 | | HEAVEN: A WORLD OF LOVE Jonathan Edwards "Edwards gives us a taste of heaven that is savoring to the soul," writes R.C. Sproul of what is perhaps Jonathan Edwards' most beautiful work. A stirring and biblical portrait that will inflame your heart and thrill your soul. "To read the work of a Puritan doctor of the soul is to enter a rich world of spiritual theology to feed the mind, heart-searching analysis to probe the conscience, Christ-centred grace to transform the heart, and wise counsel to direct the life. This series of Pocket Puritans provides all this in miniature, but also in abundance." -- Sinclair B. Ferguson "I believe with all my heart that in order to be useful in this world, we must fall in love with another world. In order to transform this world for the glory of Christ, we must be saturated with the glory and wisdom of another world. In order to be changed from one degree of glory to another now, we must hope fully in the grace that is about to be revealed to us soon. In order to be the light of the world, we must put our torch in the flame of heaven. In all of this, Jonathan Edwards is our great helper and 'Heaven: A World of Love' is one of his greatest feasts." - John Piper "There is nothing but heaven worth setting our hearts upon." - Richard Baxter "Out duty as Christians is always to keep heaven in our eye and earth under our feet." - Matthew Henry Out of Stock - No Longer Available SGCB Price: $5.99 (list price $6.00) |

 | | 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."

 | | 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. BOT NEW ARRIVALS BANNER STOCK SALE 25% SGCB Price: $13.50 (list price $18.00) |

 | | THE SERMONS OF JOHN CALVIN Eight Volume Hardcover Set John Calvin SERMONS ON GENESIS 1 - 11 SERMONS ON SECOND SAMUEL 1 -13 SERMONS OF JOB SERMONS ON LUKE 1 - 2 (Songs of the Nativity) SERMONS ON THE BEATITUDES SERMONS ON ACTS 1 -7 SERMONS ON GALATIANS SERMONS ON EPHESIANS Here you will find nearly 5000 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 GOSPEL AS TAUGHT BY CALVIN R.C. Reed In the eight chapters, R.C. Reed (a professor of ecclesiastical history anc church polity at Columbia Theological Seminary in SC) answered key questions: What is the History of Calvinism? What About Man's Sinful Nature? Is God's Grace Invincible? Who Makes the First Choice--Christ or the Sinner? Is the Atonement Limited in its Design and Scope? Is it True that "Once in Grace Always in Grace?" Does Calvinism Square with God's Love? How Do the Fruits of Calvinism Demonstrate its Validity? Richard Clark Reed (1851-1925) a Presbyterian, graduated from King College and Union Theological Seminary (Virginia). After serving a number of pastorates, including the Woodland Street Church of Nashville, TN he served for the rest of his life as professor of ecclesiastical history and church polity at Columbia Theological Seminary, SC. "I highly prize this little book. Better than any other book or article that I know, Reed captures the essence of Calvinism in clear and accessible language and with a warm and winsome spirit. I return to it again and again in my study and teaching (I have already done so today). I always find a memorable quote, a useful illustration, or a powerful application.

| | SONGS OF THE NATIVITY Sermons on Luke 1 and 2 John Calvin "Here we see Calvin the faithful pastor - expounding the text and applying it with passion All four Gospels bear witness to the supernatural person and work of Jesus Christ, but only the first and third testify explicitly to his supernatural conception and birth. The accounts given in Matthew and Luke are clearly independent of each other, but both unambiguously affirm that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, through the direct action of the Holy Spirit and without the intervention of a human father. Luke's Gospel is notable for its distinctive songs, strikingly reminiscent of the Psalms. Chief among these are Mary's song, the Magnificat, Zechariah's song, the Benedictus, the Angels' song, the Gloria in excelsis, and Simeon's song, the Nunc dimittis. Together, they have nourished the prayer and meditation of countless Christians, and enriched the church's worship. They are full of prophetic hope, eager expectation, and joyful thanksgiving. God's great redemptive work is moving to its climax with the birth of the Saviour, Jesus, Son of the Most High. Luke's 'gospel of the incarnation' was good news to all who, like the representatives of the old Israel, looked for Messiah's first advent; it is good news to all who, today, look for his second. Preached in Geneva between October 1559 and March 1560, Calvin's sermons on the nativity story are the fruit of almost twenty-five years of gospel ministry. Here we see Calvin the faithful pastor, expounding the text and applying it with passion and vigour to his congregation by means of persuasion, exhortation, admonition and rebuke. Robert White's excellent translation transports the reader back to St Peter's Cathedral, Geneva, where Calvin can be heard, or overheard, preaching on issues of perennial importance to all Christian men and women.

