 | | THE GREAT INVITATION: Examining the Use of the Altar Call in Evangelism Erroll Hulse "The notion that sinners can secure their own salvation by a 'decision' is fraught with all kinds of theological mischief. It has reduced faith to bare intellectual assent, populated the church with people who have never even been convicted about their sin, and made public invitations into the same kind of sacramental indulgences the original Protestants repudiated. Erroll Hulse has given us a thorough biblical answer to this error and I'm glad to see it back in print." - Pastor John MacArthur "Erroll Hulse's classic work is a biblical and balanced answer to modern decisionalism. Hulse shows from Scripture that there is a legitimate place for the ambassador of Christ to exhort sinners to be reconciled to God, to reason passionately with them from Scripture, to invite them to drink freely of the water of life, and to plead with them and beseech them to turn to the Savior. But he also stresses that regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit to produce faith in the sinner, not a result of the sinner's independent 'decision.' The two ideas are perfectly harmonious, because our passionate preaching is the means by which God sovereignly and effectually calls the elect to himself." --Phil Johnson, Executive Director of 'Grace to You' "Authored with a kind and gracious tone, this work nevertheless attempts to tackle the insidious 'easy-believism' of our day, and it is my opinion that he does so very effectively." --Lance Quinn TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Endorsements Preface to the 2006 Edition by Audubon Press Preface to the 1986 Edition by Evangelical Press 1.

 | | THE BELIEVER'S EXPERENCE: Maintaining the Scriptural Balance between Experience and Truth Erroll Hulse WARREN WIERSBE said the following about this book: "Erroll Hulse is careful to balance Biblical teaching and practical experience...In this day of excess and confusion, this kind of study is desperately needed...I believe that the author has been honest and gracious toward those who would not hold to his doctrinal position...I find it to be a balanced, wholesome, and satisfying treatment of the subject." JOEL BEEKE added the following: "'The Believer's Experience' presents a clear biblical treatment of Christian experience and a helpful refutation of charismatic emphasis on experience. It is more needed today than when it was originally published. The chapters on experiencing justifying joy, adoptive love, patience in affliction, the baptism of the Spirit, and communion with Christ, are an outstanding treatment suitable both for beginners in grace and mature saints. Use Hulse's sterling expose of experiential religion to gain clarity about your own spiritual experience and to stimulate growth in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus."

Alexander by John Hall "Eldest son of Archibald Alexander (the first professor of Princeton Theological Seminary), James Waddell Alexander became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Trenton, New Jersey and was the translator of the widely-known hymn, 'O Sacred Head Now Wounded.' These letters between two close friends provide valuable theological and pastoral insights from the mid-nineteenth century. A fascinating book! " Derek Thomas, John E Richards Professor of Theology, RTS Jackson; Minister of Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson; and Editorial Director, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals "During his second year at Princeton University, James W. Alexander, son of Archibald Alexander (Princeton Theological Seminary's first professor), began a correspondence with John Hall, a Philadelphia friend, which continued for forty years (1819-1859). After Alexander's death on July 31, 1859, Charles Hodge urged John Hall to publish the almost 800 letters, saying that it 'would be a unique work. It would be a literary, theological, religious and conversational history of the past forty years.' " David Calhoun, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Covenant Theological Seminary "Forty Year's Familiar Letters contains fascinating autobiographical reflections of James Waddell Alexander (1804-1859), the oldest son of Archibald Alexander, and a well-known pastor for a quarter century before becoming professor of Ecclesiastical History at Princeton Seminary in 1849. This book is teeming with historical, practical, and experiential insights growing out of nineteenth-century American Presbyterianism seen through the lenses of James W.'s own experience." -Dr. Joel Beeke CHARLES HODGE, great Princeton theologian, strongly urged John Hall to publish this treasure trove of letters. He believed that these 800+ letters were "of such peculiar interest and value" that they deserved to be published. He stated, "This would be a unique work.

