The words Christ spoke from the cross can inform Christians of the
purpose, the meaning, the sufferings, and the sufficiency of his
death. After an introduction that discusses the nature of Christ's
death as natural, unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural, Dr.
Arthur W. Pink clearly illustrates the lessons that can be drawn
from Christ's words-lessons on forgiveness, salvation, affection,
anguish, suffering, victory, and contentment. This comprehensive
and accessible volume is useful for both sermon preparation and
personal study.
The question of profiting from Scripture provides the theme for
this book, originally published as a series in Studies in the
Scriptures.
An unforgettably beautiful picture of our Lord is drawn for God's
people in the beloved Gospel of John. The promises in this Fourth
Gospel have brought to weary hearts down through the centuries the
sudden delight of the traveler who, crossing a desert, suddenly
comes upon the cool, tranquil comfort of a green-bordered oasis.
Thoroughly scholastic and yet vigorously practical, this exposition
of the beloved Gospel (a verse-by-verse running commentary) is not
a "hasty production." The author has already devoted fifteen years
of special study to John's Gospel and taught the book to five
different classes in the course of as many pastorates besides
lecturing on it frequently from the Bibles conference platform. He
has diligently sought to do two things (and accomplished them with
praiseworthy distinction): (1) obtain from God the meaning of the
text, and (2) apply its lessons most effectively to his hearers and
readers.
A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of
this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry
during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the
deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each
generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a
theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal
relationship of yielding to him and living according to his
biblical precepts. Pink??'s book explores attributes such as
God??'s decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and
mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful
for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all
names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches,
but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through
his living Word. Arthur W. Pink (1886???1952) served as a pastor
for churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
His ministry brought him throughout the United States, Australia,
and Great Britain.
Arthur W. Pink Collection Vol 2 includes three Arthur Pink
classics; Comfort for Christians, The Beatitudes, and Regeneration
or The New Birth. "The work unto which the servant of Christ is
called is many-sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the
unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding
(Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way
(Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift
up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their
transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2). While another
important part of his commission is stated in, "Comfort ye, My
people, said your God" (Isa. 40:1). "What an honorable title, "My
people " What an assuring relationship: "your God " What a pleasant
task: "comfort ye My people " A threefold reason may be suggested
for the duplicating of the charge. First, because sometimes the
souls of believers refuse to be comforted (Ps. 77:2), and the
consolation needs to be repeated. Second, to press this duty the
more emphatically upon the preacher's heart, that he need not be
sparing in administering cheer. Third, to assure us how heartily
desirous God himself is that His people should be of good cheer
(Phil. 4:4)." "Opinion has been much divided concerning the design,
scope, and application of the Sermon on the Mount. Most
commentators have seen in it an exposition of Christian ethics. Men
such as the late Count Tolstoi have regarded it as the setting
forth of a "golden rule" for all men to live by. Others have dwelt
upon its dispensational bearings, insisting that it belongs not to
the saints of the present dispensation but to believers within a
future millennium. Two inspired statements, however, reveal its
true scope. In Matthew 5:1, 2, we learn that Christ was here
teaching His disciples. From Matthew 7:28, 29, it is clear that He
was also addressing a great multitude of the people. Thus it is
evident that this address of our Lord contains instruction both for
believers and unbelievers alike." Two chief obstacles lie in the
way of the salvation of any of Adam's fallen descendants: bondage
to the guilt and penalty of sin, bondage to the power and presence
of sin; or, in other words, their being bound for Hell and their
being unfit for Heaven. These obstacles are, so far as man is
concerned, entirely insurmountable. This fact was unequivocally
established by Christ, when, in answer to His disciples' question,
"Who then can be saved?," He answered, "with men this is
impossible." A lost sinner might more easily create a world than
save his own soul. But (forever be His name praised), the Lord
Jesus went on to say, "with God all things are possible" (Matt.
19:25, 26). Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian
evangelist and Biblical scholar. Born to Christian parents, prior
to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society and quickly
rose in prominence. His conversion came from his father's patient
admonitions from Scripture. It was Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way
which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to
renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
Arthur Pink wrote The Holy Spirit to help Christians better
understand ?the Third Person of the Godhead? and further their
Christian development. In The Holy Spirit Pink addresses such
matters as; The Third Person of the Godhead, The Personality of the
Holy Spirit, The Work of the Spirit, Honoring the Spirit, And much
more. "The need for the study of the Holy Spirit is real and
pressing. Ignorance of the Third Person of the Godhead is most
dishonoring to Him, and highly injurious to ourselves. The late
George Smeaton of Scotland began his excellent work upon the Holy
Spirit by saying, ?Wherever Christianity has been a living power,
the doctrine of the Holy Spirit has uniformly been regarded,
equally with the Atonement and Justification by faith, as the
article of a standing or falling church. The distinctive feature of
Christianity as it addresses itself to man's experience, is the
work of the Spirit, which not only elevates it far above all
philosophical speculation, but also above every other form of
religion.? Arthur Walkington was an English Christian evangelist
and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and
Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to
conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult
gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly
rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his
father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse,
Proverbs 14:12, there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death, ? which particularly struck
his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
"In approaching the study of one of the books of Scripture it must
be of considerable help to the student if he can ascertain what is
its main design and what is its outstanding topic. As pointed out
in the pages in our Introduction to Exodus each book in the Bible
has a prominent and dominant theme which, as such, is peculiar to
itself, around which everything is made to center and of which all
the details are but the amplification. What that leading subject
may be, we should make it our business to prayerfully and
diligently ascertain. This can best be discovered by reading and
re-reading the book under review, noting carefully any particular
feature or expression which occurs frequently in it-such as "under
the sun" in Ecclesiastes or "the righteousness of God" in Romans.
"The book of Joshua records one of the most interesting and
important portions of Israel's history. It treats of the period of
their estatement as a nation, of which Genesis was prophetic and
the rest of the Pentateuch immediately preparatory. The books of
Moses would be imperfect without this one: as it is the capstone of
them, so it is the foundation of those which follow. Omit Joshua
and there is a gap left in the sacred history which nothing could
supply. Without it what proceeds would be incomprehensible and what
follows unexplained. The sacred writer was directed to fill that
gap by narrating the conquest and apportionment of the Promised
Land. Thus this book may be contemplated from two distinct but
closely related standpoints: first as the end of Israel's trials
and wanderings in the wilderness, and second as the beginning of
their new life in the land. It is that twofold viewpoint which
supplies the clue to its spiritual interpretation, as it alone
solves the problem which so many have found puzzling in this book."

