CALVARY PRESS:WHERE THE TRUTH LIVES!

Geisler's Chosen but Free sparked a firestorm of controversy when he labeled Calvinism "theologically inconsistent, philosophically insufficient, and morally repugnant." White steps into the breach with his cogent response. His systematic refutation of Geisler's argument will help you understand what the Reformed faith really teaches about divine election and how Reformed thought conforms to the gospel.

Abuse in the Church of Jesus Christ!

In many Christian circles this may be a taboo subject--spoken of in hushed tones or behind closed doors. But it is a very real problem that must be brought into the light of Scripture.

Abuse in the church takes different forms; but it is alive and active even in "nice" families in our churches. Typically, the abuser is male, usually a husband--and his character is that of a manipulating deceiver. Countless women and children--even many faithful pastors--have been abused by these deceivers.

Have you, or someone you know, been a victim? Has an abuser:

* Threatened physical violence if he does not get his way?

* Intimidated with abusive language?

* Denied affection?

* Denied you medical attention?

* Manipulated friends and acquaintances in order to gain allies?

Pastor Jeff Crippen uses his over thirty years of pastoral experience to rip the lid off this most insidious behavior that is often "hidden in plain sight." He not only maintains that Bible-believing churches have ignored or failed to face the problem, he insists that when they do counsel a victim of abuse, they get it all wrong. What happens is that the victim gets pulled into deeper--even life threatening--danger.

This book will come as a life saver in a raging sea for those under the thumb of an abusive spouse or "friend." The Lord Jesus Christ wants you to be free in Him: Spiritually, emotionally and, yes, physically (i.e.; away from your oppressor).

Pastors will benefit from reading this book, sometimes because they also have been victims, but more importantly, so that they can properly counsel those caught in a cycle of abuse.               See also the author's book Unholy Charade: Unmasking the Domestic Abuser in the Church, which presents similar material but updated with Jeff Crippen's three more years of understanding of domestic abuse, and packed full of first-person accounts from those who have had to live through it.

"With Christ in the Voting Booth is not a dated Voter's Guide that promotes certain candidates and after the election becomes as useful as day-old toast. Instead, Shedlock has written a book that addresses issues that crop up in every election. What if the candidate isn't fully pro-life? What if he or she wants to raise my taxes? What about third parties, or sitting it out altogether?"

Governor Mike Huckabee
 Knowing who to vote for doesn't always come easy for the Christian. No unambiguous voice from heaven whispers: "This is my candidate, vote for him." Even though almost every candidate in America makes a Christian profession, most of us know some Christians we wouldn't trust with a loaded BB gun, let alone access to the launch button of the world's largest cache of nuclear weapons.


Thankfully, God has given us His Word, "The Ultimate Voter's Guide." Using the Bible, With Christ in the Voting Booth provides us tools to resist Government Too Small and Government Too Big, while embracing Government Just Right, not based on false promises and "Christian" utopian fantasies, but rather the most important political success story of all: The Voter (and Governor) Who Pleases God. David Shedlock graduated from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri and received his Master's Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from Minnesota State University (Mankato). He is a leading contributor and assistant editor to the blog, Caffeinated Thoughts and its companion site Caffeinated Theology. He has been a member of Trinity Presbyterian Reformed Church in Johnston, Iowa, since 1996. He and his wife, Judy, have five children and 16 grandchildren. Shedlock may be contacted at djshedlock@gmail.com or through turretinpress.com.

In billards, the four-ball is passive; it's the one that gets knocked around by the other balls. Christian man, is that you? Are you knocked around by your environment, rather than taking you God-given assignment to lead? Mark Chanski's book is a clarion call to all Christian men to face life's challenges with Manly Dominion. It will challenge and encourage you to lead, wherever God places you, with Spirit-filled conviction. No Christian man (or woman!) living in today's world should be without it. Read carefully, and transform your life!

Should you commit yourself to membership in a local church? Isn't just being a Christian enough? Dr. Wayne Mack brings his years of experience as a Bible teacher, pastor, and counselor to this very controversial topic. His answers are straightforward and clear. Yes! You must become a church member if you're to be obedient to our Lord Jesus Christ and the clear teaching of the New Testament. No! Being a "lone wolf" Christian is not enough; you must join with a local body of believers in a church that teaches sound doctrine.

Christian woman - take dominion!

"Play your position!" is a call we may hear a coach yell at a soccer or football game. The meaning is: "Do what you have been assigned to do, and do it well!"

Many Christian women have been told over the years that they must quietly stay under their parasols while their men go out and conquer the world. But is this what the Bible really teaches?

