Developing a Healthy Prayer Life:

31 Meditations on Communing with God
James W. Beeke and Joel R. Beeke
Foreword by Geoff Thomas

Description
Is your prayer life characterized by such things as sincerity, urgency, and
delight? Engagement in prayer is a vital part of our communion with
God, making a profound impact on our growth in grace. In this book,
you will find thoughtful meditations on prayer in the life of the believer,
as well as ample encouragement to cultivate this spiritual discipline in
your own life. If you want to be more devoted to prayer, or simply want
to assess the health of your prayer life, read this book. It provides both a
helpful examination and a needed tonic for those concerned about grow-
ing in godliness.

Endorsements
“The ancient formula, ‘the law of praying is the law of believing’ (lex
orandi, lex credendi), or, using other words, the way we pray determines
what we believe, expresses an important but forgotten truth. To this adage
we would add ‘the law of living’ (lex vivendi), that is, the way we pray
determines the way we live. The strength of Developing a Healthy Prayer
Life is that its 31 studies treat prayer not as an aspect of the Christian
life, but as the Christian life itself. The Christian life is a life of humble,
submissive, patient, persevering, trusting, thanking, wrestling, waiting,
working, reverent, fervent, constant, dependent, contented, and thought-
ful praying and living. As we pray, so we live, and as we live, so we pray.
We have needed a book that comprehensively, yet simply, teaches us to
pray, not by techniques (though some how-to’s are helpful), but by uniting

A Portrait of Paul:
Identifying a True Minister of Christ
Rob Ventura and Jeremy Walker
Foreword by Joel R. Beeke

Description
What does a true pastor look like, and what constitutes a faithful min-
istry? How can we identify the life and labors of one called by God to
serve in the church of Jesus Christ? To address these questions, Rob
Ventura and Jeremy Walker examine how the apostle Paul describes
his pastoral relation to the people of God in Colossians 1:24–2:5. By
discussing these essential attitudes, qualities, and characteristics of a
faithful minister of Christ, A Portrait of Paul provides gospel ministers
an example of what they should be, and demonstrates for churches the
kind of pastors they will seek if they desire men after God’s own heart.

Endorsements
“This invaluable study of Paul’s life from Rob Ventura and Jeremy
Walker is a wonderful, powerful, soul-stirring examination of Paul’s self-
sacrifice and his unfaltering service to the church. It will both motivate
and encourage you, especially if you’re facing trials, opposition, or dis-
couragement in your service for Christ.” — John MacArthur

“With a refreshing contemporary style, and with humble submission

to the Scripture, these two ministers have given to us a role model for
pastoral life.” — Geoff Thomas

“This work on the Christian ministry is a clarion call to true devotion

and piety in the pastorate. The theology is pure and the language is as
powerful as it is beautiful.” — Paul Washer

“Packed with exposition and application of the finest sort, these pages urge gospel-focused, Christ-centered, God-exalting, Spirit-
empowered, self-denying ministry.” — Derek W. H. Thomas

Target Readership
• Churches looking for a pastor will find guidance in what a faithful man of God will look like.
• Christians looking for a church will find a tool by which they can assess the pastors of the flock in the light of God’s Word, finding men
to whom they can commit the care of their souls.
• Christians already in a church will be better equipped to pray for their pastors and will further understand what it really means to be
shepherded by a man after God’s own heart.
• Ministerial students pursuing the work of the ministry will see a picture of a man they should seek to imitate.
• Pastors will be encouraged to persevere in the high calling of gospel ministry.

Sing a New Song:
Recovering Psalm Singing for
the Twenty-First Century
Edited by Joel R. Beeke and Anthony Selvaggio
Foreword by W. Robert Godfrey

Description
The book of Psalms occupies a unique place in Scripture, being both the
Word from God and words to God from His people. Unfortunately,
psalm singing no longer plays an integral part of worship in most evan-
gelical churches. In this book, thirteen well-respected scholars urge the
church to rediscover the treasure of the Psalms as they examine the his-
tory of psalm singing in the church, present biblical reasons for the litur-
gical practice, and articulate the practical value it provides us today.

Endorsements
“This volume explores the rich historical, biblical, theological, and pas-
toral contexts that inform a commitment to the prayerful use of biblical
psalms in Christian worship today. The book challenges those who sing
psalms exclusively to understand the strengths of their tradition. It chal-
lenges those who sing hymns primarily to reconsider their neglect of the
Psalms. Above all, the volume invites all readers to reconsider the beauty
of biblically shaped prayer and the astonishing grace offered us by a God
who not only calls us to offer worship but also guides and inspires us in
learning how to worship.”
— John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College
and Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan

