 | | GOSPEL RECONCILIATION Christ's Trumpet of Peace to the World Jeremiah Burroughs In this scarce treatise by Jeremiah Burroughs, he shows that there is a breach made between man and God, and that there is a way for peace to be made. Over the course of 81 chapters, Burroughs shows that reconciliation with God comes only through the work of Christ, for a finite creature who can never satisfy an infinite God. "Oh, the blessed state of a believer, of one who has embraced the gospel: he is at peace with God! It is the glory of the Son of God to be the Prince of Peace. The fruits of the Spirit are joy and peace. The gospel is the gospel of peace. The Kingdom of God consists of righteousness and peace. The evangelical benediction is 'grace and peace.' Peace is an amiable thing; but how lovely, how amiable is peace with God!" - Burroughs Hardcover 379 pages Soli Deo Gloria Over 60% Off SGCB Price: $9.85 (list price $26.00)THE BEST PRICE ON THE INTERNET Order w.

 | | THE ART OF DIVINE CONTENTMENT Thomas Watson Watson's works are all marked by profound spirituality, terse style, impressive remarks, and practical illustrations. This book, first printed in 1653 is no exception. Based on Philippians 4:11, "I have learned, in whatever state I am therewith to be content," Watson writes, "For my part, I know not any ornament in religion that doth more bespangle a Christian, or glitter in the eye of God and man, than this or contentment. If there is a blessed life before we come to heaven, it is the contented life." Godly contentment is a theme missing from many pulpits today. A serious reading of this treatise would do much to fill this void. SGCB Price: $15.50 (list price $22.00) |

 | | THE FIVE DILEMMAS OF CALVINISM Craig Brown After a brief survey of the historical development of the theological school now known as Calvinism and a comparison of Calvinism and Arminianism, Brown turns to a consideration of five dilemmas that Arminians typically associate with Reformed doctrines. The author then attempts to demonstrate that these "problems" are largely misunderstandings of Calvinism. Written in a winsome and engaging style, Brown's work is an excellent primer on Calvinism and some of the critiques that have been leveled against it. As such, the book provides both apologetic help for Calvinists and answers for Arminians with honest questions. "Craig Brown battles misunderstandings that have dogged Calvinism for long years. In so doing, he provides apologetic help for Calvinists stymied by the misinformed questions of their Arminian friends. And, of course, he kindles light for those who have never considered alternatives to the Arminian system." - From the foreward by R.C. Sproul Tim Challlies wrote the following: "After a Preface by R.C. Sproul, a brief Introduction, a look at the historical basis for Reformed theology and a quick outline of the differences between Reformed and Arminian theology, Brown turns right to the heart of the book. The questions he addresses are these: The Dilemma of Responsibility: If God is in complete control of everything, to the point of predetermining all human actions, how can man be held accountable for what he does? The Dilemma of Motivation: If we are saved by grace and not by works, why should we do anything good? What purpose do good works serve? Are there rewards in heaven for what we do here on earth? The Dilemma of Obedience: If God has predetermined everything that comes to pass, why should we spend valuable time in prayer or evangelism? The Dilemma of Evil: Since God created everything and He cannot sin, how did evil come into being? The Dilemma of Mercy: If people are born totally depraved, as Calvinism says, where do babies go when they die? The author's strategy is simple: he turns to Scripture and carefully, deliberately debunks the false portrayals of Calvinistic theology. From there he turns to Scripture to prove that Calvinistic theology is, in reality, nothing more than the theology of the Bible. He shows that each of these five dilemmas is based not on a factual understanding of Calvinism and its interpretation of the Bible, but rather a simple misunderstanding. The obvious conclusion he reaches is that Calvinistic doctrine is biblical doctrine." SGCB Price: $6.95 (list price $9.00) |

