I was consoled, convicted, instructed, and even ushered into God’s presence by this book.” Thomas R.

Lives Jesus Changed Lessons about Life from John’s Gospel Simon Vibert is Vice Principal and Director of the School of Preaching at Wycliffe Hall. He is a “preaching facilitator” for Langham Partnership. If you open a family album you will begin to get an idea of the events which have occurred in the life of that particular family. John’s Gospel gives a snapshot of Jesus life and the lives he changed. It tells the story of Jesus, the Saviour of the world who came in flesh to forgive sins. Simon Vibert invites you to come and see these changed lives. But all these characters that we meet are not the one that the people had been waiting for. Jesus was that one and all these characters were but “signposts” that pointed to him. ISBN 978-1-84550-543-1 | Trade | 256 Pages | PB | £7.99 $12.99

New Teaching
Includes Christian Teaching/Biblical Studies/Theological Studies
Mystery of the Holy Spirit R. C. Sproul – a world-renowned teacher, theologian and pastor. He is the founder and chairman of Ligonier Ministries. Do you want to know more about the Holy Spirit? Bible teacher, R. C. Sproul deepens your understanding of the Holy Spirit as he explores the many different roles the Spirit has in our lives. Sproul deals with some of the most perplexing and frequently discussed issues with sensitivity. While the mystery surrounding the Holy Spirit is not dispelled – we are challenged to get to know him better and to look for signs of his work in our life. “This outstanding resource, newly available, will bless many lives as Christians learn of the person and work of the Holy Spirit.” R. Albert Mohler President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky ISBN 978-1-84550-481-6 | Trade | 160 Pages | PB | £7.99 $12.99 Priority of Preaching Christopher Ash – Director of Cornhill Training Course, London “This little book is written for ordinary ministers who preach regularly to ordinary people in ordinary places... Most of us preach in gatherings that are smaller than we would wish and tougher than we might have hoped when we entered pastoral ministry... There is a voice on our shoulders who whispers as we prepare, and then as we preach, ‘Is it really worth it?” From The Introduction A charter for preaching is set out drawn from the roots of the Old Testament. Nothing is more important as preaching in God’s strategy to rebuild a broken world. Christopher Ash gives a resounding yes to the question ‘Is preaching worth it?’. It will be an encouragement to those who are involved in regular weekly ministry. ISBN 978-1-84550-464-9 | Trade | 128 Pages | PB | £7.99 $12.99 Finally Alive John Piper – Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis The term ‘New Birth’ has been devalued both in the society and the church. Those claiming to be ‘born again’ live lives that are indistinguishable from those who don’t; they sin the same, embrace injustice the same, covet the same, do almost everything the same. Being ‘born again’ is now defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament however defines Christians very differently. John Piper defines it biblically and helps us to value again the importance of the new birth by providing an answer to the contradiction of ineffective churches. “I hope that showing that the new birth is not in our control helps make pastors and Christians desperate for the supernatural in their ministries” John Piper ISBN 978-1-84550-421-2 | Large Trade | 208 Pages | PB | £8.99 $14.99 Understanding the Times Living in the Light of the Arrival of the King William Taylor – Minister, St Helens, Bishopgate, London How should churches and individual Christians react to the secular and amoral world in which we live? Through a study of three key chapters in Matthew’s Gospel (chapters 8-10), Taylor argues that Matthew wanted his readers to understand God’s perspective on the times in which we live. The arrival of King Jesus inaugurated the era of his kingdom rule, a foretaste of the world to come, but we still live in a fallen world, which will inevitably be in conflict with his kingdom people. Taylor draws out the lessons Matthew was teaching about the terms and conditions of discipleship and the family ties of kingdom living. A useful book for both individual and group study. ISBN 978-1-84550-438-0 | Trade | 144 Pages | PB | £6.99 $10.99