For a long time, this biography could only be found on rare book lists. Its republication is gladly welcomed!" - Derek Thomas, "When J.A. Alexander died on January 28, 1860, Charles Hodge said, 'We have lost the greatest and one of the best men I ever knew.' The brilliant 'and somewhat eccentric' scholar taught almost every subject at Princeton Theological Seminary. He was a gifted preacher who moved congregations with the power and wisdom of his sermons. His Biblical commentaries remain in print as examples of careful and accurate exegesis and exposition. A life-long bachelor, he loved little children and created books and games for them. This biography was first published in 1870. Its author was Alexander's nephew, Henry Carrington Alexander, the son of J.W. Alexander (the subject's older brother).

 click for details | | TRUE WOMAN 101 and TRUE WOMAN 201 Mary Kassian & Nancy Leigh DeMoss (1) TRUE WOMAN 101 - Divine Design: An Eight-Week Study on Biblical Womanhood What does it mean to be a woman? The current cultural ideal for womanhood encourages women to be strident, sexual, self-centered, independent -- and above all -- powerful and in control. But sadly, this model of womanhood hasn't delivered the happiness and fulfillment it promised. The Bible teaches that it's not up to us to decide what womanhood is all about. God created male and female for a very specific purpose. His design isn't arbitrary or unimportant. It is very intentional and He wants women to discover, embrace, and delight in the beauty of His design. He's looking for True Women! Bible teachers Mary A. Kassian and Nancy Leigh DeMoss share the key fundamentals of biblical womanhood in this eight week study. Each week includes five daily individual lessons leading to a group time of sharing and digging deeper into God's Word. And to enhance this time of learning together, on-line videos are available featuring Mary and Nancy as they encourage women to discover and embrace God's design and mission for their lives. A True Woman Book The goal of the True Woman publishing line is to encourage women to: *Discover, embrace, and delight in God's divine design and mission for their lives *Reflect the beauty and heart of Jesus Christ to their world *Intentionally pass the baton of Truth on to the next generation *Pray earnestly for an outpouring of God's Spirit in their families, churches, nation and world (2) TRUE WOMAN 201 - Interior Design - Ten Elements of Biblical Womanhood Highly anticipated follow-up to the True Woman 101 Bible study for women When we step into God’s plan for womanhood, we step into the great adventure of discovering who we’re created to be. The greatest display of God’s glory, the greatest wholeness of person-hood, the greatest joy of human relationships, and the greatest fruitfulness in ministry come about when we embrace and celebrate His design. In this Bible study for women, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth and Mary Kassian delve into Titus 2 to celebrate redeemed womanhood. Exploring 10 “design elements” of biblical womanhood, they will lead you on a 10-week journey of discovering what a beautiful heart looks like, and how it leads to a beautiful life. Each week is divided into five lessons that provide opportunity for group interaction and delving deep into Scripture. You'll explore the following themes: *Discernment *Honor *Affection *Discipline *Virtue *Responsibility *Benevolence *Disposition *Legacy *Beauty The Lord wants to come in and do a radical renovation of your heart. He wants to change you into a godly woman from the inside out. If you let Him, He’ll give you an extreme makeover . . . a new interior design. Why wait?

 click for details | | WORTHY: Celebrating the Value of Women Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived? Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God's creation, plan, and their value in His eyes. Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn't only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God's perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations; men who might be wondering if they've missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they're reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a "Digging Deeper" section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God's glory. "With candor and wisdom, Elyse and Eric shine a light into the biblical text, showing the ways God has cared for and worked through women to bring about his purposes in the world. Then they shine a light into the church, addressing the significant questions women have about how God cares for and intends to work through them today."--NANCY GUTHRIE, author of Even Better Than Eden: Nine Ways the Bible's Story Changes Everything about Your Story Elyse Fitzpatrick is a nationally sought-after speaker and author. She holds a certificate in biblical counseling from CCEF (San Diego) and an MA in biblical counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary.

