Daily Devotional ReadingsReviewed by Robert RodgersEvangelical Times â February 1987For some people a book of daily readings is a devotional aid, âa series of little helps heavenward,â as someone once called them. If that is your idea then buy this book because it is one with a difference! Instead of milk there is strong meat and in place of general statements there is an express and robust presentation of the fundamental doctrines of Scripture. This is not to say that the book is not devotional! Indeed, as one reads and responds to the teaching presented here, the teaching finds its fulfillment in worship and instruction its consummation in praise. On the debit side might well be placed the fact that because the book is thematic, passages of Scripture are dealt with in a degree of isolation. In other words, there is not the progressive reading through whole books of the Bible which, in and of itself, is so beneficial. The use of the word progressive, however, reminds one that this book, in addition to providing a daily encounter with the great doctrinal themes of Scripture, could well be used as a basis for Bible class discussion. Certainly there is ample material and here we are back to the credit side. See, for example, the authorâs discussion on pages 149-152 of progressive sanctification! Buy the book and inform your mind. Read the book and warm your heart. Use the book and enrich your worship.

Everyone likes a love story with a happy ending. The story of Ruth and Boaz has special appeal to believers, because we see in it an outline of our own spiritual history and of our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, our Kinsman Redeemer, of whom Boaz was a type. Don Fortner shows that this story has two great themes, one hidden, the other revealed. The hidden theme is divine providence. The minute affairs of our lives, as well as the great affairs, the private as well as the public affairs of our experiences, are arranged and determined by God's wise and good providence. The revealed theme is redemption and grace. Boaz was Ruth's close relative, the one who had the right to redeem. As such, he portrays our great, incarnate God and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who has willingly fulfilled the part of the redeeming relative for us. As we contemplate his great love for us, which far exceeds the love of any on this earth, we are stimulated to deeper love and devotion to him and his service. Commending Don Fortner's earlier title, The Church of God, one reviewer wrote: 'Scripturally sound, his treatment is extremely comprehensive, fully detailed, and given with absolute conviction.' CLC Floodtide Don Fortner lives in Danville, Kentucky where he is pastor of Grace Baptist Church. He is a regular conference speaker and the author of several books, including The Church of God - What it means to belong and Life After Pentecost - A Guide to the Acts of the Apostles, both published by Evangelical Press.

Christian Books & Bibles

The singular subject, theme, and message of the entire Bible, the Old Testament and the New, is the person, work and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. As in creation, providence and redemption, so in the Holy Scriptures, it is the purpose of God 'that in all things he might have the pre-eminence'. The Book is a book all about Christ. It is a 'him' Book. In this further work in Don Fortner's 'Discovering Christ' series, he turns to the last book of the Bible and shows how indeed it is 'the revelation of Jesus Christ'. Again the author's intent is not to provide a full exposition of the book, but to see Christ as the focus, not just of this book, but of all Scripture.

Discovering Christ In Mark

Foreword The Gospel of John is in some respects the most unique book in holy scripture. The first sentence, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God”, sets forth the majesty and glory of the person of Christ. In mostly one-syllable words the Holy Spirit through John sets forth the infinite truth of Christ. Who can plumb the depths of, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”? In this book Pastor Don Fortner faithfully sets forth the glories of the person of Christ and the completeness of the salvation that is in Him. Every believer responds to this with Paul, “Oh that I may win Christ, and be found in Him.” Todd Nibert , PastorTodds Road Grace ChurchLexington, Kentucky
