IN LIGHT OF ETERNITY
The Life of Leonard Ravenhill
by Mack Tomlinson
"If you are comfortable in your Christian life
I would not recommend reading this book."
A.W. Tozer said of Ravenhill, "Those who know of Leonard Ravenhill recognize in him the religious specialist, the man sent from God to battle the priests of Baal on their own mountain top, to shame the careless priest at the altar, to face the false prophet, and to warn the people who are being led astray by him. Such a man as this is not an easy companion. He insists on being a Christian all the time and everywhere. That marks him out as different. Why do we have men of such fiery swords as Ravenhill? They are sick inside when they see the children of heaven acting like the sons of earth. To such men as these, the church owes a debt too heavy to pay."
Paul David Washer said recently, "I was introduced to Leonard Ravenhill at the very beginning of my Christian pilgrimage and the impact of his life upon mine remains until this day. He lived as one who dwelt in the shadow of the Almighty and he preached as one sent from God. He knew God's presence, wore His mantle, bore His burdens, and spoke His truth. He was the rarest of commodities in his day and ours - a man of God."
David Ravenhill said the following about his beloved father, "My father lived daily in light of eternity, always seeking to please the One who enlisted him as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Before he ever stood in the pulpit, he stood before God. He was a man of prayer. Prayer was his life and his preaching reflected the fact that he had been alone with God."
Ravi Zacharias wrote, "The truth is, even though I am known now as an apologist for the Christian faith, dealing with the intellectual issues of Christianity, I really owe my passion for God, for prayer and for true revival that initially began in me, to Leonard Ravenhill. He, by God's grace, was the catalyst that has caused the passion to know God to continue to this day."
Richard Owen Roberts wrote, "When Leonard Ravenhill preached, he was like a shotgun--he hit you all over! When he stepped into the pulpit, he preached! His boldness, his plainness of speech, and his confrontational approach in preaching was greatly used by God. He did not sway the masses in society, but he did influence a multitiude of people. I would dare to say if you could put together a list of everyone whose life Leonard influenced, you would have a vast array of people."
Al Whittinghill wrote the following in the Foreword, "It was my privilege to know Leonard for over twenty-five years and to have him as a prayer partner and mentor. He became a father in the faith and in the ministry to me. Only heaven will reveal the colossal influence he had on the kingdom of God by his passionate desire to encourage preachers and to propel them into the arena of God-sent revival."
Mack Tomlinson, the author, wrote the following: "My prayer is that the record of such a man of God will glorify the Lord Jesus Christ today among a new generation. The kingdom of Christ still needs men and women who have the godliness, passion, prayerfulness, zeal, seriousness, self-denial, and divine unction that possessed Leonard Ravenhill. His example can stimulate godliness, prayerfulness, and a high view of God and the gospel among Christians of today and tomorrow."

Three Great Ravenhill Titles on Revival
|
|
WHY REVIVAL TARRIES
A Modern Classic on Revival
Leonard Ravenhill
There are more than 500,000 copies of WHY REVIVAL TARRIES in print, including editions in Arabic, Chinese, Finnish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Malayan, Nigerian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Telgu and Urdu.
Leonard Ravenhill's call to revival is as timely now as it was when first published over forty years ago. The message is fearless and often radical as he expounds on the disparity between the New Testament church and the church today. 'Why Revival Tarries' contains the heart of his message.
A.W. Tozer called Ravenhill "a man sent from God" who "appeared at [a] critical moment in history," just as the Old Testament prophets did. Included are questions for group and individual study.
Ravi Zacharias refers to this as "the book that shaped me more dramatically than any other."
One reviewer wrote: "Leonard Ravenhill was a man of passion. His books represent just a taste of that passion. No other book in the 20th century so captured the heart of a man like this book. Brother Leonard longed for revival. He believed that the Church was playing games with a holy God and that the need of the hour was for genuine revival praying.
This book is not a how to of prayer. It is much more. It is a call to prayer. It is a much needed rebuke of our spiritual laziness and apathy (Amos 4:1). We need men and women of faith to rise up and pray with all their might (1 Samuel 12:23; 1 Thess. 5:17). The sad reality is that the early Church was birthed in prayer (Acts 1:14) but today's church knows nothing of prayer. The prayer meeting, writes Ravenhill, is the Cinderella of the Church. Let this book go through you and may God use it to spark a hunger for Spirit-filled praying (Eph. 6:18; Jude 20)."