| | TRUTH FOR ALL TIME John Calvin John Calvin knew that if the biblical truths rediscovered at the Reformation were to spread throughout the world, they would have to be presented in a form that ordinary people could understand. So, during the winter of 1536-37, the 29-year old Calvin wrote, in French, his Brief Outline of the Christian Faith. This is CalvinÆs striking but concise attempt to define the Christian Faith for ordinary people! Here you have the very core of Protestant belief and feel the warmth of its ardent love for God and men.

| | THE COMPLETE POCKET PURITAN SERIES Baxter, Brooks, Edwards, Flavel and Ward "To read the work of a Puritan doctor of the soul is to enter a rich world of spiritual theology to feed the mind, heart-searching analysis to probe the conscience, Christ-centred grace to transform the heart, and wise counsel to direct the life. This series of Pocket Puritans provides all this in miniature, but also in abundance." -- Sinclair B. Ferguson Thus far the following titles are available, which we are offering only as a Complete Set. ANGER Management, by Richard Baxter Anger is God's good gift to help us resist all that is wrong. But anger may itself be sinful. Richard Baxter gives valuable and practical advice on how to recognize and overcome this sinful anger in all its forms. Adapted and paraphrased from Richard Baxter's Christian Directory by Richard Rushing. Binge DRINKING, by John Flavel Often considered a modern phenomenon, binge drinking is in fact an age-old problem. John Flavel, a puritan minister in the naval port of Dartmouth, England, pulls no punches as he confronts the sin of drunkenness head on. Flavel's treatment is a highly relevant exposT of the soul-destroying evils of this 'detestable sin'. HEAVEN, A World of Love, by Jonathan Edwards According to Jonathan Edwards, heaven will be a world of holy love. God himself is the source of this love, and in heaven he will impart it perfectly to all his people. Edwards unfolds the nature, expression, effects, and enjoyment of this best of all the gifts God ever bestows on those who believe. From Jonathan Edwards' 'Charity and Its Fruits.' Impure LUST by John Flavel John Flavel faithfully and powerfully applies the warnings of Scripture against sexual immorality. He exposes both its truly horrid nature and frightening consequences, before giving sound advice on how to avoid the snares of sexual sin, and how to escape if ensnared. From Flavel's 'The Harlot's Face in the Scripture-Glass.' Living FAITH, by Samuel Ward Samuel Ward explains the immense value of faith, not only as the gateway to salvation and life everlasting, but as the key to a joyful and triumphant life in this present world. In every sense Christians should be those who live by their faith. Adapted and paraphrased from 'The Sermons of Samuel Ward,' by Richard Rushing. Repent & Believe,by Thomas Brooks The Puritans believed in the reality of devil and in his deadly antagonism to the souls of men. To keep us in our lost and condemned state he employs two devices against us: he persuades us that repentance is easy and believing in Christ is impossible. Brooks masterfully uncovers Satan's devices and skilfully prescribes the Bible's remedies against them. AM I A CHRISTIAN? By James Frasier 25% SGCB Price: $31.50 (list price $42.00)AM I A CHRISTIAN?

