Christian Focus Publications Ltd The Child is Father of the Man: C. H. Spurgeon
Book SynopsisTom Nettles examines the life of one of the world’s most famous preachers. He isolates key convictions that appear in Spurgeon’s life either before or immediately after his conversion, and traces them through his life as he develops into the charming, interesting, confident, humble, spiritual–minded man and pastor whose work and witness dominated evangelicalism in the last half of the nineteenth century.Trade Review… perhaps the most, well–rounded treatment of Charles Spurgeon that has been achieved in Spurgeonic literature. A must read not only for pastors but for all Christians in learning how to love and serve Christ with unflinching fidelity. -- Kurt M. Smith (Pastor, Providence Reformed Baptist Church, Remlap, Alabama, USA, and author of Thundering the Word: The Awakening Ministry of George Whitefield)… offers fascinating insights, and a treasure trove of quotes from the ‘prince of preachers’. … an absolute treat, and a robust foundation for your soul. -- Jeremy McQuoid (Teaching Pastor, Deeside Christian Fellowship, Aberdeen, Scotland and Chair of Council, Keswick Ministries)… brilliantly focusses on ten key moments, convictions really, that shaped the larger–than–life Charles Haddon Spurgeon. These convictions steeled Spurgeon to weather controversy, depression, and setbacks. Through it all, Spurgeon’s exuberant love for God, the gospel, and for the church shines through. -- Stephen J. Nichols (President, Reformation Bible College, CAO Ligonier Ministries, Sanford, Florida)… shows how the remarkable fruitfulness of Spurgeon’s ministry developed from tiny seeds sown in his childhood and youth. Readers will enjoy the remarkable insights from a writer who is not only a Spurgeon scholar, but a man who has served the church as a professor of historical theology for more than forty years. -- Donald S Whitney (Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)There is depth in the study, and there is breadth, and—perhaps most preciously—there is a happy recognition of the grace of God, the beauty of Christ, and the power of the Spirit, upon which Spurgeon’s ministry depended and in which he himself delighted. -- Jeremy Walker (Pastor, Maidenbower Baptist Church, UK)

Messenger Publications Pedro Arrupe SJ: Mystic with Open Eyes
Book SynopsisWith an Introduction by Peter McVerry SJ Why might this man be declared a saint? Pedro Arrupe, twenty-eighth Superior General of the Society of Jesus, re-founded the Jesuits and re-cast Ignatian spirituality for our times. He was a prisoner of Imperial Japan, a first responder when the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima, a pioneer of Catholic social justice and a founder of the Jesuit Refugee Service. His mind and heart were shaped by the Second Vatican Council. Few people—outside religious life—know his story. But now that the process for his beatification is underway, he will become known across the Catholic world and beyond. Best-selling author Brian Grogan SJ, whose life has been deeply influenced by Arrupe, has written Pedro Arrupe SJ: Mystic With Open Eyes. With a foreword by Peter McVerry SJ, this booklet is a guide to the extraordinary life of a great-souled human being. Arrupe belongs to the world because he had a profound love for everyone, especially the neediest. This succinct account of his life, 1907–1991, highlights his dynamic influence on the Church of today as it labours to build a civilisation of justice and love.Trade ReviewHis humanity and holiness shine through these pages…the pathos and suffering of Arrupe’s silence is powerfully captured…The reflections at the end of each chapter enrich the experience of encountering this remarkable man. * The Furrow *… a very readable introduction to a modest man who brought about remarkable change, reforming the Jesuit charism and recasting Ignatian spirituality for our times. * Jesuits in Britain *Those seeking to understand…the life of a great man will gain from this booklet…this book provides readers with an essential groundwork for further reading * The Irish Catholic *

Messenger Publications Counsels of the Holy Spirit: A Reading of St
