 | | THE COMPLETE GATHERED GOLD John Blanchard Description: Over twenty years ago John Blanchard compiled 'A treasury of quotations for Christians' called Gathered Gold. It was so well received that it had to be reprinted several times and augmented by two further volumes, More Gathered Gold and Sifted Silver. Now the time has come to make all of this material available to a new readership and in a new format. Approx. 1,000 further quotations have been added, making some 16,000 in all, and the whole work is presented as a new hardback edition. With quotations from many hundreds of sources, it is hoped that The Complete Gathered Gold will be a valuable resource for preachers, Bible class teachers and group leaders as well as a 'gold mine' for all Christians to dip into whenever they would like to read a gem of truth on any of the 600 or so subjects covered. Volumes like these are always welcome and should find a place on our shelves. Originally published in three volumes now combine into one magnificent compendium. One of the best quote books on the market. Take it with you wherever you go so as to redeem the time. Read Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones while you are waiting for the doctor, read John Murray while waiting for your oil change, read these men and many others on topics ranging from abortion to God. Personally, I can never get enough of compendiums like these; it is a private fixation and appreciation. I own a score of them, relish reading them and take them with me wherever I go. Great thoughts from great men help guide the thoughts of other men; or as the Proverb (27:17) says 'iron sharpens iron so men sharpen men'. Often I learn more from books like these than I do from books by one author. Gathered Gold is full of gems, great thoughts from godly men and provocative thoughts from even godless men. Guaranteed, there is something here for everyone. - B. K. Campbell Dr John Blanchard is an internationally known Christian author, teacher and conference speaker. He received an award for his best-selling book Does God Believe in Atheists? as the best UK Christian Book for 2001. He is the author of many books including: Can we Rock the Gospel?, Evolution: Fact or Fiction?, Has Science Got Rid of God?, How to Enjoy your Bible, Is Anybody out There?, Is God Past his Sell-by Date?, Meet the Real Jesus, Read Mark Learn, Truth for Life, Ultimate Questions, Whatever Happened to Hell?, Where is God when things go wrong?, Where was God on September 11? and Why Believe the Bible?

 | | HOLINESS: A Classic Reprint J.C. Ryle John Charles Ryle's best-known works have been reissued and widely read over many years. The fine qualities of his writings have ensured that his books are still popular and useful. This present volume has become a classic work and is known and loved by many throughout the world. In days when evangelical preachers are accused of being either superficial or dull, we have here a great example from one who was neither of these things. As Bishop Ryle explains and applies his texts with his customary simplicity and directness, the reader will find his conscience pricked and his soul examined. Ryle's Holiness has become essential reading on this most important subject and the first chapter on 'sin' has rarely been bettered. John Charles Ryle was appointed as the first Bishop of Liverpool in 1880 and was the leader of the Evangelical Party in the Church of England for more than half a century. He is highly regarded for his plain and lively writings on practical and spiritual themes, and their usefulness and impact have been consistently recognized and remain as wise and relevant today as when he first wrote them. Other titles by Ryle also published by Evangelical Press are Churches Beware!; Daily Readings from all Four Gospels; and Practical Religion. 33% Discount SGCB Price: $11.95 (list price $17.99) |

 click for details | | RUNNING THE RACE Eric Liddell, Olympic Champion and Missionary John Keddie The enduring fascination of the life of Eric Liddell is remarkable. It is remarkable because he was in many respects an ordinary soul. It is remarkable no doubt also because the lifestyle and faith that he espoused cannot be said to be popular or even well-understood in our sceptical and secular age. Most people would blink in genuine amazement at a man who sought seriously to live by the Bible and devote himself to the spread of its message. It seems outdated to so many; a curio; a vestige of a past age; a 'distant enchantment' or perhaps nostalgia? for an era irretrievably lost. And yet there is the fascination concerning someone who seemed so guileless yet so assured. There are many biographies of sportsmen today. They seem to appear every week as sports' practitioners achieve celebrity status at an increasingly young age and are grist to the mill of a media-driven lust for the sensational. There are also many Christian biographies. There are very few which bring together the sporting and the Christian. But that is the case with Eric Liddell. And that, at least in part, must account for the fascination. Another factor is this: that he achieved, posthumously, a celebrity status through being depicted in an award-winning movie 'Chariots of Fire' (1981). Click here for all Evangelical Press Titles.

