Developing a Healthy Prayer Life: 31 Meditations on Communing with God James W. Beeke and Joel R. Beeke Foreword by Geoff Thomas

Description Is your prayer life characterized by such things as sincerity, urgency, and delight? Engagement in prayer is a vital part of our communion with God, making a profound impact on our growth in grace. In this book, you will find thoughtful meditations on prayer in the life of the believer, as well as ample encouragement to cultivate this spiritual discipline in your own life. If you want to be more devoted to prayer, or simply want to assess the health of your prayer life, read this book. It provides both a helpful examination and a needed tonic for those concerned about growing in godliness.

Endorsements “The ancient formula, ‘the law of praying is the law of believing’ (lex orandi, lex credendi), or, using other words, the way we pray determines what we believe, expresses an important but forgotten truth. To this adage we would add ‘the law of living’ (lex vivendi), that is, the way we pray determines the way we live. The strength of Developing a Healthy Prayer Life is that its 31 studies treat prayer not as an aspect of the Christian life, but as the Christian life itself. The Christian life is a life of humble, submissive, patient, persevering, trusting, thanking, wrestling, waiting, working, reverent, fervent, constant, dependent, contented, and thoughtful praying and living. As we pray, so we live, and as we live, so we pray. We have needed a book that comprehensively, yet simply, teaches us to Paperback, 112 pages pray, not by techniques (though some how-to’s are helpful), but by uniting Page Size: 5 x 7.5 inches prayer in the presence of God with life in the presence of God; that shows ISBN 978-1-60178-112-3 us how dependent and reverent living arises out of dependent and rever- Retail Price: $10.00 ent praying.

“I wish this book providentially had fallen into my hands fifty years ago when I was a young Christian, but now I have it and have profited from it, realizing that its lessons, basic, true, and energizing, are relevant for disciples of the Lord Jesus at every age.” — Ge o f f Th o m a s , from the foreword

A Portrait of Paul: Identifying a True Minister of Christ Rob Ventura and Jeremy Walker Foreword by Joel R. Beeke

Description What does a true pastor look like, and what constitutes a faithful ministry? How can we identify the life and labors of one called by God to serve in the church of Jesus Christ? To address these questions, Rob Ventura and Jeremy Walker examine how the apostle Paul describes his pastoral relation to the people of God in Colossians 1:24–2:5. By discussing these essential attitudes, qualities, and characteristics of a faithful minister of Christ, A Portrait of Paul provides gospel ministers an example of what they should be, and demonstrates for churches the kind of pastors they will seek if they desire men after God’s own heart.

Endorsements “This invaluable study of Paul’s life from Rob Ventura and Jeremy Walker is a wonderful, powerful, soul-stirring examination of Paul’s self- sacrifice and his unfaltering service to the church. It will both motivate and encourage you, especially if you’re facing trials, opposition, or discouragement in your service for Christ.” — Jo h n Ma c Ar t h u r

“With a refreshing contemporary style, and with humble submission to the Scripture, these two ministers have given to us a role model for pastoral life.” — Ge o f f Th o m a s

“This work on the Christian ministry is a clarion call to true devotion and piety in the pastorate. The theology is pure and the language is as powerful as it is beautiful.” — Pa u l Wa s h e r

Paperback, 224 pages “This book is a biblical rebuke to modern trends, a challenge to those Page Size: 6 x 9 inches who think they may be called to the ministry, and a reality check for all ISBN 978-1-60178-090-4 believers everywhere.” — Ca r l R. Tr u e m a n Retail Price: $18.00 RHB Price: $14.00 “Herein is profiled the kind of minister every church so desperately needs and what every true minister should desire to become.” — St e v e n J. La w s o n

“Packed with exposition and application of the finest sort, these pages urge gospel-focused, Christ-centered, God-exalting, Spirit- empowered, self-denying ministry.” — De r e k W. H. Th o m a s

Target Readership • Churches looking for a pastor will find guidance in what a faithful man of God will look like. • Christians looking for a church will find a tool by which they can assess the pastors of the flock in the light of God’s Word, finding men to whom they can commit the care of their souls. • Christians already in a church will be better equipped to pray for their pastors and will further understand what it really means to be shepherded by a man after God’s own heart. • Ministerial students pursuing the work of the ministry will see a picture of a man they should seek to imitate. • Pastors will be encouraged to persevere in the high calling of gospel ministry.

Sing a New Song: Recovering Psalm Singing for the Twenty-First Century Edited by Joel R. Beeke and Anthony Selvaggio Foreword by W. Robert Godfrey

Description The book of Psalms occupies a unique place in Scripture, being both the Word from God and words to God from His people. Unfortunately, psalm singing no longer plays an integral part of worship in most evangelical churches. In this book, thirteen well-respected scholars urge the church to rediscover the treasure of the Psalms as they examine the history of psalm singing in the church, present biblical reasons for the litur- gical practice, and articulate the practical value it provides us today.

