Many parents today are searching for the "secret" to successful
parenting. In Covenantal Parenting: Raising Children in Dependence
on God's Promises, Dr. Joel R. Beeke asserts that there is no
secret. When it comes to giving children what they need most new
hearts that trust in Christ for forgiveness of sins parents are
helpless. When children come to faith, it is due to the grace of
God.
But while parents are helpless, they are not hopeless, for God
has promised in His Word to provide all needful things for His
people and to bless them and their families. With faith in these
grand promises, parents may raise their children in "the nurture
and admonition of the Lord" with confidence that God will work
savingly in their lives.

""Overcoming Spiritual Depression" is packed with godly wisdom and
heartfelt compassion for Christians who are battling the Elijah
syndrome of discouragement. It is also a healing tonic for those
who have loved ones suffering from this spiritual, emotional, and
psychological malady. The dos and don'ts of how to respond to the
suffering are expounded, in a most engaging way, from Elijah and
the author's experience under the juniper tree (1 Kings 19).
Concise yet thorough, practical yet spiritual, this book opens up
the world of depression such that both the depressed and those
closely associated with them will be gripped and liberated by the
author's many enlightening insights. Every minister, office-bearer,
and caring believer should read it to learn how to counsel and
interact with those who are spiritually cast down and emotionally
depleted."-- Joel R. Beeke
"Arie Elshout's "Overcoming Spiritual Depression" is a treasure
of pastoral counsel. Reminiscent as it is of A. W. Pink's "Elijah"
and Martyn Lloyd-Jones's "Spiritual Depression," Elshout employs
the life of Elijah to cover a variety of related themes. Always
sensitive to the complexities of the human spirit, this book
manages to be profoundly insightful, thoroughly biblical, and
theologically astute all at once. For Christians caught in Bunyan's
Castle of Giant Despair, this book is bound to provide a key that
will aid in the process of recovery. Thoroughly recommended."--
Derek W. H. Thomas
Written a century ago, Bavinck's stately theology of "the last
things"-from death to the parousia-offers sound exegetical
guidance.
Joel R. Beeke's work is an academic monograph of historical
theology that examines three flashpoints of controversy in
Reformation and Post-Reformation theology. As the subtitle, Early
Lutheran Predestination, Calvinian Reprobation, and Variations in
Genevan Lapsarianism implies, the work addresses, first, the
development of the Lutheran doctrine of predestination from Martin
Luther (1483-1546) and Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560) to the
Formula of Concord (1577); second, the development of John Calvin's
(1509-1564) doctrine of reprobation as traced through his writings;
and third, the doctrine of predestination in Geneva with a
particular emphasis on lapsarianism from Theodore Beza (1519-1605)
in the sixteenth century to Jean-Alphonse Turretin (1671-1737) and
Jacob Vernet (1698-1789) in the eighteenth century. The fruit of
three decades of study by a professor of systematic theology who
specializes in Reformation and Post-Reformation theology, this book
offers a harvest of insights into questions that stood at the
center of Reformation debates. Dr. Donald Sinnema, a leading
scholar in predestinarian theology and the Synod of Dort, writes:
Beeke addresses these difficult matters with sensitivity to
historical context and development, with systematic acuity, and a
broad grasp of secondary scholarly literature with which he
dialogues. The result is a balanced analysis of these issues that
should bring greater clarity to scholarly understanding of the
doctrine of predestination in the early modern era.
A profound biblical examination of the divine work of
sanctification. The mandate for holiness is based in the
very character and person of God: we are to be holy because God is
holy. His grace never leaves a man where it finds him. Grace always
transforms the sinner into a saint—a holy man. God’s will is
for His people to be holy, and the explanations of why and how we
become holy are throughout the Bible. Explaining the tension
between positional and progressive holiness, Joel Beeke and Michael
Barrett expound the doctrine of sanctification and show that it is
the application of the gospel to our daily lives. If you’ve ever
considered why, if we are saved by grace alone, holiness matters,
this book is for you.Â
The mountains are dark and looming as the lightening splits across
the sky. The forest offers shelter and in the distance the
traveller spots a lamp. Rushing towards the door he doesn't realise

has sent the traveller to tell her about himself. There are lots of
stories in this book. Read about the thunderstorm, some hidden
treasure and a Bible in a suitcase as well as many other stories
about how we should live for God and read his word.
