Christian Focus Publications Ltd Ecclesiastes: A Mentor Commentary
Book SynopsisThe book of Ecclesiastes, part of the wisdom literature of the Bible, can be a perplexing maze to interpret and teach. Full of apparent contradictions and much–debated Hebrew, the theme focuses on the gritty realities of life ‘under the sun’. Richard Belcher approaches this book with the depth and care it needs, presenting solid guidance on the intricacies of interpretation – alongside continual comments on the practicalities of preaching.Trade ReviewRichard P. Belcher has given us a commentary that is thoroughly researched, balanced, and sensitive to the needs of preaching pastors. Whether it is read by students seeking to grasp what are the issues in Ecclesiastes (and what contemporary scholars are saying about those issues), or read by ministers and teachers preparing to preach and teach the book, it will prove to be immensely beneficial. -- Duane A. Garrett (John R. Sampey Professor of Old Testament Interpretation at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Anthems for a Dying Lamb: How Six Psalms
Book SynopsisAnthems for a Dying Lamb offers an in-depth exposition of Psalms 113-118. Often called the Hallel, these psalms were part of the Passover seder, which directed proceedings during the Passover meal. That's one reason the Hallel became known as the 'hymn' that Jesus sang with his disciples at the Last Supper, and why it is often part of communion services when the church celebrates the Lord's Supper. Philip Ross explains Psalms 113-118 in their Old Testament context and shows how the 'trouble and sorrow' of Psalm 116, or the 'cornerstone' of Psalm 118, give us insight into Jesus' ministry and mindset in the hours before his crucifixion.Trade ReviewDon't rush through this book; it should be savored bit by bit. You can bask in its fresh insights, squirm under its searching exposure - and all the while Dr Ross keeps you firmly tethered to Jesus. Here is a mind-filling, soul-nourishing, Christ-focused feast! -- Dale Ralph Davis (Respected Author and Old Testament Scholar)Philip Ross combines literary skill, historical breadth, academic depth, and timely wit in encouraging the psalms for the church today. He gives due consideration to their original setting for the Old Testament church, to their meaning for Jesus in the Upper Room, and for the Christian church. -- Terry L. Johnson (Senior Pastor, Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia)The passion of Christ, even the very words Christ prayed during his agony, are drawn from the psalms, specifically Psalms 113-118. With pastoral care and sobering conviction, Philip Ross reveals why these psalms became our Savior's dying anthem. -- Matthew Barrett (Associate Professor of Christian Theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri )Jewish scholars long ago realised that Psalms 113-118 form a significant grouping within the Psalter. Read and ponder the implications of the Dying Lamb facing Calvary in the light of these songs that extol God's power to save. -- Allan Harman (Research Professor of Old Testament, Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne, Australia)Whether Philip Ross is tackling the relation of the 'Egyptian Hallel' to early Jewish Passover liturgies or the task of exposition of the Psalms we meet with the same painstaking care, mastery of facts, and, above all, devout recognition of Holy Scripture as the Word of God. -- Alec Motyer ((1924–2016) Well known Bible expositor and commentary writer)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The Believer’s Joy
Book SynopsisRobert Murray McCheyne’s fervent love of the gospel shone clearly through everything he wrote and said, often leading him to tears while he preached. This short book brings together seven such sermons, in which McCheyne expounds the glories of life in Christ. Shorter and more easily digestible than some of his written works, but lacking none of the biblical depth, these sermons make for powerful devotional material.Trade ReviewMcCheyne drives home the glory, the blessedness, the sheer joy of truly knowing God in Christ, of delighting in His ways, His Word, His holiness. -- D. A. Carson (Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)McCheyne weeds out all the false paths to joy, even many Christian ones, and invites you to the Well Himself, Jesus Christ. This book is a must read as we easily become distracted from Jesus and the gospel. -- Nathan Kline (Senior Pastor, Friendly Hills Church, Jamestown, North Carolina) In the absence of a recording device from the 1830s when McCheyne was minister, these pages provide the next best thing – the text of several sermons McCheyne prepared for the people he loved so dearly. They bear all the hallmarks of all his preaching – simplicity, clarity, directness, earnestness, Christ–centredness, and in addition a certain pathos and poetic beauty. No matter what age or stage of the Christian life you may have reached, you will find yourself spiritually nourished and