The family is a husband and father’s principal ministry. What are the responsibilities of the head of the home? Of course, men are called to provide, protect, and lead their families. But how are these overarching obligations to be applied to their family's spiritual well-being? A Man as Priest in His Home is an excellent handbook for answering this question. Sam Waldron walks husbands and fathers through their biblical duties as the spiritual leaders of their families. As with the responsibilities of priests in the Old Covenant, the head of the home is called to pray, lead the family in worship, and teach and apply the Scriptures in all areas of life. Among other things, a priest is called to be a counselor, teacher, intercessor, encourager, and judge.

As the head of my home, I am deeply thankful for this practical book. It is extremely helpful. Waldron has not only provided useful direction and encouragement but has also instilled fresh zeal and motivation to take my role as husband and father more seriously. I eagerly recommend this to every Christian husband and father. May God use it to strengthen homes around the world.

Hospitality, or showing love to strangers, is a Christian duty (Rom. 12:13). It does not require fine china, multiple courses, or perfectly clean and decorated homes. It requires that we share our time, homes, meals, and fellowship with others—and if we understand salvation as God showing hospitality to former enemies, we will want to do so. Thinking through the practical issues of inviting people into our homes can make practicing it easier. This booklet presents seven ways that can help us think practically about how to follow our Lord’s command in this area.
Are your elders’ or deacons’ meetings satisfying and productive, or do they drag on with little accomplished? Does your group spend too much time on trivial matters? Do you find it hard to stay on track when discussing important issues?
If you are less than satisfied with the quality of your meetings, you are not alone. These are just a few of the common complaints. The fact is good meetings don’t just happen. People have to learn how to lead and how to participate in meetings effectively.
The Boy Who Shouted 'Wolf!' But There Wasn't a Wolf and Other Fables brings together more of Geoffrey Thomas's short stories, each brimming with the big-heartedness, warmth and homespun humour that he is known for. From both the ancient and modern world, Geoffrey Thomas introduces a host of extraordinary characters in his fantastical tales based on Aesop's fables: a slave escapes death in the lion's den; a donkey and a dog compete for attention; the sun and the wind battle to see who's stronger. Perfect for Middle Grade (9–12 year-old) readers and teeming with gospel truth and encouragement, Thomas's stories are a delight.

The kingdoms of men have their histories and so do Christians. While the stories of the kingdoms of men fade with their empires, these are the stories that have never faded because the Church of Jesus Christ continues to flourish in every corner of this world today. And, the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. These essential writings on church history give first hand accounts of the development of the Christian church in the Western world. This account is the true heritage of every Christian in the world and should be treasured as such....
