 | | JOHN OWEN ON THE CHRISTIAN LIFE Sinclair Ferguson "John Owen on the Christian Life" addresses the fundamental issues Christians face in every age: How can I live the Christian life? how am I to deal with sin and temptation? How can I find assurance, and live for the honour of Jesus Christ? This is the first book-length study of any aspect of Owen's thought, it also stands on its own as a study in pastoral theology. Ministers, Christian leaders, readers of Owen, and those who are daunted by the sheer voluminousness of his writings will find this book an ideal companion. SGCB Price: $27.95 (list price $39.75) |

 | | EXPOSITION OF HEBREWS in seven volumes John Owen This highly acclaimed commentary, including its five preliminary exercitations, is invaluable for any one studying this weighty epistle. There is scarcely any theological truth of the least importance the discovery and illustration of which have not been anticipated by Dr. Owen's sagacious research. Spurgeon said the following in his book 'Commenting and Commentaries': "Out of scores of commendations of this colossal work we select but one. Dr. Chalmers pronounced it, 'a work of gigantic strength as well as gigantic size; and he who hath mastered it is very little short, both in respect to the doctrinal and practical Christianity, of being an erudite and accomplished theologian."

 click for details | | The Works of John Owen John Owen John Owen was born in 1616 and died in 1683. During his sixty-seven years he lived out a life full of spiritual experience, literary accomplishment, and national influence so beyond most of his peers that he continues to merit the accolade of "The greatest British theologian of all time." Despite his other acheivements, Owen is best famed for his writings. These cover the range of doctrinal, ecclesiastical and practical subjects. They are characterized by profundity, thoroughness and, consequently, authority. Andrew Thomson, his biographer, has noted that Owen makes you feel when he has reached the end of his subject, that he has also exhausted it. Although many of his works were called forth by the particular needs of his own day thay all have a uniform quality of timelessness. Owen is surely the Prince of the Puritans. 'To master his works', says Spurgeon, 'is to be a profound theologian.' But his more practical writings (especially volumes 6-9) are of immense benefit to all Christians. Whether treating the intricacies of justification by faith or the mortification of sin, Owen consistently demonstrates theological precision and pastoral sensitivity 16 volumes.

 | | A HISTORY OF THE WORK OF REDEMPTION Jonathan Edwards The scope of A HISTORY OF THE WORK OF REDEMPTION is vast. From a deep and extensive knowledge of Scripture, Jonathan Edwards set out to survey the whole of the redemptive work of God in history, from the Fall of man to the consummation of all things. A thrilling conclusion emerges: Everything in human history from start to finish is subservient to Christ's work of redemption. Not only can nothing thwart that work, but, in the wisdom of God, all that comes to pass actually serves to advance it. In a series of thirty sermons preaching in Northampton, New England, in 1739, Edwards sought to establish his congregation in this mighty truth. Later in his ministry he hoped to write a book expounding the same theme, and was even reluctant to accept the presidency of Princeton College for fear this project would be hindered. Although he did not live to carry out his intention, we can see the substance of what the intended book would have contained in this new edition of the sermons of 1739. Here readers can catch Edwards' vision of the mighty advance of the cause of Christ in the world, and gain encouragement for all gospel labors from the certainty of its triumph. 448 pp., cloth-bound SGCB Price: $19.95 (list price $29.99) |

Grosart. At that time, C. H. Spurgeon commented in The Sword and the Trowel, "The volumes now before us are by that marvelously rich author Thomas Brooks, whose wealth of imagery surpasses all others of his age. The mere marginal notes of Brooks are more valuable than pages of ordinary writers; we take pleasure in the stones of his temple, and the very dust thereof we favor. Of all the Puritans he is the most readable, if we except John Bunyan; and if he cannot display the depth of Owen or the raciness of Adams, he leaves them far behind in excessive [unusual] sweetness and sparkling beauty of metaphor. There is a clear, silvery, refreshing sound in the name 'Brooks', and as is the name, such is the man. Every reader who can afford the money should purchase this incorrupt, unmutilated, unchanged, well-printed and perfectly edited copy of Brooks."

