 | | CULTIVATING BIBLICAL GODLINESS SERIES Joel Beeke, Ryan McGraw, Maurice Roberts, Geoff Thomas & Ian Hamilton Cultivating Biblical Godliness Series - ELEVEN LIFE-CHANGING BOOKLETS D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said, "The world today is looking for, and desperately needs, true Christians. I am never tired of saying that what the Church needs to do is not to organize evangelistic campaigns and attract outside people, but to begin herself to live the Christian life. If she did that, men and women would be crowding into our buildings. They would say, 'What is the secret of this?'" Many people who are new to the church need instruction in the most basic aspects of godly living. Even where churches are engaged heavily in discipleship, visitors and members often have gaps in their understanding and practice. One of the greatest needs of our time is for the Spirit of God to cultivate biblical godliness in us in order to put the glory of Christ on display through us, all to the glory of God the Father. For these reasons, Joel Beeke and Ryan McGraw are coediting a series of booklets titled Cultivating Biblical Godliness. These booklets treat matters that are vital to Christian experience, and each contribution aims to address a wide variety of people and circumstances at a fundamental and introductory level. This includes teaching people what to believe in order to practice personal holiness as well as specific directions on how to cultivate biblical godliness in relation to issues that are common to GodÆs people. The distinctive feature of this series is its experiential tone. While some booklet series aim to enlighten the mind, these booklets aim to warm the affections as well. The goal is to promote communion with the triune God and to transform the entire person in thought, speech, and behavior. To this end, we intend to include a wide range of authors whom the Spirit has blessed to skillfully stir up the church to personal holiness and affection to Christ through their preaching and writing ministries. We need a Christianity that puts the transformative power of God in the gospel on display through developing a communion with God that is visible to the world. Our prayer is that through this series, the Lord would revive His church by producing Christians who are full of love for Christ, who deny themselves in order to follow Him at great personal cost, and who know the joys of walking with the triune God. This is the kind of Christianity that we need. This is the kind of Christianity that the triune God has used to turn the world upside down. May He be pleased to do so again. Series Editors Joel R.

 click for details | | A DIVINE TAPESTRY: Summaries and Memory Verses from Every Chapter of Scripture RYAN McGRAW Ryan McGraw helps readers become more familiar with the storyline of the Bible, through summarizing the content of every chapter in Scripture, and by singling out key verses. The summaries indicate what happens and why in each chapter, paving the way for letting the Bible tell its own story in its own words. SAMPLES FROM THE BOOK Ezekiel God removes His covenant presence from His people, dwelling with the exiles instead, and promises to restore His presence permanently by sending the Spirit under the new covenant CHAPTER 1- Ezekiel Sees God on His Chariot, Introducing the Main Themes of his Vision ‘And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and heard a voice of One speaking.’ Ezek. 1:26-28. CHAPTER 2- The Lord Sends Ezekiel to Prophesy Whether the People Hear or Refuse, Commanding Ezekiel to Eat the Scroll as a Symbol of Assimilating God’s Word into his Life and Ministry ‘You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you. Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.’ Ezek. 2:7-10. CHAPTER 3- The Spirit of God Shows Ezekiel the Glory of the Lord in the Temple, Giving him the Terms of his Prophetic Ministry ‘Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.’ Ezek. 3:21. CHAPTER 4- Ezekiel Portrays the Siege of Jerusalem Personally, Cooking his Bread Over Cow Dung ‘Then the LORD said, “So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”’ Ezek. 4:13. CHAPTER 5- Ezekiel Shaves his Head, Sending his Hair in Thirds to the Sword, Famine, and Pestilence, Saving a Few Hairs in his Belt to Symbolize the Remnant that God Will Save ‘Thus shall My anger be spent, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be avenged; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.’ Ezek. 5:13. "There is no book more important to read than the Bible, and there is hardly a book more intimidating to read than the Bible. We may be thankful to Ryan McGraw for producing such a practical and user–friendly help to the study of Scripture." -Guy Prentiss Waters, James M. Baird, Jr. Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi "Keep The Divine Tapestry at hand when you open your Bible and you will be better equipped to grasp God’s truth and live in its light." -David Strain, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi "Not only does he provide a treasury of Scripture verses ripe for memorization but he summarizes each chapter of the Bible so we can see the scope of the whole of Scripture, which is to give all glory to God, by which we can behold the many incomparable excellencies of the mercies of our triune God." -J. V. Fesko, Harriet Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi "… skillfully demonstrates the woven thread of God’s providential workings through His covenant people.

| | TWO NEW RHB BOOKLETS IN CULTIVATING BIBLICAL GODLINESS SERIES Earl Blackburn & Ray Penning WE ARE NOW OFFERING TWO BRAND NEW BOOKLETS IN THE OUTSTANDING 'CULTIVATING BIBLICAL GODLINESS' SERIES BY RHB HOW CAN I HONOR CHRIST IN FIGHTING CANCER? By Earl Blackburn Almost everyone diagnosed with cancer will endeavor to fight it. As a cancer survivor, Earl Blackburn encourages everyone diagnosed with cancer to fight it. Although he thinks medical treatment is important, the fight he is primarily interested in is spiritual. In How Can I Honor Christ in Fighting Cancer?, Blackburn shows how this spiritual fight, conducted in a manner that honors Christ the Creator and Lord, will aid the cancer patient's medical fight tremendously. Through Blackburn's experience, a series of practical lessons derived from it, and from Scripture, you can better understand what a godly fight against cancer looks like. "Most of us either have had cancer or have had a close family member or friend who was diagnosed with cancer. In light of this, Christians need to be prepared to face cancer and to cope in a biblical manner. Pastor Blackburn's book is a useful pastoral tool to help us chart these waters. If you have cancer or the opportunity to minister to someone who does, this book is an invaluable resource." - Joseph A. Pipa Jr., president, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary HOW CAN I SERVE GOD AT WORK by Ray Penning Inundated as we are with secular distortions regarding how to think about our work lives, we need to remind ourselves of basic scriptural truths in order to think clearly about the subject. In How Can I Serve God at Work?, Ray Pennings unpacks ten biblical principles that will help believers cultivate everyday godliness in a twenty-first-century North American context. Pennings also discusses how a biblical view of vocation contrasts with a secular one and how this might make a difference as we head to work in the morning. Armed with a proper theology of work, readers will be better equipped to serve and glorify God in things that are sometimes considered less spiritual. "Practical godliness begins when we see the relevance, beauty, and provision of God for all our thoughts, words, acts, and circumstances. Ray Pennings helpfully teaches Christians how to notice the relevance, beauty, and provision of God for the work He calls us to do. This booklet can help Christians young and old to discover and rediscover a biblical vision of work." - Eric Moerdyk, pastor, Bethel Free Reformed Congregation, Monarch, Alberta hb2 e.mb HOW CAN I HONOR CHRIST IN FIGHTING CANCER?
