 | | LINE UPON LINE (Book One) F.L. Mortimer This little book contains over 170 pages of outstanding material written in the following tone: EARNEST RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION THE INFANT MIND IS CAPABLE OF RECEIVING. The Preface to "Line Upon Line," is as follows: "The design of this little work is to lead children to understand and delight in the Scriptures. If adults meet with difficulties in the sacred text which commentaries often remove, children must necessarily meet with many more, some of which this little book may clear up. Since it is evident that commentaries would not suit the volatile minds of children, however simply they might be written, some other kind of help ought to be provided for them. The best assistance would no doubt be afforded by the parent's voice; for no book can forcibly arrest the attention, or touch the heart, as the remarks of a tender parent. But where children do not enjoy this advantage, a book may in some measure supply its place; and where they do possess it, may recall to mind parental instruction. Many interesting histories have been omitted, because the writer feared to swell the size of the work, and judged it better to relate the principal events in detail, than to give an abridged account of all." Mrs. Favell Lee Mortimer (1802-1878) was born Favell Bevan in 1802, the daughter of a wealthy Quaker banker with family's roots in Oxwich, South Wales. Having moved to Bristol the Bevans founded a bank, known as Bevan and Barclays. This subsequently became part of Barclays Bank. Favell Lee Mortimer had a religious and educational fervour. She wrote "The Peep of the Day", a book of religious instruction for the very young. 500,000 copies of this were sold, and it was translated by the Religious Tract Society in 1884, into the language of the Ojibbewe Indians, and also into Cree. She also wrote "Line Upon Line" and "Precept Upon Precept" to complete her Trilogy for young children. Volume One: Line Upon Line (From Creation to the Death of Joshua) This classic devotional book has been the source of blessing to countless Christian families over several generations. Whilst still retaining their classic feel, the text has been updated to appeal to today's reader and additional features added to help the lessons be adopted. Each daily segment starts with a devotional section, an activity section, the lesson itself, questions and finally a conclusion to wrap up the segment Line upon Line 1 is split into four sections of between four and nineteen lessons all from the Old Testament.

 | | THE MARROW OF MODERN DIVINITY Edward Fisher An intriguing book, quite unlike any other 'The Marrow of Modern Divinity' defies pigeonholing. It was written in the 1600s by an author of whom we know little, yet it proved to be a critically important and controversial theological text. Penned as dialogue between a minister (Evangelista), a young Christian (Neophytus), a legalist (Nomista) who believes Christianity is a set of rules to be obeyed and Antinomista who thinks it's okay to sin because God will forgive him anyway, it makes for a wonderfully insightful book that remains tremendously relevant for our world today. This newly laid out and eagerly awaited edition includes explanatory notes by the famous puritan Thomas Boston, an Introduction by Philip Ryken and an historical Introduction by William Vandoodewaard. "Anyone who comes to grips with the issues raised in 'The Marrow of Modern Divinity' will almost certainly grow by leaps and bounds in understanding three things: the grace of God, the Christian life, and the very nature of the Gospel itself. I personally owe it a great debt." - Sinclair Ferguson "The Marrow of Modern Divinity is one of the most important theological texts of all time." - Derek W.H. Thomas SGCB Price: $18.95 (list price $30.00) |