 | | THE WRITINGS OF JOHN BRADFORD John Bradford Although converted to Protestant Christianity only in 1547, imprisoned in 1553 and burned to death in 1555, John Bradford in the influence of his life and preaching belonged among the foremost of the English Reformers. As he was about to be burned he turned to the young man being executed with him and said, "BE OF GOOD COMFORT, BROTHER, FOR WE SHALL HAVE A MERRY SUPPER WITH OUR LORD THIS NIGHT." J.C. Ryle said of these two volumes: "John Bradford is far better known as a martyr than as a writer. The splendour of his death has eclipsed the work of his pen. Few perhaps have the least idea what a rich treasure of English theology is laid up in his literary remains. They consist chiefly of sermons, short treatises, meditations, prayers, declarations, exhortations and letters. All are good, and all deserve reading. He that can read them without feeling his soul stirred within him, must be in an unsatisfactory condition. To my mind, there is not only Scriptural soundness in all that Bradford writes, but a peculiar fire, unction, warmth, and directness, which entitles him to a very high rank among Christian authors. THESE VOLUMES SHOULD NEVER BE NEGLECTED!" SGCB Price: $38.95 (list price $57.99) |

 | | COLOSSIANS: Geneva Commentary Series (HC) John Davenant C.H. Spurgeon, in his famous work, Commenting and Commentaries, placed Davenant on Colossians in the first rank of commentaries on this Pauline epistle and approvingly quoted the words of Charles Bridges about this volume: 'I know no exposition upon a detached portion of Scripture (with the single exception of Owen on the Hebrews) that will compare with it in all parts...in depth, accuracy, and discursiveness.' On the title page of an old Latin edition a satisfied reader made a note of his deep appreciation for Davenant's masterpiece: 'Don't abuse this good old book: for it is an extraordinary piece, and the best Exposition on St Paul's Epistle to the Colossians that ever was published...and I am afraid there will never be a better so long as the world endures.' 944 page clothbound volume with dust-jacket SGCB Price: $24.95 (list price $35.99) |

 | | BANNER OF TRUTH MAGAZINE Issues 1-16, Sept. 1955 - Aug 1959 Various Authors In September 1955 the first issue of The Banner of Truth magazine appeared. The concern of its first editors, Sidney Norton and Iain Murray, was not to establish a new Christian magazine at that time; rather what they sought was a recovery of those truths that declared salvation to be a work of divine grace. To secure that end, the magazine unashamedly promoted an older form of Christian literature, the kind of which was not widely available in 1950s Britain. And so, from the pages of this outwardly unattractive magazine, the voices of long dead and forgotten Reformers and Puritans sounded once again. 516 Page Beautiful Hardcover Volume Over 37% Off Newest Banner Title SGCB Price: $18.25 (list price $29.99)BEST PRICE ANYWHERE ON THE NET |

 | | PRINCETON AND PREACHING Archibald Alexander and the Christian Ministry Jim Garretson The well-deserved reputation of 'Old Princeton Seminary for wedding learning with vital piety' was due largely to the godly life, teaching, and influence of its first principal and professor, Archibald Alexander. Widely acknowledged as a 'first-class theologian, mentor, and minister of the gospel', Alexander's instruction in pastoral theology shaped a whole generation of students. Through Dr Garretson's research, Alexander's valuable and very relevant insights into the Christian ministry can now be given to a new generation of preachers. "A satisfying meal lies ahead. Its contents are nutritious, and it has been carefully prepared. It should not only nourish and strengthen, but also give pleasure." -Dr. Sinclair Ferguson "Having tayght an extensive course in Pastoral Theology for twenty years, I would have gladly made this book a first rank text of assigned reading for my students, had it then been available." - Pastor Albert N.