A Reformed Perspective on Baptism
J.V. Fesko

ENDoRsEMENTs
“This book represents a substantial accomplishment, one that provides
a useful resource for those wanting to deepen their understanding of
the sacraments, particularly baptism. Reflecting a massive amount of
research against the background of an in-depth survey of various views
of baptism in church history, Fesko provides an extensive exegetical and
biblical-theological study of the covenantal and eschatological signifi-
cance of baptism followed by systematic theological reflections on key
issues like baptism as a means of grace, the efficacy of baptism, the bibli-
cal warrant for infant baptism (and against paedocommunion), and the
importance of baptism for the church. One need not agree with Dr.
Fesko at every point to benefit from his considerable labors.”
— richarD B. Gaffin, Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology,
Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary

“On a wide-ranging canvas and with bold strokes, J. V. Fesko gives us

a study of baptism which joins a treasury of theological citations with
strong theological insights. After a survey of the history of the doctrine,
Fesko focuses on the Reformed tradition and its important figures and
confessions. He indicates the biblical dimensions of the meanings of
baptism and provides a positive and constructive statement of its theo-
logical truth. This is a valuable work for its mastery of primary sources
as well as its clear articulation of the covenantal dimensions which give
a Reformed theology of baptism such power and purpose for Christian
believers.” — DonalD k. mckim, Editor, Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith

Most enlightening, however, is his biblical-theological survey of bap-
tism as new creation, covenant judgment, and eschatological judgment.
The book’s emphasis on God’s judgment in baptism is particularly innovative and helpful. These insights pave the way for treating
baptism systematically as a means of grace and as a sacrament in relation to its recipients and ecclesiology. Highly recommended
for all who wish to grapple seriously with the doctrine of baptism and its implications.”

Milk and Honey
Edited by Joel R. Beeke

Description
In the Bible, “milk and honey” speaks of God’s bountiful provision and
symbolizes our basic need for solid spiritual food and sweet communion
with the triune God through Christ. With that in mind, this devotional
book dwells on God’s sustaining grace revealed throughout Scripture.
Unlike some daily devotional books that are an assortment of medita-
tions with no thematic structure, Milk and Honey provides brief devo-
tional thoughts that cover the major contours of Scripture in the course
of a year. Bible books are divided among twelve pastors so that each
month covers a particular portion of Scripture. The result is a devotional
survey of the Bible by able expositors of God’s Word.

Endorsements
“I am confident that Milk and Honey will meet the needs of those read-
ers who are looking for a daily spiritual resource that offers more than
most devotionals available today. Here we have the product of not one,
but twelve like-minded ministers from different denominations who
have taken up the task of providing wholesome food for people with
various spiritual needs. I am impressed with the vast array of subjects
that the authors have covered and the competent way in which they
deal with some very sensitive spiritual matters. May the Lord bless the
combined labors of these faithful pastors to the salvation and spiritual
growth of many in whose hands this book may fall.”

Church of Brantford, Ontario

“God’s pilgrim people, journeying through this wilderness world, daily look up to heaven, only to be supplied with a portion of
manna, which is Christ ministered to us through the written Word, and a supply of water, even those reviving and refreshing
streams of the Holy Spirit proceeding from Christ our Rock. Here, in this new and most excellent book of readings written by
various able and highly respected men of the Reformed persuasion, we have perceptive and helpful comments on numerous bibli-
cal texts covering a whole range of revealed truth. These comments are at times enhanced by well-chosen quotations from such
past worthies as Thomas Watson and Samuel Rutherford. The happy result, evident throughout, is orthodox teaching that blends
doctrine, practice, and experience together. The book is a delight to read. Heartily and unreservedly I commend it to all who wish
to go forth and gather the heavenly manna and quench their thirst with the spiritual waters of life and salvation.”

The 17:18 series
Rob Wynalda
WHy THE 17:18 sERIEs?
In Deuteronomy 17, Moses is leaving final instructions concerning the future of Israel.
As a prophet of God, Moses foretells of when Israel will place a king over the nation
(v. 14). In verse 18, the king is commanded to not simply acquire a copy of the law (the
entire book of Deuteronomy) from the “scroll publishing house,” but to hand write his
own copy of the law.
Thirty-four hundred years later, educators are “discovering” that students that physi-
cally write out their notes by hand have a much greater retention rate than simply hearing
or visually reading the information. Apparently, God knew this to be true of the kings of
Israel also. From such understanding came the conception of this series of books.
HoW To usE THEsE BooKs
Each book is organized so that you can write out your very own copy of Scripture. You
will be writing the Bible text only on the right hand page of the book. This should make
for easier writing and also allows ample space on the left page to write your own notes
and comments. From time to time a question or word will be lightly printed on the left
page; these questions are to aid in further study, but should not interfere with your own
notes and comments.
ENDoRsEMENTs
“There is an old proverb that says ‘Thoughts disentangle themselves when passing over
the lips and through the finger tips.’ The 17:18 Series which encourages us to actually
write out the words of Scripture will be a tremendous tool in putting that proverb into
action in our daily lives. I am happy to commend this project.
— Jerry BriDGes, author of The Pursuit of Holiness
“Several years ago I read an article about copying the Scriptures by hand. I tried it with
the Pastoral Epistles, writing out all three books with a fountain pen in my journal, and
found it a profitable exercise. I am glad to see this series of journals appear, and I hope
they are widely used.”

