P&R Direct Catalog

Posted on by Kim

You may have noticed that the most recent Direct Catalog that P&R sent out is different than our past catalogs. Even though not all of our books are listed in the new catalog, ALL of our books are still discounted when ordered with the coupon code: Direct. Browse through all of P&R’s books at http://prpbooks.com/. We are still planning on printing and mailing out 1 complete catalog listing each year. The other catalogs that get sent out will be similar to the current one – focused on the new books that have recently been released. If you are not included in our mailing and wish to be added to our list, visit http://prpbooks.com/ and sign up in the upper left hand corner of our website where it says, “Join our mailing list”.

Also, we announced on the front of our catalog that we have a new website coming soon! It will be a much more user friendly website design. We are very excited about this and we will announce when it goes live.

What Others Say about this Book:

“In this one volume you can find some of the best traditional Reformed preaching throughout the span of American history. It provides not only memorable sermons but also fascinating examples of historical change and continuity.” – George Marsden

“A most useful volume for modern preachers of the gospel. It still amazes me that many evangelicals have little or no understanding of the immense contribution that Reformed preaching has made to the United States of America. This wonderfully edited work will serve the church well.” – John H. Armstrong

“The sermons in this volume confirm the Word of God preached has a supreme influence explained only by the power of Christ Jesus, Lord of life and history. May many preachers read and be encouraged, and may they return to their mighty task with diligence and passion.” – Joel Nederhood

“Any who desire to re-shape the world through the proclamation of the Word will find great inspiration in Sermons That Shaped America. These messages are trustworthy guides that provide fresh courage and confidence for the unique, and sometime lonely, paths God calls his preachers to walk today.” – Bryan Chapell

Author Interview with Brad Bigney

Posted on by Kim

This week we get to learn more about Brad Bigney, author of Gospel Treason: Betraying the Gospel with Hidden Idols.

  • Tell Us a Little About Yourself.

I am an ordained minister with the Evangelical Free Church of America. I graduated from Columbia Bible College and Columbia Biblical Seminary in South Carolina. I am a certified biblical counselor with ACBC (Association of Certified Biblical Counselors) and am involved in the counseling ministry of the church, as well as teaching at other conferences and training centers across the nation. I have been serving as the senior pastor of Grace Fellowship Church since January 1996. My wife, Vicki and I have five wonderful children that God has used to teach me so much.

 

  • What made you want to write this book?

As a pastor and certified ACBC counselor, I have counseled each year, for the past twenty years, and the issue of idolatry is consistently at the heart of most people’s struggle because it has to do with why we can’t seem to really change long-term.

Also, the subject of idolatry more than any other has been one of the great awakenings in my life.  My salvation was first, followed by an understanding of the sovereignty of God over all things, followed, several years later, by an understanding of the idols of my own heart.  This was a major breakthrough for me in understanding why I do what I do, and why it’s so hard to consistently put to death certain sins. And the breakthrough came in the context of wrestling through a terrible marriage even while I was serving as full-time pastor.

 

  • What kind of response have you received in regard to this book?

So far the response has been fantastic. Many people have said that since it is so personal is was hard to read but that it produced great fruit in their lives.

 

  • What are your hobbies?

I love to spend time with my family, work in the yard, bike with my wife, read great books, and watch the NFL.

 

  • What Is Your favorite flavor of ice cream?

My favorite flavor is Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip ice cream.