 | | FREE GRACE & DYING LOVE Morning Devotions Susannah Spurgeon Susannah Spurgeon was the wife of the nineteenth-century Baptist preacher C.H. Spurgeon. While much is known of her famous husband, comparatively little is known about the woman whom he adored and affectionately called, 'Wifey.' Brought together in a single volume for the first time are two titles that will help to address that imbalance. Mrs. Spurgeon's A Carillon of Bells consists of twenty- four daily meditations on selected texts of Scripture. The warm spiritual devotion to her Savior that burned in the heart of this godly woman shines through on every page. The Life of Mrs. C.H. Spurgeon by Charles Ray is an affectionate love story but one that also records the fascinating work of Mrs. Spurgeon's Book Fund. Through this agency thousands of pastors and preachers received gifts of good books that proved useful to them in their ministries. It is also a story of the all-sufficient grace of God in the midst of debilitating chronic illness Susannah Spurgeon was enabled to do a truly great work for the Lord, and her inspiring example continues to bear fruit to this day in the work of the Banner of Truth Book Fund.

 | | ELIZABETH PRENTISS "More Love to Thee" Sharon James Do you sometimes feel that you would be able to grow in love for God and others; if only your circumstances were different? Maybe you find that the sheer demands of everyday life squeeze out time for God? Perhaps a terrible tragedy has made you doubt the goodness of God? Read this true story to find out how one woman discovered that the most difficult circumstances are 'God's school' to teach us more about his grace; the very busy times are precisely those times when we need (and can find) God's strength; the worst of tragedies can draw us closer to God. Elizabeth Prentiss is best known as the author of the popular novel Stepping Heavenward (first published 1869) and the well-loved hymn, 'More Love to Thee.' The difficult things she experienced equipped her to minister to others through her letters, books, and poetry. To grow in love for God was the one great passion of her life: many have testified that her writings continue to inspire them with that same passion. 30% Discount SGCB Price: $13.95 (list price $20.00)HARDCOVER VOLUME |

 | | GLEANINGS FROM PAUL The Prayers of the Apostle A.W. Pink From the moment of his conversion Paul was a man of prayer. His many prayers scattered throughout his letters are among the richest sources in all of Scripture for getting a practical insight into the subject matter of God-honouring prayer. Pink's detailed study captures the essence of the apostle's concern for the congregations on whose behalf he consistenly prayed. However, Gleanings from Paul is much more than a mere study of Paul's prayers. Pink's insights help to gain a more rounded understanding of the apostle himself, the God he served, and the churches with which he worked. 490 PAGE HARDCOVER VOLUME SGCB Price: $19.95 (list price $28.00) |

 | | MAJESTY IN MISERY Charles H. Spurgeon In the first volume of the three volume set of Spurgeon's sermons on the passion and death of our Lord, Spurgeon takes the reader to Gethsemane, to remind us of the matchless love of Jesus,.." that for your sakes and mine he would not merely suffer in body, but consented to bear the horror of being accounted a sinner, and coming under the wrath of God because of our sins: though it cost him suffering unto death and sore amazement... Can we not cheerfully endure persecution for his sake? Can we not labour earnestly for him?. I charge you by Gethsemane, my brethren, if you have a part and lot in the passion of your Saviour, love him much who loved you so immeasurably, and spend and be spent for him." In the the second of three volumes on the passion and death of our Lord, C. H. Spurgeon bids us follow Christ into 'The Judgment Hall' and to look on as the Man of Sorrows is despised and rejected by men; first, by Annas and Caiaphas, the religious leaders of the Jewish nation, then Herod Antipas, the puppet prince of Galilee, and finally Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. Spurgeon's great gifts of passionate and persuasive preaching are clearly in evidence in these fine sermons, which include 'Christ in Bonds', 'The King in Pilate's Hall', and 'Majesty in Misery.' In this the last of three volumes on the passion and death of our Lord, C. H. Spurgeon takes us to 'Calvary's Mournful Mountain', there to view afresh the last moments of Christ's earthly life. In these sermons (which have been completely reset in a readable modern format) Spurgeon fixes our eyes upon our glorious Saviour, whose amazing grace and dying love are eloquently described and vividly portrayed by 'the prince of preachers'. As you read these sermons, including, 'The Procession of Sorrow', 'Christ's Determination to Save His People', and 'Christ's Dying Word for His Church', you will begin to understand just why Spurgeon was so loved by Christians the world over.

