 click for details | | ENCOURAGEMENT: Adrenaline for the Soul Mark Chanski In a crisis, the body’s burst of adrenaline can boost the average person’s physical abilities, so that a man is able to lift a car off a trapped bicyclist and a mother can fight off a polar bear threatening her son. Author Mark Chanski makes the case that encouragement is able to do emotionally and psychologically for the soul what adrenaline does for the body. While Christians are sometimes reluctant to offer encouragement, we must do so in order to love our neighbors as ourselves. Building on the foundation of the gospel as the ultimate encouragement from God, the author—using quotations, historical references, illustrations, and examples—sets forth the Christian’s obligation to offer encouragement and then shows us how we can be encouraging in our families, in our churches, and in the world. ENDORSEMENTS “Encouragement—we all need it! And yet Christians are often painfully slow in giving it to each other for a variety of reasons. In this gripping and arresting book, Pastor Mark Chanski provides for us a resounding, irrefutable case for encouraging one another in the Lord Jesus Christ. He buttresses his case with numerous scriptural and practical examples that cascade on us until we are absolutely persuaded that we ought to be encouraging others much more than we are prone to do. The author himself has been such a Barnabas friend (an ‘encourager’) to me for many years, so I know that he models what he writes! You don’t have to agree with every point the author makes to have your life transformed into being a Barnabas—an ‘encourager’—after reading this book. I challenge you to read it and then go out to encourage others as Jesus and the biblical saints as well as great stalwarts in church history commonly did.” —Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan “We all thrive on encouragement, and at some point or other we’ve all wished we were more encouraged. Many of us have relationships with people whom we wish we could encourage more effectively. Chanski’s book dives deep into the topic of encouragement and shows us how and why God has designed us to thrive on this ‘adrenaline for the soul.’ Parents, friends, siblings, coworkers—everybody will find tremendous resources for their own hearts and their relationships in this book. You’ll see from Scripture and experience how the words we use to build each other up can impact both somebody’s day and even a lifetime.” —Gloria Furman, author of Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full “We all can do with a good dose of encouragement. In this book Mark Chanski unpacks biblical teaching on this vital subject. He then applies it with the precision of a skilled physician to our present-day struggles using real-life examples. The comprehensiveness of this book is breathtaking! Are you discouraged? Read this book and let God’s love in Christ warm your heart with revitalizing truths. And as your soul experiences buoyancy again, remember to be an affirming companion to others—as this book so eloquently urges us.” —Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church, Lusaka, Zambia “Want to learn how to be like God? Then learn how to be an encourager. With God’s blessing, this wonderful book will not only transform your view of God but it will transform you into His likeness and transform your relationships with others. Practical theology at its best!” —David Murray, professor of Old Testament and practical theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary “What would it be like if we woke up each day and prayed, ‘Lord, help me be an encouragement to someone today’? It would be transformative, enabling us to serve others well rather than serve ourselves. Mark Chanski’s book Encouragement: Adrenaline for the Soul is a clarion call to do just that.” —Derek W.H. Thomas, senior minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina “Our Lord and His apostles were at pains to motivate their friends by great positive encouragement, and it is this rich seam that Mark Chanski mines in this important book. One prominent feature of vibrant contemporary congregations is that they are fellowships of encouragement, and one means of attaining this blessing will be the thoughtful study of this book.” — Geoff Thomas, pastor for fifty years of Alfred Place Baptist Church, Aberystwyth, Wales MARK CHANSKI has labored as a full-time pastor since 1986 in churches in Ohio and Michigan. He has been Pastor of Harbor Reformed Baptist Church in Holland, Michigan since 1994. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from Cornerstone University, and a Master of Divinity degree from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. He teaches Hermeneutics for the Reformed Baptist Seminary in Sacramento, CA. Mark is married to his wife Dianne, and has four sons and one daughter (born 1983 to 1994).

