"The creation sings to us with the visual beauty of God s handiwork. But what of man-made art? Much of it is devoid of sacred beauty and is often rejected by Christians. Christian artists struggle to find acceptance within the church. If all of life is to be viewed as under the lordship of Christ, can we rediscover what God s plan is for the arts? Philip Graham Ryken brings into sharp focus a biblical view of the arts and the artists who ..."

"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 "c ..."
"What does Christianity have to do with ordinary life? Is there a biblical perspective on our work or recreation or whatever we do? If so, how can we gain that perspective? Many people seek to have a biblical view of life, yet fail to apply that biblical mindset, or worldview, to all parts of their lives. Ryken reveals the basis of the Christian worldview and describes how it affects one's view of God, creation, the family, work, the art ..."

"From worship and prayer to family and the use of money, the book of 1 Timothy is full of implications for life in the local church. But beyond these practical truths for all believers, Ryken writes, "Paul's purpose in 1 Timothy is to help his spiritual son remain true." Thus the book has special application to those in gospel ministry. These truths that helped Timothy in his day are just as applicable to church leaders in ours -- both f ..."

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.

"Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia provides a valuable perspective on the factors that led some conservatives to remain in a denomination that the OPC's founders could not tolerate. Of course, the book deals with much more than that. It is a well-written, informative, and relatively short history of a congregation that through the herculean efforts of nationally prominent preachers is one of the few historic evangelical churches ..."
"These studies offer a guide into deeper study of God s Word, one whole book at a time.

"The Lord's Prayer, the greatest prayer in the Bible, comes from the heart of the Savior, the Son of God, to his Heavenly Father. It is proclaimed at celebrations, cried in times of war, whispered in the face of death. In a society where people are bombarded by worry and concern, violence and evil, it is so important to meet with the Heavenly Father in the intimate solitude of prayer. Pastor Philip Ryken urges readers to recognize the po ..."

"Henrietta Mears With his ability to exercise proven authority apparently impaired,
David lives to see his own sins of murder and adultery replicated in the lives of
his sons. V. Philips Long In the scenic, succinct, and subtle narratives that
constitute the books of Samuel, the danger of“overreading,” of becoming overly
subtle in interpretation, is ever-present, but so is the danger of “underreading.” V.
Philips Long Doctrinally, t ..."
"It is a reader's Bible by virtue of dividing the Bible into units of a size that lends
itself to daily reading or weekly group Bible study. The commentary and tips for
reading appear at the head of passages instead of in footnotes. These leadins,
moreover, move readers into the text that follows, instead of being a distraction
from the text. The introductions to the books of the Bible provide a roadmap that
points out what a reader ..."

"Centuries ago Christ made a claim that disconcerts as many today as it did then-he is the way of salvation. Ironically, he spoke these words to comfort his disciples on the night of his arrest. Richard Phillips is just one of six highly respected authors seeking to reaffirm these comforting words and other exclusive claims of Christianity for today's reader. Each chapter proclaims, defends, and explains the Christian truths that ..."