 | | THE LIFE OF JOHN MURRAY Iain H. Murray Professor John Murray (1898-1975) was recognized in his own lifetime as one of the leading Reformed theologians in the English-speaking world. Born in Scotland, he served in France during the First World War, before pursuing studies, first at the University of Glasgow, and then at Princeton Theological Seminary, USA. In 1929 he was invited to teach Systematic Theology at Princeton, and did so for one year, before joining the Faculty of the newly formed Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. There he shared with such scholars and Christian leaders as J. Gresham Machen and Cornelius Van Til in the great struggle to maintain the old Princeton tradition in theology, represented by the Hodges and B. B. Warfield. John Murray remained at Westminster until his retirement in 1966. He returned to his native Scotland, married and enjoyed a brief period of fatherhood prior to his death in 1974. A careful scholar, an eloquent lecturer, a moving preacher, and the author of many outstanding articles and books, Murray's driving passions were for Christ, his Word, his cause, and his people. The Life of John Murray, published originally to accompany the four volumes of his Collected Writings is now available again separately in this popular and reset edition.

 | | THE LETTERS OF JOHN NEWTON John Newton John Newton (1725-1807), converted slave-trader, preacher, and hymn-writer, was one of the most colourful figures in the Evangelical Awakening of the eighteenth century. 'Once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in Africa', he once wrote for his epitaph, 'by the rich mercy of Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had long laboured to destroy.' It was through his prolific correspondence that Newton fulfilled his distinctive work as 'the letter-writer par excellence of the Evangelical Revival'. His grasp of Scripture and deep personal experience of the 'amazing grace' of God, his many friends (among them, Whitefield, Cowper and Wilberforce), his many and varied trials, his country pastorate, his strong, clear, idiomatic style; all these factors combined to prepare the author of 'How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds', for the exercise of his special gift. These letters, selected by his biographer, Josiah Bull, bear the practical imprint of all of Newton's writings; they cover a wide variety of subjects and aim 'to conform the believer to Christ'. Among them are several that were not previously published in earlier collections of his correspondence. Of particular value and interest are the biographical sketches and historical notes supplied by the editor. More than 30% Discount SGCB Price: $18.75 (list price $27.00)AVAILABLE TO SHIP |

 | | LETTERS OF THOMAS CHALMERS Thomas Chalmers with into by Iain Murray 'It is not often that the world has seen men like Thomas Chalmers.' The vast crowds who lined the streets of Edinburgh as Chalmers' funeral procession made its way from Charlotte Square to the Grange cemetery, no doubt concurred with this statement of Thomas Carlyle. Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) was indeed a remarkable man; parish minister, popular preacher, social reformer, lecturer in moral philosophy, economics, and theology, the first Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland. His great natural gifts, combined with his fervent determination to serve the Lord who had so signally saved him by divine grace, thrust him to the forefront of the evangelical movement that was to bring such a transformation to Scotland. This volume, first published in 1853, contains a selection of his correspondence, edited by his son-in-law and biographer, William Hanna. These letters breathe the warmth of ChalmersÆ devotion to Christ and reveal his true soul. Here we see the man behind the powerful sermons and impressive lectures, the ecclesiastical debates and the studied volumes of theology; a humble servant of Christ who in spite of his outstanding natural gifts longed to be a true man of God. Writing to a friend he says, 'I long to realize the joys and exercises and the habits of experimental religion, to love Christ as fervently as good Samuel Rutherford . . . There is nothing of which I am more thoroughly aware than the utter difference which there is between a speculative and an experimental conviction of the same truth . . . I long for more of the life and freshness of an actual contact with these things; for the kingdom of God as abundantly in power as it is in word.' 'Let us all address ourselves to Him as the alone refuge and propitiation of sinners. We cannot surely trust Him too much; nor is there temerity or presumption in venturing our all upon so sure a foundation, Let us not fear that if our dependence be strong enough, we shall fail in our preparations for eternity; as the simpler and stronger our faith, the more fervent will be our love, the more abundant as well as affectionate will be our obedience.'

