Amazing Love! How Can It Be
The present collection of essays examines specific texts by Charles Wesley in multiple dimensions (theological, poetical, historical, biographical, etc.), demonstrating both the profound nature of the hymns and their continued relevance for Christians today. The discussions are organized by theological/liturgical topics, and each essay treats us to the hymn in its complete original form (noting significant variants as necessary), explains the historical context of its composition, provides a theological interpretation, and relates it to the life and faith of the believer. In the pages of this book, the reader will find both information and inspiration. Scholars of hymnody and of Charles Wesl...
Taking Hold of God
Six contemporary scholars explore the writings and prayer lives of several Reformers and Puritans. --from publisher description.
Martin Luther
Famous for setting in motion the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther is often lifted high as a hero or condemned as a rebel. But underneath it all, he was a man of flesh and blood, with a deep longing to live for God. This biography by respected Reformation scholar Herman Selderhuis captures Luther in his original context and follows him on his spiritual journey, from childhood through the Reformation to his influential later years. Combining Luther's own words with engaging narrative designed to draw the reader into Luther's world, this spiritual biography brings to life the complex and dynamic personality that forever changed the history of the church.
Godly Prayer and Its Answers
Godly Prayer and Its Answers is an extended meditation upon Christ’s promise in John 14:13–14, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” However, in the process of touching upon everything stated and implied in the text, Brown produces a full and complete treatment of the doctrine of prayer in a manner calculated to promote the exercise of faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul's Spirituality in Galatians
Spirituality is a hot topic in today's culture. Spirituality is essentially how one's beliefs and experiences influence the way one lives their life. Such influences for living are of critical importance to one's faith within the Christian community. What role does the Bible play in developing an expressed spirituality among the Christian community? How do one's religious traditions, cultural influences, and personal preferences influence the way Christian spirituality is perceived and expressed? All too often, and at times unintentionally, the foundational truths of the Bible are subordinated to tradition, culture, and personal preference. This book provides a context for understanding Paul's foundational components for Christian spirituality within the book of Galatians while showing how an accurate understanding of these components can and should serve as a corrective lens to various aspects of Christian spirituality as expressed and experienced today.
The Very Heart of Prayer
Dr. JOEL R. BEEKE, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan writes: "Brian Najapfour helps us to see John Bunyan with new eyes. Some scholars have seen Bunyan primarily as a sectary, a theological radical outside of established and traditional Reformed Christianity in England. Popularly Bunyan is known as the author of books of Christian piety, especially Pilgrim's Progress. Najapfour advances a well-researched thesis that Bunyan was in fact a sectarian Puritan. While Bunyan was not a Puritan in the sense of a reformer within the Church of England, Najapfour demonstrates that Bunyan embraced a Reformed and Puritan spirituality-godliness empowered by biblical truth. Not only does Najapfour bridge the gap between scholarly and pious readings of Bunyan, but he also explores Bunyan's view of prayer, the Holy Spirit, and godliness in a way that enriches our minds and souls."

Who Is This God
The Bible tells us God is loving and kind. He sent his only Son, Jesus, to save the world from sin. But is God really loving and kind? How do we understand the seeming cruelty of God, who asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac? How do we understand a seemingly unjust God, who accepted Abel’s offering, but rejected Cain’s? Is this the God who loves us? How can we love and trust such a God? Does God care what happens to us? Are Nations under his control? What happens to a Nation that turns its back on God? Are there signs of a falling Nation? There are answers to these questions, and more. Stories from the Old Testament of what looks like God’s cruelty and unjustness on the surface ar...
