JOHN PIPER

Think The Life of the Mind and the Love of God (Paperback and Audio Editions) John Piper offers a pastor’s perspective on the life of the mind in his challenge to the church to think hard for the glory of God. This book will help Christians think about thinking. Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him more, and care for the world. Along with an emphasis on emotions and the experience of God, we also need to practice careful thinking about God. Piper contends that “thinking is indispensable on the path to passion for God.” So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and heart, thinking and feeling?

Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking.

Now available in paperback and as a four-disc audio book.

JOHN PIPER is pastor for preaching and vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. He has authored numerous books, including Desiring God, Don’t Waste Your Life, This Momentary Marriage, and A Sweet and Bitter Providence.

SAM STORMS AND JUSTIN TAYLOR, EDITORS

For the Fame of God’s Name Essays in Honor of John Piper This tribute to John Piper compiles essays from colleagues written on important themes of his ministry.

John Piper has had a profound impact on countless men and women over thirty years of ministry. From his online ministry with Desiring God to his preaching ministry at Bethlehem Baptist to his writing ministry in over thirty books, his faithful service has encouraged and challenged many with God’s Word.

Piper’s influence does not stem from his own abilities and accomplishments, but finds its source in his consistent and humble leading of others to Scripture, where the breathtaking glory of God is displayed in all its wonder. We rejoice and are changed as we encounter glorious truths about God in Piper’s ministry.

It is in this spirit that friends and colleagues of Piper, including Wayne Grudem, D. A. Carson, Randy Alcorn, and others, honor him by presenting essays covering topics central to his ministry: prayer, the sovereignty of God, justification, Jonathan Edwards, Christian Hedonism, and more.

Pastors, scholars, and lay leaders will benefit from this tribute to a man who has labored so faithfully for the fame of God’s name.

JOHN PIPER AND D. A. CARSON, EDITED BY OWEN STRACHAN AND DAVID MATHIS

The Pastor as Scholar and the Scholar as Pastor Reflections on Life and Ministry Piper and Carson explore the interrelated roles of pastoral ministry and scholarship in their lives.

Following the 2009 Gospel Coalition conference John Piper and D. A. Carson presented two talks at Park Community Church in Chicago, IL, sponsored by the Henry Institute at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

The topic of their presentation was on the relationship of scholarship and pastoral ministry. Piper centered on the importance of scholarship and academic pursuits in his role as pastor. Carson, conversely, focused on the importance of pastoral ministry in his career as scholar. The event was enthusiastically received and brought great insight and balance.

Now their talks have been edited with additional content and put into book form. Weaving testimony and teaching, Piper and Carson challenge all those in ministry to think carefully and holistically about their calling. An introduction by Owen Strachan and a conclusion by David Mathis provide context and application to these unique messages.

A valuable insider perspective from two men who have been acclaimed for their sharp thinking and pastoral hearts.

JOHN PIPER

Don’t Waste Your Cancer John Piper writes on the eve of his own cancer surgery to help others with cancer, as well as their friends and family.

How are we as Christians called to respond when cancer invades our lives, whether our own bodies or those of our friends and family?

On the eve of his own cancer surgery, John Piper writes about cancer as an opportunity to glorify God. With pastoral sensitivity, compassion, and strength, Piper gently but firmly acknowledges that we can indeed waste our cancer when we don’t see how it is God’s good plan for us and a hope-filled path for making much of Jesus.

Don’t Waste Your Cancer is for anyone touched by a life-threatening illness. It first appeared as an appendix in Suffering and the Sovereignty of God. Repackaged and republished, it will serve as a hope-giving resource for healthcare workers, pastors, counselors, and others caring for those with cancer and other serious illnesses.

C. JOHN COLLINS

Did Adam and Eve Really Exist?

Who They Were and Why You Should Care Examines the biblical-theological evidence for a real Adam and Eve and asserts their importance for modern life.

“We need a real Adam and Eve if we are to make sense of the Bible and of life,” argues C. John Collins. Examining the biblical storyline as the worldview story of the people of God, Collins shows how that story presupposes a real Adam and Eve and how the modern experience of life points to the same conclusion.

Applying well-informed critical thinking to common theological and scientific questions, Collins asserts the importance of a real man at the beginning in God’s plan for creation, a plan that requires “redemption” for all people since sin entered the world.

Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? addresses both biblical and Jewish texts and contains extensive appendices to examine how the material in Genesis relates to similar material from Mesopotamian myths.

Collins’s detailed analysis of the relevant texts will instill confidence in readers that the traditional Christian story equips them better than any alternatives to engage the life that they actually encounter in the modern world.

ELYSE M. FITZPATRICK AND JESSICA THOMPSON

Give Them Grace Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus (Foreword by Tullian Tchividjian) A guide to help Christians parent their children with grace and an emphasis on the cross.

How are parents to raise children so they don’t become Pharisees (legalists) or prodigals (rebels)? It’s all about grace-filled, gospel-driven parenting, says the mother/daughter team of Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson. Christian parents, in their desire to raise godly children, can drift toward rule-centered discipline. There is, however, a far more effective method—a grace-motivated approach that begins with the glorious truth of God’s love for sinners.

In Give Them Grace, parents will learn how to connect the benefits of the cross—especially regeneration, adoption, and justification—to their children’s daily lives. Chapters address topics such as our inability to follow the law perfectly, God’s forgiveness and love displayed at the cross, and what true heart obedience looks like. Fitzpatrick and Thompson also discuss discipline, dealing with popular culture, and evangelism as a way of life. Parents will find this book a great resource for raising grace-filled, Jesus-loving kids.

ELYSE M. FITZPATRICK is author of more than fifteen books on biblical counseling, family, and the Christian life, including Because He Loves Me. JESSICA THOMPSON is a member of an Acts 29 church and has been homeschooling for the past two years. She is married and has three children.

STEPHEN ALTROGGE

The Greener Grass Conspiracy Finding Contentment on Your Side of the Fence This book outlines the conspiracy of discontentment and shows readers the centrality of the gospel in the battle for their happiness.

There is a cosmic conspiracy affecting every person who has ever lived.

The world, our hearts, and Satan himself conspire to steal our happiness.

These powerful agents breed discontentment with our possessions, relationships, jobs, and circumstances.

Altrogge writes from his own experience. He argues that while discontentment assaults us from every direction, its promises are empty. “If only’s” may offer happiness, satisfaction, or a better life, but on their own they can’t deliver.

With humor and honesty, Altrogge helps us do battle with discontentment by steering us back to the central truths of the gospel. He addresses issues like complaining and idolatry and reminds us of all that we have, and will have, in Christ. Readers will be drawn to his winsome writing and practical application. Discussion questions follow each chapter, making this book a useful resource for small groups.

TIM CHESTER

A Meal with Jesus Discovering Grace, Community, and Mission around the Table Series: Re:Lit Drawing from six narratives in the Gospel of Luke, Chester shows how meals can be opportunities for serving others.

Meals have always been important across societies and cultures, a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Author Tim Chester sums it up: “Food connects.”

Chester argues that meals are also deeply theological—an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that the book of Luke is full of stories of Jesus at meals. These accounts lay out biblical principles. Chester notes, “The meals of Jesus represent something bigger.” Six chapters in A Meal with Jesus show how they enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation, and promise.

Moving from biblical times to the modern world, Chester applies biblical truth to challenge our contemporary understandings of hospitality.

He urges sacrificial giving and loving around the table, helping readers consider how meals can be about serving others and sharing the grace of Christ.

TIM CHESTER (PhD, University of Wales) is co-director of the Porterbrook Network, which equips individuals and churches to rediscover mission, and director of the Northern Training Institute, which provides integrated theological and missional training for church leaders. He is co-author of Total Church and author of You Can Change.

RANDY NEWMAN

Bringing the Gospel Home Witnessing to Family Members, Close Friends, and Others Who Know You Well Delivers holistic strategies for sharing the gospel with loved ones.

Sharing the gospel with a family member can be an exciting experience—and often a long, painful, and confrontational one. Randy Newman recognizes it can be more difficult and frustrating to witness to a family member than to nearly anyone else. In Bringing the Gospel Home, he delivers practical, holistic strategies to help average Christians engage family members and others on topics of faith.

A messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ, Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they evangelize.