Christians Get Depressed Too:
Help and Hope for Depressed People
David P. Murray

DEsCRIPTIoN
Many Christians mistakenly believe that true Christians don’t get
depressed, and this misconception heaps additional pain and guilt onto
Christians who are suffering from mental and emotional distress. Author
David P. Murray comes to the defense of depressed Christians, asserting
that Christians do get depressed! He explains why and how Christians
should study depression, what depression is, and the approaches care-
givers, pastors, and churches can take to help those who are suffering
from it. With clarity and wise biblical insight, Dr. Murray offers help
and hope to those suffering from depression, the family members and
friends who care for them, and pastors ministering to these wounded
members of their flock.

ENDoRsEMENTs
“I heartily commend this new and helpful book on depression and
psychiatric illness. It is the condensed result of much reading and
pastoral wisdom, digested into a few non-technical chapters. It is full
of Christian love for those who suffer in this way and who need our

written in these pages when I was a much younger minister.”

A Spiritual Appeal to Christ’s Bride
Jodocus van Lodenstein
Translated by Bartel Elshout
Edited by Joel R. Beeke
Description
A Spiritual Appeal to Christ’s Bride consists of nine sermons preached
by Jodocus van Lodenstein, one of the most prominent leaders of
the Dutch Further Reformation. The sermons stress themes that are
dear to the preacher’s heart: the need for the Holy Spirit to carry the
Reformation further than the mind, the need for perpetual reformation
and growth in piety, the need to cultivate holiness and self-denial, and
the need to know and experience as Christ’s bride an intimate spiritual
relationship with Jesus Christ the perfect Bridegroom. The book calls
nominal Christians to a more profound commitment to Christ, stress-
ing that only such a commitment can deliver the church from shallow-
ness and unholiness. Today, more than ever, the church needs to heed
this call to awaken from its spiritual slumber.
Endorsements
“I am so pleased that these Dutch classics are now available to a wide
audience. The writings of the Dutch Further Reformation—almost
completely inaccessible until now to the English-speaking world — are
a gold mine of spiritual wisdom.”
— Richard J. Mouw, president, Fuller Theological Seminary
“I am delighted that the Dutch Reformed Translation Society is at last
making this material available in the English language. It is a landmark
feature of our Reformed heritage, and it is rich food for the soul in this
or any other age.” — J. I. Packer, Regent College
“Many will surely welcome this new access to the Dutch authors whose
strong writings put faith and certainty into generations of their fellow
countrymen. By their closeness to Scripture and their concern for heart
and head (heat and light), they remain of enduring value.”
— Iain H. Murray, author of The Puritan Hope

Moses’ Self-Denial
Jeremiah Burroughs
Edited by Don Kistler

Description
Reflecting on Hebrews 11:24–25, Jeremiah Burroughs ponders how
Moses relinquished his noble and comfortable rights as the son of
Pharaoh’s daughter to find greater honor as a suffering son of Abraham.
Burroughs explains how Christians are called to deny all honors, privi-
leges, and delights for the sake of Christ. He also shows how God is
especially honored when we forgo selfish desires at a time when they
seem most advantageous to us. You will benefit greatly to see how faith
acts to transform losses caused by self-denial into true honor. This
is an insightful, practical book — a helpful antidote for our natural
selfishness.

Endorsements
“Every new believer, upon first reading the Gospels, is gripped by Jesus’
stark calls for self-denial. Yet self-denial, biblically framed, is not mere
asceticism; it is an exchange of our sin-riddled wills for a higher, bet-
ter, and purer will. Jeremiah Burroughs has served us well through this
book by providing a needed corrective for a church tempted to value
pleasures, honors, and wealth more than Christ. He asks, ‘What is my
honor...my life, so long as God may be glorified?’ He adds, ‘If God’s
honor is not precious in my eyes, what makes me think my honor will
be precious in His?’ Burroughs points us to the source of true delight,
God Himself. I am pleased to heartily recommend this book, praying
that it will challenge your soul as it has mine.”
—Phillip Simpson, author of A Life of Gospel Peace:
A Biography of Jeremiah Burroughs

go to heaven at death — study this book of self-denial.”

Cripplegate in London, two of the largest congregations in England.
He also served as a member of the Westminster Assembly until his
death in 1646.