Endorsements “This volume explores the rich historical, biblical, theological, and pastoral contexts that inform a commitment to the prayerful use of biblical psalms in Christian worship today. The book challenges those who sing psalms exclusively to understand the strengths of their tradition. It challenges those who sing hymns primarily to reconsider their neglect of the Psalms. Above all, the volume invites all readers to reconsider the beauty of biblically shaped prayer and the astonishing grace offered us by a God who not only calls us to offer worship but also guides and inspires us in learning how to worship.” — Jo h n D. Wi t v l i e t , Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan

“It is sad that much of the contemporary church does not know her own history of worship and how vital the singing of psalms has been to her Paperback, 208 pages worship. This book not only lays out that history but provides biblical, Page Size: 6 x 9 inches theological, and christological reasons that show the benefit of singing ISBN 978-1-60178-105-5 psalms today. A recovery of psalm singing in worship will enable God’s Retail Price: $18.00 people to express themselves fully in worship, not only by singing the RHB Price: $14.00 hymns of praise but also by expressing the sorrows and struggles of life through the laments.

Be l c h e r , Jr., Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina

Word, Water, and spirit: A Reformed Perspective on Baptism J.V. Fesko

ENDoRsEMENTs “Th is book represents a substantial accomplishment, one that provides a useful resource for those wanting to deepen their understanding of the sacraments, particularly baptism. Refl ecting a massive amount of research against the background of an in-depth survey of various views of baptism in church history, Fesko provides an extensive exegetical and biblical-theological study of the covenantal and eschatological signifi - cance of baptism followed by systematic theological refl ections on key issues like baptism as a means of grace, the effi cacy of baptism, the biblical warrant for infant baptism (and against paedocommunion), and the importance of baptism for the church. One need not agree with Dr. Fesko at every point to benefi t from his considerable labors.” — ri c h a r D B. Ga f f i n , Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Th eology, Emeritus, Westminster Th eological Seminary

“On a wide-ranging canvas and with bold strokes, J. V. Fesko gives us a study of baptism which joins a treasury of theological citations with strong theological insights. After a survey of the history of the doctrine, Fesko focuses on the Reformed tradition and its important fi gures and confessions. He indicates the biblical dimensions of the meanings of baptism and provides a positive and constructive statement of its theological truth. Th is is a valuable work for its mastery of primary sources as well as its clear articulation of the covenantal dimensions which give a Reformed theology of baptism such power and purpose for Christian believers.” — Do n a l D k. mcki m , Editor, Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith

Hardcover, 480 pages “J. V. Fesko’s Word, Water, and Spirit is a major work that both models Page Size: 6 x 9 inches how to do theology by moving from historical theology to biblical and ISBN 978-1-60178-101-7 systematic theology and, most importantly, presents fresh insights for a Retail Price: $35.00 Reformed understanding of baptism. Fesko’s fair-minded, page-turning RHB Price:28.00 history of the doctrine of baptism is itself worth the price of the book. Most enlightening, however, is his biblical-theological survey of baptism as new creation, covenant judgment, and eschatological judgment. Th e book’s emphasis on God’s judgment in baptism is particularly innovative and helpful. Th ese insights pave the way for treating baptism systematically as a means of grace and as a sacrament in relation to its recipients and ecclesiology. Highly recommended for all who wish to grapple seriously with the doctrine of baptism and its implications.” — Jo e l r. Be e k e , President, Puritan Reformed Th eological Seminary

Milk and Honey Edited by Joel R. Beeke

Description In the Bible, “milk and honey” speaks of God’s bountiful provision and symbolizes our basic need for solid spiritual food and sweet communion with the triune God through Christ. With that in mind, this devotional book dwells on God’s sustaining grace revealed throughout Scripture. Unlike some daily devotional books that are an assortment of meditations with no thematic structure, Milk and Honey provides brief devotional thoughts that cover the major contours of Scripture in the course of a year. Bible books are divided among twelve pastors so that each month covers a particular portion of Scripture. The result is a devotional survey of the Bible by able expositors of God’s Word.

Endorsements “I am confident thatMilk and Honey will meet the needs of those readers who are looking for a daily spiritual resource that offers more than most devotionals available today. Here we have the product of not one, but twelve like-minded ministers from different denominations who have taken up the task of providing wholesome food for people with various spiritual needs. I am impressed with the vast array of subjects that the authors have covered and the competent way in which they deal with some very sensitive spiritual matters. May the Lord bless the combined labors of these faithful pastors to the salvation and spiritual growth of many in whose hands this book may fall.” — Co r n e l i s Pr o n k , Emeritus Pastor of the Free Reformed Church of Brantford, Ontario

“‘The next best thing to being wise oneself,’ someone once said, ‘is to surround yourself with those who are.’ To begin or end each day with these judicious devotional sound bites will accomplish just that — they Hardcover, 408 pages will teach you the way of wisdom.