Book SynopsisMany books have already been written on spiritual counselling, especially in the Ignatian tradition. But very few consider how Ignatius gave spiritual advice in his letters, directed to various and specific situations. If God really leads us in our spiritual journey, as Ignatius believed, what is the role of the spiritual adviser? What part is played by the numerous rules given in the Spiritual Exercises? The letters show that Ignatius really wanted to give scope to his correspondents and to their awareness of the work of the Holy Spirit within them. Ignatius deployed a “Pedagogy of Consolation” in which his correspondents were trained to exercise their own spiritual agency by discovering God’s abundant gifts. It was clear to Ignatius that a counselling relationship was first grounded in God’s freedom but also in the freedom of the person who asks for assistance. In six chapters, Patrick C. Goujon focuses on eight letters. He offers a careful reading which emphasizes what makes giving spiritual help possible in a conversation. We are shown how Ignatius deals with decision-making and with obstacles in the spiritual life. He is also revealed giving encouragement and correction and advising about how to offer these to others. His aim is to help people grow in freedom which, in turn, permits them to live according to God’s will. Through his letters, we are allowed to enter not only Ignatius’s study, the famous camerata in Rome, but also into his heart. “This volume is an excellent introduction to the letters of Ignatius of Loyola (…) making it an important scholarly contribution not only for those interested in Ignatian spirituality, but also for those interested in the history of spirituality more broadly”, Mark Rotsaert, ARSITrade Review‘Anyone interested in Ignatian spirituality will read this book – it is challenging and transforming. Your life will be changed in reading this book.’ -- Eileen Quinn Knight * Catholic Profiles *‘This is a delightful and welcome addition to Ignatian literature. It will enrich the reader with a greater knowledge and love of Ignatius.’ -- Denis Blackledge SJ * Catholic South West newspaper *'ANYONE with an interest in understanding more about Ignatian spirituality may find this scholarly exploration of St Ignatius's letters helpful.' -- William Scholes * The Irish News *‘an excellent introduction to the teachings and spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits’ -- Ruadhán Jones * The Irish Catholic *'an excellent theoretical background to read the letters of Ignatius... Goujon provides interpretative keys that can be effectively employed in various situations that need counsel ...' * Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu *'...clear, well-structured and practical...to be recommended, especially for spiritual directors and those training in this important ministry.' * The Furrow *

Messenger Publications Discover God Daily: Seven Life-Changing Moments
Book SynopsisOne of the traps in the spiritual life is assuming that things will happen miraculously in one dramatic, unrepeatable moment. The authors illustrate the “slow work of God” (Teilhard de Chardin), an unfolding of God’s plan for our lives over time, as a much more helpful and humanising way to look at faith. Using details from the life of St Ignatius Loyola. The 7 stages of Ignatius’ life that reflect this slow process of growth in the Spirit are: Lack of awareness and superficial religion (being ‘asleep’: his life as a courtier & soldier); Waking up (his dreams shattered at Pamplona, the painful convalescing at Loyola); Extremes (initial over-enthusiasm of being a pilgrim on the road to Manresa); Eyes Opened (deepening in faith at Montserrat, Manresa & the Cave); Gaining wisdom (beginning again, studying in Barcelona); Gathering a group (spiritual conversations about what to do, deliberations in Venice & Rome) and Embracing leadership (going against his pilgrim instincts to head up the Society in Rome) The Ignatian spirituality points from each are drawn out and explained in imagined conversations with God, reflections, scripture pieces and real-life applications. The authors have established a very popular style of conveying the essentials of Ignatian spirituality and readers will find the book both accessible and enjoyable.Trade Review‘accessible and enjoyable... the authors have established a very popular style of conveying the essentials of Ignatian spirituality.’ * Independent Catholic News *‘...the two authors have come up with another winner, which will help and encourage others on their pilgrimage through life.’ * Catholic South West *‘ It is a joy to read this beautifully-written book. This little gem presents us with a vision of a compassionate God, powerfully guiding us through those messy bits and pieces of life’. * Intercom *

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Unity and Diversity: The Founders of the Free
