All Loves Excelling  Author: John Bunyan

Description: This is Bunyan's sermon on Ephesians 3:17-18, which he entitled 'The Saints' Knowledge of Christ's Love'. It is worthy of being ranked alongside Sibbes and deals with a much-neglected subject-area. It is being published in the Puritan Paperbacks series. "To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge" (Eph. 3:19)

All Things For Good    Author: Thomas Watson

Description: In this fine study of Romans 8:28, Thomas Watson explains how both the best and the worst experiences work for the good of God's people. Previously "A Divine Cordial." Watson simply but profoundly explains how God does in fact make all things work together for the good of His people. One of the most useful explanation of Romans 8:28 ever written.

 

Art Of Prophesying    Author: William Perkins

Description: William Perkins (1558-1602) provides basic guidance to help all Christians to read and use the Bible intelligently. He has a particularly powerful message for those who lead God's people and especially those who preach. The books was first published in 1592, and is on the critical nature of preaching. One of the most critical errors of modern seeker churches is the decline in importance of what is preached from their pulpits.

Glory Of Christ  Author: John Owen

Description: In The Glory of Christ, abridged and made easy to read by R. J. K. Law, we have the great Puritan pastor and theologian John Owen at his richest and most mature. This is really one of the best books in existence. A Chrsitocentric treatment of the gospel. Not only is it soundly theological, but extremely practical for growth in grace and truth. "No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter, who doth not in some measure behold it by faith here in this world." - Owen

Christian Love  Author: Hugh Binning

Description: In his Treatise of Christian Love, the Scottish Covenanting minister Hugh Binning movingly presents the need for Christians to show by their love for one another that they belong to Christ. Basing his remarks on John 13:35, By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another, he argues, ‘This is the badge that Christ left to his disciples: if we cast this away on every disagreement, we disown our Master, and disclaim his token and badge.’ Hugh Binning (1627-53) describes the excellence of Christian love, demonstrating its nature from 1 Corinthians 13. He gives strong reasons why Christians should love one another, and shows that love is rooted in Christian humility and meekness, after the pattern of Christ Himself.

Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ   Author: John Bunyan

Description: Of all John Bunyan’s writings, this book most fully expresses his delight and joy in the free and gracious welcome given to sinners by Jesus Christ. It is a thorough exposition of John 6:37. Bunyan not only explains the meaning of the terms used in the text, but also labours to remove the doubts and difficulties of sinners and backsliders in their approach to Christ. This work could be said to have given rise indirectly to the modern missionary movement, since it strongly influenced Andrew Fuller, the first secretary of the pioneering Baptist Missionary Society, and helped him to set his denomination free from the grip of hyper-Calvinism.

 

Communion With God    Author: John Owen

Description: Dr R. J. K. Law has produced a splendidly readable abridgement of one of the greatest Christian classics of all time, bringing Owen's rich teaching to a much wider readership. Of the peculiar and distinct communion which the saints have with the Father, with Jesus Christ the Son of God & Of Communion with The Holy Ghost. John Owen believed that that communion with God lies at the heart of the Christian life. With Paul he recognised that through the Son we have access by the Spirit to the Father.

The Spirit and the Church    Author: John Owen

Description: It is the Holy Spirit who convinces, assures, teaches, comforts and equips the church for all the work it is called to do. In an age when many think Christianity is nothing more than human effort based on fallible human conclusions, Owen calls the church back to divine certainty and divine resources. This updated version enables Owen to speak to Christians on a theme as important to the church today as it was to the church in his own day.

Apostasy from the Gospel  Author: John Owen

Description: The idea that 'professing' Christians may prove not to be true Christians is a deeply disturbing one. In this modernised abridgement of John Owen's famous work, Dr R. J. K. Law makes its powerful teaching readily accessible to modern readers. In our consumeristic age of fascination with self-image this may be too much for the feint of heart to bear. But since the master theologian John Owne takes on the subject you know that you are going to be led down a thouroughly biblical and orthodox path.

Mortification of Sin  Author: John Owen

Description: The famous Puritan John Owen shows the need for Christians to engage in a life-long battle against the sinful tendencies that remain in them, despite their having been brought to faith and new life in Christ. Owen is very insistent that believers cannot hope to succeed in this battle in their own strength. He sees clearly that the fight can be won only through faith in Christ, and in the power of the Spirit. Fighting sin with human strength will produce only self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. But with faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain.

