Packer Followers of Christ grow spiritually by learning and living out the essentials of their faith, which are often taken for granted or overlooked in daily life. Renowned theologian J. I. Packer believed that Christianity is not automatic and must be learned by new believers and mature Christians alike. In Growing in Christ, Packer offers readers an easy-to-follow road map for studying theological topics, including the Apostles' Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and baptism. Each chapter helps both new and lifelong believers examine what Packer calls “the intellectual ABCs” of the gospel so they can grow in faith.

click for details		AN EXPOSITION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Ezekiel Hopkins (1633-1690) HOPKINS (EZEKIEL, D.D. Bp. of London-Derry, 1633-1690). An Exposition of the Ten Commandments. (1692.) Hopkins in this exposition searches the heart thoroughly, and makes very practical application of the Commandments to the situations and circumstances of daily life. His homely eloquence will always make his works valuable." - C.H. Spurgeon, from 'Commenting and Commentaries" One of the very best expositions of the Ten Commandments ever published. This American Tract Society edition was very highly prized in the 19th century. In the Notice given by the Tract Society we are told: "As a divine, Bishop Hopkins was one of the sound theologians to which the Reformation gave birth, and he unequivocally and openly held and inculcated the pure doctrines of the Reformers, opposed as they are to the pride and passions of unsanctified men. On the difficult questions concerning ther grace of God and the obligation of man, he adopted those views which most naturally reconcile with one another the declarations and exhortations of Scripture. Few writers have entered so unequivocally into the extent of man's responsibility, and at the same time so strongly insisted on the sovereignty, and so graphically described the operations of divine grace. Ezekiel Hopkins's writings represent the cream of Puritan literature. All of his books are practical, clear, eloquent, persuasive, personal, and experiential. His Ten Commandments is his best and most famous work. In a manner that is astonishingly contemporary, he plumbs the depths of the soul. For example, in dealing with the sixth commandment, he dwells on pride as one of its motivating sins, then says, 'Pride is the fruitful mother of many vices, but it nurseth none with more care and tenderness than it does anger. The proud man is the greatest self-lover in the world; he loves himself without a rival.' Buy this book, read it as a devotional slowly and prayerfully. Let it inform your mind, prick your conscience, move your soul, touch your affections, and persuade your will." --Dr. Joel R.

An alphabet of words introducing biblical theology, written to a rhyming beat, paints a detailed and varied portrait of the unfolding story of the Bible, as it is fulfilled by Jesus. Authors Jonathan Gibson and Timothy Brindle have created The Acrostic of Scripture, to help children ages five to eleven learn theology so their "knowledge of God's big picture is better." The fourth release in the Acrostic Theology for Kids series, this book is fun to read, simple to memorize, and features illustrations from C. S. Fritz that shine with creativity. The Acrostic of Scripture includes a QR code in the back that can be scanned to listen to the audio version of the book which Timothy Brindle reads in rap style. “Every Christian parent, as well as pastors and leaders of Christ’s Church, are always in need of Biblically faithful and effective instruments to assist in communicating the Gospel clearly to the “lambs” in the flock. This volume fulfills that desire beyond expectation with its effective teaching style, as well as interest attracting presentation, while communicating the life-changing power of the Gospel and call to Christ allowing children ‘to come unto Him.’” - Harry L. Reeder III, Pastor Teacher, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama “Whoever said solid theology is only for adults neither understands children nor theology! This wonderful series persuasively speaks deep truth to children and grown-ups in an imaginative, memorable way. It will revolutionize the way they learn the things that matter most in life.” - William Edgar, Professor of Apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia; jazz musician “Biblical professor and parent, Jonny Gibson, and hip-hop artist and parent, Timothy Brindle, have crafted a readable and reliable series for basic Christian doctrines. We parents just might find ourselves discovering some new treasures along with our kids!” -Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Seminary, California ““The Acrostic Theology for Kids series is a fun and engaging way to introduce kids (and their parents!) to important Bible words and concepts!” -Nancy Guthrie, Author of What Every Child Should Know About Prayer “God has chosen to make use of rhyme in order to help His people better learn and remember His truth. Timothy Brindle and Jonny Gibson have given parents and teachers a simple resource to assist children in learning the deep theological truths about Christ. Additionally, they have highlighted the importance of knowing the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Apostle's Creed. This is a richly creative resource.” -Pastor Nick Batzig, Senior Pastor, Church Creek PCA in Charleston, SC and Associate Editor, Ligonier Ministries “Learning is helped by memory aids and using the alphabet in this way is especially great for kids. It helps them remember AND gives them a sense of accomplishment, since they already know the alphabet and can tie new ideas to it. Looking forward to hearing Timothy rap it!” -Elizabeth W. D.

Herman Bavinck's four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century. The English translation was edited by leading Bavinck expert John Bolt, who now brings forth a recently discovered manuscript from Bavinck that is being published for the first time. Serving as a companion to Reformed Dogmatics, Reformed Ethics offers readers Bavinck's mature reflections on ethical issues. This book, the second of three planned volumes, covers the duties of the Christian life and includes Bavinck's exposition of the Ten Commandments.