 | | TRUTH'S VICTORY OVER ERROR A Commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith David Dickson This book is not merely of historical interest; it is also of considerable value now because many of the errors refuted within its pages have surfaced again in the 21st century church under new guises. Christians today can learn a great deal from the faithful witness of former generations who experienced 'truth's victory over error'. Truth's Victory Over Error contains David Dickson's lectures on the Westminster Confession of Faith, delivered to the divinity students of Edinburgh University in the early 1650s. Here then is a commentary written just a few brief years after the Westminster Divines drew up their famous Confession of 1647 by one of their senior contemporaries. Dickson's comments reveal the burning issues of the day and supply fascinating insight into the robust theology of the Scottish Puritans. In the Introduction to the book Robert Wodrow writes that the author 'as it were, breaks the truths of our Confession small, and prepares them for the meanest capacities.' Here, then, is a useful aid for Christians who want to study and understand the doctrines of the Confession itself. Dickson was concerned to explain the truth and refute error. Not content merely to establish the ConfessionÆs articles from Scripture, he also 'guards against the gangrene and poison of contrary errors, with judgment and perspicuity' (Wodrow). Like all true evangelicals, Dickson saw the vital need of expressing the BibleÆs teaching in both negative and positive propositions.

| | Life and Times of George Whitefield Robert Philip There can be few Christians who changed the life of nations only to be as little remembered as George Whitefield (1714-70). In part this was because he left no denomination. Except for the short biography by the Scotsman, John Gillies (published two years after his death), Whitefield's memory was left largely in the hands of those who wished to attribute his influence to 'theatrical talent' and fanaticism. The tide of unfavourable opinion did not change until the publication of Robert Phillip's volume in 1837. By 1852 J.C. Ryle was among those popularizing the belief that 'Whitefield was one of the most powerful and extraordinary preachers the world has ever seen.' Later and more definitive biographies were to confirm this opinion, notably the two volumes of Luke Tyerman 1876-77 and of Arnold Dallimore in 1970 and 1980. Philip's biography, however, remains the best account to be found in a single volume. Drawing on the testimony of those who had a personal knowledge of this subject, and from his own extensive study of Whitefield's journals, letters and sermons, Philip grasped the great lesson of the evangelist's life, namely, that it is the Holy Spirit who makes preachers. Philip is not an uncritical biographer, and he is ready to note weaknesses and failures that admirers of Whitefield have sometimes passed over. But the outstanding feature of his work is the way in which he allows his subject to speak for himself. He seems to have absorbed all that Whitefield ever said and wrote, and his selection brings us into direct contact with the man. Thus Philip can truthfully write: 'This work is chiefly from Whitefield's own pen. So far as it is mine, it is in his own spirit.' For those who want a work of quiet scholarship, Philip is not their man. But where there is a desire for the evangelical flame 'for words that burn, and reach heart and soul' this volume will clearly show why the gospel can turn the world upside down. Philip's Life and Times of George Whitefield was one of the first biographies I read as a young Christian and I never return to it without being stirred afresh by its enduring message.' - Iain H. Murray. Page Count : 588 SGCB Price: $12.95 (list price $19.00) |

| | DAVID: Man of Prayer, Man of War Walt Chantry Only the supreme providence of God and the unfathomable depths of divine grace could have conceived and forged the life of David. God made the son of Jesse into the emblem of the kingly office which only Christ would fulfill more gloriously. He embodied all the qualities of manly nobility and charm. Everyone in his day loved David, except the most ugly and despicable figures. No matter how high David rose above other men, his spirit was childlike toward the Lord. He who was equally at home holding the shepherd's staff, the warrior's sword, the poetÆs harp, and the ruler's sceptre, was completely transparent in the humbling of himself before the God of all the earth. This ease and simplicity in worship draws out our deepest emotions as we read the life of David, King of Israel. We love this man for showing us how to pray from every point of life's compass. We love him for showing us how, in the midst of spiritual failure, we too can draw near to the Lord again in trust and devotion. Perfectionists will not be comfortable with David. Those who stumble often, but who always turn with melted hearts to God for pardon and help, will find in him a brother for all situations. Such people will love the sacred history of his life and find it totally engrossing. SGCB Price: $12.50 (list price $18.00) |

