Beyond Amazing Grace by J. Todd Murray $17.99 | Paperback | 278 pages | Evangelical Press OUR PRICE: $13.50 No one who knew young John Newton would ever have dreamed that this teen rebel, profane sailor, and slave-trader would one day write the hymn ‘Amazing Grace’. The story of how such a notorious sinner was converted to Christ and went on to become a pastor and Christian leader in 18th-century England is simply astounding. Todd Murray's book makes Newton’s gentle pastoral wisdom available to a new generation of readers. 'While Newton is known primarily as author of the Hymn, “Amazing Grace” he was actually a very competent physician of the soul, both in diagnosing its ills and providing the Scriptural remedy. Unfortunately our current Christian public has benefited little from the work of this amazing man. Now Todd Murray has done us an outstanding favor by making available to us both the writings and the hymns of Newton. I highly commend this book and look forward to reading it many times.' — Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

By His Grace and For His Glory: A Historical, Theological and Practical Study of the Doctrines of Grace in Baptist Life by Tom Nettles $34.95 | Hardcover | 486 pages | Founders Press OUR PRICE: $27.50 "This is simply the best book there is on the subject at hand. Dr. Nettles is a superb historian and he traces with careful attention to the sources the history of the doctrines of grace within the Baptist heritage. An important resource for reclaiming the past in the service of a future shaped by the great tradition of Bunyan, Keach, Fuller, Carey, Spurgeon, Boyce and Carroll." -- Dr. Timothy George, Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Sanford University, Birmingham, AL "A landmark study. Bringing together the disciplines of the school, the concerns of the preacher and the heart of a Christian, Nettles effectively reminds Baptists of our own day what so many before us believed to be the gospel." -- Dr. Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. "Twenty years after its first appearance, Tom Nettles' book remains an important work for modern Baptists. His major historical thesis - that the doctrines of grace formed a theological consensus among Baptists in the Southern states for the mid-19th century into the first quarter of the 20th century - has not seriously been engaged, much less refuted, by detractors and others who are less than thrilled by this doctrinal heritage. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to be honest when assessing historical Southern Baptist theology." -- Dr. Tom Ascol, Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Cape Coral, FL Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:
