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.

When Cohen Marah steps over his father’s body in the basement embalming room of the family’s funeral home, he has no idea that he is stepping into a labyrinth of memory. As the last one to see his father, Cohen is the primary suspect.

Over the next week, Cohen’s childhood memories come back in living color. The dramatic events that led to his father being asked to leave his pastoral position. The game of baseball that somehow kept them together. And the two children in the forest who became his friends–and enlisted him in a dark and dangerous undertaking. As the lines blur between what was real and what was imaginary, Cohen is faced with the question he’s been avoiding: Did he kill his father?

In Light from Distant Stars, master story weaver Shawn Smucker relays a tale both eerie and enchanting, one that will have you questioning reality and reaching out for what is true, good, and genuine.

  • Discerning Reader’s Best Book of 2003

We are not created to worship. Nor are we created for worship. We are created worshiping.
Too often Christians have only thought of worship in terms of particular musical styles or liturgical formats. But a proper view of worship is far larger than what takes place in churches on Sunday mornings. Worship is not limited to specific times, places or activities.
God is by his very nature continuously outpouring himself. Because we are created in his image, we too are continually pouring ourselves in various directions, whether toward God or toward false gods. All of us, Christian or not, are always worshiping, whether or not that worship is directed toward God. We are unceasing worshipers.
The fruition of a lifetime of study, reflection, and experience, this volume sets forth Harold M. Best’s understanding of worship and the arts. Widely respected as one of the foremost thinkers and practitioners in his field, Best explores the full scope of worship as continuous outpouring in all settings and contexts. With careful exposition and eloquent analysis, Best casts a holistic vision for worship that transcends narrow discussions of musical style or congregational preference. On this broader canvas, Best addresses popular misunderstandings about the use of music and offers correctives toward a more biblically consistent practice of artistic action.
Incisive, biblical, profound and comprehensive, Best’s landmark volume is one by which all other statements on worship and the arts will be measured.

With great pleasure, we offer this daily devotional of meditations from the late Rev. Frans Bakker (1919-1965). His devotionals and meditations proved to be comforting and edifying to many of God’s people in the Netherlands. Writing in a simple but penetrating style, Bakker emphasized the fullness of Christ for needy sinners. In ‘The Everlasting Word’, all of Bakker’s published meditations have been translated and compiled with additional selections from his sermons. We trust that the end result is a collection filled with great nuggets of spiritual wisdom that you will enjoy. May this devotional be both an encouragement that edifies God’s people and an admonition for a life with Christ in the present age.

Author:
Frans Bakker (1919-1965) was a minister of the Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken in The Netherlands, serving congregations in Huizen and Driebergen. He is best known among English speakers for his book Praying Always, published by The Banner of Truth Trust.

Endorsement:
“These pages are filled with profundities of the Christian life, but they are communicated in simple, seemingly unstudied, language. Frans Bakker obviously had a tremendous gift of communication, but he wrote only in Dutch. Now, English readers can enjoy the riches of his work, and be drawn closer to the Christ whose praise is throughout this daily devotional. Highly recommended!” – Michael Haykin.

In Creation and the Second Coming, Dr. Henry Morris delivers a unique perspective of the Bible’s end-time prophecies by connecting them to Genesis. Morris, a renowned Christian apologist, Bible commentator, and Creation scientist, reveals many of the evidence of the last days is directly related to God’s purposes in creation and our rebellion against these purposes.

This Bible study resource presents a beautiful picture of God’s character and plans revealing a larger, Genesis to Revelation narrative. Using Old and New Testament Scriptures, Morris shares what went wrong in Eden and at Babel and a well-reasoned explanation of what will happen during the Tribulation. Investigate his assessment of the millennial kingdom and New Jerusalem and how it relates to the foundational chapters of the Bible.

Learn how evolution, Darwinism, slavery, apostasy, occultism, and even science and technology correspond to the end-time events. The Bible’s prophetic writers give key signs of the return of Christ, and in this classic work, Dr. Henry M. Morris reveals how each sign is an outgrowth of evolutionary humanism or pantheism.

The earth is groaning for Christ’s arrival. This distress is seen in Middle East conflicts, new age religions and attempts to establish a new world order. This Bible commentary offering scientific, historical and biblical evidence delivers “Aha’s” to aid the Church in preparing for Christ’s coming and prioritizing the Great Commission.
