Treasury of David

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:12:16 +0000

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” composed and polished The Treasury of David over the span of nearly half his ministry. This incomparable commentary and omnibus on the Psalms has been prized by Christians ever since.

Spurgeon’s own commentary on every verse of the Psalms is extremely insightful, and by itself it would have been rich enough for posterity. But there’s much more in The Treasury of David. You’ll find a wealth of illuminating extracts and quotes from hundreds of commentators—contemporaries of Spurgeon as well as the great Puritan expositors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Preachers and teachers will appreciate the homiletic hints on almost every verse, concise sermon outlines, and provocative seed thoughts. Useful bibliographies and an index of authors offer more practical help.

Whether you’re teaching on the Psalms, studying them for personal devotions, or simply intrigued by the writings of Spurgeon, you’ll enjoy this splendid classic.

Commentary on the Gospel of John

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:12:08 +0000

Bible commentaries by John Calvin (1509-1564), the great theologian of the Reformation, have become a classic in Christian literature. They have served as a foundation for the subsequent protestant interpretation of the Bible. Calvin masterfully explains the text of the Bible, and thus his work, although written in mid-sixteenth century, remains pertinent to this day. This book will be of special interest to those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the Gospel of John.

Commentary on Apostle Paul’s Epistle to Romans and Galatians

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:12:08 +0000

Apostle Paul’s epistle to Romans is one of the key books of the New Testament. This very epistle led to faith such pillars, as Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Wesley. It sets out not only the central protestant doctrine of justification by faith, but also the challenging teaching of original sin and predestination.

Epistle to Galatians is important for the church in all times. There is always a threat of penetration into the church of legalism and teaching of salvation by works. Paul passionately defends God’s grace in this epistle and John Calvin helps us better understand the Apostle.

This thorough study of spiritual gifts will help Christians understand their God-given gifts and how they should use those gifts in the church. Thomas explains each gift, examining them in the light of the Word. He also deals with the issues concerning the source, purpose, and nature of spiritual gifts. Understanding Spiritual Gifts will give readers new insight into how their gifts can be used for God’s glory and service.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of Matthew

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:11:32 +0000

Ryle’s chief aim is to help the reader to know Christ. He also has another object in view. He writes so that his commentaries can be read aloud to a group. There are many other fuller commentaries on the Gospels, but no others make such compelling listening as those of J.C. Ryle.

Ryle’s Expository Thoughts can be used as a help in family worship, or as an aid in pastoral visitation, or simply as a companion to the Gospels in the private reading of Scripture.

The Lamb is All the Glory

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:11:05 +0000

The book of Revelation is the glorious culmination of Scripture. Everything focuses on the one who is the Lord of glory — Jesus Christ. Richard Brooks comes afresh to the message of Revelation with a warm, pastoral exposition that feeds the hearts as well as the mind of the reader. This volume is practical, clearly written, and easy to understand. Above all, it points us to the glorious victory that awaits all those who faithfully follow the Lamb of God.

The interpretation of the book of Revelation has led to a vast array of prophetical and historical schemes that have deterred many Christians from serious study. This volume will help prevent us from being deterred. The visions are clearly explained, and there is, throughout, good application.

Let’s Study Mark

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:10:58 +0000

When John Mark wrote out his good news about Jesus two thousand years ago, his Gospel was a completely new kind of book. No one had ever written one before. In fact no one would have known what a Gospel was…What made the Gospel of Mark unique was this: it was not written merely as the memoir of Jesus as a great man, not even as the greatest man who had ever lived. Rather it was meant to persuade its readers that Jesus was the Son of God…Who is Jesus of Nazareth? What is the good news (gospel) about him?…This book presents us with Mark’s answer. The Let’s Study is a series of commentaries written to encourage ordinary Christians to read, understand, and apply God’s Word. Designed to be used by individuals, in family devotions, or by groups, each volume features an exposition of the text of Scripture and contains a study guide.

Let’s Study Philippians

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:10:58 +0000

Written to the congregation which Paul probably held nearest to his heart, the Letter to the Philippians is full of Christ and overflows with a contagious sense of great joy. The church at Philippi was Paul’s crown and joy. But now, in the apostle’s absence, problems had arisen among these new Christians, threatening their fellowship and their witness. Let’s Study Philippians is the first in a series of commentaries written to encourage ordinary Christians to read, understand and apply God’s word. Designed to be used by individuals, in family devotions, or by groups, each volume features an exposition of the text of Scripture and contains a study guide.

The Golden Alphabet

Bob Feather — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:10:58 +0000

The Golden Alphabet is a commentary by Charles Spurgeon on Psalm 119. Spurgeon was not only an ingenious preacher, but a talented writer as well. While his speech is plain and clear to anyone, his language is full of colorful images. He often expresses his thoughts with the help of aphorisms he creates himself. In this book he unfolds the meaning of each verse of this great psalm and finds application for the lives of today’s Christians. This book is interesting and helpful for a common Christian desiring to know the Bible better as well as for preachers who wish to proclaim the truths of this psalm to their church.