At the outset of that work, Bavinck set out that dogmatics is happiest in the company of its twin discipline, theological ethics. Dogmatics and ethics, respectively, show us why and how we should love God. For that reason, they belong together as 'related members of a single organism.' Since its release, Reformed Dogmatics has given a wide audience the chance to engage with a great Christian theologian on God and God's works of creation, salvation, and consummation. In Reformed Ethics, we are invited to think with Bavinck about the concreteness of human life in the light and strength of God's deeds for us. For that, we owe the editor and translators a great deal." -James Eglinton, Meldrum Lecturer in Reformed Theology, New College, University of Edinburgh; author of Bavinck: A Critical Biography "In addition to Bavinck's magisterial Reformed Dogmatics, we now have the complementary Reformed Ethics. John Bolt and his accomplished team of translators and editors have added amazing value to Bavinck's recently rediscovered manuscripts in the field of moral theology. Their lucid translation, background studies, notes, and careful documentation of bibliographic sources used by Bavinck make this volume an invaluable background study on the history of theological ethics. Equally important, the book fills out our understanding of Bavinck the complete theologian. Working through it is an exhilarating eye-opener." -James A. De Jong, emeritus president and professor of historical theology, Calvin Theological Seminary "Ethics is no marginal relative of doctrine and theology, as the letters of Paul bear eloquent witness. The translation of Herman Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics has been of major significance, and now it is followed, appropriately, by his Reformed Ethics. It is wonderful that this work has been discovered, translated, and published. One of the great needs of our day is close attention to the 'theological' in theological ethics, and Bavinck does not disappoint in this respect, with his characteristic rigor and creativity. John Bolt and his colleagues have provided us with a fresh resource for theological and ethical reflection." -Craig G. Bartholomew, director of the Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology, Cambridge "What a treasure! John Bolt has done the church a tremendous service in translating and editing this first volume of Bavinck's Reformed Ethics. It shares all the hallmarks we have come to associate with Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics, offering a formidable, astute account of the Reformed approach to ethics. We have long needed a work like this! Bavinck's Reformed Ethics offers pastors, students, theologians, and ethicists--and Christians who would like to wrestle more deeply with the nature of the Christian life--a rich introduction to moral theology in all its contours. On the one hand, Bavinck sets forth a Christ-centered, Spirit-focused paradigm for ethics that accounts for the complexities of human nature amid the great story of creation, fall, and redemption. On the other hand, he manages to provide immensely practical and even devotional insights into dimensions of the Christian life that rarely receive the treatment they deserve, including the conscience, spiritual and moral pathologies, and practices of restoration and communion. I am grateful to have this tremendous resource in my hands!" -Matthew J.

English Puritanism and Scottish Presbyterianism in the seventeenth century had many bright and shining lights. Of these, James Durham (1622–1658), ranks alongside the greatest of his generation, for his theological depth, faithful preaching, and particularly for his moderate spirit at a time when such was in scarce supply. While he could have been a professor of theology in any university, Durham instead spent a brief ten year ministry preaching and lecturing for the most part in the Inner-Kirk of Glasgow Cathedral. It was thought that he poured so much of himself into his studies for sermons and lectures that it brought about his early death at the age of thirty-six. His works were often reprinted and left an impression that lasted for centuries. Recently, all of his sermons in two volumes and his lectures on the Book of Job and on the Ten Commandments have been published in new critical editions. Continuing with his lectures, the publishers are pleased to offer now a new critical edition of James Durham’s largest book, which, while it is his more theologically intense work, retains the same practical Uses and Applications of his sermons and other lectures. “This commentary on Revelation provides what was, as Principal John MacLeod said, ‘in past days, the accepted Protestant view of that book.’ While James Durham’s historicist reading of Revelation is no longer the standard view, that should not deter readers, for, as Spurgeon said, ‘it would not be easy to find a more sensible and instructive work than this old-fashioned exposition. We cannot accept its interpretations of the mysteries, but the mystery of the gospel fills it with sweet savor.’ The finest treasure in this commentary is not, however, Durham’s exegetical work (helpful though this is!). Contained in his commentary are independent treatises which are the purest of theological gold. These extended essays present Reformed thought at its best. As Richard A. Muller has said, this work ‘offers significant access to seventeenth-century Reformed and Presbyterian thought ... Durham’s work illustrates the relationship of Scripture with doctrine and piety and dogmatics.’ ” — Donald John MacLean, author of James Durham (1622–1658): And the Gospel Offer in its Seventeenth-Century Context VOLUME ONE. Lectures on Chapters 1–3. This first of three projected volumes comprises a third of the lectures and fully half of the theological essays. The text covers chapter one in nine lectures (the most on any chapter) and the letters to the seven churches in Asia. The theological lectures contained cover such subjects as the doctrine of the Trinity, a call to the ministry and qualifications for the ministry, church government and church discipline, repentance, the difference in common and saving grace, and preaching and application in preaching. The text has been collated with a 1653 manuscript and an appendix contains texts and full lectures that are significantly different than the published edition of 1658. A new biography will appear in volume two. Volume three will contain a bibliographical essay covering Durham’s works and recent manuscript discoveries, as well as the indices, including an index of errata of prior editions.

