Good News for Parents: How God Can Restore Our Joy and Relieve Our Burdens
In Good News for Parents, Adam Griffin offers a refreshing alternative to typical parenting advice. This book reveals how walking by the Spirit can free parents from the anxieties, stress, and self-doubt of parenting. Drawing wisdom from Galatians 5, Griffin demonstrates how each fruit of the Spirit provides the lasting relief they so desperately need. Ultimately, readers will feel more prepared to approach parenting with peace, confidence, and strength, trusting that Jesus is renewing both them and their children day by day.
“The absolute last thing that most parents need is more pressure. That’s why I’m so glad that Adam Griffin wrote something different—a book full of grace and relief for parents. I trust his voice to encourage families by helping them see how much their faith can bless them and their God can unburden them.”
—Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
Finding Freedom in Christ: An 8-Week Study of Galatians
In Galatians, the apostle Paul teaches the church how Jesus brings salvation from sin and death. Join Bible teacher Portia Collins as she leads an 8-week exegetical journey through this New Testament book. Passage by passage, readers learn how to search out the context and meaning of Paul’s teachings, contemplate questions of theology and faith, and engage in practical reflection and application. Uncovering the liberating and transformative power of God’s grace, this accessible study helps women live free in Christ.
“Portia Collins’s first encounter with the gospel in the book of Galatians proved to be a watershed experience for her, as it has been for countless others. It led her into a life of freedom, hope, and joy she had never known was possible. Now she guides you on a journey through this small but mighty epistle, desiring that you, too, will discover the transforming, amazing grace of Christ in a fresh way.”
—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Founder and Bible Teacher, Revive Our Hearts
The Message of the Old Testament: Promises Made
Based on sermons in the early years of Mark Dever’s ministry at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, The Message of the Old Testament explores the Old Testament as a glorious whole so that readers are able to see the big picture of the majesty of God and the wonder of his promises.
“This is a bold project, some might say foolhardy, but Mark Dever has brilliantly succeeded. This is no mere textbook; it is powerful preaching. We are not only introduced to the sweep and message of each book of the Bible but also, and above all, confronted by our great God and called to obey his living word.”
—Vaughan Roberts, Rector, St Ebbe’s Church, Oxford, United Kingdom
The Message of the New Testament: Promises Kept
Based on 28 sermons in the early years of Mark Dever’s ministry at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, The Message of the New Testament surveys the historical context, organization, and theology of each New Testament book, in light of God’s Old Testament promises. Dever’s message echoes that of the New Testament—one of fulfilled hope.
“Here is a vigorous, juicy, engaging, life-centered, God-honoring set of sermons brilliantly overviewing the entire New Testament: a truly rich resource from which to benefit and borrow. Dever is a Puritan in twenty-first-century clothing, and it shows.”
—J. I. Packer, Late Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College
