God’s Riches

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:38:00 +0000

Book Description

Many Christians who recognize that disciplined, systematic study is essential to Christian growth find it difficult to know how to put their goals into practice and feel the need for guidance. God’s Riches helps to supply this need.

Written in the form of an instruction manual, it serves as an introductory work-book to Christian doctrine. Containing a series of study units it is carefully balanced between providing information and directing study. Its authors lead the student through the biblical teaching on God and his character, works and sovereignty, man and his sin, redemption in Christ and the way of grace. New Christians will find God’s Riches and valuable introduction to the central themes of Scripture; all who use it will benefit from the encouragement it gives to a deeper knowledge of God’s truth.

Sketches From Church History

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:38:00 +0000

Book Description

Since its first appearance in 1980, Sketches from Church History by S. M. Houghton has been a firm favourite with those seeking an overview of the onward march of the church of Christ from its earliest days to the end of the nineteenth century. ‘Here at last’, said one reviewer, ‘is a book which makes church history enjoyable.’ More recently Sketches has become established as a textbook in Christian schools and among home-schooling families, and one list of favourite home-school books on Amazon.com placed it third overall in general usefulness. Now teachers and home-schoolers have a new tool to make Sketches even more useful: a Workbook on Sketches from Church History by Rebecca Frawley. Complete with an 18-week course syllabus, questions and answers, charts, time lines, maps, puzzles, and essay topics, this Workbook will be an invaluable companion to Sketches from Church History. It is spiral-bound for ease of use.

‘I believe that you will find the study on which you are about to embark both intellectually satisfying and spiritually enriching. It will certainly inform you; more than that, it will help you to see what a glorious thing it is to be a Christian.’– SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON

Book Description

Though we can never, in our time-bound state, know the future in detail, God in his mercy has not left us in complete ignorance of what is to come. His revelation in Holy Scripture has cast a flood of light on what would otherwise be an impenetrable mystery.

This helpful new study guide is based on Cornelis P. Venema’s highly acclaimed book, The Promise of the Future, which is also published by Banner of Truth.
