DOCTRINAL

Baptism, Election & the Covenant of Grace

Jesus Loves the Little Children

Dr. R. Scott Clark

Of all the doctrines and practices of historic Christian churches, whether Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Reformed, the baptism of children can be one of the most difficult, especially for those who grew up in non-denominational Protestant churches where infant baptism was not practiced. Dr. Michael Horton of Westminster Seminary California comments: “Well-informed and immensely practical, this is the book that I will recommend first when parents ask, why should I baptize my child?”

On the face of it, the Reformed understanding of our Lord’s command to make disciples and to baptize them and their children seem clear.

Here, Dr. Clark presents his view of Federal Vision and the dangers it presents to the Reformed faith.

Federal Vision Dr. Wes Bredenhof Many of the churches with membership in the North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council (NAPARC) have condemned Federal Vision theology. In this booklet, former Canadian Reformed pastor Wes Bredenhof presents the view that Federal Vision falls outside the bounds of the Three Forms of Unity.

Esther

A Colorful Past

Rev. Norman DeJong

Rev. William Boekestein

De Jong reveals not only the unexpected and surprising workings of Divine providence for God’s people in dark captivity back then, but also for the church living in a pitch-black culture on this side of the Cross. Discussion questions follow each chapter to facilitate a reader’s or group’s mindful processing and heartfelt appropriation of each movement in this enthralling episode of Redemptive History.

This coloring book introduces children to important characters from church history, focusing on at least one person per century. This basic timeline illustrates how God has woven deeply flawed characters into a single living story. And this story is not over. As children color these pages and see God’s unfolding plan in church history, pray they will learn to praise God for the wonderful works that He has done.