“God’s pilgrim people, journeying through this wilderness world, daily look up to heaven, only to be supplied with a portion of manna, which is Christ ministered to us through the written Word, and a supply of water, even those reviving and refreshing streams of the Holy Spirit proceeding from Christ our Rock. Here, in this new and most excellent book of readings written by various able and highly respected men of the Reformed persuasion, we have perceptive and helpful comments on numerous biblical texts covering a whole range of revealed truth. These comments are at times enhanced by well-chosen quotations from such past worthies as Thomas Watson and Samuel Rutherford. The happy result, evident throughout, is orthodox teaching that blends doctrine, practice, and experience together. The book is a delight to read. Heartily and unreservedly I commend it to all who wish to go forth and gather the heavenly manna and quench their thirst with the spiritual waters of life and salvation.” — Ma l c o l m H.

A Spiritual Appeal to Christ’s Bride Jodocus van Lodenstein Translated by Bartel Elshout Edited by Joel R. Beeke

Description A Spiritual Appeal to Christ’s Bride consists of nine sermons preached by Jodocus van Lodenstein, one of the most prominent leaders of the Dutch Further Reformation. The sermons stress themes that are dear to the preacher’s heart: the need for the Holy Spirit to carry the Reformation further than the mind, the need for perpetual reformation and growth in piety, the need to cultivate holiness and self-denial, and the need to know and experience as Christ’s bride an intimate spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ the perfect Bridegroom. The book calls nominal Christians to a more profound commitment to Christ, stressing that only such a commitment can deliver the church from shallowness and unholiness. Today, more than ever, the church needs to heed this call to awaken from its spiritual slumber. Endorsements “I am so pleased that these Dutch classics are now available to a wide audience.

Moses’ Self-Denial Jeremiah Burroughs Edited by Don Kistler

Description Reflecting on Hebrews 11:24–25, Jeremiah Burroughs ponders how Moses relinquished his noble and comfortable rights as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter to find greater honor as a suffering son of Abraham. Burroughs explains how Christians are called to deny all honors, privileges, and delights for the sake of Christ. He also shows how God is especially honored when we forgo selfish desires at a time when they seem most advantageous to us. You will benefit greatly to see how faith acts to transform losses caused by self-denial into true honor. This is an insightful, practical book — a helpful antidote for our natural selfishness. Endorsements “Every new believer, upon first reading the Gospels, is gripped by Jesus’ stark calls for self-denial. Yet self-denial, biblically framed, is not mere asceticism; it is an exchange of our sin-riddled wills for a higher, better, and purer will. Jeremiah Burroughs has served us well through this book by providing a needed corrective for a church tempted to value pleasures, honors, and wealth more than Christ. He asks, ‘What is my honor...my life, so long as God may be glorified?’ He adds, ‘If God’s honor is not precious in my eyes, what makes me think my honor will be precious in His?’ Burroughs points us to the source of true delight, God Himself. I am pleased to heartily recommend this book, praying that it will challenge your soul as it has mine.” —Ph i l l i p Si m p s o n , author of A Life of Gospel Peace: A Biography of Jeremiah Burroughs

He also served as a member of the Westminster Assembly until his death in 1646. also available by this author The Evil of Evils The Evil of Evils, first printed in 1654, consists of sixty-seven short chapters that expose sin and urge believers to choose affliction over sin. Burroughs organizes his material around seven major thoughts: (1) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; (2) sin and God are contrary to each other; (3) sin is directly against our good; (4) sin opposes all that is good; (5) sin is the evil of all other evils; (6) sin has infinite dimension and character; and (7) sin makes us comfortable with the devil.

The Hymns of Philip Doddridge Compiled and Edited by Graham C. Ashworth

Description Philip Doddridge is best known today for The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul, and perhaps by some for his Family Expositor, which is an extensive commentary on and paraphrase of the New Testament. He also served as principal of an important ministerial academy for non-conforming churches. However, one part of Doddridge’s legacy that has been sorely neglected in recent years is his hymns. This book contains 375 of Doddridge’s hymns, which provide poetic reflection on Old Testament texts, New Testament texts, and various occasions pertaining to Christians and the church. It also includes a timeline of Doddridge’s life, a number of helpful indexes, and various compatible hymn tunes. Endorsements “Philip Doddridge was one of the greatest of English Dissenters of the eighteenth century — capable, orthodox, and supportive of evangelicals. His hymns, however, have fallen into disuse. Yet, according to the his- torian Bernard Lord Manning, they are, with those of Isaac Watts, ‘the crowning glory of Independent hymnology.’ It is a pleasure to see them reissued in this book.” — Da v i d Be bb i n gt o n , Professor of History, University of Stirling, Scotland

“Philip Doddridge’s hymns have been compared to Jacob’s ladder. They begin on earth and end in heaven.