drawn to Christ by what you read here. -- Sinclair B. Ferguson (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)Robert Murray M'Cheyne is one of my heroes. He only lived until 29 and was only in the ministry for a little over seven years. But in that short time he taught many (and continues to teach through his books) that our life in Christ is far more important than anything this world has to offer. In this short but powerful book, he reminds us that our joy can only be found in Christ. Much like his other works and those of his contemporaries in 19th century Scotland, this book will pierce your heart and convict your soul that nothing short of pursuing the King of kings in all things will fill you with gladness. -- Dave Furman (Senior Pastor, Redeemer Church of Dubai, Dubai and Author of 'Being There' and 'Kiss the Wave')As you would expect from Robert Murray McCheyne, this book is thoroughly theological and profoundly pastoral. He mines deep and then displays sparkling gospel gems on every page. This is a book that should be kept close and read often. -- Susan Hunt (Pastor’s wife, former Director of Women’s Ministry for the PCA)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Read Mark Learn: Luke Vol. 2: A Small Group Bible
Book SynopsisRead / Mark / Learn is a small group Bible study series that is designed to equip people to study God’s Word for themselves. This second volume of studies in Luke continues on from the first volume, starting at chapter 9 verse 51, and follows as Jesus turns His attention towards Jerusalem and the cross. These 26 studies are split into 5 sections: Proclaiming the Saviour’s Kingdom, The Growth of the Saviour’s Kingdom, The Number of the Saviour’s People, The Coming of the Saviour’s Kingdom, and Salvation Accomplished. Each study establishes the context, aim, structure and lessons of the passage and shows links with the Old Testament and practical applications and suggestions. There are conversational discussion starters and suggested questions for leading a Bible study. Trade ReviewBy God’s grace, William Taylor is one of our finest bible expositors today. In this volume, he studies the travel narrative of Luke’s Gospel. With meticulous attention to the context, he doesn’t lose the forest for the trees, and carefully reveals the intent of Luke as our author and theologian in his ‘orderly account’. Here is a great gift to help us mediate and delight in God’s most holy Word. -- Richard Chin (National Director, Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students)This pithy and well–informed exposition is a delight to dig through. It concisely and creatively opens up Luke’s Gospel section by section. The footnotes show that the author has read widely and done his homework. Illustrations are numerous, some humorous, some harrowing (like contemporary accounts of tortured Christians). Most significantly, the character and brilliance of Jesus shine forth. Readers at all levels will deepen in their knowledge and devotion to him through the wisdom that abounds in these pages. -- Robert W. Yarbrough (Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri)Brimming with insightful exegesis, theological depth, vivid illustration and pastoral application, these two volumes are vintage Dale Ralph Davis. Whether you use them in personal devotion, or a small group, or as a preacher seeking to teach your congregation, this engaging journey through Luke’s gospel will be a very useful and edifying guide. -- Reuben Hunter (Pastor, Trinity West Church, London)Read Mark Learn (RML) is surely the benchmark for group Bible study and William Taylor’s second Luke volume reminds us just how high the RML standard is. It provides a complete tool box for those aiming at serious engagement with the text. Context, main themes, structure, aim and focused application support the suggested study questions. I can’t imagine there is anything else in the publishing world that could match this. -- Richard Cunningham (Director of Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF), United Kingdom)What a great resource! Whether for personal study, group discussion, or for preaching, this is a wonderful guide which unpacks Luke’s message in a clear and comprehensive way, sets the story in its wider Biblical frame, highlights its themes and provides key questions for reflection and discussion. But what makes this more than a study guide (though it is first rate in that regard) are the many nuggets of wisdom, the penetrating insights, and the pertinent application for today’s disciples. -- Jonathan Lamb (Minister–at–large for Keswick Ministries, IFES Vice President, and former Director, Langham Preaching)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Pressing On, Finishing Well: Learning from Seven
Book SynopsisOur lives are finite. There is a date and time when they will come to an end. But with people living longer, many of us will have a number of years where our professional work is done, our children are grown, and our schedules are more flexible.

