and
Pastoral Ministry in Early Stuart England
David H. Kranendonk
In Teaching Predestination, David H. Kranendonk
focuses on the ministry of an early seventeenthcentury Puritan-leaning theologian, Elnathan
Parr (1577–1622). Although relatively unknown
today, Parr’s works were popular in his own day.
Kranendonk’s survey contributes a nuanced picture of this English
Reformed pastor and demonstrates that Parr’s scholastic development of predestination, coupled with his pastoral concern for
616-977-0889
25
the salvation and edification of his hearers, resists the caricature
of Reformed Scholasticism as being a philosophically speculative system. Here one sees the practical use of predestination for
the care of souls as Parr and others aimed to help increase the
faith and joy of God’s people. (PB, ISBN: 978-1-60178-148-2, 208

Preaching in the Holy Spirit
Albert N. Martin
Good pastors pray for the Holy Spirit’s help in preparing biblical sermons that will adequately feed
God’s sheep. They also hope for the Spirit’s work
in the hearts of the hearers so that they effectively
receive the preached Word. But are these the only
ways that preachers must depend on the Spirit in
their preaching? In this book, Albert N. Martin reminds gospel
ministers of their need to rely on the Holy Spirit as they proclaim
God’s Word. He explains the necessity of the agency and operations of the Holy Spirit, describes its specific manifestations, and
discusses ways it is restrained or diminished. Here is a prophetic
call to reliance on God in the very act of proclaiming His Word.

Christians Get Depressed Too
David Murray
Many Christians mistakenly believe that true
Christians don’t get depressed, and this misconception heaps additional pain and guilt onto
Christians who are suffering from mental and
emotional distress. Author David P. Murray comes
to the defense of depressed Christians, asserting
that many Christians do get depressed! He explains why and
how Christians should study depression, what depression is, and
the approaches caregivers, pastors, and churches can take to
help those who are suffering from it. With clarity and wise biblical insight, Dr. Murray offers help and hope to those suffering
from depression, the family members and friends who care for
them, and pastors ministering to these wounded members of
their flock. (PB, ISBN: 978-1-60178-100-0, 128 pages)

How Sermons Work
David Murray
How do pastors take on the difficult, but vital, task
of preaching God’s Word? Some people seem to
think that pastors “receive” their messages direct
from God. They imagine some mysterious process
by which he just “gets” a sermon.
In this instructive and immensely practical
book, David Murray demonstrates that behind the sermons we
see and hear on Sundays are many hours of mental, spiritual, and
practical labor. Like all pastoral labor, it involves head, heart, and
hand.
Yet this book is not just for preachers. It will also be extremely
helpful for students, Bible class teachers, or anyone who has to
prepare a Bible message. Above all, however, it is the author’s
desire that this book will be read by those who do not preach. For
such it will provide a great insight into the loving care and attention that should go into sermon preparation, so that the most
important hours in a Christian’s week spent listening to their pastor’s sermons, leave them spiritually enriched. (Evangelical Press,

Rather, Olevianus and his tradition argue for a Reformed catholicity rooted in the ancient confession of the church.

The Happiness of Heaven
Maurice Roberts
While belief in heaven is essential to the Christian faith, the
fact that pilgrim believers have not yet experienced heaven
leaves us with many questions about what it will be like.
In The Happiness of Heaven, Maurice Roberts surveys Holy
Scripture to tell us what heaven is all about. In his characteristic style, Roberts discusses the biblical data clearly and
relevantly, making soul-searching application at every turn.
This is not just a book of interesting facts about what heaven
is like; it is an appeal to men and women to find their happiness in the eternal comfort of God in Christ.
“I have seldom heard a minister preach with more relish, glow,
and frequency about heaven than Rev. Maurice Roberts. In
The Happiness of Heaven, Roberts shows that same giftedness in writing about the glorious state of eternal bliss. He
writes with warmth, conviction, and longing, while not fearing to address biblically the difficult questions in masterful
chapters such as ‘Children and Heaven’ and ‘The Dark Side of
Heaven.’ This is one of the author’s best books yet. If you’re a
believer, it will move you deeply and make you more homesick. Read it repeatedly to lift your soul up above the sin and
mundane trivialities of this world and to set your affections
on the Triune God and things above.”

