God’s covenant of grace with His elect people in Jesus Christ—a truth that lies at the very heart of the Reformed faith and life—is the subject of this significant study. The focus of this book is the unity of the covenant in all dispensations and the sovereignty of God’s grace in establishing and maintaining the covenant. Some of the topics considered are the covenant with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Old Testament Israel, and the New Testament church; the mediator of the covenant; infant baptism; and the believer’s part in the covenant. A Scripture index is included. A reader from England says, "It has been such a blessing to me and truly one of the best books I have ever read. It’s pure gold! It has solved a problem I had with the works of many of the best theologians (past and present)—the convict between God’s sovereign grace and God’s covenant viewed as an agreement."

God's Everlasting Covenant of Grace

Hanko, Herman

Reformed Free Publishing Assn.

Only in Christ Jesus is a woman beautiful. Nine Reformed writers show from Scripture that God graces His daughters with the adornments of faith and virtue. The authors demonstrate clearly, on the basis of God's revelation, that the believing woman's joy and contentment in Christ Jesus is attained in Christian service to her husband and her covenant children. This is the God-given norm. 
Far above Rubies encourages the believing woman not to envy the woman of the world but to witness to all of her blessedness in fulfilling her God-given role. 
Let young men and husbands of all ages be reminded by reading this book of their great blessing from their God, who gives to them His redeemed daughters as our sisters, wives, and mothers.

Throughout the ages God has led His church ever deeper into the truth by way of controversy and strife. Ready to Give an Answer tells how one, small body of Reformed believers-the Protestant Reformed Churches- was born in a struggle to defend the sovereignty of God in salvation over against the false teaching of a well-meant gospel offer rooted in the corrupting theory of common grace, and it tells how, only twenty-five years later, this same denomination was almost destroyed, as once again the forces of Arminianism, clothed now in a conditional covenant, did battle with the doctrines of sovereign grace. 
From these two controversies has emerges the distinctively scriptural Protestant Reformed teaching regarding the one and everlasting covenant of grace, that living and unbreakable bond of friendship and fellowship between God and His chosen people, a covenant purposed eternally, established unilaterally, and effected and maintained solely by the power of God's unconditional and particular grace. 
A brief introduction by Professor Herman Hanko establishes the historic and doctrinal setting for each of the struggles. Then, in an easy-to-read-and-remember series of questions and answers, the authors draw evidence from Scripture and the confessions, contrasting the bankruptcy of a conditional covenant and its salvation offered to all who will believe to the richness of a covenant whose realization is unfettered by the will of man and of a grace that is always full and free. 
Ready to Give an Answer will be of interest to all who love the cause of God and truth, for it is the story of sovereign grace, a story that gives all the glory to God, who preserves His cause in the midst of the world, and makes His truth to triumph.

"We" (the elect people of God) and "our children" are and should be inseparably linked because they both belong to the covenant of grace. Many Baptists deny this beautiful truth when they refuse to baptize their children. Using Scripture as his guide, the author develops the truth of God's covenant as it relates to the baptism of the infants of believers.

El Eterno Pacto de Gracia de Dios es una exposición interesante y completa de lo que el Dr. Roger Smalling ha llamado 'el hilo de oro' de las doctrinas de la gracia. El autor define el pacto con un enfoque pleno en Dios, lo trata desde la perspectiva histórica, y desarrolla lógicamente una perspectiva apropiada que permite que el lector reformado armonice las doctrinas de la predestinación doble y la soberanía de Dios con la verdad del pacto de la gracia.

The Rise of Heresy and the Development of the Truth The history of the Christ's church is a record of battles fought for the truth. Peter warned the New Testament church that false teachers would creep into the church, bringing in their destructive heresies. Over the last two millennia, heretics have sought to undermine the foundation of the church by attaching every area of doctrine. And the attacks continue to the present day. A right knowledge of these heretics and their pernicious errors is essential if the church will defend the truth over against the various current forms of the lie. Therefore, a book that describes the heretics in their historical setting is immensely valuable. Contending for the Faith is such a book. In a unique way, Contending for the Faith presents the history of heretics that have troubled the church over the last two thousand years. What sets the book apart is its evaluation of every heresy from a consistently and unashamedly Reformed perspective. The reader will readily grasp the significance of the early heretics as Herman Hanko demonstrates the connection between their heresies and the errors from AD 100 (Marcion) to the present day (federal vision theology). The vibrant writing style brings the heretics, ancient and modern, to life. This trustworthy guide to the heretics equips believers today to contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 3).

Contending for the Faith: The Rise of Heresy and the Development of the Truth

History

World

Today the central doctrine of the Reformation - justification by faith alone - is under attack, even by many in historically Reformed and Presbyterian denominations. Under the guise of a new perspective on Paul, revisionist theologians are resurrecting the old heresy of justification by faith and works. They give this a new name the federal vision. But it is nothing else than the error of the Judaizers that Paul condemns in the Epistle to the Galatians. In direct contradiction of this heresy, the author stands squarely in the tradition of Luther and Calvin. From an uncompromisingly Reformed perspective, he clearly and positively expounds the epistle, emphasizing the truth of justification by faith alone, as well as the liberty this truth gives to God's people.

Justified Unto Liberty: Commentary on Galatians

The believers James is writing to faced many problems as they made the transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament. James addresses these issues that the early Christians faced, including trials and temptations, true religion, wisdom, the use of the tongue, the judgment of the rich, patience, and spiritual help in trouble. This eminently practical book gives instruction for living the Christian life in many of its aspects. A salient feature is the relation between justification and works, which James explains by the examples of Abraham and Rahab.

Faith Made Perfect: Commentary on James

Does the eternal, unchangeable, all-powerful, and sovereign God really have a temporal, changeable and weak desire to save those whom he has unconditionally reprobated (Rom. 9:22), for whom the Son did not die (John 12:31) and whom the Holy Spirit will not regenerate, sanctify or glorify (John 3:8)? Pelagianism, semi-Pelagianism, Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, Anabaptism, Arminianism, Amyraldism, and Marrowism say yes to the well-meant offer of the gospel. The biblical, Augustinian, Reformed, and creedal position is no! Emeritus professor of church history, Herman Hanko, guides us through fascinating doctrinal controversies in the early, Reformation and modern eras of the church, taking us to North Africa, Switzerland, France, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, and America, and emphasizing the teaching of the great theologians, such as Augustine and John Calvin, on God’s particular grace, which is always irresistible and never fails or is frustrated.In dealing with the historical perspective of God's absolutely sovereign grace versus the well-meant offer, this book fills a gap in the literature, and does so in a way that is warm and easily understood.

Corrupting the Word of God: The History of the Well-Meant Offer

Hoeksema, Mark H.

Read about old favorites, such as Augustine and Luther, and learn about the obscure, though equally influential Christians, such as Cocceius and Olevianus.