Book SynopsisIt has been many years since there has been a popular level book, which has looked at the life and ministry of some of the ‘fathers’ of the Free Church of Scotland. This book looks at the life and ministry of a number of the key figures in the Disruption era and late 19th Century Free Church. Beginning with Thomas Chalmers, each chapter has a biographical sketch of a key figure with an emphasis on why these men mattered in their time and what they still have to say to us in the 21st century. All of the men portrayed were committed to the advancement of the Gospel in Scotland and further afield. While they shared a commitment to the Confession of Faith and reformed theology, this was expressed in unique ways by each of these men. Hence both unity and diversity is on view in these fascinating pages.Trade Review"The variety between these men, in gifts, interests, influence, attitudes, and even theological emphases, is laid out very clearly through the book. But equally clear, against that very background, is the unity they upheld in the church, at the heart of which was their common insistence on the final authority of the Bible as God's Word. As such, there is something here for readers in every church, whether or not they are 'in ministry' or not - it is very readable, hardly seeming to run to around 300 pages." -- Evangelicals NowAt this moment in church history the people of God sorely need to be reminded that following Christ means being willing to part with cherished denominational identities and connections, church buildings, and even houses and secure salaries. This welcome book includes a picture of each of these founding fathers of the Free Church of Scotland and - to a man - they all look as sober as hot, black coffee in a styrofoam cup. As we are in no danger of overdoing their earnestness, spending a few hours with such steely-eyed men can safely serve to remind us of what it means to stake one's life and livelihood on the lordship of Jesus Christ. Sandy Finlayson has written a clear, lively book that concedes when these churchmen were wrong without thereby obscuring their passionate stand for the Gospel. -- Timothy Larsen (McManis Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois)"Sandy Finlayson's study of the nineteenth century leaders of the Free Church of Scotland is neither hagiography nor iconoclasm; rather, it is the thoughtful reflection of a committed presbyterian on the men who helped shape the Scottish church through their commitment to orthodoxy, evangelism, and social action. The attractive churchmanship which these church leaders represented is all too rare today; and I hope this work will do something to restore it to its rightful place in the wider Christian landscape." -- Carl R. Trueman (Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College, Pennsylvania)"Reading the lives and works of these men will make us all wiser, healthier, more daring and, in the best sense of the word, broader Christians; and in the poor, fragmented church in Britain today, this is what is most urgently needed." -- The Evangelical Magazine (Published by Evangelical Movement of Wales)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Alien Nation: The Growing Isolation of the Church
Book SynopsisThis book will challenge you about the growing isolation of the church from today's culture. "This book gives us courage to stand for what is right, good true and without flinching, and to win the hearts as well as the minds by showing selfish love in a selfish society." From the foreword by Sir Fred Catherwood.Trade Review‘This very readable book is a bridge, over which God's unchanging Truth, revealed in the Bible, travels into everyday life in the 21st century, with all its challenges and problems. ...absolutely on target.' -- David Jackman, Director, Proclamation Trust (Past President, The Proclamation Trust, London)... rooted in Scripture. A challenging read. As Fred Catherwood says in the foreward, it 'gives us courage to stand for what is right, good and tru without flinching, and to win hearts as well as minds by showing selfless love in a selfish society.' -- Banner of Truth Magazine'Bold and perceptive in its exposure of secular society; searching, encouraging and compassionate in its challenge to the church. This is an outstanding and highly readable book which will serve to equip Christians for effective living in today's world.' -- William Taylor, St Helen's, London (Minister, St. Helen's Bishopsgate, London)"Happy optimists who are convinced all is well with the church in general and evangelicalism in particular should not read this book. They will find it too disturbing. But those who find themselves in anguish over the rising moral vacuity of the culture and in frustration over the tendency of some parts of evangelicalism to reduce Christianity to religious niceness and a self-defined experience of God, will find their minds renewed, their hearts stirred, and their wills strengthened." -- Don Carson, Trinity International University, Illinois (Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)