Dr. Cornelius Venema, President and Professor of Doctrinal Studies at Mid-America Reformed Seminary, clearly and engagingly leads the reader not only to understand the background and the doctrine of the Canons of Dort but also to see how its faithful exposition of biblical truth gives us great comfort and confidence in God�s promises.
-Nine chapters, with study questions after each chapter
-Excellent resource for study groups
-Includes the full text of the Canons of Dort.
"Many believers who sing lustily John Newton's 'Amazing Grace' or the familiar hymn, 'I Love to Tell the Story,' need to understand in greater depth and fullness the biblical teaching that salvation is by grace alone through Christ alone. There is no single Christian confession that sings more vigorously of God's grace in Christ toward His people than the Canons of Dort." - from the preface

Meeting Jesus at the Feast
Israel's Festivals and the Gospel

|
MEETING JESUS AT THE FEAST
Israel's Festivals and the Gospel
by John R. Sittema
Dr. Sittema, author of the well-beloved 'With a Shepherd's Heart,' is the author of this marvelous new book, exploring the Old Testament feasts and how they are fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
"Seldom will you have heard the whole gospel more clearly than in this book. It's written with an artistry likely to move you to wonder and a passion directed to lead you to praise. The church needs this study for her recovery of Scripture's unity, of its cosmic storyline, and of its whole life-changing power. This work satisfies the reader on so many levels at once: straightforward Bible study, warm pastoral proclamation, careful cultural assessment, and a taste of rejoicing that only God's children know. What a gift for storytelling! What a pleasure to read! More, more, I say!" - Nelson D. Kloosterman, Professor of New Testament and Ethics, Mid-America Reformed Seminary
"This book is filled with breathtaking insights into the Scriptures. These become sweet moments in which you will see the greatness of Jesus Christ as he is revealed in both the Old and New Testament Scriptures." - Frank Reich, M. Div., President of Reformed Theological Seminary
"Many see the name Jesus and immediately think of the New Testament, but his presence is the scarlet thread running through the pages of the Old Testament as well. In 'Meeting Jesus at the Feast,' John Sittema pulls back the curtain on the Hebrew festivals of the Old Testament to reveal Jesus sitting at the head of the table. He brings to light how each of the God-ordained feasts and festivals point to a future manifestation of the person and work of Jesus Christ. By unveiling the purpose and passion behind each of the seven celebrations, John helps us grasp a deeper and richer understanding of God's redemptive plan through his Son." - Sharon Jaynes, Author of Building an Effective Women's Ministry and The Power of a Woman's Words

CRISIS IN THE REFORMED CHURCHES
Essays in Commemoration of the Great Synod of Dort
Peter De Jong, Editor
Essays by John Murray, Cornelius Van Til...
336 PAGE HARDCOVER VOLUME!
"Forty years ago the Board of Reformed Fellowship commissioned nine men, who today would be considered a 'Who's Who' in Reformed theology, to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Synod of Dort. Under the leadership of the editor, Dr. Peter Y. De Jong, these giants in the faith wrote on a variety of topics regarding this great event in Reformed history. Their contributions brought to the Christian community a greater understanding of the history and necessity of the Synod of Dort, the key figures involved in the Synod, and the application of the decisions made at the Synod to the tumultuous times within the church during the sixties. Each article reflected not only the expertise of the writer, but also his love for the Reformed faith..."
With these words Wybren Oord, editor of The Outlook, begins the introduction to this new printing of Crisis in the Reformed Churches.
Forty years after the original publication, we have reprinted this book in a new, attractive format. Completely re-typeset and with numerous corrections to the original text, this hardcover book will be valuable resource for those interested in the formation of the doctrine of grace.

God became more real to me than ever and the gospel of His sovereign grace virtually jumped off the pages with clarity and power."
"The more I studied Baptist history and the theology of our founders, the more I saw that I believed what they believed. I am forever indebted to these men who have given us some of the finest theological works in all of Christian history."

JOHN CALVIN: MAN OF GOD'S WORD
Written and Preached

BRAND NEW BANNER OF TRUTH TITLE!
Peter Barnes explores Calvin's understanding of the Bible as the Word of God and shows the Reformer's wholehearted commitment to Scripture as revealed in his theological writings, commentaries and sermons.

The sermons and discourses in this volume chart the rise and decline of the Great Awakening in Jonathan Edwards's parish in Northampton, Massachusetts, and beyond. A leading figure of the revival period, Edwards delivered potent and wide-ranging sermons during the years 1739-42.

COMFORT IN AFFLICTION
by James Buchanan
Here is a genuine, spiritual comfort for Christians whose path leads them through the depths of affliction. Written with the warm sympathy of a pastor's heart, this is a book intended to lead the sufferer to look with a single eye to the God of all comfort. It consists of a dozen meditations, each starting with the words of Psalm 119:50, "This is my comfort in mine affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me." These meditations will lead anyone who reads them to the fountains of grace and mercy. Hear his opening words addressed To The Afflicted: "Mourners in Zion, be comforted! if yours be a life of sorrow, your is also a religion of hope."
Author James Buchanan (1804-1870) was born in Scotland in 1804 and ordained in 1827 in the Church of Scotland. In 1828 he commenced a very successful ministry at North Leith where he gained a great reputation as an earnest, eloquent, evangelical preacher. In 1845 he was appointed to the Chair of Apologetics at New College, Edinburgh, and in 1847 he succeeded Thomas Chalmers as Professor of Systematic Theology. He retired in 1868 and died two years later. Buchanan was a prolific and popular writer: his first book, Comfort in Affliction (1837), sold nearly 30,000 copies. His two most valuable works were The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit (1842), an exposition which still merits study, and The Doctrine of Justification, published by us at Solid Ground.

