The Sovereign Grace of God by James White

2010-11-11T09:00:00.000-08:00

A right understanding of who God is and who man is the foundation for the proper view of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without an accurate understanding, we can never fully comprehend or appreciate the awesome sovereign grace of God.

Does the Bible really teach the doctrines known as Calvinism? Are the concepts of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistable grace, and perserverance of the saints based merely on the speculations of theologians or are they actually found clearly revealed in Scripture?

In this essential book, the reader is led through a fundamental study of Scripture to scrutinize what God declares concerning these vital doctrines. Whether lay Christian or clergy, we each need to struggle through these difficult questions with the assurance that the Holy Spirit will not reveal something in the Scriptures that's not important for God's people to understand, embrace, and benefit from. Come along and learn about the incredible sovereign grace of God!

Themes and Issues of The Pilgrim's Progress by Barry Horner

2010-03-29T15:23:00.000-07:00

In Themes and Issues of The Pilgrim's Progress, author Barry Horner highlights the major themes running through the allegory and discusses important issues concerning its relevance and how best to make it known in the twenty-first century.

He ably shows how, rightly understood and suitably presented, The Pilgrim's Progress has a vital message for today's generation and is a most valuable tool both for evangelism and for encouraging the spiritual growth of believers.

Dr. Barry E. Horner, pastor, received his doctorate (from Westminster Theological Seminary) as a result of years of study into the life, ministry and literature of John Bunyan. As the host of a series of popular teaching seminars on The Pilgrim's Progress, and the author of The Accurate Revised Text Edition a judicious modern revision of the allegory, he has been instrumental in bringing Bunyan's classic alive for a new generation of readers across the English-speaking world.

After decades of study and seminar teaching around the world, Dr. Horner has encountered countless questions concerning The Pilgrim's Progress. Here is the fruit of his study, an in-depth consideration of the most provocative and sometimes puzzling elements woven throughout this unrivaled allegory. Dr. Horner's unashamed intent is always to explain and reinforce Bunyan's conservative Evangelical thrust.

Over twenty rich chapters include a wealth of information considering not only stylistic, historical, social and communicative issues, but above all the concern of the Bedford pastor to proclaim the gospel that focuses on the glorious grace of God freely offered through Christ.

There is no better commentary available today to unlock the depth and riches of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, nor is there arguably a more qualified scholar anywhere to guide us through this classic and monumental work of literature.

To maximize your understanding and enjoyment of this the greatest single Christian book next to the Bible itself we highly recommend two complimentary books. The first is an extensive study manual specifically designed as an adjunct to this book called The Outlined Study Manual. The second is the actual text to The Pilgrim's Progress best found in the aforementioned The Accurate Revised Text Edition.

The Pilgrim's Progress - Accurate Revised Text Edition

2010-03-29T14:45:00.000-07:00

Why would Great Christian Books publish yet another edition of the most frequently published book after the Bible itself?

The answer is simple-- we agreed with Dr. Barry E. Horner the Bunyan Expert who brought to us this The Accurate Revised Text Edition, that too many versions of this classic allegory have been overly modernized, abridged or stripped of the precious gospel truths that John Bunyan labored to communicate throughout this masterful allegory of the Christian Pilgrim's life.

Working from what scholars agree to be the most complete, faithful and final version of Bunyan's manuscript, Dr. Horner has judiciously crafted a modernized version which retains all the glorious and compelling doctrine that The Tinker of Bedford, (as Bunyan was called), so eloquently conveys to all who join Pilgrim in his journey to The Celestial City.

To maximize your understanding and enjoyment of this the greatest single Christian book next to the Bible itself we highly recommend two complimentary books. The first is an extensive study manual specifically designed as an adjunct to the complete text of this book called The Outlined Study Manual. The second is an exhaustive commentary to the gospel truths woven throughout The Pilgrim's Progess this essential book is called Themes and Issues of The Pilgrims Progress. Both of these titles are also by renowned Bunyan expert Barry E. Horner and bring his decades of study into your library.

2010-03-29T13:26:00.000-07:00

It is also the best foundation for a teaching curriculum/seminar at your church or homeschool class. It's laid out in a manner which facilitates easy reading, comprehension and note-taking since it was designed for use in the author's own seminars.

This beautiful edition includes nearly 200 engravings carefully culled from countless 18th and 19th century editions of The Pilgrim's Progress no longer available anywhere. These gorgeous illustrations bring the story to life.

Readers will benefit enormously from the decades of Dr. Horner's study and seminar teaching experience embodied in this study guide. Appreciating the depth of Bunyan's literary craft and deep evangelical understanding of the Bible has never been easier. This sometimes cryptic book will be forever unlocked to today's reader.