Author and pastor Mark Chanski insists that the Bible tells us a different story. He insists that the Bible teaches a woman to take dominion of her God-assigned role as wife, mother and church helper. No, not in a feminist way, but in a God-glorifying way that speaks volumes of who she is and why God created her.

Women should not think of themselves as victims, says the author, but as victors who conquer the realm that their Lord and Master Jesus Christ has given them.

This book will forever change the way you look at Christian womanhood!

"This book is a very helpful one that, when I first looked at it, I thought a man couldn't write. But he did!" - Dr. Jay Adams

"Finally, a book that brings together nearly everything God's Word calls a woman to be, from within herself to her marriage and family, as well as the church and the public square. WOMANLY DOMINION is Biblical Womanhood 101, a biblical, succinct, practical course that shows women how to think God's thoughts after Him, to align themselves with their holy and awesome calling, and to free themselves from the pressures of worldly thinking about womanhood." - Dr. Joel Beeke

Is it possible to be truly free from a life-threatening addiction? According to God's Word, it is. From the author of Redeemed from the Pit comes a 31-day devotional promising Hope and Healing from Eating Disorders. This resource will help the reader recognize the lies she has believed; idols she has embraced; and self-destructive behaviors that have replaced worship of the One True God. Far from being a “self-help” guide, the guidance offered in this little booklet is intended to help the eating disordered Christian to rely on the Holy Spirit for help as she seeks to obey Him. Offering guidance from the Scriptures, author Marie O'Toole demonstrates how practically to “put off” unhealthy thought patterns that lead down the road of anorexia and bulimia, and to “put on” God-honoring thoughts in their place. Once the reader sees an eating disorder for what it is – a “worship” disorder – true heart change can begin and Christ heals her soul and leads her to walk in victory. This booklet offers tremendous practical, emotional, and spiritual guidance.

The purpose of this book is to help you communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly, accurately and more effectively with others. It is not intended as a Gospel tract, but as a tool for you to be more proficient as an ambassador for Christ and His Kingdom. While it is quite fine to use this book as an evangelistic study, it is more accurate to say that this book is a study guide for those who want to be evangelists. As such, it will help you to be more accurate in your approach to presenting Gospel truth to the unsaved and perhaps give more clarity to those who are saved, but have trouble articulating what it means to be saved. This book will be absolutely invaluable to pastor and layperson alike, both now and in the future, since these eternal verities never change. With Biblical ignorance being epidemic, both in the secular world and among those in the church, this is a timely book that will be essential for the work of true evangelism!

HAVE YOU FALLEN INTO THE PIT? Up to 3% of ALL adolescents in the United States have symptoms of bulimia. 5-15% of ALL adult women show the same signs. Are you one (or do you know someone) of the literally thousands who suffer from an eating disorder, most likely bulimia? Do you see yourself as fat and unattractive? Do you feel as though you don't "fit in" and suffer from periods of deep depression? Has binging on food and then purging become a daily part of your routine? HERE IS HOPE! Drawing from her own experiences with the disorder, author Marie Notcheva shows you how to overcome this life-destroying habit. No, not by some contrived "self help" system―but by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ! Notcheva believes that the person suffering from an eating disorder is not a victim of a "disease";it is not something that has befallen them or has been thrust upon them. Rather, the bulimic became so by a series of choices. They chose to feel a certain way about themselves. They chose to start on a path of behavior that leads to a destructive habit. Likewise, those suffering from bulimia can start making correct choices. They can make the choice to believe that their behavior is sin, not a disease. They can believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and that by trusting in the sacrifice of Christ for sinners, they can have new life―and that they can have victory, not only over bulimia, but over the greatest threat of all: eternal destruction. This book may indeed prove to be a "life saver" to many. It will certainly give tremendous hope to all who read it. FORWARD by Martha Peace

It's the 21st Century! Where in the world is the Church going? Are the problems in our churches today radically different from those of the Apostle Paul's day? The answer to that question is both yes and no. Using I Corinthians as a guide, author Joseph M. Bianchi shows how church problems of our day closely parallel those of the Corinthian church, at the same time demonstrating how the unique church problems of our time can be solved with a good dose of 1st-century biblical wisdom.

This book is the second installment to Dr. Waldron's ground-breaking work, The End Times Made Simple, in which he deftly dismantled the interpretive view that dispensationalists have of prophecy in general.

Tongues! Signs! Wonders! Are they operative in the church today? Samuel E. Waldron builds a systematic case for the complete cessation of the miraculous gifts as well as the offices of apostle and prophet. Building an insurmountable argument step by step, he shows that the Bible is quite clear on this issue. If you are struggling to come to grips with what the Bible says on this most important and oftentimes confusing topic, then this book is essential reading