| | NEW TITLES FROM CHRISTIAN FOCUS Kelly, Piper, Borland, Downes, Owen, Lloyd-Jones 1) CREATION AND CHANGE: Genesis 1:1 - 2:4 in the Light of Changing Scientific Paradigms by Douglas Kelly In this book Professor Douglas Kelly persuasively argues for a literal interpretation of the seven day account of creation found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. He assesses both the biblical details and the scientific data to show that there is a convincing case for this understanding and how it is scientifically viable. 2) RISKING THE TRUTH: Handling Error in the Church - Interviews by Martin Downes A collection of interviews on handling truth and error in the church. Contributors reflect on this issue in relation to the minister's own life, pulpit ministry, local church leadership, seminary training, denominations, the impact of the academy, Evangelicalism, contemporary trends, history, creeds and confessions, and doctrines that are currently under attack. There is also personal reflection on these matters, lessons drawn from experience, and practical advice. The interviews are introduced by a primer on heresy and false teaching, and concluded with a chapters on why "Being Against Heresies is not enough" and "What really matters in ministry: directives for church leaders in Acts 20." Contributors include: Carl R. Trueman, Tom Schreiner, Michael Horton, Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, Derek Thomas, R. Scott Clark, Tom Ascol, Guy Waters, Kim Riddlebarger, Ron Gleason, Sean Michael Lucas, Iain D Campbell, Gary L. W. Johnson, Conrad Mbewe, Geoffrey Thomas, Joel Beeke, Robert Peterson, Michael Ovey 3) FINALLY ALIVE: What Happens When We Are Born Again by John Piper Being 'born again' is now defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. "When Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be born again" (John 3:7), he was not sharing interesting and unimportant information. He was leading him to eternal life... If he does that for you (or if he already has), then you are (or you will be) truly, invincibly, finally alive." John Piper 4) CHRIST IN THE OLD TESTAMENT: Old Testament Appearances of Christ in Human Form by James Borland This is a book that focuses on God's appearances in human form rather than the shekinah, the pillar of cloud or other manifestations of God's presence. Its purpose is to present a positive theology of theophanies rather than simply a defence against erroneous views. Borland looks at the characteristics of Christophanies and their use by God. It is the most comprehensive book of its type, although not every Christophany is investigated all categories are represented. 5) THE PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST: Its Nature and Necessity by John Owen "Probably no theologian in English language has ever rivaled Owen stressing the absolute centrality of Christ's penal substitution and therefore his as Priest...For that reason alone The Priesthood of Christ is worth all the time it takes to read it with humility, care, and reflection" - Sinclair B. Ferguson John Owen is noted for taking themes that those who had gone before had often wrestled with and write with clarity and depth. He does the same here with 'The Priesthood of Christ'. Having studied the Book of Hebrews in great depth and written a world renowned commentary on it, John Owen is able to give us a comprehensive guide to this important theme. He explains how the Old Testament pillars of the Law and the Covenant relate to Christ's office of Priest. Includes an introduction from Sinclair B. Ferguson. 6) THE PLIGHT OF MAN & THE POWER OF GOD: Romans 1:16-32 by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaching always had an emphasis on the desperate plight of man and the power of God to save. His preaching was crystal clear on the sovereignty of God in the salvation of sinners, a concept that does not sit comfortably in our day of pragmatism, programs and self-help books. Nevertheless it remains at the core of what the world needs to hear. Based on the Romans 1, this wonderful book will help you understand what the gospel is. When we live in a world that is spiralling out of control we will want to hear this message again and again. 7) FAITH ON TRIAL: Studies in Psalm 73 by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Why do good people suffer unjustly - and yet others get away with it? The Psalmist, Asaph, dealt with this very problem in Psalm 73 - one that has often perplexed and discouraged God's people. Asaph reveals his own 'no-holds-barred' feelings and leads us step by step from near-despair to final assurance. For this reason it has always appealed to preachers and counsellors. An excellent book for those struggling with, or wondering about, injustice in the world. 8) IF GOD ALREADY KNOWS, WHY PRAY? By Douglas Kelly Knowing who God is - his character, his plans and why he wants us to pray - are essentials in building our understanding of prayer. Douglas Kelly is a distinguished theologian - he is well qualified to guide us both as a teacher and a fellow traveller, sharing his own setbacks and blessings. One of the biggest questions about prayer is not 'How do you do it?' but rather 'Do we know who we are speaking to?' 9) WORLD-PROOF YOUR KIDS: Raising Children Unstained by the World by Tim Sisemore Many Christian parents are at their wits end about raising their children in a healthy and spiritual way. Increasingly the influence of the world, with it's 'me first' obsession, is causing problems within the Christian home. This influence causes Christian families to fall into the four categories: The disillusioned family The distracted family The disciplinarian family The dedicated family All end up being influenced by the culture rather than by their faith. Is your family influenced by the culture rather than your faith. Is your family falling into an unhealthy pattern of behaviour? It's time to find out and put things right. If you want to help your family then the Sisemore's are here to help break the cycle. 10) A CALL TO UNITED, EXTRAORDINARY PRAYER by Jonathan Edwards Jonathan Edwards was the foremost leader of the Great Awakening in North America in the 18th Century. His writings continue to have a marked influence today on the life of the church, his example stands as a beacon to guide us from the shallows of our low levels of spirituality to the deeper waters of life. This classic book by Jonathan Edwards was first published to promote unity in prayer amongst all believers. 11) THE ART OF MANFISHING: A Puritan's View of Evangelism by Thomas Boston "This is a vigorous challenge to preacvhers and laymen to remain persistent in sharing the gospel with unsaved people. This book is split into two parts: (1) The promise of duty. How does Christ make us 'fishers of men'? Why are unconverted men compared with fish in the water? In what ways are ministers, fishers by office? (2) How may I come by this art? What does following Christ suppose and imply? How is Christ to be followed? This is a classic explanation of the Puritan approach to evangelism that is also an encouragement for anyone who wants to explain the gospel to someone else. 12) PRAYING THE SAVIOUR'S WAY: Let Jesus' Prayer Reshape Your Prayer Life by Derek Thomas Even in today's post Christian society the Lord's Prayer remains widely known. Its beauty is that it can be understood by a child, but has tremendously profound lessons for those of us who investigate it more deeply. However, our tendency is to allow familiarity to breed complacency. We can repeat the Lord's Prayer verbatim, but do we ponder its message and follow its example? 13) JUSTIFICATION: Being Made Right with God? by Guy Waters Guy Waters is one of those rare treasures: a serious and able academician whose feet are grounded in the church. "This primer on justification is a clear and sure-footed guide that is conversant with the latest scholarly issues. By reading this book, you will be grounded in this most important of doctrines and your faith will be enriched. If you are not absolutely certain about the biblical way of justification with God, then reading the Bible with this book in hand is your most urgent need." - Richard D Phillips 14) THE CHRISTIAN, HIS CONFLICT AND HIS ARMOUR: A Warning and a Promise by Charles Simeon The section of the epistle to the Ephesians on the armour to be worn by every Christian is a profound passage of Scripture. It provides a warning and a promise to every believer. The promise is that if we wear all the armour then we win battles, not just war. The warning is if we don't wear all the armour we will be defeated. "We urgently need in the pulpits of the world a new generation of Simeons who like him, will expound Scripture with faithfulness, passion and relevance." - John R.W.

