 | | THE GOSPEL'S POWER & MESSAGE: Recovering the Gospel: Volume One PAUL WASHER Publisher's Description: One of the greatest crimes of this generation of Christians is our neglect of the gospel, and it is from this neglect that all our other maladies spring forth. Absent from too many pulpits are the essential themes that make up the very core of the gospel-the justice of God, the radical depravity of man, and the blood atonement. In The GospelĘs Power and Message, Paul Washer addresses these essential elements of ChristĘs good news and provides a guide to help us rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power. May such a rediscovery transform your life, strengthen your proclamation, and bring the greatest glory to God. Endorsements: "In these days of insipid, man-centered, ear-tickling preaching, we need Sons of Thunder who fear God and faithfully preach His Word without fear of consequences. My friend Paul Washer is one such man. May God use this book to reach the lost and to glorify His name." - Ray Comfort, author of Hell's Best Kept Secret and The Way of the Master "In The Gospel's Power and Message, Paul Washer unwraps the gospel and displays its various facets in all their vivid glory. This book is a thoughtful, poignant reminder that the message Christ commissioned us to proclaim is neither spongy nor trivial. Nor can it be improved by human revision. The gospel may be a stumbling block to some and seem like foolishness to others - but to those who are called, it is the power and the wisdom of God." -Phil Johnson, executive director of Grace to You "I am profoundly thankful for the courageous clarity of The Gospel's Power and Message by Paul Washer. Christians today seem to have the false impression that the gospel is all about us - a wonderful plan for our lives; a means of finding peace, joy, or personal fulfillment; the way to get to heaven. Those blessings (and many more) are aspects of every true gospel-believer's birthright, of course. But they are not the point or the main objective of the message. The gospel is about God and His eternal glory. That is where it starts, and that is where it takes us in the end. Preached rightly, the gospel convicts and humbles every human heart. It underscores the exceeding sinfulness of our sin. It rebukes even our most laudable works of righteousness. The gospel is simple enough for a child to grasp, but its truths are inexhaustible. In short, the gospel is the best of all good news and the most important message anyone has ever proclaimed. Paul Washer strikes all the right notes in this powerful, biblical study." -John MacArthur, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, and author of The Gospel According to Jesus Contents: Preface PART ONE: An Apostolic Introduction 1.

| | THE GOSPEL CALL AND TRUE CONVERSION: Recovering the Gospel: Volume Two PAUL WASHER The apostle Paul gave the gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the gospel message to a few trite statements to be repeated, and view conversion as a mere human decision. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion, Paul Washer challenges such easy believism as he examines the real meaning of things like faith, repentance, and receiving Christ. He also deals extensively with the effects of saving grace that God promises in the new covenant; namely, the creation of new hearts and new people. Table of Contents: Series Preface PART ONE: The Gospel Call 1.A Call to Repentance 2.A Call to Faith 3.Believe and Confess 4.Receiving Christ 5.Christ at Heart's Door PART TWO: New Hearts and the Nature of True Conversion 1.The Great Motive and End of Salvation 2.The Author of Salvation 3.Separation and Cleansing 4.A New Heart 5.The Effectual Spirit PART THREE: New People and the Nature of True Conversion 1.The Glory of the New Covenant 2.The Making of New People 3.The ChristianĘs Sure Knowledge of God 4.The Heart and Way of God's People 5.The Everlasting Covenant 6.God's Goodness to His People Series Descriptions Although the Recovering the Gospel Series does not represent an entirely systematic presentation of the gospel, it does address most of the essential elements, especially those that are most neglected in contemporary Christianity. It is the hope of the author that these words might be a guide to help you rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power. It is his prayer that such a rediscovery might transform your life, strengthen your proclamation, and bring the greatest glory to God. Author Paul Washer ministered as a missionary in Peru for ten years, during which time he founded the HeartCry Missionary Society to support Peruvian church planters. Paul now