The Evil of Evils
The Evil of Evils, first printed in 1654, consists of sixty-seven short chapters that expose sin and urge believers
to choose affliction over sin. Burroughs organizes his material around seven major thoughts: (1) there is more
evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; (2) sin and God are contrary to each other; (3) sin is directly
against our good; (4) sin opposes all that is good; (5) sin is the evil of all other evils; (6) sin has infinite dimen-
sion and character; and (7) sin makes us comfortable with the devil. This treatise is invaluable for sensitizing
our consciences to the “exceeding sinfulness of sin” (cf. Rom. 7:13).

The Hymns of Philip Doddridge
Compiled and Edited by
Graham C. Ashworth

Description
Philip Doddridge is best known today for The Rise and Progress of
Religion in the Soul, and perhaps by some for his Family Expositor, which
is an extensive commentary on and paraphrase of the New Testament.
He also served as principal of an important ministerial academy for
non-conforming churches. However, one part of Doddridge’s legacy
that has been sorely neglected in recent years is his hymns. This book
contains 375 of Doddridge’s hymns, which provide poetic reflection
on Old Testament texts, New Testament texts, and various occasions
pertaining to Christians and the church. It also includes a timeline of
Doddridge’s life, a number of helpful indexes, and various compatible
hymn tunes.

Endorsements
“Philip Doddridge was one of the greatest of English Dissenters of the
eighteenth century — capable, orthodox, and supportive of evangelicals.
His hymns, however, have fallen into disuse. Yet, according to the his-

crowning glory of Independent hymnology.’ It is a pleasure to see them
reissued in this book.”
— David Bebbington, Professor of History, University of Stirling, Scotland

“Philip Doddridge’s hymns have been compared to Jacob’s ladder. They

begin on earth and end in heaven. We may trace this principle through-
out this collection and find here many an antidote to our human need
as Doddridge lifts our eyes to view our circumstances in the light of that

Introduction to Reformed scholasticism

Willem van Asselt, et al.
This work supplies a long-standing need in the field of early modern studies by providing a basic
introduction to Reformed scholasticism. Although technical studies abound and interest in the
subject continues to rise, until the appearance of this work by Willem van Asselt and his col-
leagues, students of history have lacked a concise guide to help them navigate the difficult waters
of Reformed scholasticism. This book carefully defines the phenomena of scholasticism and ortho-
doxy, concisely surveys the era, notes the most significant thinkers together with the various tra-
jectories of thought, and references the relevant secondary scholarship. In short, Introduction to
Reformed Scholasticism surveys the topic and provides a guide for further study in early modern
Reformed thought.

Preaching in the Holy spirit

Albert N. Martin
Good pastors pray for the Holy Spirit’s help in preparing biblical sermons that will ade-
quately feed God’s sheep. They also hope for the Spirit’s work in the hearts of the hearers so
that they effectively receive the preached Word. But are these the only ways that preachers
must depend on the Spirit in their preaching? In this book, Albert Martin reminds gospel
ministers of their need to rely on the Holy Spirit as they proclaim God’s Word. He explains
the necessity of the agency and operations of the Holy Spirit, describes its specific manifes-
tations, and discusses ways it is restrained or diminished. Here is a prophetic call to reliance
on God in the very act of proclaiming His Word.

stop Loving the World

William Greenhill
The Puritans were greatly concerned with suppressing worldliness in the church. Today, worldli-
ness is an even greater problem, exacerbated by the fact that so few dare to speak out against it. In
this book, William Greenhill provides modern readers with a healthy antidote to our love affair
with the world. He explains what it means to love the world, exposes the dangers of cherishing it,
shares how we ought to relate to it, and gives encouraging directions for removing our hearts from
it. This is a book with a timeless message, demonstrating the relevance of the Puritans for today.
By God’s grace, it will persuade you that the world and all its charms are not what you should live
for.

A Life of Gospel Peace: A Biography of Jeremiah Burroughs

Phillip Simpson
The writings of Jeremiah Burroughs are some of the most readable and engaging Puritan works
available. Like his Puritan colleagues, Burroughs sought to explain biblical teaching in a heart-
searching manner. In this biography, Phillip Simpson opens a window into the life and times
of Burroughs, providing the context for his memorable sermons and writings. What becomes
apparent is Burroughs’s consistent application of the principles he preached to the conduct of
his life. An ardent call for a gospel-driven life and a peaceable character is reflected in both his
books and life, which stand out remarkably in an era of turmoil and revolution. This is the first
book-length biography of Jeremiah Burroughs.

preached and reworked for publication. They
deal with a very practical problem: how to con-
fess Christ and maintain the integrity of one’s

Meeting Jesus at the Feast: Israel’s
Festivals and the Gospel
John R. Sittema
The Bible tells the unique story of the history
of God’s redemption, focusing on the central
character—Jesus. It was difficult for the ancient
people of Israel to put their faith and hope in
a Messiah who would not make His appear-
ance for more than a thousand years, so God gave them a series
of feasts that pointed to the One who was coming. Today,
we too must know something about the feasts that celebrate
Jesus to augment our understanding and appreciation of Him
as the Messiah. Read this book and meet Jesus at the feasts.