Holy Spirit     Author: John Owen

Description: Abridged and made easy to read by R. J. K. Law. "Owen on the Holy Spirit," as this work has been known to generations of Christians, was written by the greatest theologian of the Puritan era. It is, without question, one of the truly great Christian books.Originally published in 1674 as Pneumatologia, or A Discourse concerning the Holy Spirit, it is a massive work, taking up 650 pages in the Banner of Truth edition of Owen's Works (volume 3). It deals with the name, nature, personality and operations of the Spirit, and urges the necessity of gospel holiness as distinct from mere human morality.

Christians Great Interest  Author: William Guthrie

Description: Describes in a clear and attractive style what it means to be a Christian, and how to become one. Its author William Guthrie was described by John Owen as 'one of the greatest divines that ever wrote'. Assurance of salvation is the subject of this highly readable, practical book With vast pastoral concern for believers struggling with uncertainty of heart about their assurance, and unbelievers living comfortably with a false assurance, Guthrie shows what a true interest in Christ is, and answers important and common questions that arise.

 

Heaven on Earth   Author: Thomas Brooks

Description: A Beautiful Treatise on Christian Assurance. The subject of assurance is one of the most important elements in Christian experience. There is no higher privilege than to be a child of God and to know it, for assurance brings joy to worship and prayer, and provides strength and boldness to our witness. Correspondingly failure and weakness in all these areas can often be traced back to a lack of assurance in a way that is both biblical and pastoral.

Justification Vindicated  Author: Robert Trail

Description: Can sinners really be justified before God by faith alone? If so, can they go on to live as they please? Robert Traill suffered persecution, exile and prison for faithfulness to the gospel. He shows here, with rare clarity and grace, that only justification by faith alone, shows sinners the way to a holy God, makes them a holy and obedient people, gives them joyful assurance of acceptance with God.

Learning in Christ's School  Author: Ralph Venning

Description: In this unique account of growth in grace, 'babes', 'little children', 'young men' and 'fathers' are the stages through which the learners in Christ's school pass on their way to the 'academy of heaven'.

Lifting Up For The Downcast   Author: William Bridge

Description: Depression is not unique to our times. To encourage the depressed, Bridge wrote this choice book and filled it with the kind of rich encouragement which our generation too rarely hears. These thirteen sermons on Psalm 42:11, preached at Stepney, London, in the year 1648 are the work of a true physician of souls. In dealing with believers suffering form spiritual depression, Bridge manifests great insight into the causes of the saints’ discouragements such as great sins, weak grace, failure in duties, want of assurance, temptation, desertion and affliction. The general causes of spiritual depression are the same in every age. Down cast Christians of the twentieth century can find help here as surely as did past generations.

Prayer   Author: John Bunyan

Description: Two works on prayer are here brought together. In Praying in the Spirit Bunyan defines what it means to pray with the spirit and with the understanding, and deals with difficulties in prayer. In The Throne of Grace, he explains how to approach God's throne in prayer and opens up the blessings God's people receive from the high priestly ministry of Jesus Christ. Even in today's secular world, scholars continue to be fascinated by the influences behind John Bunyan's famous allegories, The Pilgrim's Progress and The Holy War. In the pages of this book we discover part of the real secret of Bunyan's greatness.

 

Reformed Pastor   Author: Richard Baxter

Description: One of the best known classics on the work of the Christian ministry. Is a most extraordinary performance, and should be read by every young minister, before he takes a people under his stated care; and, I think, the practical part of it reviewed every three or four years; for nothing would have a greater tendency to awaken the spirit of a minister to that zeal in his work, for want of which many good men are but shadows of what (by the blessing of God) they might be, if the maxims and measures laid down in that incomparable Treatise were strenuously pursued. - Philip Doddridge

Doctrine of Repentance   Author: Thomas Watson

Description: Knowing what repentance is, and actually repenting, are essential to true Christianity. Few better guides have existed in any area of spiritual experience than Thomas Watson. In a world that will not tolerate the mention of sin, and in churches where it has been defined only in sociological terms, the biblical teaching on repentance has inevitably been ignored. Knowing what repentance is, and actually repenting are essential to true Christianity. Jesus Christ himself said that if we do not repent, we will perish! It is vital, therefore, to read and study what Scripture has to say about this theme.