Discover afresh the Old Testament…
Roots: Let the Old Testament Speak Alec Motyer – a well-known Bible expositor & former principal of Trinity College. Edited and preface by John Stott. Through Alec Motyer, a life-long lover and respecter of the Old Testament, you will find a comprehensive survey of the Old Testament organised around its authors and major characters and pointing to Christ as its fulfilment. “If people think that we don’t need the Old Testament today, they don’t realise the extent to which the New Testament is incomprehensible without the Old. For example, the epistle to the Hebrews cannot be understood unless one goes back to the Old Testament and learns the theory and practice of sacrifice. That is but a very small example. Remember how Matthew begins. He says the beginning of Jesus is Abraham.” Alec Motyer “This is vintage Motyer; it is affectionate - the writer’s sheer delight in ‘the law of the Lord’ tends to ooze out from behind the print.” Dale Ralph Davis “There can be no doubt that this book benefits greatly from Alec Motyer’s lifetime of Old Testament study.” John Stott, Rector Emeritus, All Souls Church, London, England ISBN 978-1-84550-506-6 Large Trade | 416 Pages | PB | £11.99 $19.99 In Days of the Kings Michael Wilcock – is a respected author and Bible teacher. He has spent many years in Pastoral ministry including his most recent charge St Nicholas, Durham. Colourful characters and strange stories are all contained in the Old Testament but how do they fit into history? This book uniquely covers the 450 years of the Kings of Israel and Judah; the author places each king in his own time and place, pointing out ways a particular king either feared or did not fear the Lord, and what were the consequences. He also involves the contribution of various prophets sent by the Lord to speak to these kings. The final chapter explains how the Kingdom of God still functions even although the reign of the kings is long over. “If I wanted to give a book to someone in my congregation to explain the flow of the Old Testament I would given them this book” Malcolm Maclean, Minister, Greyfriars Free Church of Scotland, Inverness, Scotland ISBN 978-1-84550-508-0 Large Trade | 176 Pages PB | £7.99 $12.99

New Mission

New Christian Life/Devotional
1-2-1 Discipleship Helping one another grow spiritually Christine Dillon – Missionary, OMF International, Taiwan – where she is involved in discipling & training churches. 1-2-1 discipleship is often neglected in our churches, yet it can lead to real spiritual growth. Correctly practised it is tailor-made, flexible & communicates love and care with less embarrassment than a group setting. If we get the discipling part right then the church will grow and can become wide AND deep, giving life and refreshment instead of disappointment and frustration. This book aims to explain what discipleship is and give practical guidelines for discipling others. Christine felt compelled to write it because few seem to have been discipled themselves and good books on the topic are surprisingly scarce. ISBN 978-1-84550-425-0 | Trade | 160 Pages | PB | £5.99 $9.99 Connected Christianity Engaging Culture without Compromise Arturo Azurdia III – Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology/Director of Pastoral Mentoring at Western Seminary, Portland Oregon Published in Conjunction with Bryntirion Press. Connected Christianity is a clarion call to Christians to robustly engage with the world we live in for the sake of the gospel. It calls us to be both Christian AND worldly surely, an unnerving tension when first considered, but absolutely necessary if we are to truly reach the lost of this world. But how do we engage the world meaningfully without compromising the integrity of our Christianity? Is it possible for a follower of Jesus Christ to be both “worldly” and Christian? These are the questions this book seeks to answer. ISBN 978-1-84550-468-7 | Trade | 96 Pages | PB | £5.99 $9.99

Right on the Money An Introduction to Personal Finance From A Christian Perspective Kelvin Worthington – 25 years experience in Corporate and Business banking, currently living in Sydney Australia How do we personally respond to the current economic crisis when we have been called to be “salt & light” in our secular society, even with our money? Kelvin will help you arrive at a biblical response to personal finance with some helpful practical advice. This is practical rather than academic - a book that ordinary Christians can read and understand and that unravels some of the ‘mystique’ of finance. To that end this book deals with subjects such as budgeting, debt, retirement planning, investing, tithing, shares, gambling, life insurance, what to do with material blessings and being responsible with money.

The Goodnight Book Richard Bewes – Formerly Rector of All Souls, Langham Place, Experienced Broadcaster and Conference speaker It’s said by psychologists that the last thing we think about at night tends to stay with us, and becomes a part of the subconscious, thus affecting our mental and emotional make-up. The action-packed day that makes ‘winding down’ difficult, the fear of what ‘tomorrow’ may bring; pressures on our marriage, in the workplace or family; decisions looming ahead, the heaviness of grief - or the trauma of moving house. So here is help for such concerns one page at a time - one page of truth per evening! “a priceless little collection of encouraging insights that will shape your night-time dreams and enhance your evening reflections. It’s just the sort of thing you want to read before you pillow your head.” Joni Eareckson Tada ISBN 978-1-84550-465-6 | Large Trade | 128 Pages | PB | £7.99 $12.99

18 Words The Most Important Words You Will Ever Know J. I. Packer – Time magazine calls him one of the top 25 most influential evangelical leaders alive! We have an enormous increase of words flying around the planet, that has seemingly been accompanied by a decrease in our understanding of them. The church hasn’t been faultless – many times it has fudged the meaning of words to maintain superficial unity. J. I. Packer clarifies things. He is a master wordsmith, also gifted with the ability of showing where truth lies in complicated reasoning. These skills combine to make 18 Words a fascinating read – and a life-changing one. (NB the 18 words are Death, Devil, Election, Faith, Fellowship, Grace, Holiness, Justification, Lord, Mediator, Mortification, Reconciliation, Regeneration, Revelation, Sanctification, Scripture, Sin & World).