To read Durham on Revelation is to find proof of this. His commentary provides what was, as Principal John MacLeod said, "in past days, the accepted Protestant view of that book". While Durham's historicist reading of Revelation is no longer the standard view, that should not deter readers, for, as Spurgeon said, “it would not be easy to find a more sensible and instructive work than this old-fashioned exposition. We cannot accept its interpretations of the mysteries, but the mystery of the gospel fills it with sweet savour.” The finest treasure in this commentary is not, however, Durham's exegetical work (helpful though this is!). Contained in his commentary are independent treatises which are the purest of theological gold. Make what you will of Durham's interpretation of Revelation, but extended essays on the Trinity, the call to the ministry, the nature of justification, and so on present Reformed thought at its best. As Richard A. Muller has said, this work “offers significant access to seventeenth-century Reformed and Presbyterian thought ... Durham’s work illustrates the relationship of Scripture with doctrine and piety and dogmatics.” Taken all in all, readers of this work will surely ultimately agree with Durham's contemporary Robert Blair, who said of this work, "Many Writers have done worthily, but thou excellest them all.” jds jasv 12s CMMS CMC rhbs bncs VOLUME ONE: Chapters 1 - 3 (Over 40% OFF) SGCB Price: $29.95 (list price $50.00) VOLUME TWO: Chapters 4 - 11 (Over 40% OFF) SGCB Price: $29.95 (list price $50.00) VOLUME THREE: Chapters 12 - 22 (Over 40% OFF) SGCB Price: $29.95 (list price $50.00) ORDER THE COMPLETE THREE VOLUME SET AND SAVE EVEN MORE (NEARLY 45% OFF) SGCB Price: $84.00 (list price $150.00)

DeYoung fleshes out the Ten Commandments in a way that helps us see the wisdom of our Creator and Redeemer in directing us on our pilgrim way. I highly recommend this book!” -Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California “Kevin DeYoung has emerged as one of this generation’s premier preachers and most articulate communicators. Those who know his ministry will find what they have come to expect from him in The Ten Commandments: What They Mean, Why They Matter, and Why We Should Obey Them. I encourage anyone searching to know God’s Word better and how it applies to the Christian life to buy this book and read it.” -Jason K. Allen, President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary “Is understanding the Ten Commandments necessary under the new covenant? A resounding yes! Thorough, accessible, relevant, and convicting, this book offers the most insightful analysis of the Ten Commandments I’ve ever read, skillfully applying them to our lives today. DeYoung beautifully marries grace and truth, leading the reader to understand the importance of obedience and the cross that makes it possible.” -Vaneetha Rendall Risner, author, Walking Through Fire: A Memoir of Loss and Redemption “We know what the Ten Commandments are. But do we know why they are, and how they apply to our lives today, especially in light of Jesus? This book is a rigorous yet accessible guide to the meaning, application, and life-giving beauty of God’s commands. At a time when many people—including some Christians—want to distance themselves from the Old Testament or declare it obsolete, this book is a relevant and much-needed refresher. For parents, pastors, teachers, and leaders seeking resources to help unpack the place of the Ten Commandments for Christians today, this is essential reading.” -Brett McCracken, Senior Editor, The Gospel Coalition; author, Uncomfortable and Hipster Christianity KDY HARDCOVER FIRST APPEARED IN 2018 SGCB Price: $11.50 (list price $18.00) ORDER WITH COMPANION VOLUME "THE LORD'S PRAYER" by DeYoung SGCB Price: $20.00 (list price $35.00) THIS IS THE PRICE FOR BOTH TITLES
		THE RULE OF LOVE Broken, Fulfilled and Applied J.V. Fesko In 'The Rule of Love', J. V. Fesko gives an introductory exposition of the Ten Commandments. Beginning with the importance of the prologue, and then addressing each Commandment in turn, he sets forth a balanced and biblical approach that places the law in proper perspective. Throughout the book, Fesko analyzes the historical context of GodÆs giving the law in order to help us accurately understand the moral demands God places upon humanity. Yet, Fesko does not stop there; he also discusses the covenantal and redemptive context in which the law was given. Thus, he shows that the law is not presented to us in order for us to present ourselves right before God. Rather, it demonstrates our failure to love God as we should and points us to Christ and His perfect obedience in all that God requires of us. Fesko also shows how Christ applies the commandments to His people by the indwelling power and presence of the Holy Spirit. This is an excellent survey of the Ten Commandments that promises to bring about a more accurate understanding of the proper uses of the law, as well as engender profound gratitude for all that God is for us in Christ.