He writes, “a richer understanding of biblical truth, I have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and clear communication.” After a brief introduction on the nature of family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility, and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and end-of-life conversations. Bringing the Gospel Home will help any Christian as he seeks to guide loved ones into God’s family.

BRYAN M. LITFIN

The Gift A Novel Series: Chiveis Trilogy This second book in the Chiveis Trilogy continues the search for the New Testament in a world where the Bible has been lost.

The Chiveis Trilogy takes readers hundreds of years into the future. War and disease have destroyed civilization as we know it. Slowly, the few survivors have begun to build new communities, and kingdoms now prosper in a kind of feudal order. But the Word of God has been lost for centuries.

After the finding of an Old Testament in book one of the trilogy, The Gift picks up the story of Teo and Ana. Exiled from their homeland and trying to survive in unknown and dangerous lands, they search for any record of the missing Testament. Their journeys lead them into the region we know as Italy. An elite society welcomes Ana, who finds she must choose between her new life and her dream of returning to Chiveis. Will Teo and Ana’s relationship withstand the circumstances and new enemies pulling them apart? And can Teo keep ahead of a powerful and mysterious force opposing his search for the New Testament?

Litfin’s imagination and fast-paced narrative style will capture the hearts and minds of all fiction readers.

BRYAN M. LITFIN is the author of The Sword, book one of the Chiveis Trilogy, as well as Getting To Know the Church Fathers. He is associate professor of theology at Moody Bible Institute. He and his wife, Carolyn, have two children.

Note to Self The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself Series: Re:Lit Shows readers how to preach to themselves, and why it’s important to do so daily.

We need good preaching—preaching that challenges us by God’s Word and brings the comfort that comes from God’s promises. Yet many of us rely solely on others to preach to us and are not benefitting from the kind of preaching that should be most consistent and personal—preaching to ourselves.

Note to Self is a practical introduction to this daily discipline. Pastor Joe Thorn delivers fifty brief, devotional chapters that model preaching the gospel to ourselves and its practical implications. Readers will be challenged by the book’s direct, personal exhortations to apply the law and the gospel to their own lives. Part of the Re:Lit series.

D. A. CARSON

Evangelicalism What Is It and Is It Worth Keeping?

A noted evangelical scholar presents a biblical/theological definition of evangelicalism that is rooted in the New Testament’s description of the gospel and that retains its relevance today.

What defines today’s evangelicals? Are they people who fit an empirical, social-science profile? Have historical roots in the Reformation?

Hold to certain theological priorities or fall within particular parameters? Is the term evangelical even useful anymore?

D. A. Carson responds to all of these questions and more in Evangelicalism. Carson defines and upacks the term, advocating a biblical/theological foundation that is built on the description of the gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15. First establishing that evangelicalism is Christological, biblical, historical, theological, apostolic, heraldic, and personal, he proceeds to demonstrate its continuing relevance and our need for its scripturally defined boundaries. Carson then critiques Mark Noll’s book Is the Reformation Over? and draws examples from Catholic doctrine, Christian experience, and modern scholarship to illustrate that the issues at stake in the Reformation are not settled.

Carson’s book will be welcomed by readers concerned about the future of evangelicalism and thinking about evangelicalism’s place in today’s religious forums.

D. A. CARSON (PhD, Cambridge University) is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he has taught since 1978. A former pastor and itinerant minister, Carson is an active guest lecturer in academic and church settings around the world and has authored or edited more than forty-five books.

CHRISTOPHER W. MORGAN AND ROBERT A. PETERSON, EDITORS

The Deity of Christ Series: Theology in Community This multi-disciplinary treatment of the deity of Christ weds rich theological insight with practical application to underscore the centrality and urgency of this crucial doctrine.

The biblical teaching about the deity of Christ is a precious truth and foundational to the Christian faith. It has been called “the most distinctively Christian doctrine of all”—one that must be taught and preserved.

With this in mind, Robert Peterson, Christopher Morgan, Andreas Köstenberger, Steve Wellum, Gerald Bray, Alan Gomes, Ray Ortlund Jr., Stephen Nichols, and J. Nelson Jennings have collaborated to develop a theology of Christ’s divinity across multiple disciplines. Combining firstrate evangelical scholarship with rich application, their work examines this central doctrine from contemporary, historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and missional perspectives.