Liam provides real practical lessons from the drama of his life. “Here’s an excellent, insightful and contemporary introduction to an ancient ‘soap opera’: a family’s fortunes that have turned the course of history, by the astonishing grace and providence of God, through their greatest relative, Jesus the Saviour of the world.

A Man after God’s own Heart God’s relationship with David - and with you R.T. Kendall – former minister of Westminster Chapel, London, author and international convention speaker based in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Twice God says that in King David he has found ‘a man after my own heart’ (1 Sam. 13:14: Acts 13:22). David was one of God’s favourites despite the fact that David had sinned so deeply. Our encouragement is that the Lord continued to use him, even after his time of backsliding. David wrote that ‘the Lord confides in those who fear him’ (Psalm 25:14) and David was one that God chose to confide in. If you wish to know what it is like to be close to God then this book will help you to discover what such a relationship is like.

Core Teaching & Biblical Studies
Read/Mark/Learn
St Helen”s – Bishopsgate, London, England The ideal series to follow up an initial evangelistic, or discipleship, programme (e.g. Alpha or Christianity Explored). Read/Mark/Learn is a small group Bible study series that is designed to equip people to study God’s Word for themselves – and in studying it, know God’s purpose for their lives. Each study establishes the context, aim and structure of the passage; links with the Old Testament; draws lessons from each part of the passage and highlights key issues, practical applications and suggestions. It includes conversation starters, questions for leading a Bible study and a photocopiable section for group members (these are also downloadable from our website).

It has been developed by one of London’s leading churches, St Helen’s, Bishopsgate. “Read/Mark/Learn has taught hundreds of us over the years to know our Bibles and our God better” Hugh Palmer “The art of simplification is not an easy one, but here it is at it’s best” Don Carson

When Grace comes Home How the ‘Doctrines of Grace’ change your life. People talk earnestly about the ‘doctrines of grace’ – they can even get rather hot under the collar! But are these ideas just a theological debate - or is there more to it than that? Terry shows how these concepts can become, should become, a part of your life so that God becomes real in every situation. You will find help in worship, humility, adversity, outlook, evangelism, holiness, assurance, law & liberty, prayer, guidance and a faith for living! It will make a difference to the way you live! “Whether or not evangelicals know it, their future as a viable movement depends upon the rediscovery of such God-honouring theology.” James Montgomery Boice ISBN 978-1-85792-539-5 | 192 Pages

When Grace Transforms The Character of Christ’s Disciples Put Forward in the Beatitudes The Beatitudes are not rules that allow us to enter heaven; they are designed as guidance for those who believe in Jesus to live a fuller life. The Sermon on the Mount was preached to the disciples, not to the general population, so, ultimately, you need to be a Christian to benefit from it in any lasting way. Terry explains what the Beatitudes don’t mean, whilst also opening up what they do. His conclusions are strong, challenging, and immensely practical. Terry will help you engage with Jesus in a way that you haven’t done before. “…a clarion call to discipleship in depth.” J. I.

Here he turns his attention to how the Lord’s Prayer, which is more than an aside in the New Testament! Each subject area is looked at with practical depth.

Richards Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology, Jackson campus, Reformed Theological Seminary Even today’s post Christian society is familiar with the Lord’s Prayer and many can repeat it verbatim, but do we ponder its message and follow its example?

Why Join a Small Church? John Benton – Author and pastor of Chertsey Street Baptist Church & managing Editor of Evangelicals Now! “To join a big and thriving church is not always wrong, but it is frequently the easy option. To join a little, needy congregation is not a decision to be taken lightly. It will probably require far more guts, love, resilience and spiritual exertion. But how the devil would love to herd Christians into a few big city centre churches, getting them to travel miles from their communities, and leaving vast tracts of our country with no viable witness for the gospel. This book is written as a plea for Christians to think again about not getting involved with a small church. Ask yourself the question, ‘How can we drive past one church to go to another?’” John Benton ISBN 978-1-84550-407-6 | Trade | 64 Pages | PB | £4.99 $7.99

The Unheeded Christ Jesus Demands Serious Obedience David Cook – Principal & Director of the School of Preaching, Sydney Missionary Bible College, Australia. Popular speaker at Conventions including the Keswick Convention. Jesus Christ is a provocative, uncompromising teacher.

We get so used to him that we don’t take notice of what he commands us to do. Jesus demands serious obedience from his people in all areas of life. Here he challenges us about crucial contemporary issues – loving enemies, forgiveness, sex, ambition, adultery, wealth accumulation, revenge, the impending judgement, resolving tension between Christians and self-delusion. Rediscover Jesus’ words as fresh, wise authentic and discerning - and listen to him again - but this time don’t let him go unheeded! ISBN 978-1-84550-369-7 | Trade | 176 Pages| PB | £6.99 $10.99

The Unusual Suspects 25 Jewish People who defy the final taboo Richard Gibson – Christian minister brought up in a home in which Israel and Jewish people were respected and loved.