Introduction to Reformed scholasticism Willem van Asselt, et al.

Th is work supplies a long-standing need in the fi eld of early modern studies by providing a basic introduction to Reformed scholasticism. Although technical studies abound and interest in the subject continues to rise, until the appearance of this work by Willem van Asselt and his colleagues, students of history have lacked a concise guide to help them navigate the diffi cult waters of Reformed scholasticism. Th is book carefully defi nes the phenomena of scholasticism and orthodoxy, concisely surveys the era, notes the most signifi cant thinkers together with the various tra- jectories of thought, and references the relevant secondary scholarship. In short, Introduction to Reformed Scholasticism surveys the topic and provides a guide for further study in early modern Reformed thought.

Preaching in the Holy spirit Albert N. Martin

Good pastors pray for the Holy Spirit’s help in preparing biblical sermons that will ade- quately feed God’s sheep. Th ey also hope for the Spirit’s work in the hearts of the hearers so that they eff ectively receive the preached Word. But are these the only ways that preachers must depend on the Spirit in their preaching? In this book, Albert Martin reminds gospel ministers of their need to rely on the Holy Spirit as they proclaim God’s Word. He explains the necessity of the agency and operations of the Holy Spirit, describes its specifi c manifes- tations, and discusses ways it is restrained or diminished. Here is a prophetic call to reliance on God in the very act of proclaiming His Word.

stop Loving the World William Greenhill

Th e Puritans were greatly concerned with suppressing worldliness in the church. Today, worldliness is an even greater problem, exacerbated by the fact that so few dare to speak out against it. In this book, William Greenhill provides modern readers with a healthy antidote to our love aff air with the world. He explains what it means to love the world, exposes the dangers of cherishing it, shares how we ought to relate to it, and gives encouraging directions for removing our hearts from it. Th is is a book with a timeless message, demonstrating the relevance of the Puritans for today.

Th e writings of Jeremiah Burroughs are some of the most readable and engaging Puritan works available. Like his Puritan colleagues, Burroughs sought to explain biblical teaching in a heart- searching manner. In this biography, Phillip Simpson opens a window into the life and times of Burroughs, providing the context for his memorable sermons and writings. What becomes apparent is Burroughs’s consistent application of the principles he preached to the conduct of his life. An ardent call for a gospel-driven life and a peaceable character is refl ected in both his books and life, which stand out remarkably in an era of turmoil and revolution. Th is is the fi rst book-length biography of Jeremiah Burroughs. 12 www.heritagebooks.org NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

The Fading of the Flesh and the Flourishing of Faith George Swinnock

In this book, George Swinnock presents modern readers with valuable food for thought as he expounds Psalm 73:26, “My fl esh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.” Swinnock combines careful explanation with vivid illustration to reveal the futility of earthly comforts and highlight the inestimable comfort, satisfaction, and joy aff orded us in Christ. Displaying the relevance of the Puritans for today, you will fi nd this sorely neglected and sobering topic an easy, thought-provoking, and compelling read.

“Th is wonderful little book, written with charm, simplicity, and clarity by George Swinnock is bound to prove both a delight and a challenge to any Christian who values the riches of the gospel. It is a spiritual gem that deserves to be read and re-read. In addition, its charm, simplicity, and clarity make it a perfect entry point to the writings of the pastoral Puritans. Beautifully edited for the modern reader by Dr. Stephen Yuille, Th e Fading of the Flesh is a rare spiritual treat.” — Sinclair B. Ferguson

The Evil of Evils, first printed in 1654, consists of sixty-seven short chapters that expose sin and urge believers to choose affliction over sin. Burroughs organizes his material around seven major thoughts: (1) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; (2) sin and God are contrary to each other; (3) sin is directly against our good; (4) sin opposes all that is good; (5) sin is the evil of all other evils; (6) sin has infinite dimension and character; and (7) sin makes us comfortable with the devil. This treatise is invaluable for sensitizing our consciences to the “exceeding sinfulness of sin” (cf. Rom. 7:13). “I think among all the treatises of this blessed man, Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs (now triumphing in glory above all sin and sorrow), which have been received with so much acceptance among the saints, there has not been presented to your view a more practical piece than this now in your hands. And though various divines have written and spoken much concerning this subject, yet, in my poor judgment, this out-does all of this nature that ever my eyes beheld, setting forth with life and spirit the subject in hand and bringing it down powerfully in a practical way to convince the judgment and work upon the affections of the weakest reader.” —John Yates (d. 1657), A Puritan preacher of the Norfolk area (HC, ISBN: 1877611484) $24.00 | $18.00
