-What does the Bible mean when it says that Christians have "died to sin"?
-How is it possible for a just God to "justify the ungodly" without becoming "unjust" Himself?
-What is regeneration?
-What is justificaion?
-Why do all men desperately need to be justified?
-If I have died to sin, why am I still affected by it?
-As a Christian, am I the "new man" or the "old man"--or both?
-What does the Bible mean when it says that Christians have "died to the law"?
Are Christians still slaves to sin? The answers to these and many other questions become clear once we gain a biblical understanding of justification and regeneration. These two great miracles lie at the very heart of the gospel, yet even among genuine Christians they are surrounded by confusion and ignorance. This book attempts to set forth in clear biblical light the nature and characteristics of justification and regeneration that God may be glorified and His children brought to know more fully the liberty that is theirs in Christ.
"I have read this book many times before its going to press. I have greatly benefited from its teaching and heartily recommend its contents. May the Spirit of God illuminate your heart and mind that you may not only understand the Scriptures explained herein, but that they might become a reality in your life."
--Paul David Washer, Director of HeartCry Missionary Society

For Whom Did Christ Die? John Murray |
|
This 27-page booklet answers the question, "For Whom Did Christ Die?". Did Jesus Christ make atonement for each and every person throughout history so as to make salvation possible? Or did Jesus Christ make atonement for the elect of God to make their salvation certain? Murray looks at many verses such as Romans 8:28-39; I John 2:1,2; sections of Romans 6 and II Corinthians 5 and many others. While the booklet is short, it is not a "fast read". This book will take some careful thought, re-reading sections to absorb the truth presented. It will be well worth your time to spend several hours to study this glorious truth of the work of Christ on the cross.

Discovering God's Will by Sinclair Ferguson |
|
There are few more important things in the Christian's life than discovering God's will. The assurance that we are in the centre of God's purposes brings lasting stability to our experience. But how do we discover the will of God for our lives? Sinclair Ferguson answers this question by showing how God's will is shaped by his ultimate purposes for us. It is made known to us through his Word. At times discovering God's will demands careful thought: it may require patience; it always demands a right attitude to God himself. Certainly you must be done living for your will and have a passion and obedience to live for the glory and will of God alone.
Discovering God's Will draws out fundamental principles by which God guides us, applies them to practical situations like vocation and marriage, and underlines many important biblical counsels. It shows that the guidance God gives comes primarily through knowing, loving and obeying him. 125 pages.

Today's Gospel by Walter Chantry |
|
If you are not satisfied with much of today's so-called evangelism, but you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong with it, this book is for you. Much of today's evangelism has nothing to do with the preaching of the gospel, but focuses on unity at any expense. Mr. Chantry uses the gospel story of the rich young ruler and his encounter with Jesus Christ as an example of how to preach the gospel. He stresses the need for us to stick to the Master's way of handling lost individuals, not to popular but misleading methods. |

The Carnal Christian by Ernest Reisinger |
 |
In the past century, Evangelism has reaped a great harvest, but the question has been rightly raised, "What is wrong with the harvest?" One of the most popular answers to this question is that too many Christians have stopped at 'conversion'; they are 'carnal Christians' who have not yet learned to live a surrendered life. Ernest Reisinger examines this suggestion and the consequences which have resulted from its widespread acceptance. 13 Pages.

A Call to the Unconverted by Richard Baxter |
|
Richard Baxter (1615 - 1691) was a bright and shining light in the golden age of theology, the seventeenth century. Not only was he the most voluminous author of his day (72 volumes), but also his shepherding of his flock at Kidderminster was so phenomenal that it stands as a marker for all other pastors and evangelists. He practiced what he teaches in this book. The host of conversions under his preaching testifies to the power of the message in A Call.Baxter was always plain spoken to sinners: "Whoever loves earth above Heaven, and fleshly prosperity more than God, is a wicked, unconverted man!"

An Alarm to the Unconverted by Joseph Alleine |
|
Joseph Alleine was a Puritan preacher born in 1634. He was known for his great passion for the lost, to see them soundly converted. Here is a sample of his passion: "But from where shall I fetch my argument? With what shall I win them? O that I could tell! I would write to them in tears, I would weep out every argument, I would empty my veins for ink, I would petition them on my knees. O how thankful should I be if they would be prevailed with to repent and turn." When his wife chided him for not spending more time with her, he replied, ''Ah, my dear, I know thy soul is safe; but how many that are perishing have I to look after? O that I could do more for them!'"