| | THE WORKS OF ANDREW FULLER Andrew Fuller This Baptist minister and theologian was a truly outstanding man and one of the most attractive personalities in church history. C.H. Spurgeon called Fuller, "The greatest theologian of his century," while his close friend, William Carey (1761-1834) expressed the thought of many who were personally acquainted with him, when he said, "I loved him." Converted in 1769, Fuller was called to the pastorate of his family's church (1775). These were the formative years of his ministry, when his theological understanding was sharpened through close study of the writings of Jonathan Edwards, and by his life-long friendships with his closest ministerial colleagues, Robert Hall Sr., John Ryland Jr., and John Sutcliff. In 1782 he became pastor of the Baptist church in Kettering, Northamptonshire. Here he spent 33 fruitful years in pastoral ministry, theological controversy, and missionary endeavour. Perhaps the most significant event in his ministry here was the publishing in 1785 (second edition 1801) of his The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation. Its main purpose was to set forth the truth that "faith in Christ is the duty of all men who hear, or have opportunity to hear, the gospel." This epoch-making book", says Michael Haykin, "sought to be faithful to the central emphases of historic Calvinism while at the same time attempting to leave preachers with no alternative but to drive home to their hearers the universal obligations of repentance and faith." Its significance cannot be exaggerated, for it led directly to Fuller's whole-hearted involvement in the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society (1792) and the subsequent sending of the Society's most famous missionary, William Carey to India (1793). The dominant theme of Fuller's Works is "the grace of God in the gospel." In his last letter to his friend John Ryland, Jr., Fuller testified: "I have preached and written much against the abuse of the doctrine of grace, but that doctrine is all my salvation and all my desire. I have no other hope than from salvation by mere sovereign, efficacious grace through the atonement of my Lord and Saviour". Over 1100 page hardcover volume SGCB Price: $25.95 (list price $37.00) |

| | THE DIARY & JOURNAL OF DAVID BRAINERD Jonathan Edwards The Diary and Journal of David Brainerd (1718-1747) is of much more than merely historical interest. The first internationally recognized biography to be printed in America, the first full missionary biography ever to be published, it has had a profound impact on successive generations of Christians around the world. Few books have done so much to promote prayer and missionary action as the Life of Brainerd, and it is not without good reason that it has remained in print since the great New England pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards first published it in 1749. Between 1742 and his death in 1747 David Brainerd took the gospel to the North American Indians in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. He willingly ran any risk and accepted any hardship to fulfill his calling as a missionary. The amount of work which he achieved in such unpromising and difficult circumstances now seems almost incredible. His total dedication to the cause of making Christ known inspired the finest of missionaries who followed in his footsteps: William Carey, who loved Brainerd's writings, confessed, 'I was much humbled today by reading Brainerd. O, what a disparity betwixt me and him! He always constant; I as inconstant as the wind.' Henry Martyn said of Brainerd, "Oh! Blessed be the memory of that beloved saint! No uninspired writer ever did me so much good.' Today his life continues to minister encouragement to the servants of God, as John Piper testifies, 'for meà Brainerd's life is a vivid, powerful testimony to the truth that God can and does use weak, sick, discouraged, beat-down, lonely, struggling saints, who cry to him day and night, to accomplish amazing things for his glory.' JOHN PIPER: "Brainerd's life is a vivid, powerful testimony to the truth that God can and does use weak, sick, discouraged, beat-down, lonely, struggling saints, who cry to him day and night, to accomplish amazing things for his glory." JOHN NEWTON: "Next to the Word of God, I like those books best which give account of the lives and experiences of his people. No book of this kind has been more welcome to me than the life of Mr. Brainerd of New England." HENRY MARTYN: "David Brainerd. Oh! Blessed be the memory of that beloved saint! No uninspired writer ever did me so much good." ROBERT MURRAY M'CHEYNE: "Life of Brainerd. Most wonderful man! O to have BrainerdÆs heart for perfect holiness!" WILLIAM CAREY, WILLIAM WARD, JOSHUA MARSHMAN: "Let us often look at Brainerd in the woods of America, pouring out his very soul before God for the perishing heathen without whose salvation nothing could make him happy." 792 Page Clothbound Volume SGCB Price: $18.95 (list price $27.00) |

| | THE LIFE OF DR. D. MARTYN LLOYD-JONES In Two Volumes Iain Murray The events that transported Martyn Lloyd-Jones from a glamouous Harley Street medical practice to a pastorate in an impoverished Welsh mining town make a magnificent biography. The ministry of Martyn Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel which began at the outbreak of World War II was suddenly changed at the point at which this volume begins. His hard work in the difficult War and post-War years became the preparation for his great influence in London in the fifties and sixties. But these pages trace his ministry into wider circles - to the Universities, to Europe, the United States, South Africa and ultimately, in his books, to the whole world.

 | | LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS Charles H. Spurgeon While C. H. Spurgeon is still remembered as being the most popular preacher of the Victorian era, it has generally been forgotten that the influence he exercised on fellow ministers and theological students was possibly an even greater factor in his life than his own personal ministry. That he organized a college, supervised the training of some 845 students, presided at an annual conference of ministers, and regarded all this as his 'life's labour and delight' are facts that are little known today. Spurgeon's Lectures to my Students, contain the substance of Spurgeon's regular Friday afternoon addresses to the college students. This new complete and unabridged Banner edition, which has been newly typeset, contains all the lectures in the original first and second series, including The Minister's Self-Watch, The Preacher's Private Prayer, The Minister's Fainting Fits, The Holy Spirit in Connection with our Ministry, The Need of Decision for the Truth, and On Conversion as our Aim. Also included is a third series of lectures, originally published as The Art of Illustration, which focuses on the nature, use, and sources of illustrations and anecdotes in preaching. To make this new edition as complete as possible, the publishers have also included Spurgeon's Commenting & Commentaries, which contains two further lectures and a fascinating and often humorously annotated catalogue of commentaries. This catalogue, compiled by Spurgeon after a review of some three to four thousand volumes, is anything but dull: calculated to produce enthusiasts for books, it also opens up a new world by its well-placed signposts to the riches of the past. "My College lectures are colloquial, familiar, full of anecdote, and often humorous: they are purposely made so, to suit the occasion. At the end of the week I meet the students, and find them weary with sterner studies, and I judge it best to be as lively and interesting in my prelections as I well can be. They have had their fill of classics, mathematics, and divinity, and are only in a condition to receive something which will attract and secure their attention, and fire their hearts. The solemn work with which the Christian ministry concerns itself demands a man's all, and that all at its best. To engage in it half-heartedly is an insult to God and man. Slumber must forsake our eyelids sooner than men shall be allowed to perish. Yet we are all prone to sleep as do others, and students, among the rest, are apt to act the part of the foolish virgins; therefore have I sought to speak out my whole soul, in the hope that I might not create or foster dullness in others. May he in whose hand are the churches and their pastors bless these words to younger brethren in the ministry, and if so I shall count it more than a full reward, and shall gratefully praise the Lord. - C.