 | | BEYOND AMAZING GRACE Timeless Pastoral Wisdom from the Letters, Hymns & Sermons of John Newton J. Todd Murray No one who knew John Newton as a young lad would ever have dreamed that this teenage rebel, profane sailor, naval deserter and slave-trader would one day write the lyrics to one of the best-known hymns of all time, 'Amazing Grace'. The story of how such a notorious sinner was converted to Christ and went on to become an equally noteworthy pastor and a leader of the Evangelical movement in eighteenth-century England is simply astounding. In compiling this selection from his writings, Todd Murray has made NewtonÆs gentle pastoral wisdom available to a new generation of readers. J. Todd Murray has been the pastor overseeing the worship and music of The Bible Church of Little Rock since 1983 where, in addition to composing and recording music for his local congregation, he also shares in the general pastoral duties, teaching and shepherding. Todd is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and Moody Graduate School. He and his wife Tandy have been blessed with five children. "While John Newton is known primarily as the author of the Hymn, 'Amazing Grace' he was actually a very competent physician of the soul, both in diagnosing its ills, and providing the Scriptural remedy. Unfortunately our current Christian public has benefited little from the work of this amazing man. Now Todd Murray has done us an outstanding favor by making available to us both the writings and the hymns of Newton. I highly commend this book and look forward to reading it many times." - Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness "This is a fascinating digest of insights from John Newton's lesser-known hymns and writings. What stands out most in Newton's post-conversion character is the depth of his interest in biblical truth, sound doctrine and systematic theology. Almost from the moment he was changed by God's amazing grace, Newton was driven by a heartfelt passion for understanding the truth and proclaiming it to others with the utmost clarity and simplicity. That, as much as any other characteristic, made him one of the great English hymn-writers of all time. You will be both moved and invigorated as you read it, too, I am certain." - Dr John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church "Ex-slave-trader John Newton was the friendliest, wisest, humblest and least pushy of all the eighteenth-century evangelical leaders, and was perhaps the greatest pastoral letter-writer of all time. Beyond Amazing Grace gives us Newton's heart, and what a heart it was! This book is pure gold." - J. I.

 | | PREACHERS WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE: Lloyd-Jones, Latimer, Davies, Elias, Ryle, M'Cheyne, Spurgeon, Tozer, Knox Peter Jeffery Preaching should confront men and women with God and eternity. In order to do this it has to be biblical. It has to tell people what God is saying in his Word. The preacher needs God with him in the pulpit. He not only preaches about God but he wants also to experience the presence of God with him as he preaches. If he does not he will cease to make a difference. He may continue to be popular and to a degree be useful, but he will not be making the difference that matters. This well-presented book and accompanying CD provides an insight into some of the most remarkable and influential preachers. Peter Jeffery began his ministry in Cwmbran, South Wales, before serving Rugby Evangelical Free Church in the Midlands during a period of remarkable growth and then moving to the famous Bethlehem Church in Sandfields. Now retired, he continues to be in demand as a gospel preacher on both sides of the Atlantic. FREE CD ENCLOSED SGCB Price: $10.00 (list price $15.99) |

| | THE EPISTLES OF JOHN Joel Beeke No other epistle or letter in the New Testament begins more abruptly than the first Epistle of John. It has no formal salutation, no personal words of greeting, and no concluding benediction. After a brief prologue (1:1-4) the writer goes directly to what is on his heart, the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all (1:5). Second and Third John are similar in structure, style, and theme. In both letters John introduces himself as the elder. In both letters John offers commendations for good behavior and rebukes for bad conduct. And in both letters his major theme is the truth, for in both John is determined to warn believers against false teachers and to protect from errors that are infiltrating the church of God. Dr. Joel Beeke, in his usually thorough manner, takes the reader by the hand and leads him into the wonderful material found in the pages of John's Epistles. Practical to the core, this volume will both enlighten the mind and fire the heart. 35% Off SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $16.00) |

 click for details | | Why I Left the Contemporary Christian Music Movement Confessions of a Former Worship Leader Dan Lucarini For many churches today, music has become one of the most important factors in both their mode of worship and their attempts to reach unbelievers with the gospel. Writing from his own personal experience as a former worship leader, Dan Lucarini questions the use of contemporary music in the worship of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and shows why he believes many churches have been deceived into using ever increasing worldly means to 'reach their lost'. He has seen at first hand how an emphasis on music, and the ultimate move towards rock music in particular, has caused divisions in the church, and turned the emphasis in worship away from the Lord towards ourselves. This warm and heartfelt account is intended to highlight these dangers and to help churches wishing to reverse this trend return God to his rightful place as the centre of our worship.