| | AUTHORITY Martyn Lloyd-Jones There is a crisis of authority in society today. All inherited authority is suspect, being regarded as incompatible with man's freedom. Yet what has resulted is a disordered and dehumanized society. But the source of this confusion lies in the church itself. The authority of the Bible has been called in question and commonly today the church is left without any sense of divine authority. Dr. Lloyd-Jones faces this issue as he discusses the only road to recovery. We must reassert the divine authority of Christ, of his Word and of his Spirit or face 'the blackness of darness forever'. 25% SGCB Price: $3.75 (list price $5.00) |

| | COMMUNION WITH GOD John Owen John Owen believed that communion with God lies at the heart of the Christian life. With Paul he recognised that through the Son we have access by the Spirit to the Father. He never lost the sense of amazement expressed by John: 'Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ'. In this outstanding book he explains the nature of this communion and describes the many privileges it brings. Dr R. J. K. Law has produced a splendidly readable abridgement of one of the greatest Christian classics of all time, bringing Owen's rich teaching to a much wider readership. 25% SGCB Price: $6.75 (list price $9.00)50% SALE WHILE STOCK LASTS |

| | CONCERNING THE TRUE CARE OF SOULS Martin Bucer Description: First time ever available in English, this "Reformation handbook of pastoral theology ... sets out in a vivid and persuasive way, biblical principles for church life, ministry, and discipline." For more than twenty-five years Martin Bucer was the undisputed leader of the Protestant Reformation in the city of Strasbourg. Yet he never managed to achieve all that he wished due to the opposition of the city's political leaders. In 1548 he moved at the invitation of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer to England, where he spent the last few years of his life as Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. Ten years earlier, in 1538, Bucer produced what he called 'this little book.' A Reformation handbook of pastoral theology, it sets out his ideal of a godly Christian society, and was 'written solely for the LordÆs glory and the improvement of his church at this time when ChristÆs sheep are so deplorably scattered'. He commended it 'to the Christian consideration of all God's children, asking only that nothing should be judged according to carnal standards, but everything according to the word of the Lord.' And added, 'May the Lord grant that it will be of much use for his kingdom.' Although largely rejected by the government of Strasbourg, Bucer's Concerning the True Care of Souls met with much more success further afield and was to exercise a vast influence in later history. In Hesse, for example, a church order was introduced based on Bucer's ideas, and in Strasbourg itself they were implemented in the French refugee community pastured from 1538 to 1541 by the young John Calvin, who had a great respect for Bucer and worked closely with him. Nearly 500 years later we can still benefit greatly from Bucer's spiritual wisdom as he sets out, in a vivid and persuasive way, biblical principles for church life, ministry, and discipline. Translated into English for the very first time through the labours of Peter Beale, the publishers send it forth, reechoing Bucer's prayer: 'May the Lord grant that it will be of much use for his kingdom.'

| | HEROES: Edwards, Whitefield, Newton, Charles, Spurgeon and More Iain Murray Description: The Bible no more knows a separate class of heroes than it does of saints. Because of Jesus Christ, every christian is extraordinary and attains to glory. Yet grace so shines in some (as in the portraits of Hebrews 11), that it lightens the path of many. As A.W. Tozer could write, 'Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aid to the life of faith may be christian biographies.' Iain Murray has already written on a number of Christians he specially admires. A few of them return to these pages, but with special reference to their thought - George Whitefield on Christian unity, for example. Most space, howver, is given to little-known figures, including Robert Kalley and William Hewitson who shared in 'the greatest happening in modern missions', and to Charles and Mary Colcock Jones who took much-loved slaves with them to heaven. There is much new research in these pages, and reminders of how much is missed by those who fail to read of the work of God in history. Christians who know what Christ did 'yesterday' are energized to trust and serve him today. BOT NEW ARRIVALS 25% SGCB Price: $21.00 (list price $28.00) |

