Author(s): Colin R McCulloch
Publisher: Reformation Heritage
Price: $2.99       (Feb 18-19)

How can John Owen’s Trinitarian theology of sanctification address modern concerns in counseling methodology?

Biblical counselor Colin R. McCulloch retrieves John Owen’s theology of Trinitarian sanctification to address modern concerns in counseling methodology. McCulloch examines two divergent approaches to sanctification within the biblical counseling movement, suggesting that Owen’s emphasis on Spirit-infused habitual grace provides a more holistic vision for soul care. Far from a mere historical study, McCulloch’s incisive analysis will help pastors and laymen alike:
Traces the development of current biblical counseling techniques
Retrieves John Owen’s soteriology, anthropology, and pneumatology for a new generation
Equips pastors and counselors to care for the needs of struggling people

Radical Discipleship

This e-book was chosen by our readers to be placed on sale.

Author(s): Hensworth Jonas
Publisher: Reformation Heritage
Price: $2.99       (May 27-28)

Description

What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ? “Be ye holy; for I am holy.”—1 Peter 1:16

The modern church has replaced true discipleship with a soft, cowardly, perverted, and shallow iteration of Christianity. The radical departure of our generation from the truth in favor of an anemic Christianity must be answered with a radical return to doctrine and practice.

Pastor Hensworth Jonas’s new book, Radical Discipleship, challenges professing Christians to live out Christ’s call to stand out in a hostile, sinful world.

Liturgies for Hope: Sixty Prayers for the Highs, the Lows, and Everything in Between

Author(s): Audrey Elledge
Publisher: WaterBrook
Price: $1.99      (Ends June 5)

ECPA BESTSELLER • Sixty contemporary, comforting liturgies that break through the chaos of modern life to offer a time-tested message of hope for readers navigating fear, burnout, loneliness, and other worries.

“Beautiful words to help us access the longings of our souls and bring them to God. If you’re looking for a jumpstart to your spiritual life, start here.”—Rich Villodas, lead pastor of New Life Fellowship and author of Good and Beautiful and Kind

Remind us, Jesus, that You lay sleeping in the boat, in the middle of the storm at sea. You are neither surprised nor distressed by the mounting chaos. You are not a God who panics.

When writers Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore were inspired to create an anchor of hope for their own local community, they moved forward by turning to the past, to a time when Christians looked at the collapsing world around them and resolved to offer something beautiful—something true—through poetic prayers.

Old Testament Theology for Christians

This e-book was chosen by our readers to be placed on sale.

Author(s): John H. Walton
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99       (June 2-3)

Modern readers of the Bible often find the Old Testament difficult and even disturbing. What are we to do with obscure prophecies of long expired nations? Why should we read and study ancient laws that even the New Testament says are eclipsed by Christ? How can we reconcile Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount with the Old Testament’s graphic narratives of sex and violence? What does the Old Testament offer that is not surpassed and even made irrelevant by the New Testament?

John Walton has spent a career engaging deeply with the Old Testament’s text and ancient context. He has studied, taught, and written about the issues. His signature approach can be introduced in one sentence: The Old Testament was written for us but not to us. We must not conform it to our own understanding. We will fully grasp the Old Testament and its theology only when we are immersed in the ancient cultural current of Israel within its broader cultural river of the ancient Near East.