 click for details | | THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS: Edited by George Offor, including Bunyan’s own Marginal Notes JOHN BUNYAN THIS IS A COMPLETE, UNABRIDGED EDITION CONTAINING THE ORIGINAL MARGINAL NOTES OF JOHN BUNYAN. Other than the Bible, there is no book written in the English language that has been published more than “The Pilgrims Progress”, by John Bunyan. We believe there are two primary reasons for this. First, the book is thoroughly and eminently Scriptural. But secondly, and just as importantly, it is profoundly practical, being a deeply experiential and spiritual account of the realities of the true Christian call, conversion, walk, opposition, and spiritual rewards, both temporal and eternal; all applied to pilgrims of various gifts and capacities. The main reason this particular edition of Pilgrims Progress was selected is because the original editor, George Offor, carefully reviewed all eight of Bunyan’s own editions being careful to produce a copy that adhered strictly to Bunyan’s own revisions of the text. But in addition, Offor was also careful to include Bunyan’s Marginal Notes. Bunyan himself provided these notes and insisted that they were one major key to understanding the text, the other being the illuminating work of The Spirit. We have made no changes to Offor’s/Bunyan’s text in this edition. May it be blessed to your soul as it has been to millions before you is our prayer. Charles H. Spurgeon loved reading and re-reading this work, claiming to have read it over 100 times! Quite often his wife read it to him in the afternoon for relaxation and meditation. He often quoted Bunyan in his sermons declaring, "Though his writings are charmingly full of poetry, yet he cannot give us his Pilgrim's Progress, that sweetest of all prose poems, without continually making us feel and say, 'Why, this man is a living Bible!' Prick him anywhere, his blood is Bibline, the very essence of the Bible flows from him. He cannot speak without quoting a text, for his very soul is full of the Word of God." George Whitefield said of this book, "It smells of the prison. It was written when the author was confined in Bedford jail. And ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross: the Spirit of Christ and of Glory then rests upon them." John Newton added, "Of all our author's writings, there is no one perhaps so universally and deservedly admired as his Pilgrim's Progress, in which he gives a delineation of the Christian life under the idea of a journey or a pilgrimage, from the City of Destruction to the heavenly Jerusalem. In this treatise Bunyan appears not only as a writer well instructed in the mysteries of the kingdom, but a man of real genius." John Owen once went to hear John Bunyan preach. Charles II, hearing of it, asked the doctor why someone as thoroughly educated as he would want to hear a mere tinker preach. Owen replied, "May it please your Majesty, if I could possess the tinker's abilities to grip men's hearts, I would gladly give in exchange all my learning."

 | | AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA: Millenial Expectations in the Rise of Anglo-American Missions 1640-1810 James A. De Jong "This volume surefootedly guides us through the complex relation of millennial expectations and Anglo-American missiology from the Puritan age to the beginning of the nineteenth century. He shows how millennial hopes varied throughout this period from an adventist type of premillennialism to a low-keyed postmillennialism. Nevertheless, De Jong concludes that these anticipations often balanced themselves out somewhere between other-wordly and secularized hope and between the temporal and eternal aspects of salvation. This balance enabled believers to engage in mission work confidently yet realistically, setting a viable pattern for us to follow today as we continue to look to Christ in hope, drawing our vision of humanity and missiology from His Word." - Joel Beeke "This volume accurately traces out millennial views in the 17th and 18th centuries. Information is structured, compact, and easy to read. For instance, John Owen's views are cited in six points, one of which is 'the subjection of the nations throughout the whole world unto the Lord Jesus Christ.' The author reminds us that 'William Carey's Enquiry' became the charter of the missionary movement. In the preface Carey declared that 'God has repeatedly made known his intention to prevail finally over all the power of the Devil.' This volume is a powerful endorsement of the fact that an eschatology of victory was motivational to missionary endeavour on a very wide scale. THIS IS A MOST RELEVANT AND VALUABLE BOOK!." - Erroll Hulse $10.00 Sale 10s cwxs 50% Discount SGCB Price: $15.00 (list price $30.00) |

Through the writings of five notable Puritans: Richard Sibbes, Richard baxter, John Eliot, Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards, Rooy explores Puritan missiology in its theological foundation, its development and establishment, and its progress. Individuals and churches alike will be inspired by this historical and theological survey of magisterial Puritans." - Joel Beeke "Of excellent quality throughout, this volume traces out the theology that leads to the evangelization of the world: divine sovereignty and human responsibility, conversion, and the role of the church in missions. The biographical sketches enhance the volume. This is all rich material. Highlights for me are the practical section on evangelism from Richard Baxter's 'A Christian Directory' and the preceptive analysis of Jonathan Edwards' book 'A History of Redemption,' which the author suggests is perhaps Edwards' best claim to originality in theology. I commend this volume highly." - Erroll Hulse CONTENTS Chapter One - RICHARD SIBBES: The Theological Foundation of the Mission Chapter Two - RICHARD BAXTER: The Development of the Mission Idea Chapter Three - JOHN ELIOT: The Establishment of the Mission Chapter Four - COTTON MATER & JONATHAN EDWARDS: The Progress of the Mission EVANGELISTIC TITLE $10.00 Sale cwxs 50% Discount SGCB Price: $16.00 (list price $32.00) |

