This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by our friends at Reformation Heritage Books. And they are offering a pretty good prize. There will be 5 winners this week and each of them will receive 5 books which together retail for $92! Here’s the package:
The Gospel Call and True Conversion by Paul Washer (Recovering the Gospel Series) “The apostle Paul gave the gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the gospel message to a few trite statements to be repeated, and view conversion as a mere human decision. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion, Paul Washer challenges such easy believism as he examines the real meaning of things like faith, repentance, and receiving Christ. He also deals extensively with the effects of saving grace that God promises in the new covenant; namely, the creation of new hearts and new people.”
Compassionate Jesus: Rethinking the Christian’s Approach to Modern Medicine by Christopher Bogosh “In an age of scientific advancement and specialization, many Christians turn to medical professionals to direct them in stewardship of their bodies. While in many ways the advancements of medical science are a blessing, they are also largely driven by a secular mindset that, though it appears compassionate and to proclaim hope, is actually often subversive of genuine compassion and our hope in Christ. In Compassionate Jesus, Christopher Bogosh calls Christians to examine the pervasive ‘prolong life at all costs’ mentality against biblical principles of care and compassion that are rooted in Christ. This is a call to enter into medical situations trusting in God’s sovereign care and the power of prayer. It is hoped that this book will begin a long-needed discussion among Christians about how we relate to modern medicine, encouraging us to allow the gospel to inform the way we engage the healthcare system.”
Anselm of Canterbury by Simonetta Carr (Christian Biographies for Young Readers) “While he would have preferred the simple, quiet life of the monastery-teaching, reading, thinking, and writing about God-Anselm of Canterbury spent much of his life dealing with powerful kings, consulting with popes, and serving reluctantly as archbishop of Canterbury. Through Anselm’s story, Simonetta Carr teaches what life was like in medieval Western Europe. Young readers will learn of the tempestuous relationship between church and state during this era and the significance of Anselm’s writings about why God became man and the relationship between faith and reason.”
The Beauty and Glory of the Father edited by Joel R. Beeke. This is the third collection of essays on the Trinity. Contributors: Bart Elshout, Jerry Bilkes, Derek Thomas, William VanDoodewaard, Paul Smalley, Joel Beeke, David Murray, Burk Parsons, and Ryan McGraw.
A Labor of Love: Puritan Pastoral Priorities by Stephen J. Yuille “Driven by the desire to be successful, pastors are tempted to judge their ministries by the worldly standards of power, prestige, privilege, and prosperity. In contrast, J. Stephen Yuille reorients our understanding of pastoral ministry by presenting a standard of excellence measured by faithfulness, humility, and submission to God-even when the results look unsuccessful in the eyes of the world. Drawing from the Puritan minister George Swinnock, Yuille expands on a list of sixteen heartfelt desires that Swinnock expressed for his own pastoral ministry. Yuille’s reflections on these timeless priorities are full of biblical insights and pastoral wisdom. The book ends with Swinnock’s farewell sermon to his congregation, which serves as an encouraging example for all pastors who desire to love their people in Christ. This book is a valuable guide for pastors as they seek to labor and love in the service of Christ.”
