Praying by J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom is, to put it bluntly, quite superb. Written with the theological passion to be expected from Packer, and with the delightful prose of Carolyn Nystrom, it is destined to become a standard work on the subject. `Praying’ the authors state `is an action’ and in this book [...]
Author: Joshua Harris
Reflecting our consumer culture, many Christians are church shoppers and hoppers. Is this God’s will for our communities and our lives? Aware of the hang-ups and blemishes that inhibit many from commitment to a local church, Harris recalls believers to see the church as God sees her: a radiant bride whom he loves [...]
Author: John Frame
Frame offers a cogent and compelling critique of open theism in this helpful and well-written volume. Central to open theism are the following affirmations: (1) God cannot know the future (i.e., God is not omniscient); (2) God does not foreordain whatsoever comes to pass (i.e., God is not sovereign); (3) God genuinely changes [...]

Author: Graeme Goldsworthy
Goldsworthy again brings his uniquely biblical insight to a central aspect of Christian life.

How does Old Testament teaching apply to today’s ethical issues? The author of Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament again enriches our understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures by demonstrating their continued significance to issues such as ecology, politics, economics, justice and law. Thoroughly biblical and Christ-centered, Wright highlights the major trajectories [...]
Is Reformed theology doomed to an intellectual ghetto? Horton’s Lord and Servant answers with a resounding, “No!” Resisting the fragmentation of theological disciplines, Horton holds together biblical theology and systematics as he explores topics in theology proper, anthropology, and Christology. Covenantal theology provides the guiding perspective as Horton draws from the rich Christian tradition to [...]
Author: Michael Williams
Dispensationalism exercises such profound influence throughout American Christianity that many do not realize how much it permeates the theological air they breathe. This World Is Not My Home delves into the thought of the two most influential dispensationalist writers: C. I. Scofield and Lewis Sperry Chafer. Melding explanation and critique, Williams sympathetically demonstrates [...]
Author: R. C. Sproul
A Taste of Heaven is vintage Sproul: lucid, biblical, compelling. Just as he has done for Reformed theology more broadly, Sproul sets his sights on the topic of worship and recovers important aspects of biblical and Reformation teaching for the church today. - Matthew Harmon, Westminster Bookstore Staff