 | | PULLING THE EYE TOOTH FROM A LIVE TIGER: A Memoir of the Life and Labors of Adoniram Judson Francis Wayland This Two Volume Work contains the incredible, almost unbelievable, true story of the calling and ministry of one of the greatest pioneer ministries in the history of the United States. Adoniram Judson, Jr. (August 9, 1788 – April 12, 1850) was an American Congregationalist and later Particular Baptist[1] missionary, who served in Burma for almost forty years. At the age of 25, Adoniram Judson was sent from North America to preach in Burma. His mission and work with Luther Rice led to the formation of the first Baptist association in America to support missionaries. At times mistakenly referred to as the first Protestant missionary to Burma, he was in fact preceded by James Chater and Richard Mardon (who both arrived in 1807) as well as by Felix Carey. However, since those predecessors did not remain long, and Judson also translated the Bible into Burmese, as well as established a number of Baptist churches in Burma, Judson is remembered as the first significant missionary in Burma, as well as one of the first missionaries from America to travel overseas. When Judson began his mission in Burma, he set a goal of translating the Bible and founding a church of 100 members before his death. By the time of his death, he had accomplished those goals and more: leaving the translated Bible as well as a half-completed Burmese-English dictionary, 100 churches, and over 8,000 believers. In large part due to his influence, Myanmar has the third largest number of Baptists worldwide, behind the United States and India. "The original two-volume work sold an amazing 26,000 copies in its first year of publication and became a major stimulus in the development of American evangelical missions. May the reprinting of this vintage text have a similar impact in our day." - Michael Haykin cwxs 3/27/25 Over 50% Discount - 2 VOLUME SET SGCB Price: $42.00 (list price $85.00) |

 click for details | | MEN & WOMEN IN THE CHURCH: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction Kevin DeYoung A Biblical Primer on Men and Women in the Church There is much at stake in God making humanity male and female. Created for one another yet distinct from each other, a man and a woman are not interchangeable—they are designed to function according to a divine fittedness. But when this design is misunderstood, ignored, or abused, there are dire consequences. Men and women—in marriage especially, but in the rest of life as well—complement one another. And this biblical truth has enduring, cosmic significance. From start to finish, the biblical storyline—and the design of creation itself—depends upon the distinction between male and female. Men and Women in the Church is about the divinely designed complementarity of men and women as it applies to life in general and especially ministry in the church. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction: What If? How Come? Where Are We Going? Part 1: Biblical Exploration Chapter 1: A Very Good Place to Start (Genesis 1–3) Chapter 2: Patterns that Preach (Old Testament Survey) Chapter 3: Revolution and Repetition (Jesus and the Gospels) Chapter 4: Of Heads and Hair (1 Corinthians 11:2–6; 14:33–35) Chapter 5: A Marriage Made in Heaven (Ephesians 5:22–33) Chapter 6: The Heart of the Matter (1 Timothy 2:8–15) Chapter 7: Leaders, Servants, and Life Together (1 Timothy 3:1–13) Part 2: Questions and Application Chapter 8: Common Objections Chapter 9: Growing Up as Boys and Girls Chapter 10: Following Christ as Men and Women Appendix: Should Complementarian Churches Allow a Woman to Give the Sunday Sermon? Notes General Index Scripture Index “This is the first book I will recommend to those who want to study what the Scriptures teach about the roles of men and women both in marriage and the church.

SCHREINER, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “Men and Women in the Church is readable, accessible and—despite its brevity—covers all the main texts and common questions.

Alexander "The valuable description of the revival of 1858 in this gem of a book is fol1owed by expositions saturated with the Spirit of revival. Here are some notable features: There is fervent prayer in the Spirit which culminates in motivation and effort to reach the lost. Vast harvests require enormous effort and industry. There is a profound sense of sinfulness and the reality of being lost for all eternity together with free grace and a free justification. When revival comes then the gates of iron are penetrated and the very worst of sinners are saved. 'My rule' said John Wesley, 'is to go not only to those who need me but to those who need me most'. Through these sermons our hope, vision and confidence are enlarged, 'The genius of Christianity is not simply that of conservation, but of aggression. Christianity must not merely live but increase and cover the earth' (p.179).

