This practical introduction to Reformed spirituality demonstrates, in Philip Graham Ryken’s words, that "the doctrines of grace help to preserve all that is right and good in the Christian life: humility, holiness, and thankfulness, with a passion for prayer and evangelism." 
Ryken continues, "The true Calvinist ought to be the most outstanding Christian—not narrow and unkind, but grounded in God’s grace and therefore generous of spirit."

Three pastor-scholars explore the meaning for evangelical's today of the Nicene Creed's affirmation of the church as one holy, catholic, and apostolic.

The Church: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic

The book of Galatians was written for recovering Pharisees. By trying to base their standing with God on their spiritual performance, the Galatians were in danger of denying the gospel. They needed to hear again the liberating message that we are justified not by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. The church today needs to embrace that same gospel message. "We are legalists by nature," Philip Ryken writes, and Galatians "challenges many of our preconceptions about what it means to have a right relationship with God." This first commentary in the Reformed Expository Commentary series is for people who want to experience the gospel in all its power, especially teachers and preachers who are looking for a clear, thorough, relevant exposition of Paul's letter to the Galatians. Ryken exemplifies the objectives of the series by providing exposition that is biblical, doctrinally sound, redemptive-historical (centering on Christ), and practical. "Some commentaries lose the forest for the trees, and others the trees for the forest," says Mark Dever. "This series promises to be both exegetically sensitive and theologically faithful."

Galatians (Reformed Expository Commentary)

"We often hear that Christianity relates to all of life. All of life? Would that include e-mail? DNA? T-Ball? April Fool’s Day?"—From the foreword by Gene Veith 
These topics and more are treated by Philip Ryken, who turns them into meditations on living the Christian life in a culture that has forgotten God, even though he rules just the same. This companion volume to My Father’s World explores the areas of politics, marriage, the arts, science, and many others. These fifty short meditations will help readers make sense of our culture and apply a Christian worldview to whatever issues and circumstances they may face.

Two respected pastors make a compelling case for the need to recover the five fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. We live in an age of weak theology and casual Christianity. And this situation will continue as long as God's people insist on substituting intuition for truth, feeling for belief, and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Yet if evangelicalism will again denounce this self - centered faith and place Christ and his cross at the center of its vision, the church will see great days once more. According to authors James Montgomery Boice and Philip Graham Ryken, this will happen when believers specifically return to the gospel foundation with its doctrines of radical depravity, unconditional election, particular redemption, efficacious grace, and persevering grace. As these two noted pastors provide a compelling exposition of these essential truths, they also consider the current challenges, leaving no doubt that the church suffers when the doctrines of grace are neglected. Only in a faith that is practical - minded, kindhearted, and Bible - based will Christians recover what they have lost in this postmodern age. Now in paperback.

For many of us, the idea of the Trinity feels nebulous and abstract―or even worse, irrelevant. While we may believe this doctrine, we remain strangely disconnected from the reality that God is indeed tri-personal. Yet, Philip Ryken and Michael LeFebvre argue that a deeper knowledge of the Trinity is of the utmost importance for everyday life.
Explaining roles and relationships within the Godhead while tackling difficult questions, Our Triune God offers a helpful guide into the paradoxical mystery of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit―the God of three-in-one.

Our Triune God: Living in the Love of the Three-in-One

LeFebvre, Michael

King Solomon had all the fame and fortune that any man could want. He was the world’s wisest and wealthiest king. And yet, tragically, he threw it all away for the love of money, the pleasures of sex, and the powers of an earthly kingdom.
In studying the life of Solomon, we see both the true greatness and the tragic failure of our own humanity―from godly devotion to self-serving excess. Even in the midst of our best intentions, we are all prone to succumb to the same temptations of money, sex, and power. And if Solomon’s incredible wisdom could not prevent him from such tragic mistakes, then how are we to triumph over the same temptations?
Philip Graham Ryken shows us how, by the grace of God, to prevent those downfalls and to seek God’s glory amid earthly temptations through this rich, Christ-centered study of the life of Solomon.

Loving the Way Jesus Loves successfully integrates biblical teaching, photography, chapter study guides, and a popular-level writing style―all of which will help you understand the profound love of Christ more deeply and, in turn, learn to love more deeply in response.
