Books by John F MacArthur

Book SynopsisWhat would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars?The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate.From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every par

Book SynopsisSolomon is known as the wisest man who ever lived. His writings in the Old Testament range from practical, pithy proverbs to beautiful romantic poetry—and all are filled with his knowledge and insights. Yet behind those writings stood a flawed man who was conflicted between deep wisdom and tragic folly. Sadly, the king who warned against so many sins did not follow his own advice, and he wound up leading Israel into idolatry. Nevertheless, his life and writings provide valuable lessons for us today in the twenty-first century.In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with Solomon''s ascent to the throne and continuing through his tragic end. Studies include close-up examinations of the vital importance of wisdom—with portraits of the wise woman, the foolish sluggard, and others in the book of Proverbs—and careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as True Wisdo

Book SynopsisThroughout the ages, Psalms has retained its original and primary purpose: to engender the fitting praise and worship of God. The essential idea of Psalms is living real life in the real world. Without denying the pain of life, the people of God are to live joyfully and dependently on the person and promises of God.In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur to see the Psalms as a broad array of theology, practically couched in day-to-day reality. The sinfulness of man is documented concretely but also the sovereignty of God is everywhere recognizable. By working through this study, you, like the people of Israel, will learn that though life often seems to be out of control, all events and situations are to be understood in the light of divine providence as being right on course according to God’s timetable.—ABOUT THE SERIES—The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from

Book SynopsisThe events that occur in the book of Job present readers with a profound question: Why do the righteous suffer? Although a direct answer to this question seems important, the book of Job does not set forth such a response. Job never learned the reasons for his suffering. In fact, when God finally confronted Job, he could only put his hand over his mouth and say nothing. His silence underscores the importance of trusting God''s purposes in the midst of suffering, because suffering—like all other human experiences—is directed by perfect divine wisdom.In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at the defining themes and interpretative challenges in Job. Studies include close-up examinations of doctrinal themes such as God''s Justice and A Discourse on Human Frailty.—ABOUT THE SERIES—The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widel

Book SynopsisThe prophet Jeremiah ministered during the waning decades of Judah. The people had rebelled against the Lord through their constant idolatry and injustice of all kinds—and they were about to experience God''s wrath in the form of a conquering army. Yet even as Jeremiah described the short-term consequences of the people''s rebellion against the Lord, he also spoke of God''s long-term plan to provide salvation.In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur on an exploration of this weeping prophet—so called because of the grief he expressed for his people—and the prophecies he faithfully related to them for more than fifty years. By working through this study, you will learn that in your life—just like in the lives of the people of Judah—God may discipline you for a season, but He will always extend His grace to you.The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture.

Book SynopsisJesus was a master storyteller, and the parables He told were ingeniously simple word pictures. Some of them were no more than fleeting remarks about commonplace incidents, objects, or persons. In fact, the most compact of all Jesus'' short stories does not even fill a complete verse of Scripture. Yet the all were filled with profound spiritual lessons that He wanted His listeners to hear and understand. Jesus told these parables so they would clearly comprehend His message about the kingdom of God and the reason He had come to earth.In the Parables Workbook, master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur draws on his years spent studying and explaining the Word of God to guide readers through some of the most famous and influential short stories that Jesus told. Each session contains the following: Biblical focus: the primary passages on which the session draws Another look: questions to facilitate review of content in the book Biblical conn

Murder...And out of that, the Church was born.Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the story of the earliest Christian movement to show how—even in the midst of persecution and opposition—the early believers were able to rely on God''s spirit for direction and divine authority to preach the gospel to all nations.The book of Acts is a carefully-recorded history of the explosive spread of the gospel and the rapid growth of the church after Christ''s ascension.

Book Synopsis“Is the experience of God’s grace in your life a thrilling thing? Just thinking about the fact that God, by His own sovereign plan, decided to be gracious to me is overwhelming. There is nothing greater than receiving grace upon grace.” --John MacArthurSimple definitions can make grace feel like an obvious--even mundane--concept. Nothing could be further from the truth. Grace is the defining feature of the Christian faith. Once we understand how undeserving we are and how much favor we’ve been given, grace becomes shocking, thrilling, inspiring, and contagious.Best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur illuminates this profound concept with verse upon verse of Scripture. He also shows that misunderstandings about grace have led to some of the church’s greatest problems, perhaps because grace is her most precious gift.In The Truth About Grace, readers are taken through the Bible and encounte