Farley, Foreword by Ford Lewis Battles Widely known as one of the church's most significant theologians, John Calvin was also a skilled preacher with the ability to proclaim biblical truth with power and relevance. These sermons develop the essence of his teaching on the moral law in a popular and engaging manner. Pastors preaching through the Ten Commandments and serious Bible students will take great delight in reading Calvin's exposition of the Decalogue, which is called "the true and eternal rule of righteousness [for all] who wish to conform their lives to God's will." Here you will find a collection of sixteen sermons by John Calvin that shed light on his understanding and application of the Ten Commandments. These sermons develop the esssence of his teaching on the moral law in a popular and engaging manner. Calvin began his series of sermons on the Ten Commandcments on Friday, June 7, 1555. They belong to a larger corpus of sermons on Deuteronomy, which Calvin had initiated on March 20 earlier that year and which he would not conclude until the following summer in July, 1556. This series on the Decalogue, however, dates only from June 7 to July 19, 1555. First Sermon - June 7, 1555, Deuteronomy 4:44 - 5:3 Second Sermon - June 12, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:4-7 Third Sermon - June 17, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:8-10 Fourth Sermon - June 19, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:11 Fifth Sermon - June 20, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:12-14 Sixth Sermon - June 21, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:13-15 Seventh Sermon - June 26, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:16 Eighth Sermon - July 1, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:17 Ninth Sermon - July 2, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:18 Tenth Sermon - July 3, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:19 Eleventh Sermon - July 4, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:20 Twelfth Sermon - July 5, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:21 Thirteenth Sermon - July 16, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:22 Fourteenth Sermon - July 17, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:23-27 Fifteenth Sermon - July 18, 1555, Deuteronomy 5:28-33 Sixteenth Sermon - July 19, 1555, Deuteronomy 6:1-4 SGCB CALVIN SERMON FOUR-PACK NOW AVAILABLE TO SHIP NEW SGCB SGCB SERMON SPECIAL sss jcs 1212 botjc bf12 jcc NOW AVAILABLE TO SHIP - NEARLY 50% OFF SGCB Price: $14.95 (list price $28.00) Order with the Complete SGCB CALVIN SERMON FOUR-PACK SGCB Price: $48.00 (list price $100.00) SAVE $52.00 MORE THAN 50% OFF
click for details		CONDUCT FOR THE CRAYON CROWD EDNA GERSTNER One of the great commands of Scripture to children is “Do not forsake the teaching of your mother.” A godly mother is one of the greatest gifts any child can have. More than anyone else, she is the great imparter of knowledge to her children. In this collection of stories, written for her daughter Rachel (then 6 years old), Edna Gerstner, wife of the late Dr. John H. Gerstner, teaches Rachel the ways and wisdom of God. Herein is explained love, marriage, death, the Ten Commandments, election, the will of man, and many other theological concepts at a level for young children which they can and will understand. A PREFACE FOR PARENTS "Before I had a daughter of my own, I did not realize how very full of questions and ethical problems the life of a preschool child could be. I started to write these stories to meet a need of my own child. As I read the pages to her, I noted her suggestions. When she questioned the meaning of a word, I used a simpler one. When she disliked a story, I discarded it. Finally in my notebook I collected, before she was six, the stories included in this book. Some incidents really happened; some did not. But all COULD have happened and are within the possibility range of her preschool mind. This is my daughter's book. And so I must dedicate it to my stern little critic and co-author, my daughter Rachel." -Edna Gerstner A WORD FROM THE CO-AUTHOR "When I was little my mother's stories of India opened a world of mystery and adventure to me. Her vivid descriptions of tigers in the jungle, cobras coiled up under dolls, and lonely walks in the Himalayan mountains captivated me in a manner no television program ever could. Her stories were all spun from the bedrock of real life, which made them all the more compelling to me. I was learning about my ancestors, their journeys, their faith, and the dreams that took them halfway around the world to lands as far away and exotic as Ali Baba's cave. It is a heritage I am proud of. Now a story-teller and teacher myself, I credit my mother as a major influence in my choice of careers. Her ability to spin a good tale and to describe the world around her in thoughtful, descriptive prose is a quality I absorbed during the 'twilight storytelling hours' contained in this collection. My mother also has the rare knack of observing the simple stuff of life and elevating it to a profound level. She has the ability to turn a simple incident into a parable of the spirit. Thus her stories of panthers, stray dogs, pythons, and Great Danes take on a rich, spiritual texture to be read and mulled on more than once. I hope you enjoy my mother's stories, and the conversations we created together as mother and daughter. They reflect some of the most treasured memories of my childhood." -Rachel (Gerstner) Pruitt Mrs. Gerstner, the author of Jonathan and Sarah, Song by the River, and Idelette, shows her wisdom and patience in raising up her children in the way they should go. This book is for children to read for themselves, but parents as well can learn from this godly woman. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction: What Shall We Call It? 1. Be Like Jesus - Hebrews 12:2 2.

		STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES: Volumes One - Twelve (1922 - 1944) A.W. PINK THESE VOLUMES ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. The books of Arthur W. Pink are becoming increasingly scarce. Publishers are fast dropping doctrinally sound books like Pink, in favor of feel-good, watered down stuff. This the first complete printing of all of Pink's works. Get them while you can, for they are a treasure, and will certainly become valuable collector's items for lovers of God's Word. Pink was a theosophist before his conversion, and became a much traveled Baptist preacher. Now, because of his regeneration by God the Spirit, He has become noted for his many Biblically sound books. And all of those books appeared as monthly installments in his magazine, then collected into bound volumes as Studies in the Scriptures, except The Sovereignty of God. These 33 volumes of the magazine were issued yearly for 33 years. He also taught by mail some 100 or so students during this period, besides preaching at many Bible conferences. He was a devoted, intense student of the Bible, devoting a set number of hours per day in such study. Would-be visitors were met at the door and told by Mrs. Pink, Mr. Pink is in his study. He brooked no interruption. He had a photographic mind which carried prodigious information in it, to the point where he could not only often quote a passage, but tell you the page and the edition from which he was quoting it, though not having seen that page for years. Because of this ability it took a very brave man indeed to contradict something which Pink was teaching. For this man was capable of rolling out 50 or 60 pertinent Scripture quotations to prove his point. Having read all the 10,000 pages of Pink, and having been taught by him for two years before his death, the Reviewer is certainly prejudiced in his favor. Nevertheless, it is our honest opinion that every one of the readers of these volumes will profit immensely from all these volumes. First, because there are many excellent articles by outstanding authors, and from magazines and news media, that no longer can be found. This is particularly true in the first ten volumes or so, before Pink began to personally write all the articles. Secondly, because there are hundreds of short articles by Pink, on various interesting subjects, which have not been included in any of his books. Among to be noticed are his first articles of each year, usually only a page or two, but full of meat. Some of these short articles have been printed in booklet form, but few have access to them any more. For example, The Fourfold Salvation, several booklets on the Sabbath, etc., each of which will enrich and inform the reader. Thirdly, There are many short quotations appearing here and there full of pithy and memorable truths, for Pink was a very judicious reader who knew what would best stir the reader to further study on a subject, or on a pregnant verse of the Scriptures. Fourthly, There have been some very injudicious editing of some of Pink's writings in the published books. Particularly to be noted is the removal of Pink's entire chapter on Reprobation from the Banner of Truth edition of The Sovereignty of God. Pink would have been justly furious about this ill-treatment because it puts him in a false position regarding what he considered a very important doctrine. In short, you will gain considerable benefit from having ALL of Pink's writings in these 33 volumes, blessings which you would miss if you only would read his published books. ALL THE FOLLOWING UNEDITED VOLUMES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SET: Exposition of Hebrews (he quotes the best of the best authors, including Owen, Gouge, Brown) The Life of David (including in the SGP publication, I & II Samuel) - The Life of Elijah (much of 1 Kings) - The Life of Elisha (much of 2 Kings) - The Satisfaction of Christ (great on atonement) - The Gospel of John - Gleanings in Genesis - Gleanings in Exodus - Gleanings in Joshua - The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross - The Prayers of the Apostles -The Sermon on the Mount - The Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer - Exposition of 1 John 1 and 2, Arthur W. Pink - The Doctrine of Human Depravity - Exposition of I & II Samuel, Matthew Henry, John Gill, Arthur W. Pink (includes Life of David, Pink) - Practical Christianity - Pink Jewels - The Saint's Perseverance - Sanctification - The Saints' Perseverance - The Doctrine of Reconciliation - The Attributes of God - Studies in Saving Faith - The Divine Inspiration of the Scriptures - The Ten Commandments - Profiting From the Word - The Doctrine of Election - Understanding the Scriptures and dozens of others which I cannot recall at present. If you were able to obtain all of these in separate volumes at today's prices they would cost you much more than $1,000.00. You will not want to miss this opportunity to own this precious set, and to have it to will it to your children. This is a Best Set in Print ARTHUR W. PINK (1890-1953) was a Baptist Preacher in England, Australia, and the United States. He is most famous for his book The Sovereignty of God. After its advent, he, assisted by his editor Mr. I. Herendeen, launched his yearly publication, Studies in the Scriptures in 1921. These continued until his death, totaling altogether 33 volumes of 288 pp. each. Most of Pink's books are taken from these yearly volumes (written monthly in 24 page format). AWP12 VOLUMES 1 - 12 in Hardcover (THESE VOLUMES ARE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE!

click for details		A COMPLETE BODY OF DIVINITY: Sermons Upon the Westminster Shorter Catechism THOMAS WATSON, with a Preface and Appendix by C.H. Spurgeon In 1878 Charles H. Spurgeon wrote a Preface to his publication of a new revised edition of Watson's 'Body of Divinity', which he introduced with these words: "Thomas Watson's BODY OF PRACTICAL DIVINITY is one of the most precious and peerless works of the Puritans; and those best acquainted with it prize it most. Watson was one of the most concise, racy, illustrative, and suggestive of those eminent divines who made the Puritan age the Augustan period of evangelical literature. There is a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience and practical wisdom throughout all his works, and his BODY OF DIVINITY is, beyond all the rest, useful to the student and the minister." Spurgeon later informs us that the primary purpose of the new edition of this classic work was for the benefit of the students in The Pastor's College. He then tells us that Rev. George Rogers, principal of the Pastor's College, carefully superintended the issue of this edition, and in a note written to Spurgeon said: "I know of no work with so much sermon matter within the same compass. In Howe, and Charnock, and Owen, we must often read much before we are tempted to close the book and think out a whole sermon, but Watson teaches us to make short work of it. The whole may be utilized. On this account it would be, I think, of great value to all our students who have pastorates. It is for their benefit, I suppose, you wished the reprint. All editions extant which we have seen, abound in errors and imperfections. These have been rectified, not entirely we fear, but in a degree as nearly approaching to accuracy as in a revision of another's composition could be expected. No alteration of sentiment has been made, but every shade of the author's meaning has been scrupulously retained." "This book, first published after Watson's death in 1692, was his magnum opus and became his most famous work. Following the question and answer format of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, it offers 176 sermons on the essential teachings of Christianity. It shows the author's deep understanding of spiritual truths and his ability to make them clear to anyone. Unlike most other systematic theologies, it weds knowledge and piety together, and can be used effectively in daily devotions." - Dr. Joel Beeke A unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of Spurgeon's APPENDIX ON BAPTISM which is placed at the end of the Watson's work. Spurgeon explained the reason for the Appendix in the closing words of his Preface: "As it would be most uncandid to suppress any part of an author's opinion, the chapter on Infant Baptism remains as it came from his pen; but our conscience could not allow us to issue it without inserting a statement of our own views as an Appendix. We trust this method will commend itself to all; we knew not what fairer and more honest course to pursue." This is the COMPLETE Body of Divinity by Watson as it covers all the material in the Shorter Catechism. In more recent times Banner of Truth has published his work and entitled his exposition of the first 38 questions of the catechism The Body of Divinity, and then his two other sections have been published under the titles The Ten Commandments and The Lord's Prayer. This one volume contains the complete contents of all three of those volumes and puts them conveniently in one book. THOMAS WATSON (1620-1686) graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he was known for being a hard student. He was a man of considerable learning, a popular but judicious preacher, and eminent in the gift of prayer. He is one of the most popular of all the English Puritans and, certainly one of the most readable. While the volume republished here was his most popular work he also wrote several others that have been reprinted time and time again, such as, Heaven Taken by Storm, The Godly Man's Picture, The Beatitudes, All Things for Good and The Doctrine of Repentance.