The fact that these people - from such diverse backgrounds, ages and experience - each came to the same conclusion and response regarding Yeshua (Jesus), must surely stir readers to examine the evidence and find out for themselves. I pray that many will.” Helen Shapiro “an honest and down-to-earth record of the trials and mental struggles they experienced before coming to the realisation that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah. With that realisation came the understanding that following Christ did not make them any less Jewish” Evangelical Times ISBN 978-1-84550-414-4 | Trade | 192 Pages | PB | £6.99 $10.99

David Brainerd NEW A Flame for God Vance Christie – pastor and author specialising in missionary biographies and experienced in Chinese Missionary Service. He lives in Aurora, Nebraska. Introduction by John Macarthur.

By considering the life of Brainerd this book will be of tremendous spiritual benefit as you read of a young man plagued with depression and yet made so effective under God. “...I hardly ever so longed to live to God and to be altogether devoted to him; I wanted to wear out my life in his service and for his glory …” David Brainerd ISBN 978-1-84550-478-6 |320 pages |£7.99 $12.99 George Whitefield The Evangelist John Pollock – awardwinning biographer John Pollock vividly portrays George Whitefield and his times. The story is told of how God worked in a remarkable way through Whitefield in Britain and the then Colonies of America. Traveling many miles by horseback, crossing the Atlantic on countless occasions, sometimes experiencing illness and fatigue, countless people were drawn to Christ through this man. Come and catch the drama and also the passion and commitment George Whitefield had for the gospel. “May the rising generation catch a spark of that flame which shone with such distinguished lustre in the Spirit and practice of this faithful servant of the most high God.” John Wesley speaking about George Whitefield after his death “John Pollock’s biography is highly readable and succeeds in bringing to life the man and his amazing ministry.” John Semtamu, The Archbishop of York 978-1-84550-454-0 |272 Pages |£7.99 $12.99 George Müller Delighted in God Roger Steer – writer, broadcaster, online tutor, author of twelve books and a leader in his local church in Devon, England.

Disturbed by the faithlessness of the Church in general, he longed to have something to point to as ‘visible proof that our God and Father is the same faithful creator as he ever was’. Praying in every penny of the costs, he supervised the building of orphanages to house thousands of children. He was insistent that under no circumstances would any individual ever be asked for money or materials. He was more successful than anyone could have believed possible and is as much an example to our generation, as he was to his.

James Paton an author and Presbyterian Minister in Scotland. The story of the Scottish missionary pioneer John Gibson Paton (1824-1907).

This is the inspirational account of Scottish Missionary John G. Paton’s pioneering mission work among cannibals in the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu). Living among constant dangers and death threats, battling against illness and enduring great personal loss and sacrifice, Paton laboured on and showed great love for the island peoples. He had the joy eventually of seeing people come to Christ and living a totally transformed lifestyle.

He lives in Aurora, Nebraska. “The fateful day began with deceptive normalcy at John and Betty Stam’s missionary residence in Tsingteh, China. Both the wood-burning stoves had been lit and were starting to heat up nicely, helping to lessen the chill that gripped the large old house that cold, early December morning. The Stams, along with the six Chinese who lived with them in the house, had already eaten breakfast.” So begins what becomes a gripping story of missionary endeavour in China. The early church leader, Tertullian, said that ‘the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church’. This is just one story of the people whose witness is the cause of the spectacular growth of the church in China today. ISBN 978-1-84550-376-5 |208 Pages |£7.99 $13.99

The day he died, Schofield’s prayer was answered as seven Cambridge students volunteered to leave behind cosy lives of wealth and privilege to serve God in whatever way they were led. In turn these seven inspired thousands of others to think seriously about missionary service. “It is not surprising that [from] these seven young men with their ‘intolerance of shoddy spirituality in themselves or in others’ there should emerge some extraordinary consequences” Michael Cassidy ISBN 978-1-84550-177-8 |128 Pages |£6.99 $11.99

This fascinating book provides Christians with a simple description of the origins of Islam, what Muslims believe and how it effects their attitudes, worldview, everyday life and culture.

The persistence of these feelings are difficult for believing Christians as their core beliefs are centred on forgiveness, love and compassion. An informative introduction to the Christian faith - looking at the origins, central beliefs and teachings of Christianity. This is an ideal book for any Muslim wanting to discover more about Christianity, enabling the reader to separate truth from myth and make an informed opinion.