This third volume in the noted Theology in Community series guides readers to the significance of Christ’s deity across the Old and New Testaments, in Johannine literature, in popular culture and church history, and among cults and world religions. With its keen theological insight and straightforward application, this volume will give pastors, students, and educated readers a clear and useful treatment of the deity of Christ.

PHILIP RYKEN AND MICHAEL LEFEBVRE

Our Triune God Living in the Love of the Three-in-One Provides a pastor’s perspective for a fuller understanding of the saving, mysterious, practical, and glorious Trinity.

How are we to relate to a three-personed God? The idea of the Trinity may initially seem too abstract to understand, but the truth is that a deeper knowledge of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit has daily importance. Convinced that many Christians “have some level of awareness that God is triune . . . [but] are virtually Unitarian,” the authors have written a practical and theologically robust resource to help readers grow closer to the Triune God. Philip Ryken and Michael LeFebvre examine the doctrine of the Trinity in four parts. They explain the roles of the Father, Son, and Spirit in salvation; answer difficult questions about the Trinity; explore the believer’s relationship to each person of the Trinity; and provide an exposition of the various Gospel narratives depicting how the three persons of the Trinity work together to accomplish the redemptive purposes of God. Their careful treatment of these central truths captures important implications for the Christian life.

Our Triune God is a helpful guide for Christians wanting to deepen their faith and for pastors as they shepherd their congregations toward a richer love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

PHILIP RYKEN (DPhil, University of Oxford) is president of Wheaton College. Previously he served as senior minister at the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia.

He is the author of numerous books.

SINCLAIR FERGUSON

The Grace of Repentance (Redesign) Provides a biblical definition of repentance and outlines implications for evangelical churches.

Out of the Protestant Reformation came several important doctrines, including a renewed understanding of repentance. Instead of viewing repentance as a one-time confession, the reformers began to teach what the Bible teaches—that it is both radical and perpetual.

Many evangelical churches are sorely lacking in a proper theological understanding of repentance. Sinclair Ferguson combats this trend by pointing us toward the Bible’s teaching on repentance. This is an important book for everyone who wants the grace of repentance in evangelical churches.

ALISTAIR BEGG

Preaching for God’s Glory (Redesign) Alistair Begg instructs pastors and lay people as he defines Bible-based preaching.

Every Christian, from the pastor to the newest believer, is to study the Scriptures and learn to handle the Word of God correctly. Yet far too many congregations are being fed sweet but empty words that leave them spiritually malnourished and ill-prepared to stand firm in their faith.

Alistair Begg calls for a fresh commitment to biblical preaching in this newly formatted rerelease. Drawing on his thirty-five years of pastoral ministry and the lessons of great preachers, Begg defines Bible-based preaching and outlines its practical implications within a local church.

SAM CRABTREE

Practicing Affirmation This book helps readers strengthen communication and relationships through the practice of God-centered affirmation.

It happens in marriages, parent-child relationships, friendships, workplaces, and churches: Communication falters, friendships wane, teenagers withdraw, marriages fail, and bitter rifts sever once-strong ties.

Christian communities are no exception. Why do so many of our relationships suffer from alienation, indifference, and even hostility?

Author Sam Crabtree believes that often at the heart of these breakdowns is a lack of affirmation. He observes in Scripture that God grants mercy to those who refresh others, and in life that people tend to be influenced by those who praise them. Crabtree shows how a robust “God-centered affirmation ratio” refreshes others and honors God. Practicing Affirmation sounds a call to recognize and affirm the character of Christ in others. When done well, affirmation does not fuel pride in the person, but refreshes them and honors God. All who are discouraged in relationships will find wisdom and practical insight in this book.

SAM CRABTREE (MA, South Dakota State), is a former public school teacher and has served as executive pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis since 1997. He is also lead pastor for life training, serving as the “vision keeper” of the church.

RICHARD D. PHILLIPS

ANDREW M. DAVIS

In today’s postmodern world truth is increasingly difficult to define and defend. In this booklet Richard D. Phillips answers the question, “can we know the truth?” He points us to the Bible as the revelation of God’s character and design for our lives. Refuting postmodern objections, he explains the role of truth in the Christian life, and demonstrates what truth put into practice looks like. Phillips is senior minister of Second Presbyterian Church in Greenville, South Carolina.