click for details		THE SHORTER CATECHISM ILLUSTRATED: From Christian History and Biography John Whitecross "This unusual volume follows the doctrinal structure of the classic Puritan catechism, expanding each doctrinal point not with exposition, as is customary, but with many factual stories well selected by the author from a wide range of sources. Thus such subjects as Providence, Prayer and The Ten Commandments are illuminated with telling and sometimes fascinating narratives. First published in 1828, and passing through many editions in the last century, the book has been revised for greater usefulness today. SAMPLES: Matthew Henry, a little before his death, said to a friend, "You have been accustomed to take notice of the sayings of dying men: this is mine, That a life spent in the service of God, and in communion with Him, is the most comfortable and pleasant life that any one can live in this world." A Polish prince was accustomed to carry the picture of his father always in his bosom; and on particular occasions used to take it out and view it, saying, "Let me do nothing unbecoming so excellent a father." A suitable reflection for a Christian! The punctuality of John Newton, while tide-surveyor at Liverpool, was particularly remarked. One day, however, some business had detained him, and he came to his boat much later than usual, to the surprise of those who had observed his former punctuality. He went out in the boat as heretofore, to inspect a ship, but by some accident the ship blew up just before he reached it; and it appears, that if he had left the shore a few minutes sooner, he must have perished with the rest on board. It was remarked by one, 'If I have been honored to do any good in my day; if I have been of any use to the church of Christ, to my family, and to my fellow-creatures; if I have enjoyed any happiness in life (and I am happy to say I have had a large share); if I have any hope beyond the grave, and that hope I would not exchange for a thousand worlds-I owe all to the Bible.' In the Memoirs of Thomas Boston of Ettrick appears the following: Singing at family worship Psalm 121, this view of the Bible was given me, namely, that whatever were the particular occasions of the writing of it or any part thereof, I am to look upon it as written for me as much as if there were not another person in the world, and so is everybody else to whose hand it comes.' Sometimes there were more kings than one in Sparta, who governed by joint authority. A king was occasionally sent to some neighbouring senate in the character of a Spartan ambassador. Did he, when so sent, cease to be a king of Sparta, because he was also an ambassador? No; he did not divest himself of his regal dignity, but only added to it that of public deputation. So Christ, in becoming man, did not cease to be God; but though He ever was, and still continued to be, King of the whole creation, He acted as the voluntary servant and messenger of the Father. Among the many whom George Whitefield was honored to be the means of converting to the knowledge and love of the truth, and who will be a crown of joy to him in the day of the Lord, it is perhaps not generally known that the celebrated James Hervey is to be mentioned. In a letter to Whitefield, Hervey expresses himself thus: 'Your journals, dear sir, and sermons, especially that sweet sermon on What think ye of Christ? were the means of bringing me to the knowledge of the truth.' David Dickson, once Professor of Divinity in Edinburgh, being asked, when on his deathbed, how he found himself answered, "I have taken my good deeds and bad deeds, and thrown them together in a heap, and fled from them both to Christ, and in Him I have peace." John Whitecross, a schoolmaster, knew well what would gain the attention of the young and the book can be recommended for children of ten and over; it will also be of general interest to all readers and a valuable treasury of illustrative matter for the many in the home, school or church who have the responsibility of making Biblical teaching interesting.

(1813-1887) Though he was born in Liverpool, England in 1813, Newton was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and then served as an Episcopal rector in Philadelphia for many years. In addition to thirty volumes of childrenÆs sermons, he wrote Illustrated Rambles in Bible Lands, Five-Minute Talks for the Young, Heroes of the Early Church, Heroes of the Reformation, and The Life of Jesus Christ.He also served as Editor of Periodicals from 1867-1877.

