12 Faithful Men: Portraits of Courageous Endurance in Pastoral Ministry

Price: $14.99

Publisher: Baker Books: July 2018

Seller ID: 320638

ISBN: 0801077761

Binding: Paperback

Condition: New

Most pastors know when they enter the ministry that they will spend time helping others through times of suffering. What they usually do not realize, though, is that they too will suffer. Caught off guard, many of them end up deeply hurt and quit the ministry, deciding that perhaps they misunderstood God's call on their lives or that they simply do not have what it takes. But church history is filled with compelling stories of men who were profoundly afflicted while they carried out their ministry and yet persevered faithfully until death.

Now the editors of The Gospel Coalition have colle...

In Garry Wills's biography of Saint Augustine for the Penguin Lives series, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author brilliantly documented the life of the great Christian thinker. His translations of passages of Saint Augustine's influential Confessiones were hailed as "sizzling" (Peter Brown, New York Review of Books). James Wood, writing for the London Review of Books declared, "Augustine flourishes in Wills's hand". Now, Wills has taken on a translation of the first of four books of the Confessiones, "Childhood".

The Confessions of St. Augustine has a special place among the world's greatest books. As Augustine reflects upon his life in the light of Scripture and the presence of God, he reveals how you can find the way to rest securely in Jesus, discern good from evil, avoid false spiritual pursuits, and know the will of God. He begins with his infancy, pondering the many sins of his life before his conversion, and he confesses not only his sins but even more the greatness of God. Here is the timeless conflict between good and evil, portrayed through the life of one man who found spiritual growt...

Christian Classics in Modern English: Practicing the Presence of God/The Imitation of Christ/The Confessions of St. Augustine

Price: $4.50

Publisher: Shaw Books: March 2000

Seller ID: 95620

ISBN: 0877881219

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

With today's accelerated pace of life, preoccupation with careers, and family demands, there is little time for celebrating our humanity--and even less time for seeking God. So how does a twentieth-century believer set about living as a Christian in such a society?

The writings of devout pilgrims such as Brother Lawrence, Thomas Kempis, and St. Augustine refocus our attention on the basics of the Christian journey. Retold in the language and setting of our world today, these classics offer timely messages of startling relevance to Christians and those interested in Christianity.

The Institutes of the Christian Religion

By: Calvin, John

Price: $39.99

Publisher: Banner of Truth: September 2014

Seller ID: 332039

ISBN: 1848714637

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: New

The Institutes of the Christian Religion is Calvin's single most important work. Yet, as many who have purchased an English translation of the final Latin edition of 1559 know only too well, the sheer size of the work and the proliferation of technical details and polemical themes do not make for easy reading. It has left many wishing for an edition that avoided such things but yet kept intact the very heart and soul of Calvin's teaching.

Such an edition is now available, and it is not the work of an editor or an abridger, but of Calvin himself.

Wesley and the Quadrilateral: Renewing the Conversation

Price: $4.00

Publisher: Abingdon Press: August 1997

Seller ID: 352237

ISBN: 0687060559

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

According to The Book of Discipline, Wesley believed that the "living core of the Christian faith" is revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, "vivified" by personal experience, and confirmed by reason. The thesis of Wesley and the Quadrilateral is that the Church needs serious conversation about reappropriating the Quadrilateral in a manner that is consistent with historical Methodist identity (beginning with Wesley), a conversation that takes the church's past identity with the utmost seriousness while recognizing present and future cultural trends.

Engaging Unbelief: A Captivating Strategy from Augustine and Aquinas

Price: $6.50

Publisher: InterVarsity Press: October 2000

Seller ID: 80540

ISBN: 0830822666

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Used - Very Good

Curtis Chang has found vital resources for addressing these issues in the lives of Augustine bishop of Hippo (A.D. 413) and Dominican priest Thomas Aquinas (A.D. 1259). Through a careful study of Augustine's City of God and Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles, Chang has discerned a valuable rhetorical strategy for engaging unbelief in cultural contexts where Christian faith seems less and less plausible.

Building on the contemporary cultural analysis of Alasdair MacIntyre, Christopher Lasch, James Davison Hunter and John Milbank as well as insights gleaned from Lesslie Newbigin and Stanley Hauer...