| | PURITAN PROFILES William Barker The history of seventeenth century England was tumultuous. During this period England underwent a civil war, a regicide, an experiment with republican government, a restoration of monarchy and constant upheavals in politics and religion. What a confusing period! As the century began Puritans were poised against Episcopalians, parliament against the forces of an absolutist monarchy and the question hung in the air - what kind of Christian expression would be the Church of England eventually reflect? 'For those who admire the confessional statements of the Westminster Assembly but know little of their origins, this is a wonderful introductory volume. The diversity of the assembly participants with their immense commonalities is amazing. Also of interest are the enormous energy involved in the debates, the participants' struggles to understand the Bible, and their freedom to vent disagreement at high decibels while maintaining a spirit of unity. The book is well organized and presented in an effective format ...' - John D. Hannah ~ Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology, Research Professor of Theological Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas 'Will Barker's love of biography, historian's eye for detail, his personal devotion to Christ and Scripture make these pages an expertly guided tour of the varied characters and remarkable personalities drawn together by the Westminster Assembly.' -Sinclair B.

| | SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY: Volume One The God Who Is The Holy Trinity Douglas Kelly "I have written this first volume, thinking of my heritage as both Reformed and Catholic; gladly appropriating crucial insights of the whole people of God over the last two thousand years 'Eastern Orthodox, Western Catholic, and Reformation Protestant ' as they sought to live out the foundational truths of the inspired Word of God." Doug Kelly "I just now completed reading through the entire book you wrote Systematic Theology, vol. 1. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the quality work you have done. You show that you know ancient languages (Hebrew, Greek and Latin) as well as modern languages (French and German). You delve into the Christian fathers of the first few centuries and are familiar with the works of the Reformers and the latest books and articles on Systematic Theology. This is eminent scholarship that lies back of numerous years of study. You have done the Church a favor by writing this book and I personally thank you for this contribution. Excellent work!" - Dr. Simon Kistemaker ~ Professor of New Testament "Douglas F. Kelly is one of the English-speaking worldÆs leading Reformed theologians. Here we begin to enjoy the fruits of his labors. What a feast it is. Few Protestant theologians in our day know the terrain of the doctrine of the Trinity, and the Person of Christ, as well as Professor Kelly... He is at his best when opening up to us the unrealized importance and glory of these foundational truths about our Savior God.

