Band of Bloggers

The seventh book given away, the second by Reformation Heritage Books, is Walking as He Walked by Joel Beeke.   Here is how Derek Thomas describes this book: “A Christ-centered tour de force which gets us into Christ’s servant heart and asks the pointed questions of what that means for us who are in union with Him. Deeply and affectionately pastoral, Dr. Beeke gives us a magestirial example of puritan-infused, preached prose that is as fresh as the air we breath. Like the puritan Richard Sibbes, know to his contemporaries as ‘the sweet dropper’ Dr. Beeke has a similar touch, presenting to us the confidence, richness, depth, and encouragement of the gospel.”

I am excited about this particular resource as we explore gospel application in our daily lives.  I want to express my gratefulness to Reformation Heritage Books for their continued support and generous contribution to the Band of Bloggers!

The sixth giveaway at this year’s Band of Bloggers is John MacArthur’s most recent (release date: April 1, 2008) book, A Tale of Two Sons, provided by Grace to You.  Unpacking a popular passage in the Gospels, MacArthur brings his careful exegetical eye and expositional approach to provide biblical insight on our struggle with sin, the need for humble repentance, and the Father’s inexhaustible mercy and love.  The Parable of the Prodigal Son reveals the beautiful feet of the gospel running for sinners–the gospel of which we are called to walk worthy.

I am deeply grateful for Grace to You for their generous contribution and partnership with Band of Blogger fellowship.  May the Lord use this resource to rivet our hearts and awaken us to the pursuing mercy of our glorious Father!

The fifth giveaway, reThink by Steve Wright, comes from InQuest Ministries.  This book seeks to challenge the current methods of student ministry while offering an overview of a biblical framework for ministry.  Wright challenges churches to rethink how teenagers relate in a gospel-centered community where the fundamental relationships of family are emphasized rather than replaced.  I am happy to commend this free book to all who attend this year’s Band of Bloggers fellowship as we consider how the gospel trust affects every area of church, ministry, and life–including teenagers.

Thank you, InQuest, for being such a generous supporter and partner with Band of Bloggers and The Gospel Trust!  For more information about reThink, check out their upcoming conference scheduled for May 16 at Raleigh, NC.
