Christian past, followers of Christ often feel disoriented or even frightened.
When human leaders and political advocates fail us, doubts arise and the road
to compromise beckons.
In this book, Dr. Stephen J. Nichols points to the almighty God as the source
and ground of our confidence. Though the whole world may shake around
$11.99 us, His kingdom is unshakable. This is a time for confidence.

The Art of Turning
Kevin DeYoung (10publishing)
PAPERBACK | Kevin DeYoung shows us our conscience isn’t something to be puzzled
over but rather shows from the Bible that conscience is something good, given by God.
Kevin tells us that the secret to a life free from the low–level guilt and shame we so often
experience is to listen to our consciences and turn to Christ. As you read this accessible
book, you’ll discover that when we daily turn to Christ, we will experience the clear
conscience that comes with knowing that Jesus’ blood covers all our wrong.

The New City Catechism
The New City Catechism Devotional
HARDCOVER | Dr. John
MacArthur shows that the best way
to discover the one true God is not
through philosophical discourse
but a careful study of Scripture—
the primary place where God has
chosen to reveal Himself.
PAPERBACK | Throughout the history of
the church, Christians have used catechisms—
collections of questions and answers designed
for memorization and recitation—to teach
others the core doctrines of the faith. The
New City Catechism is a modernday resource
aimed at reintroducing this ancient method of
teaching to Christians today.
HARDCOVER | Seeking to restore this
ancient method of teaching to the regular
life of the church, The New City Catechism
Devotional is a gospel-centered, modern-day
resource that not only summarizes important
Christian beliefs through fifty-two questions
and answers but also helps readers be
transformed by those doctrines.

PAPERBACK | “Andrew Case has provided an

one that has the potential of binding husbands and
wives ever closer together while these prayers seek

crafted hundreds of rich and meaningful prayers
that any and every Christian husband can pray for
his own wife.”

You can go to an evangelical church on a Sunday and be told:
“Christian, you are loved by God, no matter what you’ve
done. God could not love you more than he does.” You
can go to another evangelical church and be told: “You’re a
wretched sinner”. The emphasis can feel very different, and
yet both churches are teaching truth.
Christians are most harmed or helped at the point
where one biblical truth intersects with another.
Matt Fuller has done a superb job in taking us to the
point where our unconditional, unearned and secure
status in Christ meets our dynamic, progressive
transformation in Christ-likeness. The book manages
to affirm the assurance of our union in Christ and
yet not explain away the legitimacy of Christian
guilt, and divine rewards. I love how the book refuses
to be reductionistic. It affirms that obedience in
Christ pleases God and our sins, while atoned for,
still grieve him. This book is clearly written, drenched
in pastoral concern, answering real questions and
coloured with helpful illustrations.
It’s the book I wanted to write and it’s a book I loved
reading.

PAPERBACK | Revelation Unwrapped

PAPERBACK | This is primarily a book
to be worked through. It is written in
the hope that it will not simply be read

Francis Schaeffer
PAPERBACK | Thomas Chalmers
(1780-1847) dominated the life of the

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said, “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?’”
Many people who are new to the church need instruction in the most basic aspects of godly living. Even where churches are engaged
heavily in discipleship, visitors and members often have gaps in their understanding and practice. 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.
For these reasons, Joel Beeke and Ryan McGraw are coediting a series of booklets titled Cultivating Biblical Godliness. 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. This includes teaching people what to believe in order to practice personal holiness as well as
specific directions on how to cultivate biblical godliness in relation to issues that are common to God’s people.