| | 18 WORDS: The Most Important Words You Will Ever Know J.I. Packer Description: If the modern world can be characterized by one thing it is probably the enormous increase in the number of words around--but that increase has also been accompanied by a seemingly corresponding decrease in understanding. It is the irony of the information age that instead of bringing clarity it has raised uninformed opinion to the same level as truth. The church has also not been faultless. Rather than discuss ideas in order to come to some settled agreement, the church has been characterised as trying to make words mean different things in order to accommodate differences. But the church should be a beacon of light to the world. The church has the words of eternal life. J. I. Packer is a master wordsmith. He is also gifted with the ability of showing where truth lies in complicated reasoning. These skills combine to make Words from God a fascinating read--and a life-changing one. The 18 words are Death, Devil, Election, Faith, Fellowship, Grace, Holiness, Justification, Lord, Mediator, Mortification, Reconciliation, Regeneration, Revelation, Sanctification, Scripture, Sin & World. "A doctrinal Solomon' Mediating debates on everything from a particular Bible translation to the acceptability of free-flowing Pentecostal spirituality, Packer helps unify a community that could easily fall victim to its internal tensions." --Time Magazine "Packer's ability to address immensely important subjects in crisp, succint sentences is one of the reasons why, both as an author and speaker, he has played such an important role amongàevangelicals." --Mark Noll, Christianity Today SGCB Price: $8.95 (list price $12.99) |

 | | THE GOSPEL OF GOD: An Exposition of Romans R.C. Sproul The book of Romans has been influential in critical moments of Christian church history. In the early church, Paul's words in this book were the means of the conversion of Augustine. During the Protestant Reformation they particularly influenced Martin Luther and John Calvin. Later, in the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century, they changed the lives of George Whitefield and John Wesley. But it is not only those who have become leaders in the church who have been affected by the epistle to the Romans. Ordinary Christians, too, have lived transformed lives as a result. People have often turned to the letter to the Church in Rome because Paul clearly sets out a theological framework for us to understand. It is a comprehensive description of the way that God offers salvation to humankind - and it is 'Good News'. R C Sproul has a rare gift for making biblical truth clear and understandable....very helpful on ethical issues such as the nature of government, the problem of war, capital punishment and taxation.....warm, readable and stimulating to both mind and heart. Buy it without hesitation and give it to others with confidence. The Evangelical Times SGCB Price: $13.75 (list price $20.00) |

A practical guidebook for Christians of all persuasions." - D. James Kennedy Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Florida. "Many Christians have forsaken social activism, since history seems at first glance to be moving against us. John Barber's book does precisely what is needed. He advocates a clear program for Christian cultural activism, based on the biblical program of the Kingdom of God. He shows that we need to emphasize both the Cultural Mandate (filling and subduing the earth) and the Great Commission (making and teaching disciples of Jesus). And he shows that although we sometimes endure defeat, God's plan cannot fail." - John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary. $1-3 Books Over 90% Discount SGCB Price: $1.00 (list price $15.00)LIMITED QUANTITY |

| | THE BAPTISTS Complete in Three Volumes Tom Nettles The nature of Baptist identity has come to a place of critical importance in Baptist studies. What exactly constitutes a Baptist? Tom Nettles seeks to answer this fascinating question through examining the lives of some of the most high profile and influential Baptists in history. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky has a library loaded with Baptist materials including a rich archival collection, which Tom found indispensable for this book. Nettles establishes a clearly identifiable profile of Baptists. He looks at many influential spokesmen for Baptist lives who embraced the bible as an unerring divine revelation. From John Spilsbury to William Carey we are taken on an enlightening journey through the origin and expansion of the Baptist Church. Tom Nettles has produced a book that is wonderfully informative and, through its profiles of God honouring historical figures, should serve us encouragement to all Christians today.

| | THE WAGES OF SPIN Critical Writings on Historic and Contemporary Evangelicalism Carl Trueman Do you have an opinion? There is an increasing tendency in Evangelical circles to regard disagreement in our allegedly post-modern world as inherently oppressive. Too many people sit on the fence and ignore, or are unaware of, the fact that Christianity is an historical religion. As Laurence Peter once said "History repeats itself because nobody listens." The point of having a debate is not to have a debate and then agree to differ (sitting around in a mutually affirming love-fest) - the point of debate, as the Apostle Paul clearly demonstrates time and again in the book of Acts, is to establish which position is best. Carl Trueman's intends to provoke you with this collection of essays into thinking for yourself and to have an opinion on THINGS THAT MATTER! SGCB Price: $12.95 (list price $17.99) |
