Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave

Finding Hope in the Power of the Gospel
 By: Ed Welch


Addiction, according to Welch, is a disorder—a worship disorder that takes root when we worship ourselves and our desires instead of the true God. This practical theology on addictions destroys the myth that sin is a sickness. It replaces the hopeless cycle of “sickness, recovery, and relapse” with the biblical view of sin, salvation, and sanctification.

The Cup and the Glory
Lessons on Suffering and the Glory of God
 By: Greg Harris


“Dr. Greg Harris, a modern-day Job belonging to the society of mourners and sufferers, authentically expresses the bright hope of God’s eternal glory that places even the darkest cup of earthly pain in perspective. He tenderly details from Scripture and his own pilgrimage on pain’s pathway how God graciously and lovingly employs suffering to draw true believers in Christ nearer to Him. Whether you now suffer or comfort those who do, this is a must read.” 
John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church

The Darkness and the Glory
His Cup and the Glory from Gethsemane to the Ascension
 By: Greg Harris


“By examining the cross from Christ's perspective, The Darkness and the Glory provides a compelling behind-the-scenes look at the profound spiritual and theological realities of Calvary-realities that transcend the physical, as the wrath of man was surpassed by both the wrath of Satan and ultimately the wrath of God. With theological acumen and pastoral insight, Greg Harris invites readers to join him on a journey to the cross they will never forget. Doctrinally sound yet warmly devotional, this Christ-centered book is highly recommended to all who desire a better understanding of the glories of the cross. As you read the pages that follow, may the infinite suffering and ultimate triumph of Christ rekindle your heartfelt worship, praise, and thanksgiving.” 
John MacArthur

The Master's Plan for the Church
 By: John MacArthur

Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. Instead, it is absolutely essential that the local church adhere unfalteringly to biblical shepherding principles, perceiving itself as an institution for the glory of God.  Drawing from some of his best-received material on church leadership, Dr. MacArthur guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God requires of her.

The Stone and the Glory
Lessons on the Temple Presence and the Glory of God
 By: Greg Harris


“In The Stone and the Glory, Greg Harris takes his readers on a profound journey through the Scriptures as they explore the glorious realities of the stone prophecies. The journey begins with Abraham on his way to Canaan; it continues with the Israelites wandering toward the Promised Land; it includes the glorious Temple, as well as the life of Christ in the days before His passion; it chronicles the stone prophecies in the book of Acts; and it culminates with Messiah’s return in glory. Along the way, readers will joyfully find themselves identifying with the biblical characters, pondering how they would have responded if they themselves were living in Bible times. Like a skilled tour guide, Dr. Harris brings the Scripture to life in a way that insightfully weds biblical exegesis, Christ-centered theology, and practical application.

Think Biblically
Recovering a Christian Worldview
 By: John MacArthur


This book encourages Christians to "think biblically" — to distinguish which voices lead toward a godly life and which lead astray, to embrace a mind-set absolutely and exclusively dedicated to an understanding of the world based on biblical truth. The authors discuss the outworkings of that worldview in issues of postmodernism, gender, worship, psychology, science, education, history, government, economics, and the arts and literature. Each writer also suggests resources for further study. This book will prove to be helpful to anyone striving to think biblically in today’s culture.