"The [ORIGINAL] publishers of this volume, believing that Christians in other parts of the country will be glad to enjoy some of those exhibitions of truth which God has so peculiarly owned and blessed in the great metropolis, have requested a number of ministers, of different denominations, to furnish one of their ordinary discourses delivered in the midst of the present great Awakening, for the purpose of making a Memorial Volume of this work of God. Most of those clergymen to whom application was made, have kindly and cheerfully complied with our request. They have each given us a sermon prepared with no thought of its going beyond the hearing and the hearts of their own congregation. The sermon is in no respect intended to exhibit the learning or the ability of the preacher, but rather to be a specimen of the truth, and the manner in which it has been presented by various eminent clergymen in the ordinary ministrations of the Sabbath. These pages are the earnest, pungent expression of their heart and mind, at a time when God is doing great things in their churches, whereof they are glad." - from the original Preface ARBCA SPECIAL SALE SERMONS SPECIAL sss cwxs Nearly 50% Discount SGCB Price: $15.95 (list price $30.00)ORDER ALONG WITH COMPANION VOLUME ON THE NY CITY REVIVAL AND ITS LESSONS SGCB Price: $25.00 (list price $50.00)THIS IS THE PRICE FOR BOTH TITLES TOGETHER |

 click for details | | THE SEPTUAGINT: WHAT IT IS and WHY IT MATTERS GREGORY R. LANIER & WILLIAM A. ROSS A Thorough, Accessible Introduction to the Greek Translation of the Old Testament Scholars and laypeople alike have stumbled over Bible footnotes about the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Many wonder, What is it? Why do some verses differ from the Hebrew text? Is it important to Scripture? In this introduction to the Septuagint, Gregory R. Lanier and William A. Ross clarify its origin, transmission, and language. By studying its significance for both the Old and New Testaments, believers can understand the Septuagint’s place in Judeo-Christian history as well as in the church today. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Part 1: What Is the Septuagint? Chapter 1: What (If Anything) Is the So-Called Septuagint? Chapter 2: Who and Where Did the Greek Old Testament Come From? Chapter 3: How Was the Greek Old Testament Translated? Chapter 4: How Did the Greek Old Testament Develop? Part 2: Why Does It Matter? Chapter 5: Why Does the Septuagint Matter for Studying the Old Testament? Chapter 6: Why Does the Septuagint Matter for Studying the New Testament? Chapter 7: What Kind of Authority Does the Septuagint Have? Appendix: The Septuagint: Ten Key Questions ENDORSEMENTS “It is good to have Lanier and Ross as reliable guides to the tricky but fascinating domain of the Greek Old Testament. Their short introduction is a rare achievement: introducing the complexities behind the term ‘Septuagint’ in a simple way without compromising accuracy. An excellent book.” -Peter J. Williams, Principal, Tyndale House, Cambridge “Pastors and seminary students regularly ask me about the Septuagint and its significance for a modern, English-speaking Christian. The Septuagint: What It Is and Why It Matters is my new number-one recommended resource for these inquiries. The book is informed by a scholarly knowledge of the subject, yet it remains accessible and a pleasure to read.” -Robert L. Plummer, Collin and Evelyn Aikman Professor of Biblical Studies, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Founder and Host, Daily Dose of Greek “Interested in the Septuagint? Start here. This accessible introduction carefully navigates the what and the so what of the Septuagint, charting a steady course through a quagmire of complex issues. Tricky matters are treated with scholarly precision and theological sensitivity, and readers will find a corrective both to an overemphasis and to an under-emphasis on the Septuagint. This book will be useful to the beginning student, the graduate student, the pastor, and anyone interested in learning more about how we got the Bible.” -Brandon D. Crowe, Professor of New Testament, Westminster Theological Seminary “In class I’m regularly asked how much value and authority we should attribute to the Septuagint. The answer is complex, but students are looking for clear answers. As a teacher, I had yet to come across a clear yet precise resource explaining the origins and role of the Septuagint—until now. Lanier and Ross have produced a book I will be recommending each time this question is posed. I highly recommend it.” -Patrick Schreiner, Associate Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary “The Septuagint is unfamiliar and intimidating to most Bible students. I don’t know of a more accessible introduction than this book.” -Andrew David Naselli, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and New Testament, Bethlehem College & Seminary; Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church “The Septuagint is a minefield of quandaries for both Bible scholar and devoted layperson: Why is the Septuagint in my Bible’s footnotes, offering a different reading from the main text or the source for the reading in the main text? Why do the New Testament authors quote from the Septuagint and not the Hebrew? In this book, Lanier and Ross know the minefield and ably guide readers through the potential dangers related to terminology, the task of ancient translation, textual and translational histories, canonical formation, and biblical authority and lead them safely to the other side. I happily recommend this book!” -John D. Meade, Associate Professor of Old Testament; Codirector, Text & Canon Institute, Phoenix Seminary; coauthor, The Biblical Canon Lists from Early Christianity AUTHORS William A.