| | A COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS John Calvin, edited and abridged by David C. Searle John Calvin was a practical and pastoral theologian. Like the Apostle Paul he worked tirelessly 'for the sake of the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness' (Titus 1:1). For him knowledge of the truth was for living, and living was for the glory of God. All of Calvin's preaching, teaching, and writing was directed to this one great end, to serve the church of Jesus Christ so that all 'may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory' (2 Tim. 2:10). This book is an abridgement of Calvin's commentary on the Psalms, reducing it to about one quarter of its original size. It is the result of a labour of love undertaken by one who has for some years used Calvin on the Psalms in his devotional reading of Scripture, and who has grown to appreciate Calvin's method of exposition, his faithfulness to the biblical text, and his practical application of the truth to daily living. But why abridge Calvin? The sad fact is that few teachers and preachers of the gospel today ever use any of Calvin's commentaries. Some busy pastors and ministers balk at the sheer scale of Calvin's five-volume commentary on the Psalms, (which forms part of a much larger twenty-two-volume set). Others tend to shy away from Calvin's writings, mistakenly thinking that such are the preserve of academics and theologians, and not of the whole church. Alas, nothing could be further from the truth! This abridgement has been made with such people in mind. It is not intended to deprive readers of the full benefit of Calvin's unabridged text, but to edify those who otherwise might remain strangers to Calvin's practical and pastoral wisdom. Indeed, in the view of the publisher the editor's noble aims have been fully met, that in this single volume 'something of the unsurpassed excellence of Calvin's instruction will have been preserved and made available to a wider public than would ever have made use of the original massive and magisterial work.' Here, then, is a treasure chest containing a choice selection of the wonderful riches to be found in Calvin's commentary on the Psalms. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TITLE: Commentary on The Psalms (Abridged) AUTHOR: John Calvin ISBN: 978-1-84871-031-3 BINDING: Clothbbound PAGE COUNT: 684 pages 40% Discount - 2 COPIES SGCB Price: $18.95 (list price $32.00) |

| | JESUS HIMSELF: The Story of the Resurrection Marcus L. Loane In the Foreword of this book Sir Marcus Loane writes, æThe wonder and glory of the Resurrection are far greater than we can ever conceive. That great drama took place in the silent tomb a great while before it was yet day. No one else was there when God raised Jesus from the dead: no one saw it happen . . . All that was mortal had put on immortality: death was swallowed up in victory. And it was in his risen glory that he made himself known to his disciples . . .Æ The chapters that follow are part of a well-loved and life-long pilgrimage for the author. The Resurrection story they recount comes across with a freshness and loveliness that is full of heart-warming fascination.

| | THE PREACHING OF JONATHAN EDWARDS John Carrick Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) is widely regarded not only as America's greatest theologian and philosopher, but also as one of her greatest preachers. It is a remarkable fact, however, that his preaching has been somewhat neglected, both in academic circles and in the Reformed churches. Published in the year that marks the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his death, this book successfully straddles the church's and the academy's interest in Edwards and supplies that omission. Dr Carrick demonstrates that Edwards was preaching and writing at a unique moment in history when the Puritan spirit and the spirit of the Enlightenment intersected; he traces the remarkable fall and rise of interest in the great American preacher-theologian in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; he interacts, both positively and critically, with the now complete Yale edition of Edwards' Works and also with the ever burgeoning field of Edwards scholarship; and he cites extensively from Edwards' sermons, treatises, and Miscellanies in order to demonstrate the power and the profundity of his preaching and thought. The author's main focus is, throughout, primarily homiletical; but interwoven in the homiletical focus are theological, philosophical, historical, and biographical strands. He constantly seeks to place Edwards and his sermons in their New England context " indeed, in their wider eighteenth-century transatlantic context " thus providing, wherever possible, the historical background for Edwards' sermons. The 'New York period', the 'Great Apostasy' at Yale, the Bolton interlude, the Yale tutorship, the Boston Lecture of 1731, the Enfield sermon, the Yale Commencement of 1741, the great revivals, the landmark funerals, the Edwards-Stoddard-Williams dynamic, the Communion controversy, the Farewell Sermon, the romance of the Stockbridge years " these are all treated within the context of a systematic analysis of Edwards' preaching under a number of different themes. Dr Carrick does not shrink from sounding a note of critique at certain points and he warns against the danger of slavishly imitating the New England preacher. But he is also clearly convinced of Edwards' extraordinary greatness and of the tremendous value of his sermons for Christians today. 'Iron sharpens iron'; and the iron of Edwards' marvellous expositions and applications is sure to sharpen the minds and souls of all those who study them carefully. 478 Pages Published: August 2008 BOT NEW ARRIVALS BANNER STOCK SALE 25% SGCB Price: $21.00 (list price $28.00) |

