It is no surprise that as the Christian life is chiefly characterized by faith and repentance, the Christian‘s struggles are largely with manifestations of doubt and fear. Unfortunately, these enemies of Christianity have wounded the character and weakened the comfort of many children of God. In Christ Our Rest, David Pitcairn exposes the sad prevalence and the destructive influence of doubts among Christians, and traces them to their various causes. He writes each of his sixteen chapters as letters addressed to a dear friend, mixing scriptural exposition with tender encouragement and exhortation. He presents the gospel, both in its doctrines and in its privileges, so that the faith of the doubtful may find strength and believers may have their attention continually directed to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Pitcairn masterfully highlights the fullness and freeness of Christ‘s work as the only source of a satisfying rest for the soul. Author David Pitcairn (d. 1870) served as minister of Evie and Rendall, in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. 5 CONTAGIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING Joel Beeke Price: $6.50 Product Description When some people smile, they ignite smiles in people around them. They have contagious smiles. If that‘s what a contagious smile is, what is contagious Christian living? It is living that is so godly and so consistent that people around them cannot help but be impacted and inspired. In Contagious Christian Living, Joel R. Beeke looks at four people in the Bible to find out how people today can live an influential life in dependence on the Holy Spirit. Here is your invitation to read about, and pray for, the sacrificial submission of Jephthah‘s daughter, the Christ-centeredness of Bartimaeus, the contagious blessings of Jacob, and the consistent integrity of Daniel. Author Joel R. Beeke is president of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, a minister of the Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as well as an international conference speaker and author of numerous books. GRACE: THE TRUTH, GROWTH AND DIFFERENT DEGREES Christopher Love Price: $16.00 Product Description This extensive work on grace contains fifteen of Love‘s sermons. The following subjects are addressed: the beginnings of grace, the least measure of true grace, God‘s notice of grace in His people, labouring in 6 grace, the marks of strong Christians, strong temptations and strong grace, the comforts of grace, and applications. Author Christopher Love was born in Cardiff, Wales. He attended New Inn Hall, Oxford, and graduated in 1635. A staunch Presbyterian, Love had difficulty gaining ordination in the Church of England. He was offered ordination in Scotland if he would pastor a church there, but he was desirous of ministering in England. He did receive the ordination in England he so desired. Before he assumed the pastorate of St. Lawrence Jewry in London, Love catechized and taught theology to the children of the sheriff of London, and it was while living in that home that he met his wife, Mary Stone. They had five children, two girls who died early in life, and three boys, the last one was born a week after Love's death.

  • The Problem of Israel
    The Problem of Israel I. A Historical & Political Perspective By Rev. Bassam M. Madany Middle East Resources www.unashamedofthegospel.org By May 15, 2008, the State of Israel would have reached its sixtieth year of existence. Throughout all that time it has seldom enjoyed a day of peace. Its neighbors have fought the very idea of a Jewish state within what they consider to be an exclusive domain of Islam. In this article, I would like to deal with the “Problem of Israel” from two distinct but related perspectives, the “Historical and Political”, and the “Biblical and Theological.” During the last week of November, 2007, the Annapolis Peace Conference began its sessions with opening speeches from President Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Olmert, and President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. I don’t intend to comment on the conference, as many experts have already made their points. My concern is to point to the root cause of the Problem, namely Islam. When the Ottoman Empire lost its hold on the Middle East in the aftermath of WWI, two Europeans powers tried to fill the vacuum. Britain and France got a mandate from the League of Nations to “lead” the nations of the area to political maturity and independence. France received the mandate over Syria and Lebanon; while Britain was burdened with a mandate over Palestine and Transjordan. The Arab population of Palestine had hoped for complete independence within a larger Arab state, comprised of what is known as the Greater Syria. On the other hand, the Jewish population in Palestine looked forward to the establishment of a “Jewish Home” in the Holy land.

  • The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah Alfred Edersheim 1883
    The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah Alfred Edersheim 1883 Appendix 1 PSEUDEPIGRAPHIC WRITINGS ONLY the briefest account of these can be given in this place; barely more than an enumeration. I. The Book of Enoch. - As the contents and the literature of this remarkable book, which is quoted by St. Jude (vv. 14, 15), have been fully described in Dr. Smith's and Wace's Dictionary of Christian Biography (vol. ii. pp. 124-128), we may here refer to it the more shortly. It comes to us from Palestine, but has only been preserved in an Ethiopic translation (published by Archbishop Laurence [Oxford, 1838; in English transl. 3rd ed. 1821-1838; German transl. by A. G. Hoffmann], then from five different MSS. by Professor Dillmann [Leipzig, 1851; in German transl. Leipzig, 1853]). But even the Ethiopic translation is not from the original Hebrew or Aramaic, but from a Greek version, of which a small fragment has been discovered (ch. lxxxix. 42-49; published by Cardinal Mai. Comp. also Gildemeister, Zeitschr. d. D. Morg. Ges. for 1855, pp. 621-624, and Gebhardt, Merx' Arch. ii. 1872, p. 243). As regards the contents of the work: An Introduction of five brief chapters, and the book (which, however, contains not a few spurious passages) consists of five parts, followed by a suitable Epilogue. The most interesting portions are those which tell of the Fall of the Angels and its consequences, of Enoch's rapt journeys through heaven and earth, and of what he saw and heard (ch. vi.-xxxvi.); the Apocalyptic portions about the Kingdom of Heaven and the Advent of the Messiah (lxxxiii-xci.); and, lastly, the hortatory discourses (xci.-cv.).