 | | A TASTE OF HEAVEN Worship in the Light of Eternity R.C. Sproul "In A Taste of Heaven, R. C. Sproul's signature work, 'The Holiness of God,' has found its true companion. To grasp God's weightiness is also to recognize the sanctity of worship. If Christians will read and digest 'A Taste of Heaven,' we will have taken an important step toward the reformation of today's church. Anyone who wishes to draw near to God acceptably, with reverence and awe, will be inspired and helped by this engaging and important book." - Richard D. Phillips "R.C. Sproul has done it again. He has tackled the touchy subject of worship in a provocative and creative way that will shake up the complacent and force the thoughtful to think again. Holiness and reverence have all too often departed from our churches without anyone noticing, and this wake-up call could not be more timely. Read this book, get annoyed at it, and then take its lessons to heart--it will change your life." - Dr. Gerald Bray "Two Sproul trademarks run all the way through this helpful new book on worship. First, his language is so absolutely clear, even though he's treating weighty subject matter. Second, his tone is so amiable, even though he's treating controversial issues. The church at large will be helped not just by his content; which is critically important these days; but by his style as well." - Joel Belz TABLE OF CONTENTS The Form of Worship Sacrifices in Faith Living Sacrifices The House of Prayer Symbolism in Worship Baptism (Part I) Baptism (Part II) To You and Your Children The Lord's Supper The Whole Person The Role of Beauty The Sounds of Worship The Touch of Eternity HARDCOVER VOLUME SGCB Price: $10.50 (list price $15.00) |

 | | WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE? Richard Phillips In What's So Great About the Doctrines of Grace?, the Rev. Richard D. "Rick" Phillips shows that "the doctrines of grace," those theological tenets more popularly known as "the five points of Calvinism," are comforting, faith- strengthening, and humbling teachings. In six short chapters, Rev. Phillips demonstrates conclusively from Scripture that this view of salvation exalts God and makes plain His great love for man, which drove Him to do all that was necessary to redeem a people for Himself. "Rick Phillips has an unbounded love for the doctrines of grace and writes about them with an enviable simplicity and clarity. Here is persuasive exposition of biblical teaching that captures the thrill of knowing a sovereign God. What's So Great about the Doctrines of Grace? never loses sight of the grace to which these doctrines point. This is a wonderful book to read, study, lend, and give away." - Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson "Richard 'Rick' Phillips has done it again! In summarizing the doctrines of grace in this book, he brings us into the arena of historic Calvinism, which, as C. H. Spurgeon said, 'is the Gospel and nothing else.' But what we have here is more than just a re-telling of the doctrines themselves; it is an account of why these truths matter in the church of the twenty-first century. Its enthusiasm is infectious, its urgency compelling, and its logic irrefutable." - Dr. Derek W. H. Thomas SGCB Price: $11.95 (list price $15.00) |

 click for details | | FOUNDATIONS OF GRACE Volume One Stephen Lawson From the lawgiver Moses to the apostle John, and from the early church fathers to modern defenders of the faith, there has marched onto the stage of human history a long line of godly men, a triumphant parade of spiritual stalwarts who have upheld the doctrines of grace. In this book, the first in the five-volume A Long Line of Godly Men series, Dr. Steven J. Lawson takes readers on a heart-stirring survey of the Scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrines of grace. Volume 1 (Foundations of Grace) covers 1400 BC thru 100 AD, tracing the doctrines of grace throughout Scripture. This volume becomes the foundation for what comes in the future. Foreword by: Dr. John MacArthur Afterword by: Dr. R.C. Sproul "As Dr. Steve Lawson's reconnaissance of this matter so clearly shows, God's sovereignty is manifest throughout sacred Scripture. . . . When you finish reading this book, I would wonder and worry if you continue to persist in denying the full measure of GodĘs sovereignty in our salvation." - Dr. R.C. Sproul. "The doctrines of grace are often misunderstood and mischaracterized. This helpful new book explains them thoughtfully and well. May God use it for His glory and others' good." - Dr. D. James Kennedy "Steve Lawson understands that the text of the Bible presents a consistent witness to God's sovereignty and the panoramic display of God's glory. All this is evident in his preaching ministry and in his writing ministry as well." - R. Albert Mohler, Jr. "Steven Lawson clearly and comprehensively lays the scriptural groundwork for the doctrines of grace." - Dr. John MacArthur "Gripped in mind and heart by the twin truths of God's total sovereignty and His amazing grace, Steve Lawson compellingly traces these themes from the beginning to the end of Scripture. . . . Foundations of Grace shows, in a multitude of ways, that the Scriptures are useful 'for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.' - Dr. Sinclair B.