| | DIARY & JOURNAL OF DAVID BRAINERD Jonathan Edwards BOT NEWEST ARRIVALS There are two ways of representing and recommending true religion and virtue to the world; the one, by doctrine and precept; the other, by instance and example; both are abundantly used in the Holy Scriptures. Not only are the grounds, nature, design, and importance of religion clearly exhibited in the doctrines of Scripture--its exercise and practice plainly delineated, and abundantly enforced, in its commands and counsels--but there we have many excellent examples of religion, in its power and practice, set before us, in the histories both of the Old and New Testament. God also in his providence has been wont to make use of both these methods to hold forth light to mankind, and inducements to their duty, in all ages. He has from time to time raised up eminent teachers, to exhibit and bear testimony to the truth by their doctrine, and to oppose the errors, darkness, and wickedness of the world; and he has also raised up some eminent persons who have set bright examples of that religion which is taught and prescribed in the word of God; whose examples have, in the course of divine providence, been set forth to public view. These have a great tendency both to engage the attention of men to the doctrines and rules taught, and also to confirm and enforce them; especially when these bright examples have been exhibited in the same persons who have been eminent teachers. Hereby the world has had opportunity to see a confirmation of the truth, efficacy, and amiableness of the religion taught, in the practice of the same persons who have most clearly and forcibly taught it; and above all, when these bright examples have been set by eminent teachers, in a variety of unusual circumstances of remarkable trial; and when God has withal remarkably distinguished them with wonderful success of their instructions and labours. Such an instance we have in the excellent person, whose life is published in the following pages. His example is attended with a great variety of circumstances tending to engage the attention of religious people, especially in these parts of the world. He was one of distinguished natural abilities; as all are sensible, who had acquaintance with him. As a minister of the gospel, he was called to unusual services in that work; and his ministry was attended with very remarkable and unusual events. His course of religion began before the late times of extraordinary religious commotion; yet he was not an idle spectator, but had a near concern in many things that passed at that time. He had a very extensive acquaintance with those who have been the subjects of the late religious operations, in places far distant, in people of different nations, education, manners, and customs. He had a peculiar opportunity of acquaintance with the false appearances and counterfeits of religion; was the instrument of a most remarkable awakening, a wonderful and abiding alteration and moral transformation of subjects who peculiarly render the change rare and astonishing.

| | THE ULSTER AWAKENING An Account of the 1859 Revival in Ireland John Weir BOT NEWEST ARRIVALS One hundred and fifty years ago the Spirit of God was poured out in great abundance upon the churches and people of Ulster, one of Ireland's four ancient provinces. From humble beginnings among praying people in a Country Antrim village, a mighty spiritual movement spread rapidly across the whole province, transforming the lives of many thousands in countryside and city alike and bringing with it radical social changes that lasted for several generations. Writing in 1860 to defend the Awakening against the attacks of a sceptical press, John Weir, an Irish Presbyterian minister, skilfully weaves correspondence from the leading figures of the Revival into his truly fascinating, eye-witness account of the soul-stirring events of 1859.