		AFFIRMING THE APOSTLE'S CREED; KEEPING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; and PRAYING THE LORD'S PRAYER JAMES I. PACKER ALL THE GREAT REFORMED CATECHISMS COVER THE LEADING DOCTRINES OF THE FAITH; EXPOUND AND APPLY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND EXPLAIN THE LORD'S PRAYER. THIS IS J.I. PACKER'S MODERN ATTEMPT TO COVER ALL THESE ESSENTIAL AREAS OF FAITH AND LIFE. (1) AFFIRMING THE APOSTLE'S CREED The Apostles' Creed is the oldest, most beautiful succinct summary of Christian beliefs. Though often recited in unison during worship services, the creed begins with the phrase "I believe," making it a deeply personal profession of faith. But when was the last time you examined it closely? In Affirming the Apostles' Creed, an excerpt from Growing in Christ, noted Bible scholar and author J. I. Packer explains the meaning and implications of each phrase of this great creed. Each concise chapter serves as an invitation to dive further into the creed-and as a result, into the essentials of the Christian faith-by concluding with discussion questions and Bible passages for further study. (2) KEEPING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS They're often mistakenly considered God's "rules"-his outdated list of do's and don'ts that add up to a guilt-ridden, legalistic way of life. But as beloved author and Bible scholar J. I. Packer probes the purpose and true meaning of the Ten Commandments, you'll discover that these precepts can aptly be called God's blueprint for the best life possible. They contain the wisdom and priorities everyone needs for relational, spiritual, and societal blessing-and it's all coming from a loving heavenly Father who wants the best for his children. Not only does Packer deliver these truths in brief, readable segments, but he includes discussion questions and ideas for further study at the end of each chapter. This book will challenge you to view the commandments with new eyes and help you to understand-perhaps for the first time-the health, hope, and heritage you're offered there. (3) PRAYING THE LORD'S PRAYER Praying is a problem for many people. Christians often go through the motions of prayer because it is expected of them, but they are often left wondering, "Did God hear me? Does he even care?" In his book Praying the Lord's Prayer, an excerpt from Growing in Christ, J. I. Packer presents a powerful truth: prayer is a natural activity between the Heavenly Father and his children. As Packer works through each phrase of Christ's pattern of prayer, readers will begin to grasp the basic principles and guidelines of prayer. As readers apply the truths of this book to their prayer lives, they will experience intimate communication with God and will strengthen their own conversations with their Father in heaven.

click for details		THE COLLECTED SERMONS OF JAMES DURHAM: Vol. One: General Sermons, Vol. Two: CHRIST CRUCIFIED:The Marrow of the Gospel in 72 Sermons on Isaiah 53; Vol. Three, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS James Durham VOLUME ONE: This volume contains sermon series titled 'The Blessedness of the Death of Those That Die in the Lord,' 'The Unsearchable Riches of Christ' (Communion sermons), 'Heaven upon Earth' (on conscience), 'The Great Gain of Contenting Godliness,' and 'The Great Corruption of Subtle Self,' as well as miscellaneous sermons that appeared in various publications. The last includes a recent transcription from manuscript of one of Durham's most important sermons preached at the beginning of the Protester-Resolutioner schism in Scotland. All have been uniformly edited and cross-referenced as needed. Also included is an introduction covering the life and works of Durham. VOLUME TWO: CHRIST CRUCIFIED - First published in 1683, then in 1686, this collection of sermons was reprinted six times in the eighteenth century. The present reprint is carefully and beautifully done; it uses the 1702 edition as the base text but also takes the other editions into account. This book belongs in the class of Friedrich Krummacher's 'The Suffering Savior.' Like Krummacher, Durham was gifted at describing the sufferings of Christ through illustration, though his language is now antiquated. For example, in describing Christ's agony in Gethsemane, he writes, "There was such a striving, wrestling and conflicting, not with man without him, but with inward pressures on his spirit, that he is like one in a barrace, or cock-pit, or engaged in a duel with a mighty combatant, sore put to it, very far beyond aught that we can conceive of, so that he sweat great drops of blood." The sixty-ninth sermon on making use of Christ's intercession is a masterpiece. This is an excellent book for believers who yearn for a more intimate fellowship with Christ in His sufferings. John Duncan said to a friend who wanted to draw closer to Christ, "Read Durham on the fifty-third of Isaiah at my request. He has much repetition and you may be disgusted with that. But it's repetition of a very fine thing, the eating of Christ's flesh and the drinking of His blood. Well, that's what we must be repeating, in fact, all our life long." The Marrow of the Gospel is one of the best commentaries ever written on Christ's person and work in redemption. Charles Spurgeon highly recommended this book, saying, "This is marrow indeed. We need say no more: Durham is a prince among spiritual expositors." Others have said this work equals if not excels all of Durham's other publications. Size: 7+10. Hardcover. Smyth sewn. 704 pages. Extensive Table of Contents, Subject and Scripture Index. Side headings VOLUME THREE: AN EXPOSITION OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Of the works of James Durham, this exposition of the Ten Commandments was reprinted most often. As with his sermons, it is filled with perspicuous opening of the Word, practical application, and the clearing of 'several momentous questions and cases of conscience.' The only regret is that because he was preaching similar material at the time, the coverage of these lectures on the first table is lengthier than the coverage of the second table. Nevertheless, the work has always been held in high regard, and the in-depth treatments of the second, third, and fourth commandments commend it and make it particularly useful today when the Lord’s name, worship, and day of worship are much abused. Gilfillan observes on the last that 'the Law Unsealed of the eminent James Durham, published in 1675 by his widow, contains a very full and able discussion of Sabbattic doctrine and duty, and discovers the learning and deep piety which are evident in his other writings. It received the warm commendation of Dr. Owen, and its numerous editions attest the large measure of popular favor which it has won.' Indeed, Walker observes, Durham's 'thorough, searching, cumbrous intellect, reminds you not seldom of John Owen.'