The Spiritual Brotherhood
Paul Schaefer
During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth
centuries, a “spiritual brotherhood” formed among
the Puritans, shaped by the reforming activity and
training of Cambridge. These pastor-theologians
initiated a new emphasis within the established
church, stirring up a greater understanding of
the Reformation doctrines of grace and preaching for conversion and Christian growth and piety. In this study, Paul Schaefer
looks at six thinkers in this group who stand out because each
was used as the human vehicle to bring the gospel to the next:
William Perkins, Paul Baynes, Richard Sibbes, John Cotton, John
Preston, and Thomas Shepard. By examining their teaching on
the relation between man’s depraved nature and sovereign
grace, as well as the distinct but inseparable relation of justification and sanctification, Schaefer demonstrates how the Puritan
movement came to focus most intently on the cultivation of
Reformed piety within the church. (HC, ISBN: 978-1-6078-143-7,

Jonathan Edwards’s Apologetic for the
Great Awakening
Robert Davis Smart
In the 1740s Jonathan Edwards emerged as the
New Light proponent of the claim that the Great
Awakening was, in the main, a true work of the
Spirit of God. Conversely, Charles Chauncy led
the Old Lights in opposition by offering criticisms of the Awakening. In this book, Robert Davis Smart examines Edwards’s defense of the revival with particular attention to
Chauncy’s criticisms, which have often been acknowledged but
not previously subjected to thorough analysis. He sets forth historical and contextual factors that shaped Edwards and his generation, shows how Edwards emerged as a leader of the revival
from its early days, and offers an updated survey of the modern
attempts to interpret the Awakening theologically, sociologically, and historically. Here is a detailed treatment of the contrasting perspectives of Edwards and Chauncy, an extensive analysis
of their major works regarding the revival, an able assessment
of the essential issues raised by the debate, and an evaluation
of the significant contributions of these men. (HC, ISBN: 978-160178-124-6, 368 pages)

The Marrow Controversy and Seceder
Tradition: Atonement, Saving Faith, and
the Gospel Offer in Scotland (1718–1799)
William VanDoodewaard
After the Reformation, the Marrow controversy of
the eighteenth century is noted as one of the most
significant and defining events in the Scottish
church. However, until now, there has not been a
serious analysis of the theology of the Marrow men as it relates
to churches in Scotland during the aftermath of the controversy.
In this important study, William VanDoodewaard identifies characteristic understandings of Marrow theology on the atonement,
saving faith, and the free offer of the gospel and traces them out
in the theology of the Seceder tradition. In doing so, he presents
substantial evidence for the continuity of Marrow theology in the
Associate Presbytery and Associate Synod in Scotland during the
eighteenth century. He ably demonstrates that while Marrow theology was not the primary cause of the Secession churches, the
Seceders were aware of the significance of Marrow theology and
consciously made it an integral part of their churches. (PB, ISBN:

Between God and Man

biblical doctrine of the covenant to be the theological framework which best unifies Scripture,

fully biblical and experiential doctrine of the divine covenants,
opening up their nature, stipulations, curses, and blessings.

Prayer Witsius devotes six chapters to the subject of prayer in general, which he calls the
pulse of the renewed soul. His exposition on
the Lord’s Prayer is itself a masterpiece. In many
instances, the questions grappled with receive
greater scriptural and practical clarity from Witsius’s pen than
from anything else written to date. Packed with sound biblical
exegesis and practical doctrinal substance, this book represents
the cream of Reformed theology.

Sacred Dissertations on the

Herman Witsius
In this two volume set Witsius exemplifies
his own principle, that “he alone is a true
Theologian, who adds the practical to the theoretical part of religion.” This phrase-by-phrase
exposition of the Creed applies Scripture to
life. In both tone and substance, Witsius draws the reader into
a deeper understanding of and love for the truths most central
to the Christian faith.