| | THE SUFFERING SAVIOUR A Series of Devotional Meditations on the Cross F.W. Krummacher BOT NEWEST ARRIVALS This series of devotional meditations on the final scenes in the life of Christ on earth has been prized by successive generations of Christians ever since its original publication in 1854. Translated almost immediately into English and frequently republished, the book has been described as the greatest single volume of the entire nineteenth century on the last days of ChristÆs earthly ministry. Krummacher organizes his meditations around the structure of the Old Testament tabernacle. The first section, The Outer Court, covers the time from JesusÆ announcement of His approaching death to His discourses on the way to Gethsemane. The central section, the longest, is entitled The Holy Place. It deals with Gethsemane, JudasÆ betrayal, PeterÆs denial, all the judicial proceedings, Christ's scourging, and the journey to Calvary. The final section, The Most Holy Place, covers the crucifixion itself, Christ's sayings from the cross, His agony and death, and His burial. This is a book to which all Christians, and especially preachers, will want to return frequently, to have their hearts warmed afresh, and their love to, and zeal for, their Saviour rekindled.

| | CHRIST AND THE FUTURE The Biblle's Teaching About the Last Things Cornelius P. Venema This book is an abridgement of Dr VenemaÆs highly acclaimed, major study, The Promise of the Future. Prepared especially with the non-specialist reader in mind, Christ and the Future expertly summarizes the BibleÆs teaching about the last things. The Christ-centred nature of the biblical teaching on the future is the main emphasis throughout, as the author shows us the future of the individual, the church, and, indeed, the whole universe. "Dr VenemaÆs fine study is both comprehensive and careful. He is thoroughly biblical; he is also honest and fair in dealing with the variety of eschatological positions that are current in the Christian church. He does not shrink from tackling the hard questions which arise. Nor is he intimidated by the heavy artillery behind some of the views which he believes to be unbiblical. Furthermore, his commitment to serve the church, coupled with his background in pastoral ministry, guarantees that his exposition, even of complex issues, is expressed in a way that the average Christian should be able to follow. For these reasons and others, I believe that you will find the study on which you are about to embark both intellectually satisfying and spiritually enriching." --Sinclair B. Ferguson About the Author Cornelis P. Venema is the President of Mid-America Reformed Seminary, Dyer, Indiana, where he also serves as Professor of Doctrinal Studies. He gained his PhD. from Princeton Theological Seminary for work on the theology of John Calvin. His other books include The Promise of the Future, Getting the Gospel Right, and The Gospel of Free Acceptance in Christ. BOT NEWEST ARRIVALS 25% SGCB Price: $12.75 (list price $17.00) |

Knowing the Times brings together ... a number of addresses which exhibit this vibrant prophetic character.... Those who heard Dr. Lloyd-Jones speak in a variety of contexts will easily recall the kind of impact which accompanied addresses like these... All will agree that Knowing the Times is one of the most significant Lloyd-Jones titles ever published. The addresses reprinted here remain 'tracts for the times.' The publishers believe that they have the potential to be used in the preparation of another generation who will be like the children of Issachar referred to in 1 Chronicles 12:32: 'Men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.' --From the Introduction "Every young preacher needs to get and study this book.

| | PRECIOUS REMEDIES AGAINST SATAN'S DEVICES Thomas Brooks Publisher's Description: 'The strange opposition that I met with from Satan, in the study of the following discourse, hast put an edge upon my spirit, knowing that Satan strives mightily to keep these things from seeing the light that tend eminently to shake and break his kingdom of darkness, and to lift up the kingdom and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the souls and lives of the children of men . . .' This is one of the seven reasons for writing his book which the author, Thomas Brooks, gives in his preface. Among the publishers' reasons for this reprint is the fact, noted by George Smeaton, that eh best Christian authors of former times treated by seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a way 'greatly more full and suggestive than in the literature of the present day'. William Grimshaw, in the eighteenth century, was no the first nor the last to learn this lesson from Brooks' Precious Remedies and our modern age greatly needs the message which is thrust back into prominence in these pages. 253 Pages Order with A DOZEN REFORMED CLASSICS FOR 2010 25% SGCB Price: $7.50 (list price $10.00)Save $2.50 Order with A DOZEN REFORMED CLASSICS FOR 2010 SGCB Price: $79.95 (list price $185.00)57% Discount with Free Shipping to US Address |

