Sale on The Battle Belongs to the Lord

A promising new book on Christian apologetics has been released by K. Scott Oliphant called The Battle Belongs to the Lord: The Power of Scripture for Defending the Faith. Westminster Bookstore has it on sale for a ridiculously low price of $5 until June 1st. It looks to be a good resource for encouraging and equipping believers in defending the Christian faith. Here are a couple of endorsements for the book.

    “Most of us who want to be faithful witnesses know we need—but often lack—three things: a clear understanding of the truth, the ability to express our message persuasively, and confidence that the gospel has nothing to fear in the intellectual market place. As a skilled seminary professor who has also served in the trenches of pastoral and evangelistic ministry, Dr. Oliphint is well qualified to give us just the help we need.”Sinclair B. Ferguson, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Systematic Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary

    “Many think that we should leave our Bibles at home when we engage in apologetics, that we should reason with unbelievers only on the basis of “common ground.” Scott Oliphint, to the contrary, rightly emphasizes that the Christian can never set his Bible aside, for Scripture sets the standards for everything we do, including apologetics.”John Frame, Reformed Theological Seminary, Florida

Sale on The Gospel Commission

I promise that I will eventually get around to posting more than book deals and such. However, Michael Horton’s new book The Gospel Commission: Recovering God’s Strategy for Making Disciples is on sale at Westminster Bookstore at 50% off your first copy and 40% off all additional copies. The sale runs through tomorrow so be sure to order your copies quickly. Horton is a solid theologian and clear writer so you will undoubtedly benefit from this book. Here’s a brief description:

Many churches in America today want to be powerful, relevant, and influential in personal and social transformation. A plethora of programs for outreach, discipleship, and spiritual disciplines are available at any bookstore and on countless websites. Yet what we need most is a renewed understanding of and commitment to the Great Commission. We assume that we already know the nature of this commission and the appropriate methods of carrying it out.

But Michael Horton contends that it too often becomes our mission instead of God’s. At a time when churches are zealously engaged in creating mission statements and strategic plans, he argues that we must ask ourselves anew whether we are ambassadors, following the script we’ve been given, or building our own kingdoms with our own blueprint.

Also…Westminster has extended the sale on Thriving at College until tomorrow. If you’re still interested in that book but missed the original deadline for the deal then here is your second chance.

 

Sale on Thriving at College

Thriving at College looks like a helpful resource to get into the hands of any high school folks heading off to college in the near future. Westminster Bookstore has it on sale for 50% off the first copy and 40% off all additional copies until tomorrow. So click over and snatch up a few copies for the high schoolers in your home and church.

Here are a few endorsements:

“As a pastor in a college town, I have the privilege of working with college students all the time. I welcome the chance to get Thriving at College into as many of their hands as I can manage. If just a small fraction of the scriptural counsel offered here were to be put into practice, more than a small fraction of my pastoral migraines would go away. And who wouldn’t want that?”
Douglas Wilson, Pastor, Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho
Author of Letter from a Christian Citizen, The Case for Classical Christian Education

“Alex Chediak’s Thriving at College promises to help, strengthen, encourage, guide and even salvage many Christian college students who need precisely what this book offers. Parents of pre-college teens, and college students themselves, will benefit much from the wisdom, warnings, and winsomeness of this book.”
Bruce A. Ware, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“The ideal author of a really helpful book. However, this book lacks a lot that one might expect, like a condescending tone, easy formulas, and clichés. Thriving at College is full of wisdom on every major aspect of this wonderful episode in the life of many people today: spiritual, relational, ethical, and even economic.”
Michael Horton, J. G. Machen Professor of Theology, Westminster Seminary California, Author of The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology for Pilgrims on the Way

Sale on Bavinck Biography

Westminster Books has the new Herman Bavinck biography for 50% off through 11/23. You can go to hermanbavinck.org for a brief introduction to the pastor and theologian. Here’s a description of the book:

This is a much needed work on the life and theology of Dr. Herman Bavinck, an increasingly important influence on the church landscape and one of the finest and best theologians that Holland ever produced. Gleason describes Bavinck s education at Leiden University, his first and only pastoral ministry in the Friesian village of Franeker, his fruitful time in Kampen as professor of the Theological Seminary there, and his eventual transfer to the Free University. This is a thought-provoking portrait of an influential man written by one of the leading authorities on his life and ideas. Gleason takes you on a journey with Bavinck through his whole life until the events surrounding his death in 1921.