Piety’s Wisdom
J. Mark Beach
Although works exist that
either offer an analysis of
Calvin’s views or serve as
a guide to his Institutes,
none fully share the aim
of J. Mark Beach’s Piety’s
Wisdom. Keeping to the
form, shape, and tenor of
Calvin’s own work, Piety’s
Wisdom offers busy pas-
tors, seminarians, interested
college students, and moti-
vated laypersons a book that presents Calvin on his own
terms. This summary can be used as an introduction to the
Christian faith, as a primer for the study of Calvin, or a
combination of each.
“Mark Beach’s Piety’s Wisdom provides a finely done sum-
mary and analysis of Calvin’s Institutes that should be of
considerable service to Christian laity, pastors, and stu-
dents in coming to terms with the thought of the Genevan
Reformer. Beach writes clearly and concisely, and with con-
siderable insight into Calvin’s thought. The book includes a
short biographical sketch and a contextual introduction to
the Institutes. It stands as one of the best and most trust-
worthy introductions to Calvin presently available.”
—Richard A. Muller, P. J. Zondervan Professor of Historical
Theology at Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, MI
“J. Mark Beach has provided us with a concise guide to
Calvin’s Institutes that succeeds in identifying its contours
and emphases. Calvin’s magnum opus can prove tricky
for the uninitiated and this volume will be invaluable as a
quick and precise summary of the Reformer’s thought. An
ideal accompaniment for those eager to get their teeth into
one of the most important theological texts ever written.”

and Practical Theology, RTS ( Jackson), and Minister of
Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS
“Though road maps (or a GPS) are no substitute for the
experience of traveling through the country side, they
can be a great help to the traveler in identifying the best
route and the highpoints of the trip. J. Mark Beach’s Piety’s
Wisdom is such a help for the reader who hopes to travel or
navigate his or her way through Calvin’s great exposition
of the Christian faith, The Institutes. Written for the gen-
eral reader, Beach offers a useful guide that identifies the
important landmarks, points the way through, and thereby
whets the reader’s appetite for a first-hand acquaintance
with Calvin’s theology.”

“The recent revival in interest in and commitment to the
truths of Reformed theology is due in large measure to the
rediscovery of Puritan literature. The Puritans of old have
become the prophets for our time. This volume is a treasure
for the church.” — Dr. R. C. Sproul
“As furnaces burn with ancient coal and not with the leaves
that fall from today’s trees, so my heart is kindled with the
fiery substance I find in the old Scripture-steeped sermons
of Puritan pastors. A warm thanks to the authors of Meet
the Puritans for all the labor to make them known.”
— Dr. John Piper
“Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson have given us a priceless
treasure in this introduction to the Puritans and Puritan
literature. I have often wished for just such a resource. An
encyclopedic wealth of biographical and bibliographical
information has been distilled here in a simple, readable,
understandable, and wonderfully useful compendium.
For the novice lay person who wants a reliable introduc-
tion to the Puritans, this is the perfect handbook. And for
the seasoned scholar seeking a catalogue of the best avail-
able Puritan literature, this is also an indispensable tool.
My prayer is that it will help spark a new wave of inter-
est in the Puritans, a new appreciation for their theology,
and especially a revival of their passion for careful biblical
exposition.” — Dr. John MacArthur

Joel R. Beeke
Joel R. Beeke analyzes the doctrine of assur-

the Reformed tradition after him. His con-
clusion is that Calvin and post-Reformation
Reformed theologians substantially share the
teaching on assurance, differing only in matters of degree.
Therefore, the teachings of 17th century Reformed theol-
ogy is an advancement of the 16th century Reformers, rather
than a departure. Beeke deals with English Puritanism, and
well as its Dutch counterpart known as the Nadere Reformatie
(Second or Further Reformation). (Banner of Truth Trust, PB,

Some Christians struggle with doubts and

hand extended to all who are sorry for their sins and take refuge
in Christ, and a reminder that the Lord desires to comfort and

today, you will find this sorely neglected and sobering topic an easy, thought-provoking,
and compelling read.

is bound to prove both a delight and a challenge to any Christian who values the riches of
the gospel. It is a spiritual gem that deserves to be read and re-read. In addition, its charm,

Beautifully edited for the modern reader by Dr. Stephen Yuille, The Fading of the Flesh is a
rare spiritual treat.” — Sinclair B. Ferguson

Theologian, who adds the practical to the theo-
retical part of religion.” This phrase-by-phrase
exposition of the Creed applies Scripture to life.
In both tone and substance, Witsius draws the reader into a
deeper understanding of and love for the truths most central to
the Christian faith.