| | THOUGHTS ON THE NEW ENGLAND REVIVAL Vindicating the Great Awakening Jonathan Edwards "No one has tasted and tested the experience of revival like Jonathan Edwards. In this book (as everywhere) he navigates biblically between intellectualism and emotionalism, doctrinaire and doctrineless Christianity, paralyzing self-condemnation and arrogant self-exultation, the presumptuous pursuit of revival and indolent passivity. In my experience Edwards is second only to the Bible." - John Piper Some Thoughts on the New England Revival aims to defend an unprecedented period of revival against the unjust words of its critics and the excesses of it friends, both of which, Edwards feared, would quench the Spirit and put a stop to the glorious work. What is a revival? How is it to be recognised? Is it a genuine work of the Spirit of God? If it is, how should it be acknowledged and promoted? These questions are taken up and answered by 'the theologian of revival', who, in God's providence, has supplied future generations of Christians with a sure guide on this vital subject.

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 BOT LQ BANNER STOCK SALE 25% SGCB Price: $22.50 (list price $29.99)Save: $7.49 |

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.

 | | 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 BOT NEW ARRIVALS 25% Off Newest Banner Title SGCB Price: $21.75 (list price $29.00) |

 | | 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. Martin 'Enrichment and enjoyment in equal parts await the student of this excellent book.' (Dr J. I. Packer.) BANNER STOCK SALE 25% SGCB Price: $21.00 (list price $28.00) |

 | | 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. 25% Discount SGCB Price: $15.00 (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 BOT NEW ARRIVALS BANNER STOCK SALE 25% SGCB Price: $21.00 (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. 25% SGCB Price: $12.50 (list price $17.00) |

 | | 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. 25% SGCB Price: $20.25 (list price $27.00) |

 | | 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. 25% SGCB Price: $18.00 (list price $24.00) |

| | 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 25% SGCB Price: $14.25 (list price $19.00) |

| | 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".

| | 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 M. 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 -25% SGCB Price: $20.25 (list price $27.00) |

 | | 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 NEW DIVINITY The Meaning of Sin, Grace, Salvation, & Revival Various Authors The new methods in evangelism which were aggressively promoted by Charles Finney were the logical outworking of the 'New Divinity,' which erred in its views of sin, salvation and sanctification. The Princeton men, including Charles Hodge and Archibald Alexander, were convinced that these new views were merely a return to old errors. A fresh look at what they wrote will help us recover a more biblically based approach to preaching and evangelism today.

 | | 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.

 | | THOUGHTS ON RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE Archibald Alexander On the basis of fifty years as a pastor, preacher, and professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, Archibald Alexander (1772-1851) deals with the subjective work of the Holy Spirit in the heart in all its phases, from the new birth until final preparation for heaven. From his own observations, and from case histories drawn from Christian biography, Alexander follows his subject with the hand of a master. He was, in Dr. Thedore Woolsey's words, "The Shakespeare of the Christian heart." This is a lucid and fascinating volume almost alone in the field which it covers.

 | | PREACHERS OF SCOTLAND William Blaikie "A valuable volume. The lectures before us are an able tribute to those who in Scottish pulpits served, not only Scotland, but all our LordÆs Kingdom on earth" (C H Spurgeon). The history of the Scottish pulpit has many lessons for modern preachers, and Professor Blaikie wisely points them out. Perhaps none is more clear than this: that the gospel of Jesus Christ meets the needs of every age. 25% SGCB Price: $16.50 (list price $21.99) |
