1. Forty Days on the Mountain: Meditations on Knowing God by Stephen Smallman

Pages: 160 | List Price: $12.99 | Paperback

About

Do you want to know God deeply? Why not start with learning from the man who spoke to God face to face? Stephen Smallman takes you on a journey alongside Moses, delving into the richness of God’s unfolding revelations of himself in Exodus and Deuteronomy—but also pointing onward to Christ. God told Moses his name, proved his holiness time and again, and demonstrated his love and loyalty to his people. In his grace, he even allowed Moses to become a type of his Son. As you follow Moses through forty meditations, your knowledge of God will deepen, and you will better experience God’s presence in your life, just as Moses did.

2. Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone, Revised and Updated by Elyse Fitzpatrick

Pages: 240 | List Price: $14.99 | Paperback

About

Do you feel discouraged, even defeated, in your battle against habitual sin? Are you dismayed or surprised by the situations that bring out your fear, anger, or distress? Elyse Fitzpatrick delves into the heart of the problem: deep down, we’re all idol-worshippers who put our loves, desires, and expectations in God’s place—and then suffer the consequences of our misplaced affections. Yet God loves his people and can use even our messy lives and struggles for his glory. Fitzpatrick shows us how to better search and know our hearts, long for our gracious Savior, and resist and crush our false gods. Includes questions for further thought. Revised edition.

Endorsements

“Elyse Fitzpatrick is one of the best authors you could read today if you want help to truly love Jesus and recognize the deception of your own sinful heart. . . . I’m thrilled that after fifteen years a second edition of this excellent work is now available.”

—Brad Bigney, Author, Gospel Treason

“Elyse Fitzpatrick has a very high view of God, and this book reflects that view. With great clarity and intriguing biblical illustrations, Elyse explains how the idols in our hearts compete with our affections for God. In a gentle way, she tells you how by God’s grace to turn from your idols to a wholehearted love for God.”

—Martha Peace, Author, The Excellent Wife 


3. Black and Reformed: Seeing God’s Sovereignty in the African-American Christian Experience, Second Edition by Anthony J. Carter

Pages: 160 | List Price: $13.99 | Paperback

About

African Americans have a rich and compelling Christian heritage—one that stretches back to foundational figures such as the church fathers Augustine and Tertullian. Yet white Christians often expect their black brothers and sisters to embrace a Eurocentric theology that marginalizes their own experiences and traditions.

In this book, Anthony Carter draws both black and Reformed theology together, showing how Reformed theology’s biblical stance addresses African-American experiences such as the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and oppression by so-called Christians. Carter also explores a few of the ways that an explicitly black theology can enhance our understanding of God and his Word, no matter our ethnicity.

This second edition includes new material: a foreword by Thabiti Anyabwile, an interview with the author, and discussion questions for each chapter.

Endorsements

“As an African American, I am delighted with this book. It will serve as an excellent introduction to Reformed theology for the emerging black Reformed community. I anticipate that it will be a great resource for church planters and anyone else seeking to reach the black community.”

—Anthony B. Bradley, Author, Liberating Black Theology 

“When I met Anthony Carter several years ago, I detected a rigorous mind, a righteous concern for racial justice, and a Reformed vision of God—a rare combination. Since then I have wanted to be a listener. Now this book makes that easier. May the Lord of nations use it to shape a powerful movement of God-centered Christians from all peoples who have tasted suffering.”

—John Piper, Founder and Teacher, desiringGod.org