Joel R. Beeke and Heidi Boorsma
Using the alphabet as a guide, this book provides 26 devo-
tional meditations for young children (ages 4–9), based

Christ, and live lives of thankfulness to God for His great
salvation.
“Here is a great resource for parents wondering where
to start with training their children. I highly recommend
God’s Alphabet for Life as an excellent tool for communicat-
ing truth your children will grow into and never outgrow.”

Great doctrines are expressed briefly, simply, interest-
ingly, and persuasively — ideal for a child’s time of daily

Boekestein sensitively tells the story
of de Bres for children, guiding
them through his turbulent life and
times — from his birth in 1522 in a

to his authorship of the Belgic Confession and a life of
suffering, to his martyr’s death in 1567. Skillfully crafted

John owen
Simonetta Carr
John Owen was a great Puritan preacher who lived in England.
In this book, Simonetta Carr informs readers about Owen’s
life, revealing some of the things that interested him while in
school, the care he showed to people when he became a pastor,
and the influential books that he wrote. Readers will also come
to understand the difficult times in which Owen lived and how
he handled the terrors of war and religious persecution. Full of
illustrations and fascinating information, this is an ideal way for
young readers to learn history.
“This book is delightful, both in its illustrations and in the way it
presents the Puritan John Owen. While far from perfect, Owen
was a man who lived in a tumultuous time, and through it he
tried to live faithfully before God. Simonetta Carr wonderfully
takes readers on a brief journey through Owen’s life, a journey
that will be enjoyed by children and adults alike.”
— Kelly M. Kapic, Professor of Theological Studies, Covenant College
“Owen was, and remains, a very important teacher of God’s
ways, and it is good to introduce young people to him.”
—J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College
“Simonetta Carr’s wonderful biography of John Owen is the
third book in what I hope will be a growing collection of biog-
raphies of Christian heroes. In clear, unembellished language
Carr chronicles the life of the ‘Prince of Puritans’ through a
tumultuous period of English history. This book manages to be
simple without being shallow. Young readers will admire the
integrity of Owen’s conscience as a man living in a difficult time
and relish the rich descriptions of Owen’s theological genius.
This is a masterful book. I trust that many others will follow.”

Reformation Heroes
Diana Kleyn and Joel Beeke
The Reformation did not happen instantaneously; it was some-
thing God patiently arranged over a number of years. As you
read this book, you will learn how the Lord used some people
to plant the seeds of church reform long before October 31,
1517, when Martin Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses.
Luther’s story is well-known; we trust you will find it interesting
and instructive to read about him and forty others ( John Knox,
Peter Martyr Vermigli, Zacharias Ursinus, Willem Teellinck,
etc.) who contributed to the Reformation — some well known
and others not so — most of whom are Reformation heroes. To
provide a fuller picture of the many-sided Reformation, chapters
are also included on the Anabaptist and Counter-Reformation
movements. The book concludes with a brief summary of the
influence of the Reformation in different areas of life.
“Diana Kleyn and Joel Beeke have once again found a way
to make history both interesting and challenging. By grace,
Reformation Heroes is a book that will help capture young minds
and hearts for Christ.” — Dr. Sinclair Ferguson, Pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina
“The authors are to be warmly commended for giving our young
people fresh access to the riches of the Reformation, namely,
God’s saints who did such great exploits for the kingdom of the
Lord Christ.” — Dr. Michael Haykin, Professor of Church History,
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky
“I hope this book will help awaken youth in America to the
vital truths set forth so clearly and boldly by the historic heroes
of the Reformation.”
— Dr. R.C. Sproul, President, Ligonier Ministries, Orlando, Florida
“This beautifully written and illustrated volume provides a sure
resource for inquiring young minds to capture the thrill of God’s
work in the lives of men and women primarily in the sixteenth
century. Reformation Heroes is a magnificent achievement.”

The Evil of Evils
Jeremiah Burroughs
The Evil of Evils, first printed in 1654, consists of sixty-seven short chapters that expose sin and
urge believers to choose affliction over sin. Burroughs organizes his material around seven major
thoughts: (1) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; (2) sin and God are
contrary to each other; (3) sin is directly against our good; (4) sin opposes all that is good; (5)
sin is the evil of all other evils; (6) sin has infinite dimension and character; and (7) sin makes
us comfortable with the devil. This treatise is invaluable for sensitizing our consciences to the
“exceeding sinfulness of sin” (cf. Rom. 7:13).
“I think among all the treatises of this blessed man, Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs (now triumphing in glory
above all sin and sorrow), which have been received with so much acceptance among the saints, there
has not been presented to your view a more practical piece than this now in your hands. And though
various divines have written and spoken much concerning this subject, yet, in my poor judgment, this
out-does all of this nature that ever my eyes beheld, setting forth with life and spirit the subject in
hand and bringing it down powerfully in a practical way to convince the judgment and work upon the
affections of the weakest reader.” —John Yates (d. 1657), A Puritan preacher of the Norfolk area