 click for details | | TRAPP'S CLASSIC COMMENTARY ON THE OLD & NEW TESTAMENTS (5 VOLUME SET) John Trapp In his opening lecture to "Commenting & Commentaries" Charles Haddon Spurgeon wrote the following about this set of Commentaries: "Would it be possible to eulogise too much the incomparably sententious and suggestive folios of JOHN TRAPP? Trapp will be most valuable to men of discernment, to thoughtful men, to men who only want a start in a line of thought, and are then able to run alone. Trapp excels in witty stories on the one hand, and learned allusions on the other. You will not thoroughly enjoy him unless you can turn to the original, and yet a mere dunce at classics will prize him. His writings remind me of himself: he was a pastor, hence his holy practical remarks; he was the head of a public school, and everywhere we see his profound scholarship; he was for some time amid the guns and drums of a parliamentary garrison, and he gossips and tells queer anecdotes like a man used to a soldier's life; yet withal, he comments as if he had been nothing else but a commentator all his days. Trapp is my especial companion and treasure; I can read him when I am too weary for anything else. Trapp is salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar, and all the other condiments. Put him on the table when you study, and when you have your dish ready, use him by way of spicing the whole thing. Yes, gentlemen, read Trapp certainly, and if you catch the infection of his consecrated humor, so much the better for your hearers." John Trapp’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, a classic Puritan exposition of Scripture, combines explanation of the text, articulation of doctrine, discussions of controversies, and clarification of cases of conscience. Full of colorful paraphrases and captivating illustrations, Trapp’s pithy style makes him highly quotable and a handy resource preachers. As a bonus, this set contains four practical books by Trapp that are appended to various volumes: God’s Love-Tokens and The Afflicted Man’s Lessons The Righteous Man’s Recompense Theologia Theologiae: The True Treasure; or, a Treasury of Holy Truths Touching God’s Word and God of the Word Mellificium Theologicum: The Marrow of Many Good Authors TABLE OF CONTENTS Volume 1 (768 pages) = Genesis to 2 Chronicles Volume 2 (776 pages) = Ezra to Psalms + God’s Love-Tokens and The Afflicted Man’s Lessons Volume 3 (720 pages) = Proverbs to Daniel Volume 4 (784 pages) = Hosea to Malachi + The Righteous Man’s Recompense + Theologia Theologiae: The True Treasure; or, a Treasury of Holy Truths touching God’s Word and God of the Word Volume 5 (864 pages) = Matthew to Revelation (864 pages) + Mellificium Theologicum: The Marrow of Many Good Authors "John Trapp's (1601-1669) New Testament commentary is an old Puritan classic, often reprinted, and packed with colorful paraphrases and captivating illustrations. It is soundly Reformed and always worth consulting in conjunction with other commentaries." - Joel R.

Hopefully, those who begin this Christmas using this excellent resource will continue gathering daily at the family altar throughout the coming year." - David W. Bailey, Ph.D., Author - Speaking the Truth in Love: The Life and Legacy of Roger Nicole "Ray Rhodes has written a wonderfully creative book on family worship for the Christmas season. For a father or mother to take their children through these precious truths would create a fond memory that the children would have for the rest of their life. The book is doctrinally sound, well written, and greatly honoring to our Lord. I'm going to order three copies right now!" - Martha Peace, Biblical Counselor and author of 'The Excellent Wife' "The Christmas season is a great time for daily family worship. If you've never enjoyed family worship on a consistent basis, there's no better time to start. Whether your family already enjoys the biblical and historic Christian practice of family worship or you're just beginning, consider using Ray Rhodes' engaging Family Worship for the Christmas Season this December." - Dr. Donald S. Whitney , author of "Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life' and 'Family Worship: In the Bible, in History, and in Your Home.' "Author and speaker Ray Rhodes gives parents some expert help with these insightful and truth-filled devotional exercises for family worship during the Christmas season. Make December different this year by trying them out with your family. This book can make a significant difference in your family's understanding of the incarnation." - Jim Elliff, Christian Communicators Worldwide "It is rare to find solid Family Worship resources in our day, let alone one for the advent season. Ray Rhodes has provided an outstanding tool for busy fathers during this opportune time of year. May God powerfully use it in the godly instruction of our families and for the generations to come!" - Pastor Jerry Marcellino, author of 'Rediscovering the Lost Treasure of Family Worship' "The Incarnation of Jesus Christ is one of the most important events in the history of the world. Too many years families get so tangled in the trappings of Christmas, however, that they miss its true wonder. Ray Rhodes has written a wonderful book that elegantly encourages and practically helps families draw near to each another as they draw near to the Lord in celebrating his birth. I highly recommend it." - John Crotts, pastor and author of 'Mighty Men: the Starter's Guide to Leading Your Family', 'Craftsmen: Christ-centered Proverbs for Men', and co-author with Martha Peace of 'Tying the Knot Tighter'.

