Charles Bridges

Banner of Truth, 1958

A Powerful book for Pastors and Preachers
The Christian Ministry by Charles Bridges is simply one of the most powerful books I've ever read. Virtually every page was helpful. Bridges' book is a theological and practical expose' on what it means to be a Christian pastor and preacher. It is significant that a book this old (1849) is still incredibly relevant. There are five parts to the book - let me give a quick run-down of each. I. In ...

Valley of Vision: A collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions

90 reviews

Banner of Truth, 1975

Worth Much, Much More
These prayers and devotions are wonderfully written. Passionate and thought provoking. Many phrases will remind you of scripture. I read them over and over and discover new morsels to digest. I have given copies to my friends. I carry it right next to my Bible.

Doctrine of Repentance (Puritan Paperbacks) (Puritan Paperbacks)

13 reviews
Watson

Banner of Truth, 1988

When Sin is Bitter, Christ is Sweet
Repentance is a word whose meaning and the force thereof has been incredibly diluted and cheapened. I am one of those responsible for doing so and therefore, like many others, need to be rebuked and corrected. I have known of no exposition on repentance more forceful than what Pastor Watson does here, who begins with St. Paul's address in Athens recorded in the book of Acts that God commands ...

Precious Remedies AgainstSatan's Devices (Puritan Paperbacks) (Puritan Paperbacks)

5 reviews
Thomas Brooks

Banner of Truth, 1968

Pure Hidden Gold
Next to most people's Bibles is a copy of John Bunyan's classic THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS. However, Brooks' amazingly convicting PRECIOUS REMEDIES should be on the other side. This is possibly the most valuable of all the puritan writings, and a must read for every Christian, especially those struggling and/or tampering with sin. Satan hates this work as it exposes his devices....and offers ...

The Godly Man's Picture (Puritan Paperbacks)

9 reviews
Thomas Watson

Banner of Truth, 1992

This is a great book! Buy 10 and give them to your friends.
This is a must read for every Christian. With a high view of the LORD and His Word, Thomas Watson delivers a practical, Christ centered, treatise on what a Godly man will be characterized by. In his usual lucid profundity, Watson articulates and illustrates biblical truth without muddying the water. This book is truly edifying and is without a doubt one of my favorite books of all time. If you ...

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ: A Treatise in Which the Whole Controversy about Universal ...

15 reviews
John Owen

Banner of Truth, 1959

Christ?s Purposeful Death
John Owen's work, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, is the classic text defending the purposeful and actual procurement of salvation for sinners in the death of Christ. While characteristically portrayed as a polemical work on the Calvinistic understanding of limited atonement this work is actually much more. In brief, it is a defense for the perfect work of Christ, which actually ...

The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction

7 reviews
Sinclair B. Ferguson

Banner of Truth, 1981

Doctrine Made Understandable
Most believers (including myself early in my walk with Christ) somehow believe that doctrine divides, that it is unimportant, or that it is only necessary for the "professionals" of the faith! As Sinclair Ferguson writes in his excellent, understandable, and practical book, The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction, "The conviction that Christian doctrine matters for Christian living is one ...

C. H. Spurgeon

Banner of Truth, 2008

Lecture Me
"Affectation of intellectual superiority and love of rhetorical splendour have prevented many from setting forth gospel truth in the easiest imaginable manner, namely, by analogies drawn from common events. Because they could not condescened to men of low estate hey have refrained from repeating incidents which would have accurately explained their meaning. Fearing to be thought vulgar, they have ...

Geerhardus Vos

Banner of Truth, 1975

Brilliant insight into the unfolding of God's redemption & revelation
"Biblical Theology: Old & New Testaments" is Dr. Vos' most famous and comprehensive work. Dr. Geerhardus Vos served as Professor of Biblical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary for 39 years starting in 1894, exercising a significant influence on many eminent theologians of the 20th century, such as Machen, Murray, & Van Til. His insight into Biblical revelation is truly profound, and of ...

Jonathan Edwards

Banner of Truth, 1969

Musat read for every Calvanist!
Today one may hear a professing christian say that they "love Jesus'. Yet, Jesus said that our love for Him would be evident in the way we treat our neighbors. Even our enemies. This book will challenge every child of God to examine the way he or she lives in light of the great commandment, as well as Paul's teaching on 1 Cor 13. For, this book is a collection of sermons on the thirteenth ...

Spurgeon Vs Hyper Calvinism: The Battle for Gospel Preaching

10 reviews
Iain H. Murray

Banner of Truth, 1995

Spurgeon's Fight For Gospel Preaching
While other readers have had negative opinions of Murray's work on the doctrinal battles between Charles Spurgeon and hyper-Calvinist, I enjoyed Murray's work and thought he did a masterful job of presenting an historical account of the debate. While sadly this debate no longer rages today (some would say that is good but in light of the seeker movement and the hyper-Rick Warren gospel I believe ...

Children of the Living God

2 reviews
Sinclair B. Ferguson

Banner of Truth, 1989

Must read for Christians.
This book explains clearly the Reformed, biblical understanding of the covenant between God and His children. For Christians undergoing hard times and especially for parents who have children who they worry about because they have yet to show signs of salvation this book is a blessing. This book leads the reader to Scripture that will strenghen faith and provide hope and comfort through the ...

Mystery of Providence (Puritan Paperbacks) (Puritan Paperbacks)

5 reviews
John Flavel

Banner of Truth, 1963

Is God actually involved in our everyday lives?
John Flavel lived in England during the second half of the 17th Century. That may seem to disqualify him from speaking to people on the verge of entering the 21st Century - but in actuality I found his little book extremely practical and inspirational. Flavel looks at what he believes to be the Scriptural teaching that God is indeed involved in our everyday lives. This "Providence" of God, ...

Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography

Iain H. Murray

Banner of Truth, 2003

A Soul Stirring Biography
Jonathan Edwards is maybe the most exciting historical Christian to study (except for Luther. Part of this explanation is the fact that history shows us a much differnt picture than the modern stereotypes show us. Murray is to be commended for his standard setting work on Edwards. Murray is very warm and doctrine centered. As periodical "Christian History" said of Murray's work, "this is the ...

Once again Pink doesn't dissappoint. In this easy to read volume, Pink looks at the events and happenings of the life of Elijah. He analyses these events, drawing attention to easily overlooked details and historical context. Pink then makes very clear application to the life of the Believer. In doing this, the reader is both challenged and stirred. Pink's ability to exergete a passage in ...

Richard Sibbes

A Diamond Mine of Mercy
In this excellent work Sibbes concerns himself with mining the depths of Isaiah 42:1-3. He skillfully teaches us about bruised reeds, smoking flax, and Christ's victorious government. This work will prove helpful to pastors and lay persons alike. For the struggling believer it will comfort and calm your doubting. It will remind you of the mercy of Christ and leave you in the arms of our gracious ...

A Summary of Christian Doctrine

4 reviews
Louis Berkhof

Banner of Truth, 1960

Reliable standard
Berkhof's is widely acknowledged to be the best brief systematic theology written in the middle part of this century. It is reliable, balanced, concise. While free of lots of technical excusions, Berkhof was very well versed in the broader theological discussions, both classical and contemporary. As Dutch Reformed, he is more Kuyperian and less rationalist than most Anglo-American reformed ...