 | | THE TRUTH OF THE CROSS Dr. R.C. Sproul Dr. R.C. Sproul surveys the great work accomplished by Jesus Christ through His crucifixion, the redemption of God's people. Dr. Sproul considers the atonement from numerous angles and shows conclusively that the cross was absolutely necessary if anyone was to be saved. Opening the Scriptures, Dr. Sproul shows that God Himself provided salvation by sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross, and the cross was always God's intended method by which to bring salvation. 'The Truth of the Cross' is an uncompromising reminder that the atonement of Christ is an absolutely essential doctrine of the Christian faith, one that should be studied and understood by all believers. "The Truth of the Cross is the best book on the cross I have read. It is a 'must' for every church library and a book that I will give away many times to friends. This is so because it is sober (i.e., it contains historically informed reflections on salient biblical texts), sensible (i.e., it is well-argued), simple (i.e., it holds the reader's attention through grabbing illustrations and even a seventh-grader can its substance), and spiritual (i.e., it comes from a heart set ablaze by the Spirit)." - Dr. Bruce K. Waltke, Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary "The gospel is a message of good news that something extraordinary has happened. At the heart of that message is that Jesus, God the Son incarnate, has atoned for the sins of all His people, turning away the righteous wrath of God. The gospel is a cross-shaped message. Sadly, in our day, this message is being re-shaped into other forms, and the results are not happy. We can give thanks for this volume by R.C. Sproul, however, because in it he steps into the breach once more to provide a clear, concise, and thoughtful case for the biblical and historic Christian gospel of the cross." - Dr. R.

 | | The Puritan Pulpit: The Sermons of Archbishop James Ussher James Ussher James Ussher (1581-1656) was a highly regarded scholar in his own day, and a fearless preacher as well. These 19 sermons were preached in 1640, and they deal with the most crucial issues of the soul: the devastating effects of sin, the purpose of the law, the satisfaction, humiliation, and sacrifice of Christ, saving faith, hell, peace with God, and the seal of salvation, among others. Of Ussher, Dr. Francis Nigel Lee writes, "Raised in a Bible-believing Calvinistic environment, Dr. Ussher soaked himself in the Holy Scriptures without ceasing. He also read the Early Church Fathers systematically, every day, for eighteen years.

| | DISPUTATIONS ON HOLY SCRIPTURE William Whitaker One of the principal confessions of the Protestant Reformation was sola Scriptura, Scripture alone is the final, infallible authority for the church. For centuries, however, Roman Catholicism has denied this principle, positing church tradition as an equal, if not higher authority. In this book, Puritan William Whitaker forcefully and effectively deals with objections to the doctrine of sola Scriptura. He addresses issues such as the number of books in the canon, authentic versions of the Bible, as well as Scripture's authority, clarity, interpretation, and perfection. Many have said that Whitaker so greatly defended the Protestant position that 'he cut off the head of his antagonist with his own weapons.' One reader wrote: Whitaker wrote an engaging and edifying book. The purpose of Whitaker's book is to defend the doctrine of 'sola scriptura' against the Papists, especially Bellarmine and Stapleton. The defense is broken down into six questions, all which are still relevant today: 1. The number of the canonical books. 2. The authentic edition and versions. 3. The authority of Scripture. 4. The perspicuity of scripture. 5. The interpretation of Scripture. 6. The perfection of Scripture over against human traditions. Hardcover, 718 pages SGCB Price: $28.95 (list price $40.00) |

 | | IN CHRIST ALONE Living the Gospel-Centered Life Sinclair Ferguson Noted theologian, pastor, and educator Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson explores aspects of the person and work of Jesus in his latest book, In Christ Alone: Living the Gospel-Centered Life. This collection of articles, published earlier in Tabletalk magazine and Eternity Magazine, is designed to help believers gain a better understanding of their Savior and the Christian faith, and to live out that faith in their day-to-day lives. In fifty short chapters arranged in six sections, Dr. Ferguson shows that Christ, who is fully God, took on humanity that He might be the Great High Priest of His people as well as the once-for-all sacrifice; that He now ministers to His people through His Spirit, crowning them with great and precious blessings; and that believers are called to duty, from cultivating contentment to mortifying sin. In Christ Alone is packed full of nuggets of Scriptural truth that will spark and fan the flames of the believer's love for the Savior who is so beautiful in His person and so faithful in His work on behalf of His beloved sheep.
