Nothing does a better job of capturing the essence of Jesus'
philosophy than the first eight verses of his Sermon on the Mount.
These eight lines, known as the Beatitudes, summarize what it means
to follow Jesus. They are the overture to Jesus' gospel symphony,
introducing his distinctive rhythms of grace.
Artists often agonize over their work, even to the point of
despair, in the modern world. This booklet by one of the twentieth
century's most incisive art historians and cultural critics is a
prophetic call to artists-craftsmen, musicians, visual artists and
others-in all walks of life to "weep, pray, think and work."
" The Life and Thought of David Craig " tells the story of one
Canadian Presbyterian missionary whose life spanned more than six
decades and three continents. From humble Ontario origins, David
studied and served in several diverse languages and cultures. After
a near death experience as a missionary in Nigeria, David became
increasingly involved in French evangelism and Reformed theological
education. Most significantly, from 1976 until his death in 2001,
David served as a pastor in three successive French-speaking
congregations in the province of Quebec. David's career evidences
not only the emotions and adventure of one man, but the joys and
challenges more generally experienced by Christian missionaries in
the second half of the 20th century.
This precious book contains all the sermons, articles and book reviews on this vital subject by one of the most brilliant theologians America has ever produced. Sinclair Ferguson, author and pastor, said, "I commend these pages, as one who has continually been helped by their contents. It is a treasure to be enjoyed again and again." Joel Beeke added, ""These sermons, articles, and book reviews, collected from Warfield's writings, show the genuine stamp of Reformed experiential piety that rested on the great 19th-century Princeton theologians. The sermons on the leading and sealing of the Spirit are themselves worth the price of the book. Would you like guidance in learning how to live more closely to Christ, how to walk more by faith through the Spirit, and how to wrestle at the throne of grace? Read this book prayerfully, both for clarity of mind and warmth of soul with regard to the person and ministry of the blessed Spirit. Let Warfield be your spiritual mentor in the great things of God."
In this lay-friendly introduction to what it means to be a Presbyterian, Louis B. Weeks explains the life, history, tradition, and beliefs of the Presbyterian Church. Offering more than providing a brief overview, Weeks ties his explanations to actual congregational situations. Each chapter begins with an anecdote and then examines the theme in the following pages. It is ideal for new-member classes and for those who seek a refresher course on Presbyterianism. Originally publishing this volume in 1983, Weeks has updated many of the original anecdotes and added material to reflect decades of change in the PC(USA).

"Shedd's insights into prevailing trends and their consequences, so eloquently expressed in this book of essays is deserving of repeated close scrutiny. Sufficient for us to say that his material is biblically orthodox, historically defensible, and as important to us today as when it was first penned more than 100 years ago. Truth is timeless, and while the opinions of other writers may be in vogue for a short period, in the final analysis it is the writers who enrich our lives with theological themes that outlast their more popular contemporaries. It is with delight, therefore, that we welcome the reappearance of W.G.T. Shedd's famous essays." - Cyril Barber