 click for details | | FOUND IN HIM: The Joy of the Incarnation and Our Union with Christ ELYSE M. FITZPATRICK We Were Lost. Now We’re Found…in Him. Everyone has experienced isolation and alienation. We lost more than a nice home when we were banished from Eden. We lost relationship with God and with each other. But then God did the unthinkable. The Son of God became the Man Christ Jesus: one of us that we might be united to him. In Found in Him, Elyse Fitzpatrick explores the wonder of the incarnation and the glory of our union with Christ, offering us a sure path to ultimate acceptance and true belonging through the power of the gospel. Table of Contents Part 1: Incarnation 1. From Beginning to End It’s All About Him 2. Come Adore on Bended Knee 3. Our Perfected Savior 4. God’s Love for Sinners 5. O Sacred Head Now Wounded 6. Jesus Shall Reign Part 2: Union 7. “I In Them” 8. He Gave Himself Up for Us 9. Chosen, Betrothed, Beloved, Named 10. You Are Forgiven, You Are Righteous, You Are Loved Appendices 1. The Church’s Creeds 2. The Best News Ever 3. John 17 4. The Golden Chain ENDORSEMENTS “Busy Christians in an iPhone age can look at Christ as though he were the battery charger and we are the smartphone. We ‘plug into’ Jesus during a quiet time, then go out and live on that energy until our spiritual batteries run dry—then it’s back to the next quiet time, conference, or retreat. But this is not a metaphor the Bible invites us to use when it speaks of our union in Christ. He is the vine; we are the branches. In her newest and perhaps most important work, my friend Elyse Fitzpatrick describes this beautiful union we have with our Savior and the joys of drawing from the Vine. I highly recommend this exceptional book!” -Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder, Joni and Friends International Disability Center “Found in Him reveals the God-designed remedy for our impoverished hearts—the work of Christ for, in, and through us. While many heavy-laden, conscience-stricken believers struggle to bear up under the weight of their spiritual ‘to-do’ lists, Elyse awakens our hearts and minds to what Jesus has already done and calls us to find rest in him.” -Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author; Founder, Revive Our Hearts and True Woman “It’s hard for me to capture how thankful I am for this book. As Elyse is so skilled at doing, she has taken the doctrine of our union with Christ, which sits and collects dust on the shelves of most Christians’ theology and has little impact on their living, and displayed for us the beauty of its transformative power. When you don’t understand the essential provisions that have been made for you in your union with Christ, you sadly spend your life shopping for what is already yours in him. I will recommend and give away this book again and again and will celebrate with new enthusiasm that I have been found in him!” -Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out “Resist the temptation to think that a book on the incarnation of Christ and our union with him couldn’t help but be dull, dry, and doctrinally abstract. Elyse Fitzpatrick couldn’t be dull if she tried! This is a rich, incisive, thoroughly scriptural, and heart-warming journey into the gospel of who Jesus is and what he has done to unite us to himself. Elyse’s portrait of Jesus and our life in him will do more than challenge and inform; it will awaken awe at the depths of God’s grace and stir adoration for the one who loved you and gave himself for you. Read and rejoice! I did.” -Sam Storms, Senior Pastor, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma xinc ADV21 CWXS adv23 GREAT PRICE FOR A GREATLY ENCOURAGING BOOK SGCB Price: $8.50 (list price $17.00) |
