“The world today is looking for, and desperately needs, true Christians. I am never tired of saying that what the Church needs to do is not to organize evangelistic campaigns and attract outside people, but to begin herself to live the Christian life. If she did that, men and women would be crowding into our buildings. They would say, ‘What is the secret of this?’”

   -   D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

One of the greatest needs of our time is for the Spirit of God to cultivate biblical godliness in us in order to put the glory of Christ on display through us, all to the glory of God the Father.

Even where churches are engaged heavily in discipleship, visitors and members often have gaps in their understanding and practice. 

These booklets treat matters that are vital to Christian experience, and each contribution aims to address a wide variety of people and circumstances at a fundamental and introductory level. While some booklet series aim to enlighten the mind, these booklets aim to warm the affections as well. The goal is to promote communion with the triune God and to transform the entire person in thought, speech, and behavior. 

We need a Christianity that puts the transformative power of God in the gospel on display through developing a communion with God that is visible to the world.

A SKETCH OF THE REFORMER'S LIFE

Martin Luther (1483–1546) contributed so much to the development of Western civilization that it is not overstatement to declare that he changed the world as he set the Protestant Reformation in motion five hundred years ago. In this brief sketch, you will learn about the exciting historical facts and fascinating events surrounding this Reformer’s influential life. Luther’s story provides a picture of the gospel — an object lesson of faith, grace, and the forgiveness that can be found only in Jesus Christ.

Many Christians mistakenly believe that true Christians don’t get depressed, & this misconception heaps additional pain & guilt onto Christians who are suffering from mental & emotional distress. Murray comes to the defense of depressed Christians, asserting that Christians do get depressed!

He explains why & how Christians should study depression, what depression is, & the approaches caregivers, pastors, & churches can take to help those who are suffering from it.

With clarity & wise biblical insight, Dr. Murray offers help & hope to those suffering from depression, the family members & friends who care for them, & pastors ministering to these wounded members of their flock.

When some people smile, they ignite smiles in people around them. They have contagious smiles. If that’s what a contagious smile is, what is contagious Christian living? It is living that is so godly and so consistent that people around them cannot help but be impacted and inspired!

In Contagious Christian Living, Joel R. Beeke looks at four people in the Bible to find out how people today can live an influential life in dependence on the Holy Spirit. Here is your invitation to read about, and pray for, the sacrificial submission of Jephthah’s daughter, the Christ-centeredness of Bartimaeus, the contagious blessings of Jacob, and the consistent integrity of Daniel.

REFORMED AND PURITAN PERSPECTIVES ON PRAYER

In Taking Hold of God, you will enter the treasury of the church of Jesus Christ and discover some of its most valuable gems on the subject of Christian prayer. 

The writings of the Reformers and Puritans shine with the glory of God in Christ, offering us much wisdom and insight today that can make our own prayer lives more informed, more extensive, more fervent, and more effectual. 

Six contemporary scholars explore the writings & prayer lives of several Reformers & Puritans — among them Martin Luther, John Calvin, William Perkins, Matthew Henry, & Jonathan Edwards — guiding us to growth in prayer & a more grateful communion with God.

“A true church, Reformed according to God’s Word, is the dwelling place of God, maintaining and declaring the truth which He has been pleased to reveal.” 

   -   Malcolm Watts.

Watts then looks specifically at the basics of the Reformed faith and explains, both biblically and historically, the distinctives of a Reformed church, its doctrines, and its practices in worship, church government, church discipline, and evangelism. For both believers who are just discovering the Reformed faith and those who need to be reminded of its distinctives, this handbook offers readers solid answers to the question of what it means to be Reformed.

NEW STUDIES ON JOHN CALVIN AND HIS LEGACY

In Theology Made Practical, Joel R. Beeke, David W. Hall, & Michael A. G. Haykin declare the significance of John Calvin’s life and ideas — particularly his contributions to systematic theology, pastoral theology, and political theology — as well as the influence he had on others through the centuries.

With focused studies related to the Trinity, predestination, the Holy Spirit, justification, preaching, missions, principles of government, welfare, and marriage, this book demonstrates how Calvin’s thought has been, and still is, a dynamic wellspring of fruitfulness for numerous areas of the Christian life. More than 450 years since Calvin experienced the beatific vision, his thinking about God and His Word still possesses what our culture passionately longs for — true relevancy.