click for details		GOING BEYOND THE FIVE POINTS: Pursuing a More Comprehensive Reformation General Editor: Rob Ventura, Contributors: Earl Blackburn, Richard Barcellos, Sam Waldron & Robert P. Martin In recent years, a doctrinal shift has taken place among believers so great that even the secular press has taken notice. Christians across denominational lines are laying hold of the biblical truth of God's electing love and saving grace in Christ, commonly called 'Calvinism.' For many, this marks the beginning of a deeper study into the whole counsel of God in Scripture. A thirst to be thoroughly biblical in all areas of life is driving a more comprehensive present-day reformation beyond the famous 'five points.' This book captures the voices of seasoned Reformed pastors graciously guiding and encouraging Christ's beloved sheep to press on and to seek the 'old paths, where the good way is' (Jer. 6:16). In this anthology you will be instructed concerning the abiding relevance of the Ten Commandments, God-centered worship, the masterful unfolding of God's great plan of redemption through divine covenants, the identity, nature, and work of the church, and the help that confessions of faith lend to our grasp of God's glorious Word. TABLE OF CONTENTS Contributors Editor's Preface | Rob Ventura Foreword | Dr. James White Chapter 1 - The Ten Commandments and the Christian | Dr. Richard C. Barcellos Chapter 2 - The Regulative Principle | Dr. Sam Waldron Chapter 3 - Covenant Theology | Earl Blackburn Chapter 4 - The Church | Earl Blackburn Chapter 5 - The Legitimacy and Use of Confessions of Faith | Dr. Robert Paul Martin ENDORSEMENTS "The rediscovery of 'the doctrines of grace' among Baptists during the last sixty years has thrilled my heart! However, this welcome advance does not make a reformation. The further necessary questions of 'what is the church?' 'how should we worship God?' 'what is Christ like living?' stand before us still, begging for biblical reformation. 'Going Beyond the Five Points' provides clear biblical direction for reforming churches today. Barcellos' defense of the Ten Commandments for Christian living under grace is unassailable. Blackburn's chapters on Covenant Theology and the doctrine of the church are indispensable to Baptist reformation. Waldron's explanation of the Regulative Principle is greatly needed by Baptists to remind us of our foundational principle which needs renewed application to worship and government. Martin's persuasive defense of why Baptists need confessions of faith today is irrefutable. To gather them together as Ventura has done provides a classic standard for further Baptist reformation today. Baptist pastors, students, and church members need to study this book to understand what it means to build biblical and Reformed Baptist churches today for the glory of Christ." - Dr. Fred A. Malone, Senior Pastor First Baptist Church Clinton, Louisiana "Going Beyond the Five Points is a wonderful pastoral resource to give to any brother or sister in Christ who has begun the journey of better understanding the doctrines of grace. If the Five Points are the appetizer for the hungry believer, these essays will provide a rich and satisfying main course to guide them in a deeper understanding of the truth." - Jim Savastio, Pastor of Reformed Baptist Church of Louisville, Kentucky "Some truths lie close to the surface, others require more digging. In the substance of this book, you will profit from the groundbreaking labours of others, men who have begun to turn over the soil in order to expose the consequences and applications of a thorough embrace of God's sovereign grace displayed in the salvation of his people, considered not just individually but together. Readers willing to put in the effort will find much to ponder and much from which to profit." - Jeremy Walker, Pastor of Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley, England /18 40% Discount for this Brand New Title SGCB Price: $16.75 (list price $25.00)
		THE SANCTITY OF THE MORAL LAW JOHN MURRAY (1898-1975) In 1935, at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA, John Murray gave an address called, “The Sanctity of the Moral Law.” (“Sanctity” in this context means holiness or sacredness.) In this address Murray talked about the moral law which is summarized in the Ten Commandments. Murray’s lecture is a very helpful discussion of the moral law and its importance for Christians. I appreciate how he ended this address: “As we recognize the awful sanctity that surrounds the law, we shall certainly be crushed with a sense of our own hell-deserving guilt and hopeless inability. We shall certainly be constrained to cry out, ‘Woe is me for I am undone.’ ‘Surely I am more stupid than any man, and I have not the understanding of a man’ (Is. 6:5; Prov. 30:2). But in that condition there falls upon our ears and into our hearts the sweet news of the gospel, the gospel of a crucified and risen Redeemer and Lord. “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us’ (Gal. 3:13). We shall be constrained to come to Calvary. But when we come to Calvary for the expiation of our guilt and the remission of our sin, it is not to diminish our esteem of that law nor relax our sense of its awful sanctity and binding authority. Oh no! …When we are possessed by the sense of the authority and sanctity of the moral law, we must come to Calvary if any true and living hope is to be engendered within us. But when we rise from our prostration before the Cross, it is not to find the moral law abrogated, but to find it by the grace of God wrought into the very fiber of the new life in Christ Jesus. If the Cross of Christ does not fulfill in us the passion of righteousness, we have misinterpreted the whole scheme of divine redemption. ‘For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh’ (Rom. 8:3). Is it that the moral law might cease to bind and regulate? Oh no! But ‘that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.’ JMRAA* LIMITED QUANTITY HAVE BEEN PRINTED SGCB Price: $1.50 (list price $3.00)
