Learning God’s Story of Grace

Posted on June 1, 2011 by prpbooks

Promo Content In this meaningful, inviting, and encouraging study, Elizabeth Turnage lays out God’s grand story and helps you see where your own story fits. Engaging questions allow you to apply not only the study, but the entire story itself, to your own life. Unique sections help you to engage Scripture and live out the gospel in your own story.

The Bible exhorts us to know and tell our stories and how they fit into God’s grand narrative, for only then will we find meaning. This engaging, welcoming guide is where it all starts.

1 Kings: Reformed Expository Commentary

Posted on May 12, 2011 by prpbooks

The newest addition to the Reformed Expository Commentary series has arrived! 1 Kings marks the sixteenth volume in the set and is the fifth volume to cover a New Testament text.

“Sadly for many North American Christians, the Old Testament is a dead book, often treated merely as a foil against which to interpret the New Testament. Phil Ryken’s work goes much, much farther. This volume is a model of exposition, combining thorough and responsible exegesis with a passion to communicate the life-giving power of Old Testament Scriptures for the church.”

—Daniel I. Block, Gunther H. Knoedler Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois

Westminster Bookstore is currently holding a special on 1 Kings and the rest of the great titles from the Reformed Expository Commentary series: WTS BOOKS