Faithfulness Under Fire:
The Story of Guido de Bres
William Boekestein
The life of Guido de Bres teaches
us that we can find enduring
hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ,
even during persecution. Author
William Boekestein sensitively
tells the story of de Bres for children, guiding them through his
turbulent life and times — from
his birth in 1522 in a small Belgium town, to his call to
the ministry and study under Reformers such as John
Calvin and Theodore Beza, to his authorship of the
Belgic Confession and a life of suffering, to his martyr’s
death in 1567. Skillfully crafted illustrations and an
easy-to-understand narrative combine to capture the
interests — and admiration — of the entire family for
this amazing Reformation hero.
“Bill Boekestein shows his pastor’s heart and desire to
make the riches of our Reformed heritage known in a
simple way in Faithfulness under Fire. Men like de Bres
lived in a tumultuous time, and their example of total
commitment is needed in today’s world of religious
pluralism, tolerance, and moderation. Our children
need to learn this devotion and parents need to teach
it with all their heart.”

Reformation Heroes
Diana Kleyn and Joel Beeke
The Reformation did not happen instantaneously; it was something God
patiently arranged over a number of years. As you read this book, you will
learn how the Lord used some people to plant the seeds of church reform
long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his NinetyFive Theses. Luther’s story is well-known; we trust you will find it interesting and instructive to read about him and forty others (John knox, Peter
Martyr Vermigli, Zacharias Ursinus, Willem Teellinck, etc.) who contributed
to the Reformation — some well known and others not so — most of
whom are Reformation heroes. To provide a fuller picture of the manysided Reformation, chapters are also included on the Anabaptist and
Counter-Reformation movements. The book concludes with a brief summary of the influence of the Reformation in different areas of life.
“Diana kleyn and Joel Beeke have once again found a way to make history
both interesting and challenging. By grace, Reformation Heroes is a book
that will help capture young minds and hearts for Christ.”
— Dr. Sinclair Ferguson, Pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina
“The authors are to be warmly commended for giving our young people
fresh access to the riches of the Reformation, namely, God’s saints who did

The Evil of Evils
Jeremiah Burroughs
The Evil of Evils, first printed in 1654, consists of sixty-seven short chapters that expose sin and
urge believers to choose affliction over sin. Burroughs organizes his material around seven
major thoughts: (1) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; (2) sin and
God are contrary to each other; (3) sin is directly against our good; (4) sin opposes all that is
good; (5) sin is the evil of all other evils; (6) sin has infinite dimension and character; and (7) sin
makes us comfortable with the devil. This treatise is invaluable for sensitizing our consciences
to the “exceeding sinfulness of sin” (cf. Rom. 7:13).
“I think among all the treatises of this blessed man, Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs (now triumphing in
glory above all sin and sorrow), which have been received with so much acceptance among the
saints, there has not been presented to your view a more practical piece than this now in your
hands. And though various divines have written and spoken much concerning this subject, yet, in
my poor judgment, this out-does all of this nature that ever my eyes beheld, setting forth with life
and spirit the subject in hand and bringing it down powerfully in a practical way to convince the
judgment and work upon the affections of the weakest reader.” —John Yates (d. 1657), A Puritan

Moses’ Self-Denial
Jeremiah Burroughs
Burroughs explains how Christians are called to
deny all honors, privileges, and delights for the

us. You will benefit greatly to see how faith acts
to transform losses caused by self-denial into true honor. This is
an insightful, practical book — a helpful antidote for our natural
selfishness. (HC, ISBN: 9781601780942)

removed by the congregation. He also was pastor to an
American Indian congregation at Stockbridge where he
did most of his writing. Edwards accepted the presidency
of the College of New Jersey (now known as Princeton
University), but died from a smallpox vaccination only a
week after taking office.