Letters Of Samuel Rutherford   Author: Samuel Rutherford

Description: Like John Bunyan in Bedford jail, Samuel Ruthford did his best work while suffering imprisonment for the gospel. His opponents had meant to silence him but instead they perpetuated his ministry through the centuries for it was out or this period that most of his famous Letters came. Addressed to high and low they ere so prized by the recipients that the first collection by Robert McWard appeared in 1664 just three years after Ruthford’s death. The successive editions contained more letters until they grew to the 365 in Andrew Bonar’s classic edition.

Puritan Treasury Of Quotations  Author: I.D.E. Thomas

Description: Aptly chosen quotations from the works of many of the great preachers and writers of the Puritan period.

Sure Guide To Heaven   Author: Joseph Alleine

Description: One of the greatest evangelistic books, and a spur to personal evangelism. “But from where shall I fetch my argument? With what shall I win them? O that I could tell! I would write to them in tears, I would weep out every argument, I would empty my veins for ink, I would petition them on my knees. O how thankful should I be if they would be prevailed with to repent and turn.” “Here the hypocrites rottenness may be discovered. He desires holiness, as one well said, only as a bridge to heaven, and inquires earnestly what is the least that will serve his turn; and if he can get but so much as may bring him to heaven, this is all he cares for.

Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices   Author: Thomas Brooks

Description: Brooks treated the seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a way greatly more full and suggestive than in the literature of the present day. Brooks treated the seductive influence and terrible power of Satan in a way greatly more full and suggestive than in the literature of the present day.

Lords Supper   Author: Thomas Watson

Description: To Thomas Watson, the Lord’s Supper was a visible sermon, a mirror in which to gaze on the sufferings and death of Christ. ‘God, to help our faith, does not only give us an audible Word, but a visible sign.’ But more than this, the Supper was a time in which to partake of the benefits of Christ’s death by faith, to be fed and cherished by the Lord in his own banqueting house, and to obtain a foretaste of the glory which will be fully realized only in heaven. Watson’s aim was to stimulate greater love to Christ in His people, and to enhance their appreciation of the Supper as a spiritual feast for all believers.

Sinfulness of Sin   Author: Ralph Venning

Description: Although The Sinfulness of Sin was written three hundred years ago, it remains an oasis of truth in a desert of lies. First published in the aftermath of the Great Plague of London and entitled Sin, The Plague of Plagues, it gives a crystal-clear explanation of what sin is, why it is so serious, and what we need to do about it. Here is serious medicine for a fatal epidemic.


 

Shorter Catechism Explained  Author: Thomas Vincent

Description:In the minds of John Owen and Thomas Watson this explanation of the Catechism is 'greatly useful to all Christians in general.For the careful and thoughtful reader, it contains the seeds for many topical, textual, and perhaps even expository outlines for preaching or Bible teaching. "Too many, even in our nation and city perish and run blindfold into hell, for want of knowledge; and the most are without knowledge, for want of instruction; and as no way of instruction doth convey clearer light of distinct knowledge in the principles of religion than the way of catechising..."

Godly Man's Picture  Author: Thomas Watson

Description: Watson is always the essence of sanity and reliability. Few preachers in the Puritan era (or any other period of church history) match Thomas Watson for his ability to combine rich spirituality, nourishing doctrine and sane wisdom with fascinating illustrations and pleasant style. Watson is remembered chiefly for his posthumously published Body of Practical Divinity (reprinted by the Trust in three volumes). But his extant sermons also include this marvelous series on the character of the Christian. It is, as C.H. Spurgeon said of his other work, “a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience and practical wisdom.”

Glorious Freedom   Author: Richard Sibbes

Description: The original title of this study was "The Excellency of the Gospel Above the Law", being a comparison of the greater and full revelation of God in the New Covenant. Sibbes joyfully shows us how the Spirit of God produces likeness to Christ and consequent great liberty in those who are members of it. One of few Puritan treatises with much to say about the doctrine of adoption.

The Acceptable Sacrifice   Author: John Bunyan

Description: What can man bring to God which will be excellent and acceptable in His sight? John Bunyan’s answer may surprise us - a broken and contrite heart. This is the ‘acceptable sacrifice’ of the title. In this moving exposition of Psalm 51:17, the last work which he prepared for the press, Bunyan shows from Scripture why a broken heart is so acceptable to God. He characterizes the unbroken heart of man, showing why it must be made contrite, and explains the nature of the change which is involved. He also guides the reader in discerning whether this change has taken place, and shows how the heart, once broken, can be kept tender. Must Reading. This book was written by Bunyan while he was still in prison prior to being put to death. A great book to read when we a struggling with sin.
