Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God
      By: J. I. Packer
      Click Here to Purchase Online

If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?  J.I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.

God is the Gospel
     Meditations on God's Love as the Gift of Himself
      By: John Piper
      Click Here to Purchase Online

“Gospel" means good news—but what makes the good news good? What is the goal of the gospel, without which it is no longer good? It is that Christ’s death brings sinners to God! Were it to bring us anywhere else we would be left hopeless. But the gospel is that God gives us himself—Christ died to give us Christ—, and this self-giving is his highest mercy to us and the best news for us!”

Heaven
      By: Randy Alcorn
      Click Here to Purchase Online

Randy Alcorn offers a biblical tour of the place we call heaven. His 516-page treatise challenges our faulty perceptions of the afterlife with the God-given promises of Scripture. He exhorts Christians to replace their contemporary confusion with biblical clarity, calling them to live in light of their future home. One day, we will be with Christ in the place He has prepared for us (John 14:2). Time after time, the Scriptures remind us to keep an eternal mindset and to think on things above. The doctrine of heaven, then, should not be relegated to the tangential and unimportant. Rather, it should be preached, taught, studied, and loved. In calling us to this end, Randy Alcorn has done American evangelicalism a wonderful service. —Nathan Busenitz

The Master's Plan for the Church
      By: John MacArthur
      Click Here to Purchase Online

It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God. And to do that, claims John MacArthur, the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles. Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds. Not to slick celebrities, but to labouring servants.