"After all that has been spoken and written by godly men on prayer,
we need something better than that which is of mere human origin to
guide us if we are to perform aright this essential duty. How
ignorant and sinful creatures are to endeavor to come before the
Most High God, how they are to pray acceptably to Him and to obtain
from Him what they need, can be discovered only as the great Hearer
of prayer is pleased to reveal His will to us. This He has done:
(1) by opening up a new and living way of access into His immediate
presence for the very chief of sinners; (2) by appointing prayer as
the chief means of intercourse and blessing between Himself and His
people; and (3) by graciously supplying a perfect pattern after
which the prayers of His people are to be modeled." Arthur

"There is, therefore, pressing need for all Christians to give at
least part of the time they spend in reading the Scriptures to
studying its predictions. We purpose giving a series of studies on
the thirteenth chapter of Matthew, which, in the writer's judgment,
is, from the standpoint of prophecy, the most important chapter of
all the New Testament. There is much in God's prophetic program
which must necessarily remain dark until the parables of this
chapter are thoroughly mastered. At present they are much
misunderstood and misinterpreted." Arthur Walkington Pink was an

"THE DEATH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is a subject of never-failing
interest to all who study prayerfully the scripture of truth. This
is so, not only because the believer's all both for time and
eternity depends upon it, but also, because of its transcendent
uniqueness. Four words appear to sum up the salient features of
this mystery of mysteries: the death of Christ was natural,
unnatural, preternatural, and supernatural." Arthur Walkington Pink

1922. Contains both original volumes. This work contains a wealth
of material on Genesis which can be used in the pulpit and Sunday
school class. Each chapter has been studied carefully and
prayerfully and many are treasures which the Lord has enabled the
author to bring forth. It is not written in a heavy style, and is
interesting from start to finish. The author gives the reader a
breath of fresh air on a subject which has been studied and
discussed profusely over the ages.
Produced in his pre-mil days, but still very useful, as Pink always
is. The beginning of a nation arrests world attention; the bondage
of a people evokes the full range of human feeling; the effective
work of a human deliverer for one or a million raises human
emotions to an exceedingly high pitch. In Exodus we have the
beginning of a nation, Israel; we have the enslavement of a people,
the Israelites; we have the arrival of a deliverer named Moses who
carried through the demand of the Lord, ''Let my people go.'' In
spiritual terms we have the beginning of a Christian life, the
acknowledgment of a power which will work in the Christian and for
the Christian beyond the natural; the redemption from the bondage
of sin, of Satan through a divine Deliverer, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Christians young or old cannot help but be blessed in pursuing a
reading and study of Exodus, second book in the Bible. In this book
Arthur W. Pink provides you with hours of blessed study help for
your spiritual enrichment. He gives thoughtful guidance for weeks
on end for the teacher of a Bible class. Student or teacher may
mine some of the richest o Bible ore from this book of Exodus and
become the wealthier spiritually in possession of its mighty
truths. We heartily commend to you GLEANINGS IN EXODUS by Arthur W.
Pink.