The Gospel Ministry
Thomas Foxcroft
On November 20, 1717, Thomas Foxcroft presented a message on faithful gospel ministry
and was strongly petitioned to have it published
as a book. However, Foxcroft had not delivered
this message at a conference for pastors, but
at his own ordination. His intention was not so
much to show his congregation what a proper minister should
be like, but rather to attempt to press upon himself the importance and responsibility of the ministry for which he was being
set aside. What proved a profitable exercise for him became a
blessed gift for the church at large!
In this book, Foxcroft exhorts ministers to make Christ the focal
point of their preaching. He shows the importance of character
in ministry, calling for pastors to be wise and prudent in every
aspect of their lives. Likewise, ministers are urged to visit with
and know their flock, and busy themselves with attending the
needs of their souls. Furthermore, ministers are reminded how
their service to the Lord requires great diligence and should be
supremely governed by a pursuit for the conversion and edification of men in Christ. This is a pertinent reminder that pastors
are called to wait on the needs of the souls of men with the
good news of Christ.

The Sound-Hearted Christian
William Greenhill
Nearing the end of his life and ministry, William Greenhill
left his congregation a parting gift and lasting testimony of
his pastoral care for their souls — he published The SoundHearted Christian. This book was developed from a series of
sermons Greenhill preached on Psalm 119:80, “Let my heart
be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.” Greenhill
shows that a sound heart is watchful and attentive, recognizing that our soul is our greatest possession. After demonstrating the excellence and desirability of a sound heart,
he challenges us to test the soundness of our heart. He then
directs and motivates us to get and keep a sound heart. The
book ends with several appended sermons on faith, Christ,
and God’s Word, which serve as further encouragements to
establishing and maintaining a sound heart.
“The Puritans affirmed that true knowledge always begins
in the head and extends to the heart, embracing the affections. In a day (not unlike our own) in which mere assent
was taken for faith, empty profession was taken for conversion, and dead formality was taken for holiness, the Puritans’
insistence upon the need for a heartfelt appropriation of
the truth was both timely and necessary. They devoted
countless pages to exposing the danger of hypocrisy and
the nature of sincerity. The skill with which they handled
this delicate probing of the heart is nowhere more evident
than in the present work. In William Greenhill, a renowned
preacher and eminent scholar, you have a trustworthy guide
into this vitally important subject — what it means to be a
sound-hearted Christian.”

Rose, Texas, and author of Puritan Spirituality

The Case for Family Worship
George Hamond
Two conspicuously missing elements in
Christian families today are parents catechizing
their children and the absence of family worship
as a normal part of the daily routine. Numerous
books have been written stressing the importance of family worship, but none is like this one
by the Puritan George Hamond, who lays down
its scriptural mandate.
Hamond gives examples from the Old Testament - Abraham,
Job, and Joshua — and then that of Christ and Cornelius from the
New Testament. He shows that it is not only the biblical pattern,
but a duty incumbent upon all who call upon the name of the
Lord. He also argues for family worship in both the morning and
evening.
This is an important book for those who want to establish the
centrality of worship in their homes with the result of establishing stronger worship in our churches.
Heart Treasure
Oliver Heywood
In this treatise on Matthew 12:35, Heywood
describes the inward dispositions of the heart,
and then shows how to cultivate them for godliness. He tells how to acquire Christian treasure;
how to store it up in various thoughts, truths,
graces, experiences, and comforts; and how to
bring “forth good things out of the believer’s
good treasure.” (HC, ISBN: 1573580635)
$35.00 | $26.00
“Family worship was seldom addressed either in print or pulpit
across the spectrum of the evangelical church in the twentieth
century. But toward the very end of the millennium and since the
beginning of the new, there have been indications of the widespread recovery of this biblical practice. The reprint of Hamond’s
book is another welcome sign that the importance and value of
family worship is being rediscovered.” — Donald S. Whitney

The Grace of Law
Ernest F. Kevan
In this study, Ernest kevan investigates the works
of numerous seventeenth-century theologians
to provide an overview of a Puritan understanding of the law in relationship to the life of the
Christian. After describing the Puritans and the
antinomian controversy that developed among
them, kevan demonstrates how the orthodox view among the
Puritans regarded the moral law as an expression of divine majesty established as a guide for man’s blessedness and a measure
to expose sin. He then proceeds to show how the law relates to
God’s people after the fall in the context of the covenant of grace.
Great care is used to explain the relation of Christ’s work to the
law, the ongoing moral obligation Christians have to the law, the
idea of gospel obedience, and the Christian’s freedom from the
law’s condemnation. Although the Puritans saw law and grace
as opposing principles regarding one’s justification, they also
explained how God uses the law in the life of the believer for His
gracious purposes in their sanctification.

