Publisher: P & R Publishing
Price: RM66.00
How can God demand justice and be merciful at the same time? What meeting ground exists between one who is infinitely holy and those who are utterly sinful?
The cross of Christ answers these questions -- and many more -- so why do we take such an important symbol so lightly? Why do we print it on bumper stickers and wear it as a fashion accessory but seldom reflect on its significance?

Whether you're a new believer, an experienced Christian, or a veteran of ministry, making the cross central to your life will give you fresh insights into God's purposes for you.
The spirit of the cross is revolutionary. It tells you everything you need to know about God, positively impacting your relationships with relatives, friends -- even enemies.
Journey inside and see why the cross is most valuable not when worn around the neck but when embraced by the heart.

Rarely does a book amass the accolades given this one: "excellent," "profound," "masterful," "first-rate," "down-to-earth," "Solid," "incisive," "illuminating," "both scholarly and devotional," "remarkable," "warm," "unprecedented," "fascinating,""crisp," "pastoral, lucid, and biblical," "well-written," "a vigorous book," "a landmark," That is how reviewers have described John M. Frame's treatment of the knowledge of God.
Frame explores our relationship with God as a knowing relationship. He writes, "We tend to forget how often in Scripture God performs His mighty acts so that men will 'know' that He is Lord." He thus examines our knowledge of God as it relates to our knowledge of ourselves and of the world in which we live. Reflecting his conviction that theology is the application of Scripture to life in all situations, Frame combines trenchant analysis of theological, apologetical, and epistemological issues with refreshingly practical insights for living in the knowledge of God.
In Part One, "the Objects of Knowledge," Frame focuses on what we know, particularly God, his law, the world, man as God's image, and the objects of knowledge in theology, philosophy, science, and apologetics.
Part Two, "the Justification of Knowledge," asks What right do we have to believe what we do? Frame addresses issues related to sensation and intuition, nature and Scripture, facts and criteria, and verification, presuppositions, circularity, certainty, and proof.
Part Three, "The Methods of Knowledge," examines how we obtain knowledge. There Frame discusses how we handle Scripture; how we may use the "tools" of language, logic, history, science, and philosophy to discover facts; and how a person's capacities, skills, and attitudes affect his knowing.

Previous volumes in John Frame's Theology of Lordship series have been greeted with acclaim. The Doctrine of God receiving the Gold Medallion Award in the category of theology and doctrine from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. This third volume in the series treats biblical ethics in its manifold relations to current issues and personal decisions.
In an age of ethical relativism and suspicion of authority, how can we know what is good, virtuous, or just? Frame surveys non-Christian ethical traditions before setting forth a solidly Christian ethical method. By clarifying biblical norms, life situations, and personal dimensions, he presents a model for decision making that honors God in all aspects of life.
Discussions range from natural law and conflict of duties to detailed explorations of the Ten Commandments in connection with questions surrounding worship, the Sabbath, church and state, respect for life and truth, sexuality, and the relation of Christ to culture.
Dennis Johnson writes, "This insightful exploration of the implications and applications of each of the Ten Commandments in the context of the whole Bible's direction for our motives, goal, and conduct will be a rich resource . . . even when readers reach different conclusions on some of the thorny dilemmas that Frame ventures to address."
David Powlison adds, "I took John Frame's class on Christian ethics 30 years ago. His wisdom then fundamentally shaped my understanding. It is such a pleasure now to revisit, in print, the fruits of his continued thinking about how we are to live."
The Doctrine of God (A Theology of Lordship)Author: John M. Frame
Publisher: P & R Publishing
Price: RM200.00
The Doctrine of God received the 2003 ECPA Gold Medallion Award in the Theology and Doctrine Category.
Since the first volume in this series, The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God, appeared in 1987, many have eagerly awaited the second. They may now take their seats at the table and enjoy a bountiful feast.
In The Doctrine of God John M. Frame resolves to remain faithful to sola Scriptura. "I seek here above all," he writes, "to present what Scripture says about God, applying that teaching . . . to the questions of our time." He includes copious references to biblical texts on particular subjects, indicating "the pervasiveness of these doctrines throughout the Bible."
This volume's central motif is that "god is Lord of the covenant." Frame demonstrates "how all of the acts, attributes, and personal distinctions that Scripture attributes to God are expressions of his lordship." This approach focuses "our attention on the main biblical message of salvation without ignoring or denying the large amount of biblical teaching on the nature and acts of God."
Wayne Grudem, author of Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine, writes: "John Frame is the professor who taught many of us who today teach in colleges and seminaries. With many others I rejoice to see that the material we so appreciated in his classes has become available to a wider reading audience. I expect to use The Doctrine of God often for many years to come."
"Our message to the world must emphasize that God is real, and that he will not be trifled with," writes Frame, "He is the almighty, majestic Lord of heaven and earth, and demands our most passionate love and obedience. The theology helps us to formulate that message, applying the biblical teaching about God to us and to our time."

Publisher: P & R Publishing
Price: RM90.00
Pratt, Kistemaker, Strimple, and others refute the teaching that all biblical prophecy (second coming, general resurrection, and final judgment) was fulfilled in the first century.“Eschatologies have consequences.

Galatians (Reformed Expository Commentary)
Author: Philip Graham Ryken
Publisher: P & R Publishing
Price: RM126.00
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 "challenges many of our preconceptions about what it means to have a right relationship with God."
This first commentary in the Reformed Expository Commentary series is for people who want to experience the gospel in all its power, especially teachers and preachers who are looking for a clear, thorough, relevant exposition of Paul's letter to the Galatians. Ryken exemplifies the objectives of the series by providing exposition that is biblical, doctrinally sound, redemptive-historical (centering on Christ), and practical.
"Some commentaries lose the forest for the trees, and others the trees for the forest," says Mark Dever. "This series promises to be both exegetically sensitive and theologically faithful."
Given For You: Reclaiming Calvin's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper
Atuhor: Keith A. Mathison
Publisher: P& R Publishing
Price: RM80.00
Is the Lord's Supper, a time of communion with our Lord and with his people, a high point in our lives? What thought do we give to biblical teaching on this sacrament? In this book Keith Mathison seeks to "encourage prayerful reflection and discussion about this now neglected sacrament." He introduces, explains, and defends "a particular understanding of the Lord's Supper--a Reformed understanding. The doctrine of the Lord's Supper presented and defended by John Calvin is the biblical doctrine, the basic doctrine of the sixteenth-century Reformed churches, and the doctrine that should be proclaimed in Reformed churches today." In a final chapter on practical issues, Mathison addresses the frequency of communion, the elements to be used, and the practice of paedo-communion.

Assured by God: Living in the Fullness of God's Grace Author: Burk Parsons
Publisher: P & R Publishing
Price: RM66.00
Nothing stimulates Christian service more than humble assurance of God's saving grace. Many of us are immobilized by lingering doubts about our salvation or, worse, by a false security.
Is assurance of salvation reserved for the super-spiritual? Is it a sure sign of presumption? What are the benefits of assurance, and the dangers of an unsure faith? Separating truth from error, and viewing assurance in relation to its larger family of biblical doctrines, the contributors to this volume demonstrate its significance for grateful, productive Christian living.