FOUR MORE LIMITED QUANTITY
P & R TITLES REDUCED AGAIN
|
|
(1) PREACHING AND BIBLICAL THEOLOGY by Edmund Clowney
Clowney's work is utterly relevant to the church and those who long for their sermons to be clothed with the Spirit's power. What else could enflame preaching but the glorious proclamation of what God has done in Christ in history? Whether he goes into the pulpit or the lectern, Clowney provides both a tonic to the tired preacher and a caution to the theologian who might divorce systematic theology from biblical theology. It provides the bible student with a hermeneutic that sees Christ, properly interpreted, in all scripture, thus avoiding trite moralizing.
Marten Woudstra wrote: "This volume should receive wide circulation and close attention by anyone who seeks to preach God's Word to our generation within the context of modern thought. Our preaching will be the richer for reading this book."
LIST PRICE $12.00 - SGCB PRICE $6.95
(2) CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS: 2nd Edition by Cornelius Van Til
This book is an excellent introduction to Cornelius Van Til's presuppositional apologetic. Written as an introductory work for his students at Westminster Seminary, it includes the theological foundations of the method and the philosophical, epistemological, and methodological issues surrounding apologetics. Van Til spends much of this book explaining the shortcomings of the Roman Catholic and Arminian apologetic methods while demonstrating how the Reformed presuppositional framework is the proper framework to employ when apologizing from a Biblical worldview. I recommend this book to any person looking for a solid introduction to Van Tillian thought written by Van Til himself and including insightful comments by William Edgar, professor of apologetics at Westminster Seminary.
Richard Gaffin wrote: "The appearance of this edition is most welcome. Its value is only enhanced by the editor's comments, which are invariably helpful, never intrusive."
LIST PRICE $13.00 - SGCB PRICE $7.15
(3) CHRIST OF THE COVENANTS by O. Palmer Robertson
The Christ of the Covenants successively treats the various covenants of the Old Testament from an exegetical and biblical-theological perspective. The richness of a covenantal approach to understanding the Bible is presented, along with interaction with other viewpoints.
Derek Kidner writes: "I now know where to look for a clear, thorough and fair-minded exposition of this great subject."
LIST PRICE $15.00 - SGCB PRICE $7.95
(4) FAITH WORTH SHARING: A Lifetime of Conversations About Christ by Jack Miller
A Faith Worth Sharing by John C. Miller is, as the subtitle suggests, a book chronicling one man's experiences sharing Jesus with an array of different people in many situations. But it's much more than that. It's also Miller's confession of his own sin and God's gracious working through his desire to see Christ's kingdom spread to sanctify him as well.
Jerry Bridges wrote: "... a fascinating sketch of Jack Miller's journey from atheism to pastor, evangelist, and missionary."

"In the history of the church'ssanctification I don't believe there has been a more valuableextra-biblical resource and tool than the Puritan HardDrive. It holds some of the most priceless Reformed works ofGod-centered and Christ-glorifying truth that were everpenned.
Most students, ministers and scholars of the Bible would never personally acquire even half the literal number of books on the Puritan Hard Drive, much less the extreme caliber of its contents. In God's providence modern day Christians have been chosen to be the recipients of both a theological and practical blessing. May we not squander it. - Matthew McMahon, Ph.D., A Puritan's Mind

THE GRACE OF REPENTANCE
by Sinclair Ferguson
Out of the Protestant Reformation came several important doctrines, including a renewed understanding of repentance. Instead of viewing repentance as a one-time confession, the reformers began to teach what the Bible teaches; that it is both radical and perpetual.
In this redesigned, concise volume Sinclair Ferguson examines how the Bible defines repentance and how the doctrine has fared in today's evangelical churches. He finds many sorely lacking in proper theological understanding: "Once again we need to proclaim the full-orbed doctrine of repentance within an evangelical world that has begun to manifest symptoms of the same medieval sickness." This reversion to a kind of medieval theology includes the viewing of repentance as an isolated, emotional event.
Ferguson combats this trend by pointing us toward repentance in the Bible. As we embrace continual confession and turning from sin, we will find our spiritual walk transformed and our fellowship with Christ renewed. This is an important book for every Christian who wants the grace of repentance to regain rightful prominence in evangelical churches, and in their own lives as well.
Sinclair B. Ferguson is the senior minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina, and professor of systematic theology at Redeemer Seminary in Dallas. He is the author of several books, the most recent being In Christ Alone: Reflections on the Heart of the Gospel, and Westminster Directory of Public Worship (co-authored with Mark Dever). Sinclair and his wife, Dorothy, have four grown children.