The Almost Christian Discovered
Matthew Mead
While “cheap grace” and “easy-believism” are relatively new terms, antinomianism is not. Martin
Luther coined the word to refer to those who
wanted all the benefits of salvation without any
of the obligations. To those who looked to some
external act for confirmation of a regenerate
heart, the Puritans pointed to proper motives
as well as proper conduct. To those who looked merely to their
orthodox beliefs, the Puritans pointed out that the demons are
orthodox in their creeds, but not in their conduct. Ever mindful
not to stir up unnecessary doubts in weak believers, the Puritans,
nevertheless, felt it imperative to awaken the carnal hypocrite
out of his undeserved security. That is what Matthew Mead does
in this classic. (HC, ISBN: 1877611727)

The Art of Divine Contentment
Thomas Watson
Based on Philippians 4:11, “I have learned, in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content,”
Watson considers the great dishonor done to
almighty God by the sin of discontentment. The
doctrine of Christian contentment is clearly illustrated and profitably applied. The special cases
where, through changes in providences, discontentment most
commonly arises are examined and preservatives are applied to
the soul. (HC, ISBN: 1573581135)

Attending Upon God without Distraction
Nathanael Vincent
The mind of man is notoriously fickle, and distractions too
easily keep him from whole hearted service to God. Even serious Christians feel the strain caused when their desires to offer
God more spiritual and well-pleasing sacrifices are hindered by
remaining sin and vanity of mind. Furthermore, obtaining freedom from distractions in religious duties is very difficult. Some
think lightly of the disease and imagine the cure needless. Others
are discouraged from striving against distractions because they
think it is impossible to overcome them.
In this book, Nathanael Vincent convincingly demonstrates
how everyone ought to attend upon God, recognize Him as
Lord, and serve Him without interruption. In helping us to see
the weight of our obligation, Vincent provides an abundance of
pastoral guidance and encouragement. This book equips readers
to detect distractions and deal with them. It also motivates them
by showing the benefits that pertain to a focused pursuit of glorifying God. (HC, ISBN: 9781601780935)

The Duty of Self-Denial and Ten
Other Sermons
Thomas Watson
This book includes eight chapters on self-denial,
based on Luke 9:23, and ten additional sermons.
Watson teaches, “Self-denial is the first principle
of Christianity.” He describes what self-denial is,
then demonstrates the Christ-asserting nature of
every self-denying act. The additional sermons in this volume are
also valuable. (HC, ISBN: 1877611964)

The Fight of Faith Crowned
Thomas Watson
This book contains six sermons that had not yet
been reprinted in the twentieth century. They
include “The Crown of Righteousness,” “Time’s
Shortness,” “The Fight of Faith Crowned,” “A Plea
for Alms,” and “The One Thing Necessary.” (HC,

Logic: The Right Use
of Reason in the
Inquiry after Truth
Isaac Watts
The Puritans were convinced that the ability
to think clearly was of
the utmost importance.
In our day, common
sense is not very common and clear
thinking is not very clear. This book will
help discipline the mind and train the
reader to discern proper thinking and
argumentation in seeking the truth.

Disputations on Holy
Scripture
William Whitaker
The Protestants and
Roman Catholics were
divided on the role of
Scripture in a believer’s life. In this massive
work, Whitaker argues
the Protestant position. He deals with
the number of canonical books, the
authority of Scripture, the perspicuity of Scripture, the proper interpretation of Scripture, and the perfection of
Scripture. (HC, ISBN: 1573580902)

The Puritans on
Loving One Another
In this collection of writings from four different
Puritan authors, the
Christian duty of love
for one’s fellow man
is addressed. Ralph
Venning speaks of the
commandment of Christ to love your
neighbor as yourself. Thomas Manton
teaches us that the command to “Love
One Another” is a duty given by God.
Joseph Caryl deals with “The Nature
and Principles of Love as the End of
the Commandment.” Finally, John Ball
speaks concerning the nature, motives,
and marks of love.