 | | GOD CHOSE TO SAVE: Why Man Cannot and Will Not be Saved Apart from Election Joe Bianchi In God Chose to Save, God's wonderful plan of election is explained in a clear and readable fashion. Rather than stacking a dizzying array of verses together to 'prove a point,' the author explains various texts as they pertain to the overall themes of the Bible. Charitable, yet completely honest, this book needs to be read by all Christians who desire to walk more closely with the Sovereign Lord of the Universe! "In 'God Chose to Save', author Joe Bianchi presents an irenic, easy-to-follow discussion of the nature of the gospel and the necessity of God's gracious act of divine election. By raising thematic issues (rather than lists of texts), Bianchi invites the reader to consider well the consistency of their own view of the gospel. This work will find its place among those books we offer to others who have sincere questions about what it means to be Reformed." - James White, Director, Alpha and Omega Ministries SGCB Price: $7.95 (list price $10.00) |

| | PORTRAITS OF FAITH The writer begins by asking, 'What is faith?' He asserts that faith is the activity of the entire heart, the entire life, embracing the weighty matters of personal salvation, and the nitty-gritty details of daily living. In these sermons, Dr Beeke looks at four aspects of faith as they operate in the lives of five biblical characters. Characters who, because they fall outside the hall of faith of Hebrews 11, are often forgotten as examples of faith, and yet characters who have much to teach us as they demonstrate aspects of faith that are sorely needed today by the church of Jesus Christ. As these characters are examined we are invited to ask ourselves three questions. Do I have this kind of saving faith? Am I exercising the particular aspect of faith that is being described? And most importantly, how can that particular aspect of faith be used in my life to make me a mature believer? 40% Discount While they last SGCB Price: $6.00 (list price $10.00) |

 click for details | | WHERE IS GOD WHEN THINGS GO WRONG? John Blanchard We live in what has been called 'a world with ragged edges'. Earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, fires, famine and other natural disasters kill millions of people and injure countless others, sometimes wiping out huge numbers within a few hours. Every day, accidents claim an untold number of victims. Planes crash, trains are derailed, road vehicles collide, ships are lost at sea, buildings collapse, bridges give way, trees fall, machinery malfunctions. To make matters worse, disease cuts relentless swathes through humankind, causing immeasurable weakness, pain and fear, while 'man's inhumanity to man' brings a terrible toll of suffering. Yet the Bible claims that God is in sole and sovereign control of everything that happens in the entire universe, that he 'works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will' and that he is 'compassionate and gracious' and 'abounding in love'. Is there any way in which all of this can hold together? The answer may surprise you! Dr John Blanchard is an internationally-known Christian author, teacher and conference speaker. He received an award for his best-selling book Does God Believe in Atheists? as the best UK Christian Book for 2001. He is also the author of Evolution: Fact or Fiction?, Has Science Got Rid of God?, How to Enjoy your Bible, Is God Past his Sell-by Date?, Meet the Real Jesus, Read Mark Learn, Truth for Life, Whatever Happened to Hell?, Where was God on September 11? and Why Believe the Bible?

 | | OVERCOMING LIFE'S DIFFICULTIES Learning from the life of Joshua Peter Jeffery 'Napoleon once said that the main quality which made up a great army was not bravery. (Soldiers only have to be brave about 10% of the time.) Rather it was the ability to endure hardship and deprivation and yet still persevere. Peter Jeffery shows from the book of Joshua that God enables his people to do all this; and so much more. Peter Jeffery knows God and knows God's Word. His speciality, as a man called to be a shepherd of God's flock, is to feed Christ's sheep. Those who are humble members of God's church will find food for their souls and encouragement to persevere in the fight against sin, Satan, self and this fallen world. You will come away glorying in Christ and the privilege of being a Christian. I know of no better place to begin to learn this great book of God's holy Word.'

 | | YOU CAN'T FOOL GOD Peter Jeffery One of the most terrible effects of sin in the human heart and mind is that it deludes us in just about every aspect of our understanding about God. In this book we look at some biblical characters whose delusions ought to serve as a lesson to us all. Some were believers, others were not, but all had to face the consequence of their actions, either in this world or the next. Everyone who has some awareness of God, whether a keen believer or merely a nominal Christian, is capable of trying to fool him at sometime or other and this book is written to remind us that this is an activity with no prospects of success. Peter Jeffery is now retired, but continues to be in demand as a gospel preacher on both sides of the Atlantic. Click here for all Evangelical Press Titles. SGCB Price: $6.95 (list price $9.99) |

 | | WHO ARE THE PURITANS? and what do they teach? Erroll Hulse Who were those great people of faith, the Puritans? When did they live? What did they accomplish? What did they teach? Erroll Hulse seeks to introduce modern Christians to the finest theological inheritance ever. His concern extends beyond narrating the story. He wants to create enthusiasm for the Puritans in order to profit from their practical example and benefit from their unique balance of doctrine, experience and practice. The author reminds the reader that the Puritans were men of deep theological understanding and vision who prayed for the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Historically the Puritan epoch is best able to supply the teaching that engenders holy living and stability. They were strongest where the churches in general are weakest today. Erroll Hulse is editor of the bi-monthly magazine Reformation Today. Pastor Hulse is widely travelled as a conference speaker and has over thirty years of pastoral experience.
