The 1689 Handbook
£11.99 - £14.99
A chapter-by-chapter introduction to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith Many Reformed Baptist churches worldwide and across the generations have adopted The 1689 Baptist Confession as an expression of their beliefs about what the Bible teaches. The Confession summarises what the Bible says about the core topics of the Christian faith: Scripture, God, Christ, humanity, sin and salvation, the Church and the end times. Across history it has proven itself to be an effective way for churches to make known what they believe, to instruct their membership on the essentials of the faith and to guard against error. These benefits continue to be enjoyed by churches across cultures today. Written with doctrinal insight, pastoral experience and a teacher's heart, The 1689 Handbook mines the Confession's riches, bringing its key teachings home to the reader with clarity and helpful application for bath individual Christians and local churches. The unity and coherence of the Confession are emphasised throughout the book, helping the reader to enjoy it as an organic whole and to see how each doctrine fits together. Study questions enable the book to be used in small groups and in wider church settings. E-book comes free with purchase of physical title.

Good, Bad, No Dad?
£8.99 - £14.99
Those who experience Fatherlessness know it is like a constant shadow cast over the whole of life. Fatherless people can feel a lasting wound in their lives and may experience an identity crisis that robs them of significance and security. They lack a blueprint for manhood, relationships, and parenthood. It forms a deficit in human society. This book is a comprehensive study of the father deficit in contemporary society and of fatherhood in the Bible, culminating in what it is to know God as Father. In a format that suits individual and group study, this book explores various forms of fatherlessness and seeks to hear what the Bible says about human fathers and God the Father. The book opens a window on what it feels like to be fatherless through a range of personal stories, including that of the author. There is also a challenge for churches to consider how they can better care for the fatherless. There are no quick fixes for fatherlessness and the gaping hole it leaves in our society, but this book shows how the gospel can transform relationships. For those who feel hopeless because of this issue, this book points to the hope and help found in the God of the Bible, the Father to the fatherless. This is available as a Print Book and an E-bookAlso availableFree companion resources aimed at those who have pastoral and preaching responsibilitiesAvailable to download free here

Gospel Church Government
£10.00 - £12.00
A simplified and abridged version of John Owen's The True Nature of a Gospel Church and Its Government (first published in 1689). Theologian John Owen (1616-1683) is well known for his devotional and doctrinal works, sometimes dealing with controversial church issues of his day. He developed strong biblical convictions about the doctrine of the church, expressed in The True Nature of a Gospel Church and Its Government. As much as the Puritans were focused on local church ministry, manuals of pastoral care or local church theology are relatively rare. Owen’s The True Nature of a Gospel Church and Its Government is one of a few exceptions. This addresses the role of the congregation in the government of a local church and the role of church officers (ministers, elders, teachers, and deacons). Owen outlines a biblical understanding of church discipline, attempting to correct abuses and offer practical counsel. Finally, he stresses the importance of local churches sharing in fellowship with other like-minded gospel churches. This simplified and abridged version of Owen’s work allows today’s readers to encounter his thoughts and conclusions and to be encouraged and challenged to consider how churches can follow and apply scriptural patterns. Author info: Dr. Jeffrey T. Riddle is pastor of Christ Reformed Baptist Church in Louisa, Virginia. He also serves as adjunct Professor of New Testament at the International Reformed Baptist Seminary (IRBS) in Mansfield, Texas. He blogs at jeffriddle.net and hosts the Word Magazine podcast.