The Excellency of a Gracious Spirit Gospel Remission

The first part of this book deals with what that

His grace. (HC, ISBN: 1573580244) $24.00 | $18.00

The greatest blessing anyone can have is remis-

just that, expositing Psalm 32:1: “Blessed is he

of His remission. (HC, ISBN: 156179067X)

Moses’ Self-Denial
Jeremiah Burroughs
Burroughs explains how Christians are called
to deny all honors, privileges, and delights for
the sake of Christ. He also shows how God
is especially honored when we forego selfish
desires at a time when they seem most advan-
tageous to us. You will benefit greatly to see
how faith acts to transform losses caused by self-denial into true
honor. This is an insightful, practical book — a helpful antidote
for our natural selfishness.

The Gospel Ministry

Thomas Foxcroft
On November 20, 1717, Thomas Foxcroft
presented a message on faithful gospel min-
istry and was strongly petitioned to have it
published as a book. However, Foxcroft had
not delivered this message at a conference for
pastors, but at his own ordination. His inten-
tion was not so much to show his congregation what a proper
minister should be like, but rather to attempt to press upon
himself the importance and responsibility of the ministry for
which he was being set aside. What proved a profitable exer-
cise for him became a blessed gift for the church at large!
In this book, Foxcroft exhorts ministers to make Christ
the focal point of their preaching. He shows the importance
of character in ministry, calling for pastors to be wise and
prudent in every aspect of their lives. Likewise, ministers are
urged to visit with and know their flock, and busy themselves
with attending the needs of their souls. Furthermore, minis-
ters are reminded how their service to the Lord requires great
diligence and should be supremely governed by a pursuit for
the conversion and edification of men in Christ. This is a per-
tinent reminder that pastors are called to wait on the needs of
the souls of men with the good news of Christ.

The Sound-Hearted Christian
William Greenhill
Nearing the end of his life and ministry, William Greenhill
left his congregation a parting gift and lasting testimony of his
pastoral care for their souls — he published The Sound-Hearted
Christian. This book was developed from a series of sermons
Greenhill preached on Psalm 119:80, “Let my heart be sound
in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.” Greenhill shows that a
sound heart is watchful and attentive, recognizing that our soul
is our greatest possession. After demonstrating the excellence
and desirability of a sound heart, he challenges us to test the
soundness of our heart. He then directs and motivates us to get
and keep a sound heart. The book ends with several appended
sermons on faith, Christ, and God’s Word, which serve as fur-
ther encouragements to establishing and maintaining a sound
heart.
“The Puritans affirmed that true knowledge always begins in
the head and extends to the heart, embracing the affections.
In a day (not unlike our own) in which mere assent was taken
for faith, empty profession was taken for conversion, and dead
formality was taken for holiness, the Puritans’ insistence upon
the need for a heartfelt appropriation of the truth was both
timely and necessary. They devoted countless pages to exposing
the danger of hypocrisy and the nature of sincerity. The skill
with which they handled this delicate probing of the heart is
nowhere more evident than in the present work. In William
Greenhill, a renowned preacher and eminent scholar, you have
a trustworthy guide into this vitally important subject — what it
means to be a sound-hearted Christian.”

Texas, and author of Puritan Spirituality

looked to some external act for confirmation
of a regenerate heart, the Puritans pointed to
proper motives as well as proper conduct. To those who looked
merely to their orthodox beliefs, the Puritans pointed out that
the demons are orthodox in their creeds, but not in their con-
duct. Ever mindful not to stir up unnecessary doubts in weak
believers, the Puritans, nevertheless, felt it imperative to awaken
the carnal hypocrite out of his undeserved security. (HC, ISBN:

The Puritan Pulpit

James Ussher
Ussher was a highly regarded scholar and a
fearless preacher. These nineteen sermons deal
with crucial issues of the soul, the devastating
effects of sin, the purpose of the law, the sat-
isfaction of Christ, the humiliation of Christ,
peace with God, and the place of torment
among others. (HC, ISBN: 1567690742)

A Treatise on Regeneration
Peter Van Mastricht
Is regeneration the result of faith or is it the
cause of faith? And what part does the human
will play in this eternally significant event?
These are the questions answered in this book
by Dutch theologian Peter Van Mastricht.

