All of Grace
by C. H. Spurgeon
Description:
In
All of Grace, C.H. Spurgeon outlines the love of God in such
clear, simple language that everyone can understand and be drawn to
the Father. Any attempt to please God based upon our own works brings
self-righteousness and coldness of heart. It is free grace and mercy
of God that makes the heart glow with warmth and thankfulness for
God's love. The heartfelt goal of this dynamic classis is summed up in
Spurgeon's final cry to the reader, "Meet me in heaven!" |

The Potter's Freedom by James White
Description:
Geisler's Chosen but Free sparked a firestorm of controversy
when he labeled Calvinism "theologically inconsistent, philosophically
insufficient, and morally repugnant." White steps into the breach with
his cogent response. His systematic refutation of Geisler's argument
will help you understand what the Reformed faith really teaches
about divine election and how Reformed thought conforms to the gospel.

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ by John
Owen
Description:
The Death of Death in the Death of Christ is a polemical work
designed to show, among other things, that the doctrine of universal
redemption is unscriptural and destructive of the gospel. Nobody has a
right to dismiss the doctrine of the limitedness of the atonement as a
monstrosity of Calvinistic logic until he has refuted Owen's proof
that it is part of the uniform biblical presentation of redemption,
clearly taught in plain text after plain text. |
|

Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot
Description:
In Through The Gates of Splendor, five young men dared to make contact
with a stone-age tribe deep in the jungles of Eduador. The Goal was to
establish communication with a people whose only previous response to
the outside world had been to attack all strangers. The men's mission
combined modern technology with innate ingenuity, sparked by a
passionate determination to get the gospel to a people without Christ.
This new edition of the book offers fresh information about subsequent
developments in Ecuador and in the lives of the five missionary
familes that began in autumn of 1955.

The Bondage of the Will by Martin Luther
Description:
Luther's work is fundamental to an understanding of the chief
Reformation doctrines: our total inability to save ourselves, the
sovereignty of divine grace, justification by faith, and
predestination and God's foreknowledge. This accurate translation
conveys the impetuousness and vigor of the original language. Includes
a 50-page introduction and a helpful Scripture index. |
|

The Religious Affections by Jonathon Edwards
Description:
This book is among the best-known works of Jonathan Edwards. Edwards
seeks to distinguish between true and false religion by showing the
marks of a saving work of the Holy Spirit in men. In his Preface,
Edwards stresses the importance of using "our utmost endeavors clearly
to discern ...wherein true religion does consist". For "till this be
done, it may be expected that great revivings of religion will be but
of short continuance". Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was one of the few
truly great theologians of the English-speaking world, who began his
ministry at Northampton, Massachusetts, when New England had drifted
from the Puritanism of its founders.

Christianity & Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen
Description:
This book, written in response to the liberalism which arose in the
early 1900's, is a classic defense of orthodox Christianity. To expose
the fallacies of liberalism and strengthen the orthodox position, Dr.
Machen establishes the importance of scriptural doctrine and contrasts
the teachings of liberalism and orthodoxy on God and man, the Bible,
Christ, salvation, and the church. These issues remain in conflict
today, testifying to the continuing relevance of this important work.

involved concessions that have seriously eroded biblical Christianity.
His thought-provoking narrative will help you put this vital issue