 | | JONATHAN EDWARDS ON TRUE CHRISTIANITY Owen Strachan and Doug Sweeney with Introduction by John Piper What is a true Christian? What is the church? Though these are fundamental questions they often go unanswered in our current evangelical context. Far too many pastors and thinkers celebrate the trappings of faith and the mere benefits of Christianity, ignoring the biblical testimony on true conversion that shouts from countless texts from Scripture. This has fed an age-old problem: nominal Christianity. Though Edwards is sometimes presented as a scourge, a mean-hearted parson who lived to belt out thunderous damnations, a careful study of the historical record and of Edwards' writings shows that he was in fact a Christian man devoted to the cultivation of true and saving faith in a spiritually fickle people he tenaciously loved. The problem of noncommittal Christianity did not end with Edwards. It not only survives but thrives in the current day. In studying it then, we are studying ourselves. We see that nominal Christianity, a considerable challenge today, has historic roots. We need not face this problem alone, growing more discouraged by the day, flailing as we try method after method to address the problem. Instead, we can find solace, instruction, and encouragement from the biblically saturated life and ministry of Jonathan Edwards. Easily accessible and readable, you do not need to be a scholar to enjoy these insights about Jonathan Edwards and his writings. A great resource! Edwards continues to speak, and this series of books is an excellent means to hear Jonathan Edwards again live and clear. Pure gold; be wise and invest in it! - Josh Moody, Senior Pastor, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois These primers on Jonathan Edward's life and thought - his passion for God - provide an excellent glimpse into a life lived unto God. And they help the rest of us slake our thirst for the majesty of our Savior. We owe a great debt to Owen Strachan and Douglas Sweeney for making Edwards and his vision of God so accessible to the rest of us thirsty pilgrims. - Thabiti Anyabwile, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands Everyone says Jonathan Edwards is important. Quite frankly, however, his writing style is pretty dense by contemporary standards, so few pastors and other Christian leaders have invested much time reading him. This new series tackles the problem. Here is the kernel of much of Edwards's thought in eminently accessible form. - D.A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School In The Essential Edwards Collection, Owen Strachan and Doug Sweeney point with knowledge and excitement to clear and searching sections that illuminate God's truth and search our hearts. In this collection, Edwards is introduced to a new generation of readers. His concerns are made our concerns. This is a worthy effort and I pray that God will bless it. - Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC. SGCB Price: $5.75 (list price $10.00) |

| | GOOD NEWS AT ROCK BOTTOM: Finding God When the Pain Goes Deep and Hope Seems Lost RAY ORTLUND Meeting the Man of Sorrows Where We Need Him Most We all long for a life worth living. So when we receive news of a frightening diagnosis, suffer heartbreaking loss in our family life, or get trapped in a cycle of our own sin, we might wonder about God. Where is he when we need him most? With wisdom from Isaiah 57:15, Good News at Rock Bottom helps readers discover that Jesus is hard to find in the comfortable lives we prefer. Instead, he meets us at rock bottom—where he is waiting for us with open arms. With grace and empathy, author Ray Ortlund opens a door for readers to go deeper with God and get closer to faithful friends when life is hard to bear. You will discover that, at rock bottom, Jesus is more satisfying than any comfortable life without him. FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE "Thank you for picking up this book. My plan here is to ask of you as little as I can and to give to you as much as I can. You have a busy life to live. But right now, while we are together, literally on the same page, let’s make the most of it. Here is what I promise you: I will try to explain the gospel of Jesus honestly and helpfully for your needs. I will not lie to you. And I will try to believe the gospel honestly and helpfully for my own needs. Here is what I ask of you: Give Jesus a chance. Allow for the possibility that the good news about him is relevant to what you really, really care about—maybe more relevant than you have ever dared to believe. So, my honest thoughts, with your courageous openness—let’s see what happens. This book began as a series of talks on Wednesday evenings at Immanuel Church, Nashville, in September 2023. Immanuel is a church where people can heal. It’s where I healed—and I was the pastor! So I wanted those talks to serve that gentle purpose. But still, I was surprised at the people’s response. Something special was happening there in that room, and it was not me. It was more than all of us put together. It was the Lord himself, with the healing touch only he can bring. Now I hope this book brings some of that healing to you too, by his grace, wherever you are, whatever you’re facing. And I wish I could give you a hug right now." Table of Contents Preface (see above) Chapter 1: Way Up High, Way Down Low Chapter 2: Betrayed Chapter 3: Trapped Chapter 4: Lonely Chapter 5: Dying Conclusion Acknowledgments General Index Scripture Index ENDORSEMENTS “I know pain, inside and out. I live intimately with its brutal assault, and at times it almost convinces me that all hope is lost. That’s when I reach out for the kind of rock-solid hope that is able to survive the worst of times. Honestly, it’s there. It’s available. And it’s meant for you. Ray Ortlund tenderly explains how to find and embrace it in his excellent book Good News at Rock Bottom. I love Ray’s style of writing—always accessible, believable, and gentle on the heart. The book you hold in your hands is extraordinary, and I envision that, by the last page, you will find the hope-filled release and relief you are yearning for.” -Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder and CEO, Joni and Friends International Disability Center “Simeon had been waiting for the consolation of Israel, but what he found was Jesus (Luke 2:25), and that consolation from Christ soaks every page of this book. With understanding and tenderness, Ray Ortlund draws us back again and again to the all-sufficiency and matchless compassion of Christ. This is pastoral theology at its best—real, biblical, and deeply comforting.” -Sam Allberry, Associate Pastor, Immanuel Nashville, Tennessee; author, One with My Lord “Ray Ortlund writes these words as a friend in the trenches with you, desperately needing God to be who he says he is in Isaiah 57:15. The night before I read this book, I was kept awake by loneliness, guilt, shame, and fear. The night after I read this, I was kept awake by the impossibility of processing how much God loves me. Good News at Rock Bottom was a love letter directly from God to me, through Ray. Trust me, read this! I’m already reading it again, with my wife and kids!” -Walker Hayes, singer; songwriter “This gospel-saturated book has been so encouraging to me! I found myself nodding on every page as Ray Ortlund describes the pain of betrayal, the isolation of loneliness, the separation of sin, and the beautiful way God draws near to the brokenhearted. Ortlund underscores and illuminates this stunning truth: When we reach rock bottom, we find God is closer than we ever imagined and better than we ever dreamed. I highly recommend this book!” -Vaneetha Rendall Risner, author, Watching for the Morning BOT50 12/10/25 CW60 BRAND NEW TITLE FROM MARCH 2025 SGCB Price: $8.50 (list price $17.00) |

 click for details | | THE STORY-CHANGER: How God Rewrites Our Story by Inviting Us into His DAVID MURRAY How Jesus Changes Our Story with His Story Each person’s life tells a story. These stories have happy chapters, sad chapters, boring chapters, and exciting chapters. Some people seem to author their own stories, while others have the pens snatched from their hands. Some stories feel hopeless. Can our stories ever be rewritten? Will they have a happy ending? David Murray introduces readers to the StoryChanger, Jesus Christ—the only one who can rewrite human stories with his better Story. Both Christians and non-Christians will discover how God's Story can transform their own messy stories into stories worth telling. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1: Our Messy Stories Chapter 2: The First Story Chapter 3: The Story-Shredder Chapter 4: The Failed Authors Chapter 5: The StoryChanger Chapter 6: The New Story Chapter 7: The Endorsements Chapter 8: The Inside Story Chapter 9: The Book Club Chapter 10: The Storytellers The End Scripture Index **Brief and Accessible: Easy to recommend to both non-Christians and new Christians **Biblical: Tells the first story of God’s good and beautiful creation, how sin and Satan—the StoryShredder—ruined human stories, and how Jesus rewrites and redeems those stories. **Personal: Shares Murray’s testimony of how God changed his story and points readers toward specific ways Jesus can change their stories as well **For Individual or Group Study: Includes questions for further reflection or discussion at the end of each chapter ENDORSEMENTS “Is it up to me to craft my life story? Is there a greater power that has determined my story that leaves me with no control over it? Is it possible that the story of my life could take a dramatic turn in another direction? These are the kinds of questions David Murray addresses in this inviting book, which serves as an invitation to discover all that we were created to be in the context of a far greater story.” -Nancy Guthrie, author, Even Better than Eden “The StoryChanger is a book about three characters and their stories. The first is a Scotsman named David Murray. I have known him for years, but until reading these pages I had no idea how his story was changed. The second character is anyone who picks up this book, reads it, and discovers how helpful it is to understand the story of their life written thus far. And the third character? Well, he’s the StoryChanger—who is pretty aptly named. But I should leave it to David Murray to introduce you to him.” -Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries “Are you trying to make sense of your life or the lives around you? Are you looking for purpose? What matters? What matters the most? David Murray’s The StoryChanger will give you answers and might even change your story. He writes as a man who understands people, but even more importantly, who understands God. Prepare to be encouraged and to see your life as part of a much grander and more important story than you can imagine.” -Jason Helopoulos, Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church; author, The Promise: The Amazing Story of Our Long-Awaited Savior “David Murray has given us a practical, accessible, and personal guide to show us how the Bible’s big story transforms the stories of our lives. Jesus alone can change our stories—moving us from sadness to satisfaction, from loneliness to belonging, and from despair to hope. What a relief to know that we’re part of a bigger story and that there’s hope for us even after we’ve made a mess of life. I’m eager to see how this book will transform many people by introducing them to the divine author and StoryChanger we all need." -Drew Hunter, Teaching Pastor, Zionsville Fellowship, Zionsville, Indiana; author, Made for Friendship “Can the story of my life be rewritten? If you or a friend is feeling trapped in a story that seems messy and meaningless, let David Murray introduce you to the StoryChanger who is rewriting the story of David’s life and can do the same for you.” -David Sunday, President, WordPartners; Teaching Pastor, New Covenant Bible Church, Saint Charles, Illinois David Murray (PhD, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) is the senior pastor of First Byron Christian Reformed Church in Byron Center, Michigan. He is also a counselor, a regular speaker at conferences, and the author of Reset and Exploring the Bible. David has taught Old Testament, counseling, and pastoral theology at various seminaries.

