Dietrich Bonhoeffer died a martyr's death at the age of 39 but
remains one of the most influential and challenging theologians of
our time. His writings teach us the value of cross-centered
theology, and his courageous actions against the Nazi regime compel
us to consider the cost of discipleship. From Bonhoeffer we learn
that the Christian life is lived both alone and together, and that
there is a stark difference between cheap and costly grace. With
insight, clarity, and wisdom, Stephen Nichols guides us through the
words and deeds of this humble yet heroic pastor, whose example
shows us that the Christian's life flows from the cross, for the
world.
Focusing on Augustine's personal transformation and dependence on
the the Word of God, author Gerald Bray shows us how this ancient

John Calvin, a man adored by some and maligned by others, stands
as a legendary figure in Christian history. In Calvin on the
Christian Life, professor Michael Horton offers us fresh insights
into the Reformer's personal piety and practical theology by
allowing Calvin to speak in his own words.
Drawing not only from his Institutes and biblical commentaries,
but also from lesser-known tracts, treatises, and letters, this
book will deepen your understanding of Calvin's theology and
ministry by exploring the heart of his spiritual life: confident
trust and unwavering joy in the sovereign grace of God.
This volume includes three classic works by John Owen on sin,
temptation, and repentance in the Christian life. The editors have

War through its unique collections. The oldest surviving regiment
in the British Army, the Honourable Artillery Company boasts a
uniquely rich and eventful history. This book marks its
distinguished service in the First World War, in which HAC
batteries and battalions saw action in almost every theatre of war.
Editor Justine Taylor and Art Director Ian Denning have drawn on
the HAC's extraordinary wealth of photographs, written archives and
treasured objects to produce a beautiful and frequently moving
record from recruitment to demobilisation and beyond, concluding
with an examination of the Company's role in the Army Reserve
today. Packed with compelling accounts of life in the trenches,
behind the lines and on the Home Front, this volume conveys the
HAC's contribution to and experience of the war effort with
stunning immediacy.
Jonathan Edwards is widely hailed as the greatest theologian in
American history. However, despite the recent surge of scholarship
related to his life and theology, few books offer an accessible
introduction to his understanding of the Christian life. In the
latest addition to the Theologians on the Christian Life series,
readers are invited to explore Edwards's vision of what it means to
be a Christian. Whether it's Edwards's understanding of love,
Scripture, the soul, or the natural world, Dane Ortlund shows how
the concept of beauty serves as the integrating motif underlying
every aspect of his thinking. Clear, concise, and engaging, this
book will help readers embrace the great eighteenth-century
pastor's definition of authentic Christianity: the enjoyment and
reflection of the beauty of God.

evangelical Christians to benefit from Stott's life and teaching.
Does it make a difference that the God Christians claim to
worship has revealed himself as triune-the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit? Does this fundamental truth of biblical authority have an
effect on a believer's personal fellowship with God?
Puritan theologian John Owen recognized the great need for every
believer to understand the triune God. Communion with the Triune
God revisits the truth presented by John Owen and challenges all
believers to truly recognize and appreciate the ministry that God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have in their
lives. This work of John Owen encourages Christians to enjoy true
communion with each person of the triune God.
C. S. Lewis excelled at plumbing the depths of the human heart, both the good and the bad, the beautiful and the corrupt. From science fiction and fantasy to essays, letters, and works of apologetics, Lewis has offered a wealth of insight into how to live the Christian life.
In this book, Rigney explores the center of Lewis's vision for the Christian life--the personal encounter between the human self and the living God. In prayer, in the church, in the imagination, in our natural loves, in our pleasures and our sorrows, God brings us into his presence so that we can become fully human: alive, free, and whole, transformed into the image of Jesus Christ.

B. B. Warfield is well known as one of America's leading
theologians, perhaps second only to Jonathan Edwards. But until now
the character of his own Christian experience and his understanding
of the Christian life have remained unexplored. Fred Zaspel unpacks
these for us here, and what we find is that Warfield's profound
theological mind is matched only by his passionate heart for
Christ. From Warfield we learn truly what it is to live in light of
the gospel.
This introduction to Spurgeon's life and ministry-organized around