serves as one of the laborers with the HeartCry Missionary Society (www.heartcrymissionary.com). He and his wife, Charo, have three children: Ian, Evan, and Rowan. Endorsements: "In an age awash with easy believism, we need voices like Paul Washer's that remind us of The Gospel Call and True Conversion. We are all tempted to believe that we are 'beyond the basics' and in need of something more - something new. However, Washer reminds us that there is nothing more important and more relevant than getting the gospel right, making the gospel clear, and trusting that gospel to do its work of calling, saving, and securing a people to God and for God. Praise God for the gospel and books like this that help us know, understand, and love it more deeply." - Voddie Baucham, pastor of preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, Texas, and author of The Ever-Loving Truth "Being a Christian is not just a matter of 'making a decision for Jesus' or 'turning over a new leaf.' It is a miracle of grace in which a sinner is brought by God's power from death to life. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion, Paul Washer brilliantly and clearly helps the reader understand that truth, carefully opening the Scriptures and explaining how the power of the gospel ought to impact our lives as Christians. A much-needed, pastoral, and challenging book!" - Greg Gilbert, senior pastor of Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and author of What Is the Gospel? "By God's sovereign grace, Paul Washer's ministry has been particularly blessed to instruct this generation in the basics of true conversion and the gospel call. I highly commend this careful but simple treatment of these vital issues. May God bless it to the preparation of His people to share the gospel of peace and to the salvation of many persons." - Sam Waldron, academic dean and professor of systematic theology at the Midwest Center for Theological Studies, Owensboro, Kentucky RHB PW TG16 NOW AVAILABLE - 40% DISCCOUNT SGCB Price: $12.00 (list price $20.00)Order All Three RECOVERING THE GOSPEL Titles SGCB Price: $32.00 (list price $60.00)47% DISCOUNT WHEN ORDERING ALL THREE TITLES |

| | GOSPEL ASSURANCE & WARNINGS: Recovering the Gospel: Volume 3 PAUL WASHER TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface PART ONE: Biblical Assurance 1. False Assurance 2. Examine Yourself 3. Walking in God's Revelation 4. Confessing Sin 5. Keeping God's Commandments 6. Imitating Christ 7. Loving Christians 8. Rejecting the World 9. Remaining in the Church 10. Confessing Christ 11. Purifying Self 12. Practicing Righteousness 13. Overcoming the World 14. Believing in Jesus PART TWO: Gospel Warnings, or Warnings to Empty Confessors 15. Gospel Reductionism 16. The Small Gate 17. The Narrow Way 18. The Outward Evidence of an Inward Reality 19. The Dangers of an Empty Confession Endorsements: "Few things are more important than the question of the assurance of our salvation. The dangers of false assurance are obvious, and Scripture warns us that the number of falsely assured in churches is legion. The tragedy of the 'unnecessarily troubled' is that they never gain the footing that produces the fruit of the Spirit and compels great acts of obedience. Just as I would want my children to know for certain they are mine, God wants His children to know that they are His. Washer has provided a great and thorough resource for those wanting to plumb the depths of the question 'Am I really saved?' and to teach it to others. This book is loaded with scriptural analysis and pastoral advice. It is a necessary book for the library of anyone entrusted with the care of souls." -J. D. Grear, PhD, author of Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart: How to Know for Sure You Are Saved and Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary "Paul Washer has given us a tremendously helpful tool to seek solid assurance that we are saved from sin by God's grace. The Word of God is like a mirror for self-examination. The Epistle of First John particularly helps us examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. Washer applies 1 John in a masterful way to this question, explaining a dozen marks of saving grace in the soul. At the same time, this book does not encourage us to rest on our past experiences but to press forward in spiritual growth in dependence upon the Spirit of Christ. Here is sweet help for God's children struggling to enjoy assurance of their Father's forgiveness and acceptance. And here is a sober warning to the self-deceived. May God use this book for His glory to the comfort of His people and the conversion of lost sinners." - Joel R.
