One of GPT's main interests is in Baptist church principles and practice. A number of books are currently available:
 | Preparing for Baptism - A Personal Diary Author: Mez McConnell ISBN: 9780946462674 Price: £2-99 This book is designed to help those preparing for baptism to approach their baptism with understanding and commitment. |
 | Should Babies be Baptized Author: Thomas Watson ISBN: 9780946462360 Price: £5-99 The author examines every text of Scripture relating to the subject of baptism, with special reference to those used as proof-texts for infant baptism. He surveys the historical evidence of the first two centuries of the Christian era. He presents a detailed critique of the arguments used in favour of baptizing babies, and marshals nearly 200 quotations from noted paedobaptist authors to show that every argument used by paedobaptists is refuted by other paedobaptists. |
 | We Believe ISBN: 9780946462001 Price: £5-99 This volume contains the Baptist Affirmation of Faith 1966 and A Guide for Church Fellowship. |
 | Special Children Author: Eric Lane ISBN: 9780946462391 Price: £6-99 This is a book for Christian parents who want to know what the Bible has to say about their children. Are they different from other children? Are they different from the children of the old covenant? Are they sinful? If so, when did this begin? Are they morally responsible and, if so, from what age? Can they be converted and, if so, how early can this be looked for? How do we go about bringing them to faith? What happens if they die before that happens or, even worse, before they are capable of being told the Gospel? These and other questions are considered in the light of Scripture. |
 | Only Servants Author: Clifford Pond ISBN: 9780946462247 Price: £6-99 Clifford Pond's book discusses the place, responsibilities and ministries of elders in local churches. |
 | Tell All The World Editors: Don Crisp and Jim Sayers ISBN: 9780946462834 Price: £7-99 This book outlines the Biblical principles of church-based mission and shows how they are being put into practice in different parts of the world. It has been produced to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Grace Baptist Mission. The book is honest and realistic and challenges us as church leaders and Christians to really engage with world mission in the twenty-first century. - Peter Milsom (Director of UFM Worldwide) |
 | I Can Plod Author: John Appleby ISBN: 9780946462742 Price: £14-99 William Carey (1761-1834) was an English Protestant missionary and Baptist minister.

The author, John Appleby, was himself a missionary in India. |