 | | THE SERMONS OF JOHN CALVIN Six Volume Hardcover Set John Calvin SERMONS ON SECOND SAMUEL 1 -13 SERMONS OF JOB SERMONS ON THE BEATITUDES SERMONS ON ACTS 1 -7 SERMONS ON GALATIANS SERMONS ON EPHESIANS Here you will find nearly 4000 pages of Calvin's expositions expertly translated into the English language, several for the first time ever. Listen to his opening words on David's Sin with Bathsheba, "Now here is a story which should make our hair stand straight up on end whenever we think of it - that a servant of God as excellent as David should fall into such a serious and enormous sin that he could be judged as the most morally lax and promiscuous person in the world." CALVIN THE PREACHER WAS CALVIN AT HIS VERY BEST. "John Calvin was a remarkable preacher. In his own day his sermons were eagerly attended by his followers and were printed, widely distributed in a number of languages, and read by many. In our day Calvin's reputation as a theologian and Biblical commentator has largely overshadowed his reputation as a preacher and his sermons have been difficult to find. The republication of Calvin's sermons is a very welcome event. These sermons will help us see again the greatness of Calvin as a preacher, but much more importantly they will be a source of great spiritual blessing to every believer who reads them." - Dr. W. Robert Godfrey "Calvin was preeminently a preacher, and as a preacher he saw himself primarily as a Bible teacher. Calvin is hardly thought of in this way today. He is best known for his greatly influential 'Institutes of the Christian Religion,' not for his preaching, yet he spent most of his time and effort preaching two sermons on Sunday and usually every day of the week (Monday through Friday) on alternate weeks. It is a delight to have these sermons available again." - James M. Boice 'It is hoped that the reader of these sermons will seek not just to confirm the sermons' agreement with Calvinistic theology, but particularly to experience Calvin's sincere and profound personal response to the loving and merciful God whose Son is on the threshold of judging with finality the whole world with mercy and justice.' - From the Translator's Preface John Calvin is generally thought of as the greatest theologian of the Protestant Reformation or as a gifted Bible commentator whose insights into the text of Scripture are still highly valued today. Yet it is not widely known that the greatest obligation Calvin felt was not to his fellow scholars, nor even to his students, but to the ordinary people - citizens of Geneva and persecuted refugees, shopkeepers and merchants, the young and the old - who crowded St Peter's church no less than ten times a fortnight to listen to his sermons in French. Calvin's sermons have lain for too long in the shadow of his commentaries. In seeking to correct this imbalance, it should be remembered that a sermon serves a very different purpose from a commentary. While explanation and interpretation are enough for students, they are never enough for a congregation of sinners. That is why Calvin's sermons always combine the essential elements of all true preaching - exposition, exhortation and practical application. So let the reader be warned: this volume contains lively preaching! Calvin aims to awaken the conscience and also demands life-changing action. Is it any wonder that such preaching was used by God to bring spiritual renewal on an unprecedented scale to the people and nations of sixteenth-century Europe?

 | | THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY with "An Inquiry into the Causes of its Inefficiency" Charles Bridges The revival of the church seems to be closely connected with the condition of its ministry. Charles Bridges subtitled his study of the Christian ministry, "An Inquiry into the Causes of its Inefficiency", and, rightly used, it is well suited to promote a faithful and effective ministry. Bridges begins by considering the general and personal causes of ministerial ineffectiveness, and goes on to examine preaching and pastoral work. A wonderful book to give to young men in the ministry or for those training for the ministry. SGCB Price: $22.95 (list price $31.99) |

 | | THE SERMONS OF ROBERT MURRAY M'CHEYNE Robert Murray M'Cheyne At the beginning of the twentieth century, James Macdonald of Edinburgh purchased a box of old papers which had belonged to a preacher of around sixty years earlier. The contents might have seemed of little value, but to some they were 'altogether priceless'. They were the notebooks and sermon notes of Robert Murray M'Cheyne (1813-43), the godly and devoted minister of St Peter's Church, Dundee. From these papers, lodged in the library of New College, Edinburgh, Dr Michael D. McMullen has transcribed the sermons found in this set of three volumes. They are indeed a precious treasure. Whether based on Old Testament or New, every sermon is full of Christ: the sinner's need of Him, the fullness of His grace, the happiness of those who come to Him, and the danger of stopping short of genuine faith in Him. They will remind preachers and ordinary Christians alike that to preach Christ aright, one must first know Him, and live in the atmosphere of His love. Banner of Truth has reprinted this marvelous three volume set in their usual manner in beautiful hardcover volumes.

 | | MEMOIR & REMAINS OF ROBERT MURRAY M'CHEYNE Andrew Bonar This is One of the best-loved and most widely influential Christian classics of all time. Contains not only Bonar's Life of M'Cheyne but a wide selection from his sermons, letters and other writings. Every minister of the Gospel, and everyone who desires to live for Jesus Christ ought to read through this volume at least once. Just a few quotes from M'Cheyne will whet your appetite: "A man is what he is on his knees before God, and nothing more." "For every look at self, take ten looks at Christ." "Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this, for your sermons last but an hour or two; your life preaches all the week. If Satan can only make a covetous minister a lover of praise, of pleasure, of good eating, he has ruined your ministry. Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God. Luther spent his best three hours in prayer." "Get your texts from God; your thoughts, your words, from God. In great measure, according to the purity and perfection's of the instrument, will be success. It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God's Spirit, is worth ten thousands words spoken in unbelief and sin." "Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities." "A great part of my time is spent in getting my heart in tune for prayer. It is the link that connects earth with heaven." "Lord make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be."
