Following the Great Awakening under the leadership of such men as jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, the close of the eighteenth century in America saw a second period of revival which was to last longer than the first, and was brought about through the labours of many preachers, less well known than their predecessors, but following faithfully in their footsteps. 'The outpouring of the Spirit of God upon virtually all evangelical denominations could be called "waves of glory" which rolled across hundreds of churches and communities...Whole communities were transformed by the gospel virtually overnight.' One of the evangelists to emerge from this second period of revival was Asahel Nettleton. There can be little doubt that he was one of the greatest evangelists in the history of the church. Literally thousands were converted under his ministry-and spurious converts were the exception rather than the rule! This well-written and well-documented book tells the story of Mettleton's life. He made mistakes, and the author does not cover these up, but he was a powerful preacher who sought to glorify God, and God blessed his ministry. John Thornbury is pastor of Winfield Baptist Church, Pennyslvania where he has ministered for the past twenty-three years. In recent years he has attained a doctorate at Drew University, Madison, New Jersy, and his articles have been published in Eternity and other periodicals. He is married with three children.

The year 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the delivery of this series of lectures delivered by Professor John Murray of Westrminister Theological Seminary, as well as the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. We are honored to be able to produce a new hardcover volume which includes, for the first time, a subject and scriptural index. "John Murray was not only one of the most renowned twentieth-century representatives of classical Reformed theology, but also a highly-respected interpreter of Calvin. Here we have Murray's vigorous refutation of arguments suggesting that Calvin did not teach the inerrancy of Scripture. Murray also demonstrates that Calvin did not consider Christ's identity as the divine Word to be in any way prejudicial to Scripture being the very Word of God as well. There is also a valuable discussion of Calvin's doctrine of divine sovereignty in reprobation and in relation to human sin." - Sherman Isbell "The republishing of this book is most welcome news. I consider it one of Murray's finest works and for it to reappear in 2009 would be most appropriate." - Dr. Richard Gaffin

From Nothing to Nature

Andrews, E. H.

God, Science, and Evolution

There are two irreconcilable views regarding the age of the earth. The evolutionist requires the earth to be around 4,600 million years old, whilst the creationist argues for a young earth of just a few thousand years. What does the Bible say on this fundamental issue and how do we relate this to the scientific evidence? Dr. Monty White, a popular creationist writer and speaker, shows there is no contradiction between the Bible and science, and clearly explains the Biblical arguments and scientific evidence for a young earth.

Do you need help in sermon preparation? How can you make the presentation of your message more effective? Too little of contemporary preaching is really an exposition of what the Word of God actually says. Sincere exhortation and a fund of good stories are no substitute for the convincing power and authority of the Word of God. In calling preachers back to the exposition of the Word, Denis Lane gives definite instruction in the practical details of preparing and preaching a sermon. This book will be valuable for full-time pastors as well as those studying for the ministry and those engaged in lay preaching.

Through Many Dangers: The Story of John Newton

EDWARDS, Brian H.

Leaders & Notable People

The people to whom Peter wrote his first epistle were already undergoing trials of all kinds and were soon to face fierce persecution for their faith at the hands of the cruel Emperor Nero. The apostle writes to encourage and strengthen them in the face of these trials and to remind them of the wonderful blessings and privileges they have in Christ. He has a great deal to say about relationships, both to fellow Christians and to unbelievers, in the workplace and in the home, in the local church and in society at large. In his second epistle Peter warns his readers against another danger that has threatened believers through the ages, that of false teaching. He points them to Gods Word as their one sure light amid the darkness and confusion of error and urges them to live holy lives in the light of the Lords return.
