Using Charles Haddon Spurgeon as a model, this book looks at how the personal spirituality and piety of a pastor is tied to his success and faithfulness in ministry. A Puritan and Calvinistic Baptist heritage served to mould Spurgeon's life and the development of his ministry. The pivotal influence of the writings of John Bunyan, John Gill and Andrew Fuller are examined in detail. Spurgeon's faithful and intimate walk with God undergirded his preaching, teaching and writing ministries and provided the impetus that led him to establish many organizations and societies to relieve poverty, assist people with addictions and provide homes for orphans. C.H. Spurgeon was the preeminent Baptist evangelist/preacher in nineteenth-century England. His sermons crossed the Atlantic and were printed and distributed each week for many years. Today, the advice he gave to ministry students, his extensive sermon collection and his written works continue to teach.

The Old Testament can be difficult to understand and is often neglected today. We may find it confusing, harsh, full of rules, laws and prophecies, strange events or just plain difficult to navigate. We want to get on to the "good stuff" in the New Testament! But Jesus himself stressed the importance of the Old Testament--and it is in studying the Old Testament that we understand his person and work more fully. The entire Bible is God's message about his Son, our Saviour--the whole Bible finds meaning in him. If we are to be gripped by the unfolding historical drama of the Old Testament, thrilled by the evidences of the providence and purpose of God or enthralled by the developing picture of the promised Messiah, we need to first understand the flow of Old Testament narrative and how it fits into God's redemptive purposes. Author Gareth Crossley encourages the people of God with an Old Testament survey that focuses on this thread. The patriarchs, the nation of Israel, the kings and prophets, the widow and the poor, all have great purposes in God's unfolding plan of salvation. In its history, poetry and prophecies, the Old Testament is a glorious message of hope--of looking forward, of seeing God move in both ordinary and miraculous ways as he shows himself to be a gracious and promise-keeping God--and whose Son comes to bring salvation to sinners everywhere and in every age!

This series of essays, grouped thematically, seeks to honour the life and work of the founder of Carey International Pastoral Training, Bob Penhearow. Bob's ministry has been characterized by a desire to reach the nations with the truth of the gospel by training and equipping leaders. Bob's zeal to see God's glory move through nations by the faithful ministry of pastors in local churches has been infectious. His faithfulness over many years has inspired many Christian pastors and leaders in North America and the U.K. to get involved with Carey in training pastors around the world. He has also engaged local sending churches to be vital partners in that work. Soli Deo gloria (To God alone be all the glory)

In this first volume of a systematic trilogy, the reader is confronted with the gracious character of God and the glorious being of God in Trinity. The wonderful revelation of God in and through his Word and creative acts are then examined, followed by the immutable sovereign decrees of God and God's wisdom through providence. To help with our understanding of biblical truth, Dr. Bayes has examined the formation of doctrine from the early church creeds, such as the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, to modern creeds and confessions. Each chapter closes with an emphasis on pastoral application, reinforcing the fact that theology is meant to practically equip the believer for both life and worship.

Usando a Charles Haddon Spurgeon como modelo, este libro analiza como la espiritualidad personal y la piedad de un pastor están ligadas a su éxito y fidelidad en el ministerio. Una herencia Puritana y Calvinista sirvieron para moldear la vida de Spurgeon y el desarrollo de su ministerio. La influencia fundamental de los escritos de John Bunyan, John Gill y Andrew Fuller son examinados en detalle. La fidelidad y el caminar íntimo de Spurgeon con Dios apoyaron su predicación, enseñanza y escritos ministeriales al tiempo que proveyeron el ímpetu que le llevo a establecer una gran cantidad de organizaciones y sociedades para mitigar la pobreza, asistir a la gente con adicciones y proveer casa para los huérfanos. C.H. Spurgeon fue un evangelista/predicador Bautista preeminente en la Inglaterra del siglo diecinueve. Sus sermones cruzaron el Atlántico y fueron impresos y distribuidos cada semana por muchos años. Hoy en día, el consejo que él dio a sus estudiantes de ministerio, su extensiva colección de sermones y sus trabajos escritos continúan enseñando.

A Christian's entire life should proclaim and defend the reality of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This book demonstrates that the Christian faith is rationally sufficient (head), emotionally and morally satisfying (heart) and that the seed of the gospel generates practical acts of loving service in the world (hands). The best defence of the Christian faith is one that engages every area of life and every component of our human nature. Everything is transformed by the truth and power of Jesus, and this book helps Christians see how their renewed minds, cleansed hearts and sanctified hands are all necessary in the defence of their faith. One of the special features of this book is that it illustrates its principles by the life, terminal cancer and death of a young Christian husband and father. Andrew Rozalowsky was a very intelligent young man who was training to be a New Testament scholar. He was married to a wonderful woman and they had two beautiful young sons. As his cancer took its toll, Andrew demonstrated the power and persuasiveness of a hope that is in Christ alone. Andrew's story is woven throughout the arguments of this book, serving as a practical illustration that the truth and power of the gospel is enough for both life and death.

Challenging ethical decisions face believers every day across the world. If Christians are to make solid ethical decisions in life, what is the basis on which they are to make them? This introduction to Christian ethics begins by establishing the biblical, theological and philosophical foundations on which an ethical life can be built. With the basis of a Christian worldview and a solid ethical framework, Christians are able to make coherent moral decisions. Through the study of Scripture and by rational analysis, this book encourages readers striving to build a consistent moral life. The Righteous Will Flourish will help them think through and articulate their Christian ethical position on difficult issues. These include abortion, euthanasia, environmental concerns, sexual expression, medical technologies, war, politics, work and Christian leadership--issues that impact both individual lives and society as a whole.