For a further exploration into the gospel truths woven throughout The Pilgrim's Progress we heartily recommend another wonderful title called Themes and Issues of The Pilgrims Progress, this exhaustive commentary and evangelical apologetic is also by renowned Bunyan expert Barry E. Horner and brings his decades of study into your library.

Drawn By The Father by James White

2009-05-08T20:17:00.000-07:00

"All that the Father gives me will come to Me, and the one coming to Me I will never cast out."

"No man is able to come to Me, unless the Father, who sent Me, draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day."

These statements by the Lord Jesus found recorded in the sixth chapter of John's gospel are among the most striking and challenging of all of Christ's teachings about the salvation plan of God.
Dr. James White leads us through a wonderful study of these verses and others related so that we may ponder anew the marvelous grace and sovereignty of God in salvation.
In this simply laid out consideration of the Father's eternal plan to elect, call, and irresistably draw men and women and children to Himself throughout the ages you will learn what the infallible Scriptures reveal about the Father's will, the Son's own work, and our role in the gracious redeeming plan of God. It will certainly clear up many of the confusing, unbiblical notions about God and the Gospel that are so prevalent today. You can come to a settled and informed conviction about what the truth is and enjoy the thankful realization that the marvelous love of God is extended to you.

This is a perfect choice of book to use for a guide in studying what the Bible teaches about the doctrines commonly referred to as The Doctrines of God's Grace.

The “Emerging Church”—The New Face of Heresy

2009-05-08T17:33:00.000-07:00

By Wayne Jackson

Recently, Charles Colson, a leading evangelical writer, pointed out:

Last June a Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life survey found rampant doctrinal ignorance among American Christians. Fifty-seven percent of evangelicals believed people who follow religions other than their own can enjoy eternal life. The results were so unexpected that Pew repeated the survey, asking more specific questions. The answers were virtually unchanged. Astonishingly, about half believed that everyone, atheists included, was going to end up in heaven. Heaven for the godless? That’s the old heresy of universalism (2009).

The thinking of many who profess an identification with some form of “Christianity” has become mushy indeed. Here is a typical comment... (read the rest here)

Our Mission Statement

2008-05-01T21:54:00.000-07:00

Great Christian Books was established as the Christian book publishing division of Rotolo Media to glorify The Lord Jesus Christ and to be used by Him to expand and edify the kingdom of God and defend the Faith while we await Christ’s glorious return.

We seek to accomplish this mission by publishing Gospel literature which is biblically faithful, relevant, and practically applicable to many of the serious spiritual needs of mankind in the post-modern and post-Christian world in which we are now living. To do so we will always determine to boldly incorporate the truths of Scripture, especially those which were largely articulated as a body of theology during the Protestant Reformation of the Sixteenth Century and ensuing years.

We gladly join our voice in the proclamations of— Scripture Alone, Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, and God’s Glory Alone! Our ministry seeks the blessing of our God as we seek His face to both confirm and support our labors for Him. Our prayers for this work can be summarized by two verses from the Book of Psalms:

“And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.” —Ps 90:17

“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but to your name give glory.”
..........................................................................................—Ps 115:1

Great Christian Books appreciates the financial support of anyone who shares our burden and vision for publishing literature which combines sound Bible doctrine and practical exhortation in an age when too few so-called “Christian” publications do the same.

We thank you in advance for any assistance you can give us in our labors to fulfill this important mission.

May God bless you.

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

2008-03-08T23:26:00.000-08:00

Thank you for your interest in Great Christian Books.

In this day when so many so-called "Christian" books are nothing but lightweight "fluff" designed to be quickly and easily consumed, we strive to publish substantial and thoroughly biblical books. Our titles speak to specific needs for edification or clarification on important issues that all Christians should be acquainted with.

As much as our post-modern society prides itself on knowledge we actually are living at a time when the vast majority of people are either wholly ignorant or confused about the message of Christ and the need for and proper way to salvation. Sadly this is true of an alarming percentage of even those professing to be evangelical protestant Christians. Add to this the resurfacing ancient heresies parading in new clothes and you can see why the Christian church has never needed sound teaching more than right now.

I know you'll find the titles published by Great Christian Books to be a refreshing change from the drivel that passes as Christian literature today. Our authors are gifted communicators that write with the goal of meeting today's average reader where they are while leaving them forever enriched and equipped in the knowledge of the truth.

May God Bless You on your journey to knowing Him more fully.

In His Service,

Michael Rotolo