Andrew Davis summarizes the Bible’s teaching on creation.

He traces the creation of the world and humanity through the first two chapters of Genesis, emphasizing that all things were created to display God’s glory. He moves into the tragic consequences of the Fall and points us to the glorious truth of the eventual New Creation. Davis is senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Durham, North Carolina.

The Church: God’s New People TIMOTHY SAVAGE The church of Jesus Christ is the locus of God’s plan for creation—a plan to reclaim all things for his glory. This booklet examines hallmarks of the universal church, including unity and love toward God and man, giving practical shape to each characteristic as it is manifested in the local body. Timothy Savage shows how it is within this corporate body that the larger dimensions of God’s plan for creation receive breathtaking definition. Savage is senior pastor of Camelback Bible Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

VERN S. POYTHRESS

Redeeming Sociology A God-Centered Approach A biblical framework for considering the foundation of human relationships, leading to a rethinking of the discipline of sociology.

Interpersonal relationships are possible for humans because we are created in the image of a Trinitarian God. But if the Trinity is our model for relationships, why is the human condition rife with pain and evil? How are we to think correctly about fallen human relationships?

Redeeming Sociology advocates a biblically informed model for human relationships—relationships rooted in the Trinitarian character of God, his governance of the world, and his redemption accomplished in Christ. Poythress examines how the breaking of relationships through sin leads to strife, murder, and oppression among human beings and sets cultures against one another. And he shows how these broken relationships are restored through the outworking of redemption in Christ.

Though typical sociological models for interpersonal relationships may offer some valuable insights, they are handicapped by a fundamental misunderstanding of humanity. The biblical model that Poythress presents correctly diagnoses the problem of human relationships, so it can likewise prescribe a biblical solution that infuses new meaning and power into how we relate to others made in the image of God.

R. C. SPROUL

1-2 Peter Series: St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary This St. Andrews Expositional Commentary is a compilation of R. C. Sproul’s sermons on 1–2 Peter.

Peter wrote two letters to encourage churches to stand firm under persecution. The apostle Peter himself was familiar with persecution, as he probably wrote the letters from Rome, awaiting his death. From his own suffering Peter joins in fellowship with “elect exiles of the dispersion” by urging them to “rejoice, though now for a little while . . . you have been grieved by various trials.” His inspired challenges to live a life worthy of the gospel hold great relevance for us today.

Pastor and scholar R. C. Sproul has preached through Peter’s letters and has now compiled these sermons into one volume. This commentary will enable readers to glean from Sproul’s wisdom and perspective on 1–2 Peter.

The St. Andrew’s Expositional Commentary series is the result of years of careful preparation and Bible-centered preaching. Delivered from a pastor’s heart for his congregation, readers will find this volume readable, applicable, appropriately paced, and thoroughly biblical. Here is an opportunity to sit at the feet of an eminent scholar and teacher, encountering the Word of God. Volumes on John, Acts, and Romans have already appeared.

R. C. SPROUL serves as senior minister of preaching and teaching at Saint Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, FL, and is the founder and president of Ligonier Ministries. He has taught at numerous colleges and seminaries, has written over sixty books, and is featured daily on Renewing Your Mind, an international radio broadcast.

1 & 2 Thessalonians The Hope of Salvation Series: Preaching the Word This Preaching the Word commentary delivers careful exposition of 1 & 2 Thessalonians, highlighting how we are to live in light of Christ’s second coming.

Paul wrote to the church in Thessalonica to encourage them to live in the light of the gospel. In his two letters he addresses a number of topics, including the persecution they were enduring, the second coming of Christ, and how they were to live in the present times. While the letters were written nearly two thousand years ago, pastor James H. Grant Jr. insists that Paul’s audience includes us as well as the Thessalonians.

Grant applies Paul’s message to contemporary churches by moving expositionally through 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Twenty-five sermons examine each passage of the books as the gospel and its implications are unpacked in light of Christ’s second coming.

1 & 2 Thessalonians is a Preaching the Word commentary. The series is noted for its unqualified commitment to biblical authority, clear exposition of Scripture, readability, and practical application. It is an ideal resource for pastors and teachers, as well as for personal Bible study.
