The Gospel According to Christ's Enemies
by David J. Randall
During his earthly life Jesus had many critics and enemies who sought to discredit him and sometimes trap him in his own words. They said, for example, that he had threatened to destroy the temple, that he was a blasphemer and that he acted in league with the devil. On one occasion some religious leaders ‘grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners”' (Luke 15:1). However, what they intended as an attack gives expression to gospel truth - Jesus did and does welcome sinners; as the apostle Paul wrote, ‘The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners' (1 Tim. 1:15). The Gospel According to Christ's Enemies looks at such attacks in Scripture and also considers contemporary attacks on Christianity which express truths that their speakers do not intend. The book leads us to the gospel according to Jesus Christ himself.

Compiled by David B. MacKinnon
A year of daily devotional readings from the "heavenly Doctor" Richard Sibbes

Gospel Ministry
by John Owen
There are two intended audiences for discourses on the Christian ministry: the pastor or elder who cares for the church, and his congregation who are called to willing and prayerful submission. In Gospel Ministry, a collection of nine sermons delivered in his fruitful later years, John Owen addresses both.
Whether expounding the role of the Holy Spirit in shaping the ministry, presenting the purposes of the church, savouring God's care of his people, or warning against being ashamed of the gospel, Owen's teaching is invaluable for any minister - or member - of the body of Christ.
This book is complemented by its companion volume, Gospel Life, which beautifully sets forth the foundational steps of faith in Christ, assurance, and humble walking with him.

An Odd Cross to Bear:
A Biography of Ruth Bell Graham
by Anne Blue Wills
The fascinating life story, told critically but sympathetically, of a paragon of twentieth-century white Christian womanhood-and the wife of evangelist Billy Graham.
Ruth Bell Graham's legacy is closely associated with that of her husband, whose career placed her in the public eye throughout her life. But, while it's true that her identity was significantly shaped by her role in supporting Billy Graham's ministry, Ruth carried a strong sense of her own agency and was widely influential in her own right, especially in the image she projected of conservative evangelical womanhood-defined by a faith that was deep, private, and nonpolitical.
Beginning prior to Ruth and Billy's meeting at Wheaton College, Anne Blue Wills chronicles the many formative experiences of Ruth's life-especially the first decade of her childhood living in a community of American medical missionaries in China. Throughout the biography, Wills focuses not on Ruth's role in Billy's life, but on her own interests, ambitions, and fears-as a devoted mother of five, as the fastidious manager of a household, as a devout and well-read Christian, and as a beloved writer and poet.
Dealing honestly with a life of contradictory responsibilities that Ruth Bell Graham herself called “an odd kind of cross to bear,” Wills draws from nearly a decade of original research and presents a nuanced portrait of Graham apart from the reverential awe of her admirers and the oversimplified caricatures put forth by her detractors. In telling Graham's story, Wills indirectly tells the story of millions of women who emulated Graham as a role model-women who spurned second-wave feminism and willingly submitted to patriarchy while maintaining an undeniable sense of independence and strength of conviction.

The Lord is My Shepherd
by Stanley Barnes
Stanley Barnes has produced a beautiful little compendium of teaching on this preciuos Psalm. It contains devotional meditations, favourite outlines, moments of reflection, the titles of Jehovah in the Psalm, and stories associated with it.
This excellent little book is worth reading and passing on and will prove worthwhile for any reader.
Preface:
The chapters in this inspirational treasury of the 23rd Psalm were written to encourage Christians and to show the way of salvation to anyone who knows the Psalm but not the Shepherd. There is no claim to originality in regard to its content. Material has been gathered from many others who have written on the Shepherd's Psalm. Dr. Ian R.K. Paisley often said to his ministerial students, "Milk many cows but make your own butter," and this I have endeavoured to do.
The aim of this inspirational treasury may be summed up in the words of Richard of Chichester's famous prayer:
"That we may be enabled to know Jesus Christ more clearly, to love HIm more dearly, and to follow Him more nearly" as the Good, Great and Chief Shepherd.