Or will our hearts be distracted by the pleasures of this world like Solomon and Lot? Read on, and discover how those who lived long ago encourage us to finish well today.Trade ReviewI felt that I could follow the Lord to the end when I had completed this book. Grace can keep me going … and you too. -- Geoff Thomas (Conference Speaker and author, Aberystwyth, Wales)Black is not suggesting that a genuine Christian can lose salvation at the end, but he is highlighting the danger of slipping away from the zeal that marked a good beginning. This book challenges the reader; it will convict; it will comfort and encourage. It will also warn about becoming complacent. -- Calum MacInnes (Retired Minister, Kingsview Christian Centre, Inverness)Through humor, personal candor and biblical illustrations, Michael Black takes readers on a journey to understand that the end of their lives is determined by every minute leading up to that pivotal moment. I highly recommend it for taking stock of your current fruitfulness and purpose in your life, to re–orient yourself to entering the joy of your Master. -- Carolyn McCulley (Conference Speaker and Author of Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World)… challenges us to ensure that our love is rooted in Jesus, and to make our love for him our greatest treasure. It leaves us with a glorious vision of heaven that will motive us to press on and win the prize. -- John Stevens (National Director, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, Market Harborough, Leicestershire)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd I AM: A Biblical and Devotional Study of the
Book SynopsisTo have a clearer vision of God should be the Christian’s supreme calling, because when we know Him we reflect Him. To love and serve the Creator in righteousness, men and women need something more than an awareness of His existence through general revelation. We also need to know who and what He is, where He can be found, and how He may be approached; He reveals this in His Word. Brian A. Russell here guides us through what the Bible says about the attributes of God.Trade ReviewThere is no subject more worthy of our attention or more stretching to our finite minds than the infinite, eternal and unchangeable being and character of God. For anyone who wants to know God better, this is a book that will deepen their understanding and move their hearts to love and worship. -- Warren Peel (Minister of Trinity Reformed Presbyterian Church & Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, Reformed Theological College, Belfast)Ah! The vision of God: the height of human endeavour! Seeing Him more clearly, loving Him more dearly, and following Him more nearly. Such are the goals of a God–centred life, and are the major theme of Brian Russell’s theological and devotional focus. Allow your mind to be stretched and your heart warmed! -- Simon Vibert (Vicar, Christ Church, Virginia Water, Surrey)Brian A. Russell has given us a perceptive and thoroughly biblical exploration of the attributes of God. As they make their way through this profound yet understandable study, the reader will surely grow in their knowledge of God’s infinite greatness and increase their love for Him. -- Rebecca Stark (Blogger at ‘Rebecca Writes’, ‘Revive Our Hearts’, and ‘Out of the Ordinary’)… a wonderful resource for believers today not only to understand God’s revelation of Himself but to recognize the significance and relevance of God’s attributes to believers in their everyday walk of life. -- T. J. Betts (Associate Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Conspiracy Theory: When God is Seemingly Against
Book SynopsisIf you have ever struggled with deep disappointments, unanswered prayers, or found your life crumbling around you, Conspiracy Theory was written just for you! The world of social media shows us with real clarity the desire that people have to be connected to each other, but with the safety of an off switch. Real world intimacy can be very different – much better, but without the off switch. The greatest intimacy however is with God, whether we realise it or not. It can be difficult to take in the fact that God knows us better than we know ourselves, and that his love is bigger than anything we have ever experienced, yet not out of reach. Just as at the airport when we see through our luggage on the x–ray, nothing is hidden from Him nor do we have to hide anything. Not only that, but He reveals himself as so much bigger than us and also everything we need, which can free us from the bondage of being obsessed with ourselves – true liberation! The roadmap for this book travels through one of the most loved and popular portions in the Bible – Psalm 139. It takes you on a journey from the heights of intimacy to the inevitable lows that life brings us, especially the ones that leave us saying ‘WOW – I never saw that coming.’ But that is when the need for intimacy with God can hit us like a brick. What if God is behind the WOW? What if we need to forgive and just cannot, or just do not understand what is going on, or feel that change is overwhelming? Whether these situations are personal, physical, relational, or even bigger, when they arrive, it seems we realise then that we alone are not enough. Real intimacy with God is incredible but will require honesty, wrestling with difficult issues and asking challenging questions. Come along on this possibly life–transforming journey – it’s well worth the trip. Incudes Personal Questions. Suitable for Study Groups. Looks at Issues Such as War & Abortion. Interesting Facts & Figures Other Bible Stories Interwoven Engaging and Funny Everyday Stories.Trade ReviewThis book winsomely reveals that God is not against us but for us and ever working to shape us into his beloved children. I sincerely wish I had had this book to give to the countless number of people who came needing to hear its message of God’s loving presence and constant care. -- Mark R. Patterson (Director, Flourish Institute: School of Ministry)… warm devotion and faithful doctrine take us deeper and deeper into each verse of this transformational Psalm, growing our confidence that God is good even when life is hard. -- Tim McConnell (Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Colorado Springs, Colrado and author of ‘Happy Church: Pursuing Radical Joy as the People of God’)… winsome … full of wise exposition and application of Psalm 139. Richard not only takes us through the text a few verses at a time but also draws on the whole of Scripture, like all good Christian writers and teachers ought to. -- Alistair Purss (Lead Pastor, Dumfries Baptist Church, Scotland)This is a warm, practical, encouraging Bible–soaked book for any believer about what used to be regarded as elements of a ‘normal’ Christian life – in other words, one with perplexity, challenge, heartache and darkness, but nonetheless a trust that God is somehow at work even when we don’t understand what is happening to us. -- David Baker (Editor, Evangelicals Now)With warm and wise reflections on one of the greatest songs ever written, coupled with engaging examples from across scripture, Dr Gibbons applies key truths about God’s character and purposes in ways which are profound yet personal, and challenging yet life–changing, showing us how much God knows, cares, acts and loves. -- Jonathan Lamb (Minister–at–large for Keswick Ministries, IFES Vice President, and former Director, Langham Preaching)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Adam and the Covenant of Works
Book SynopsisJ. V. Fesko seeks to recover and defend the doctrine of the covenant of works in this second book in his three–part series. He argues that it is biblical and a necessary element for a right understanding of God, the world, Christ and our redemption. Understanding the nature of the triune God’s interaction with Adam ultimately sets the stage for the work of the last Adam, Jesus. The book is split into three sections: history, exegesis and doctrine. The chapter headings are: History Terms Do This and Live Adam’s Faith Covenant or Contract? Grace in the Covenant of Works The Covenant of Works and Sinai Exegesis Written on the Heart (Rom. 2:14–15) In the Day that you Eat (Gen. 2:16–17) Do This and Live (Lev. 18:5) They Broke the Everlasting Covenant (Isa. 24:5) Like Adam They Broke the Covenant (Hos. 6:7) These Are Two Covenants (Gal. 4:24) Adam, Israel, and Christ (Rom. 5:12–21) Captive to the Law (Rom. 7:16) Doctrine Statement of the Doctrine The Covenant of Works and Sinai Justification and the Covenant of Works Grace and Merit in the Covenant of Works Excursus on Genesis 1:26 Trade ReviewA reader studying this important topic will be aided by what is in effect three books in one. Even though a reader may take a view other the author’s, he will find himself benefited by the learned detail that Professor Fesko has amassed. -- Paul Helm (Emeritus Professor of the History and Philosophy of Religion, King’s College, London)This is a valuable resource for students and preachers, and an important contribution to the recovery of confidence in a vital doctrine. -- David Strain (Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi)
