Great Commission spirituality must first emerge from a hearty trust in the Triune God, and then it should grow out of and bear fruit from the power of the Word of Christ. It should result in a restful, glad-hearted contentment in God, and it therefore labors freely and gratefully to the glory of God and the salvation of the nations. Great Commission spirituality is a subset of classical evangelical spirituality.

The command of Paul, “Remember Jesus Christ,” is a call to embrace the message and the authority of the entire canon of Scripture. This three-word admonition leads us to see the purpose of God in creation, the desperate need for redemption, and the single person in whom purpose and redemption come together. The eternal benefits of such remembering and the deadly results of forgetting drive the contents of this book.

In Praise Is His Gracious Choice, Dr. Tom Nettles clearly and succinctly demonstrates that true biblical worship originates with God, not man. [...] This thoroughly biblical and theologically robust work is vital in fostering continued reformation within the church to bring all worship that would be God-centered, Christ-exalting, and Spirit-led into conformity with the truth of Scripture. Dustin Benge Provost and Professor of Historical and Pastoral Theology at Union School of Theology, Bridgend and Oxford, UK.

The whole Bible tells the story of redemption—the story of God’s redeeming grace in the person and work of Jesus Christ. From Old Testament to New Testament the point of Scripture is to reveal God’s salvation of sinners through Jesus Christ. That is why the goal of this book for this Advent is to take a brief flyover of the entire Bible. My prayer is that through this overview our faith can be strengthened and our resolve can be renewed in the truth that the Bible is one grand narrative showcasing God’s glory and His plan of redemption through the person and work of His Son, Jesus Christ.

The pro-life establishment insisted to their Christian and conservative supporters over the course of several decades that Roe was the main factor preventing them from ending abortion in the United States. Yet even after Dobbs, abortion rates not only started to rise in predominantly Democratic states, but also in predominantly Republican states where the pro-life establishment has massive political influence, especially because of a trend toward self-managed abortions.

In the nineteenth century it was not unusual for pastors to produce "manuals" of doctrine for the edification of their flocks. Be Sure What You Believe is in that tradition. The great doctrines of the Bible are discussed with pastoral concern, and are presented with a minimum of academic language. This book can be given to Christians who desire to grow in understanding the teaching of the scriptures, and to seekers as well.

In our current day, lawlessness seems to rule. For too long we have ignored God’s gracious means for having an orderly society and have rejected the power of God's law. This book recovers a vital yet neglected doctrine, the second use of God's moral law, as a means of restraining evil, upholding justice, and preserving order in a fallen world. Rooted in Scripture, historic Baptist confessions, and the wider Protestant tradition, it makes a clear case: God’s law still matters—not just in His church, but in His world.

To obtain them Alexis must journey to a realm where the fabled creatures from Grandpa's folktales are alive in the flesh (and often flesh-eating).

Le sujet premier de cette nouvelle traite des mutations possibles de notre système de société, plus précisément du système capitaliste dans lequel nous vivons, face à l’implémentation des intelligences artificielles et de l’avènement des robots humanoïdes. J’ai essayé de dépeindre, dans cette histoire, des visions possibles de ce qui pourrait advenir, en créant des modèles de société contradictoires, voire antagonistes et d’autres hybrides. Dans ce livre, les robots ne rêvent pas, mais sont plutôt des extensions de la conscience ou l’ambition des hommes.