A Discourse Concerning Love
Nathaniel Vincent
This book includes seven chapters on the
importance of love among Christians in the
church. The subjects addressed include how the
church is to edify itself by love, the properties
of love, and how there is no excuse for lack of
love in the church. Vincent describes the prop-
erties of love in detail. Love must flow from a
pure heart and from faith. (HC, ISBN: 1573580791)

Attending upon God without Distraction
Nathanael Vincent
The mind of man is notoriously fickle, and distractions too eas-
ily keep him from whole hearted service to God. Even seri-
ous Christians feel the strain caused when their desires to offer
God more spiritual and well-pleasing sacrifices are hindered
by remaining sin and vanity of mind. Furthermore, obtaining
freedom from distractions in religious duties is very difficult.
Some think lightly of the disease and imagine the cure need-
less. Others are discouraged from striving against distractions
because they think it is impossible to overcome them.
In this book, Nathanael Vincent convincingly demonstrates
how everyone ought to attend upon God, recognize Him as
Lord, and serve Him without interruption. In helping us to see
the weight of our obligation, Vincent provides an abundance of
pastoral guidance and encouragement. This book equips read-
ers to detect distractions and deal with them. It also motivates
them by showing the benefits that pertain to a focused pursuit
of glorifying God.
“Attending upon God without Distraction is a practical and expe-
riential Puritan masterpiece on a vital but often neglected sub-
ject of the Christian life. It invites and exhorts us to a close life
with God through Christ, and shows us how to attend upon
God as our Savior and Lord, without being drawn away by a
host of distractions. Various cases of conscience, cautions, direc-
tions, and challenges are addressed with biblical and practical
winsomeness and forcefulness. In some ways, this book seems
even more applicable in our hurried and harried day than in
Nathanael Vincent’s own day!”

Christ’s Sudden and Certain Appearance
to Judgment
Thomas Vincent
In this Puritan treatise, Thomas Vincent shows
that Christ will most suddenly and certainly
appear to judge those who have not submit-
ted to the rule of Christ as Lord. This entire
treatise is based on Revelation 22:16: “Even so
come quickly, Lord Jesus.” The book leaves no
brimstone unturned as the author appeals to sinners to come to
Christ in love before He comes to them in judgment.

God’s Terrible Voice in the City
Thomas Vincent
The Puritans often saw “natural disasters” as
the work of God, who was angry at the peo-
ple for their wickedness. Thomas Vincent was
a firsthand eyewitness of the Great Fire of
London and the Plague. Here you may read of
those incredible events and the sufferings they
brought and also see how Vincent warned sin-
ners of greater catastrophes awaiting the impenitent.

The True Christian’s Love to the
Unseen Christ
Thomas Vincent
This is Vincent’s exposition of 1 Peter 1:8,
“whom having not seen, ye love.” The life of
Christianity consists very much in our love to
Christ. Faith without love to Christ is a dead
faith. Love for Christ flows from every page of
this treatise. (HC, ISBN: 1877611573) $18.00 | $14.00
The Art of Divine Contentment
Thomas Watson
Based on Philippians 4:11, “I have learned, in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content,”
Watson considers the great dishonor done to
almighty God by the sin of discontent. The
doctrine of Christian contentment is clearly
illustrated and profitably applied. The special
cases where, through changes in providences, discontentment
most commonly arises are examined and preservatives are
applied to the soul. (HC, ISBN: 1573581135) $20.00 | $15.00
The Duty of Self-Denial and Ten
Other Sermons
Thomas Watson
This book includes eight chapters on self-
denial, based on Luke 9:23, and ten additional
sermons. Watson teaches, “Self-denial is the
first principle of Christianity.” He describes
what self-denial is, then demonstrates the
Christ-asserting nature of every self-denying act. The addi-
tional sermons in this volume are also valuable.

Logic: The Right Use of Reason in the
Inquiry after Truth
Isaac Watts
The Puritans were convinced that the ability to
think clearly was of the utmost importance. In
our day, common sense is not very common and
clear thinking is not very clear. This book will
help discipline the mind and train the reader to
discern proper thinking and argumentation in
seeking the truth. (HC, ISBN: 1573580554) $28.00 | $21.00
Disputations on Holy Scripture
William Whitaker
The Protestants and Roman Catholics were
divided on the role of Scripture in a believer’s
life. In this massive work, Whitaker argues the
Protestant position. He deals with the number
of canonical books, the authority of Scripture,
the perspicuity of Scripture, the proper inter-
pretation of Scripture, and the perfection of
Scripture. (HC, ISBN: 1573580902) $40.00 | $30.00
The Puritans on Loving One Another
In this collection of writings from four different
Puritan authors, the Christian duty of love for
one’s fellow man is addressed. Ralph Venning
speaks of the commandment of Christ to love
your neighbor as yourself. Thomas Manton
teaches us that the command to “Love One
Another” is a duty given by God. Joseph Caryl
deals with “The Nature and Principles of Love as the End of
the Commandment.” Finally, John Ball speaks concerning the
nature, motives, and marks of love.

God’s Call to Young People

to preach to the young people of the church
and town on a regular basis. This volume con-
tains sermons addressing the young by some of
the eminent Puritan pastors of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. Sermons by Increase
and Cotton Mather, Charles Chauncy, and
Jonathan Edwards are included in this compilation.