 click for details | | THE FIVE POINTS OF AMILLENIALISM JEFFREY JOHNSON Simple, Succinct and Scriptural Presentation of the End Times Amillennialism is not hard to understand. You don't need a chart to direct you through a complex maze of proof texts. To understand amillennialism, all you need to know are five simple points. TABLE OF CONTENTS The Redemptive-Historical Hermeneutic Believers Are the Children of Abraham The Church Is the Davidic Kingdom The New Earth Is the Promised Land The Finality of the Second Coming ENDORSEMENTS "Jeffrey Johnson helps us to step back and see the big picture that the Bible paints of God’s plan for human history. As a result, we can see clearly that God fulfills his promises to Abraham, Israel, and David in his blessings upon Jesus Christ and the people in union with Him—Jew or Gentile, now and forever. That is what amillennialism teaches. And when you see the big picture, it is much easier to fit the individual pieces into place." — Joel R. Beeke "Jeffrey Johnson has provided an outstanding introduction to biblical eschatology. The Five Points of Amillennialismis a solid, biblical-theological treatment of the major themes of eschatology. Personally, I will use this very readable book as a tool to introduce people to a biblical eschatology that exalts the resurrected and reigning King, Jesus Christ." — Brian Borgman "One of the reasons believers disagree over eschatology is because this doctrine involves numerous complex texts and hermeneutical questions. In this excellent short book, Jeff Johnson untangles five of the toughest matters to sort out. He writes with grace and ease, but the reader will note that his clear prose proceeds from deep thinking about some of Scripture's toughest passages. We're seeing rising interest in amillennial theology in our time, and this book will help quench such an evident thirst for clarity, rigor, and depth of thought." — Owen Strachan "Jeffrey Johnson delivers what he promises: a readable introduction on the core of amillennialism without a thousand rabbit trails distracting! His sharp pastoral eye has peered deeply into the soul of our wider Christian community. With a keen theological mind, he has zeroed in on five key principles that clearly guide through the confusing End Times maze in which many are trapped... Jeffrey Johnson has rung the bell with this fine work!" — Duncan Rankin fpofa TT3 pbs jjsj bist fgpn 41822 23AM clj THIS IS A BRAND NEW TITLE SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $15.00) |

 click for details | | GOOD, BETTER, BEST The Three Ways of Making a Happy World Classic Treatment of a Christian's Duty to the Poor James W. Alexander with Introductory Note by Robert S. Candlish This book presents J.W. Alexander's apologetic for the only proper way for the Christian to make a lasting impact upon the world around, especially those trapped in poverty and ignorance. He does this by telling a story of Herbert and Edith Lee, a brother and sister in the early 20's who have come to saving faith in Christ and who desire to do good to those in great need. Herbert and Edith have come to live with their godly and wise uncle Dr. Lee, who is intent upon these sincere converts learning "by experience" the three ways of making a happy world. These may be classed under three heads: Good - Better - Best. The story is filled with wisdom as Herbert and Edith learn, often the hard way, that their uncle is right. You will follow them into the hovels of drunkards and gamblers and watch them as they seek to do good in the name of the Lord. Anyone who desires to follow the admonition of Hebrews 13:16 will want to read this book. Anyone who desires to practice true religion as defined by James in James 1:27 will desire to read this book. Anyone who desires to follow the counsel of the aposles in Galatians 2:10, or the words of our Lord as reported by Paul in Acts 20:35 will want to get and read this book. How do we reach out to the poor and homeless around us all? What is the very best way to do them good that will last beyond the moment? These questions and many more are all answered in GOOD - BETTER - BEST, a new-old title by the gifted and godly J.W. Alexander.
