We beheld His Glory

Doctrine – Theology by 
T.A. Sparks

if Jesus lives now, can we recognize him? Will we embrace Him and follow His teachings, or will we nail Him on the cross for the second time around? Jesus is a mystery. He had always been different from everyone else. That’s why it is hard to interpret His words and actions based on standard terms. Despite the great number of words said about His love, it is difficult not to be offended by Him, whether the listener was a religious leader, a disciple, or a close friend. This volume is a mediation in the Gospel of John. The author avoided anything technical for it is not designed to be an exposition or commentary. Its sole objective is to impart the spiritual message of the disciple’s written Gospel. As we read this book, may it help us ponder about Jesus’ life so that we see the way He sees and loves the very things He loves.

Union with Christ by T. A. Sparks

Union with Christ and In Christ

Doctrine – Theology  by 
T. A. Sparks

At the center of all the knowledge and experiences that have defined man’s relationship with God, Union with Christ is written to express these revelations and understand the flow of information. The book can be said to be a metaphor for a hub of a mighty wheel. Radiating from Christ and reaching God, the book comments on aspects of election, sanctification, creation, repentance, salvation, glorification, redemption, regeneration, faith, justification, conversation and more. The author contemplates the meanings necessary for arriving at the truth, which is the value of devotional living. In an effort to unite with the eternal Christ, Austin focuses on meditation methods that seek the meaning of Christ, setting the background and laying the foundations of this union. The book allows a greater understanding of Christ’s greatness by applying various conceptions from the New Testament. The book seeks practical values for spiritual living, as opposed to theological discussions.

Rivers of Living Water

When life turns dry and empty, where would you turn? Will you succumb to lifelessness and continue walking like a living dead? Or will you turn to the source of spiritual nourishment to live a better life? This book is one of the favorites of Austin Sparks’ avid readers among his works. It focuses on Christ as a living river, revealing the indwelling Lord. It also answers theological questions concerning types, symbolism, and shadows. This work connects the book of Ezekiel with the book of Revelation, which will challenge us to think deeply. Though it is written in an easy-to-understand manner, it should be digested in small portions. Beautifully written and highly recommended to those searching for meaning and purpose in life, it will take you to a journey through the Bible and tie it to real life.

The Centrality and Supremacy of Christ

Doctrine – Theology  by 
T.A.Sparks

Why do you wake up each morning? What is your reason for living? Where do you get the strength to go through each day with all the problems life throws on you?
This book is a compilation of conference messages of Austin Sparks. The influence of Christ is discussed based on different spheres, which are presented from small to large. It discussed Christ as the center of everything—from the individual believer’s life, the church, the nations of the Earth up to the universe. It reveals the treasure of Christ within. It also showed how the Lord enables us to do good as we dwell on His Son’s love. May this book encourage us to do wonders in this world because we are created in His image and are meant to reflect His image.

Calvin on Self Denial by John Calvin

Calvin on Self Denial

Doctrine – Theology  by 
John Calvin

In his book that tackles the concept of self-denial, John Calvin discusses our relationship with Christ, interactions with people, sanctifications, trials and difficulties in a simple and concise tone. He communicates truth unapologetically and gracefully, the book is a reflection of Christ’s teachings and duties of believers to promote the glory of God. Calvin encourages his readers to exhibit greater proficiency by faithfully obeying God and his commandments, shunning all private regards to them including wealth and power that may distract our minds in pursuit of favors, luxury, applause and worldly ambitions. He further criticizes the practice of virtue that is followed by desires and the sake of praise, arguing that outward works have to be done from a pure feeling of love. John Calvin was a man who devoted himself entirely to the service of God, abandoning his own will, and he asks his readers to do the same.

The Attributes of God by A.W. Pink

The Attributes of God

Doctrine – Theology  by 
A.W. Pink

How do you view God? Do you see Him as a tyrant who wants to rule your life but never respects your feelings, or do you see Him as a loving Parent who may be disciplinary at times but wants what’s good for you? Do you want the power to control everything in your life even if you end up destroying yourself, or do you find comfort knowing that there is God who can turn your bad situation upside down? In this book, Don Fortner enumerated the characteristics of God. He explained that if we fail to understand his attributes and think of him as a fallible being like us, it will lead to the twisted perception of His Holiness that can make us turn away from Him. But if we trust that He wants everything for our good, we can see the beautiful things He is making in His time.

The True Gospel of Christ vs The False Gospel of Carnal Christianity by L.R. Shelton

The Gospel of Christ vs Carnal Christianity

Doctrine – Theology  by 
L.R. Shelton

What does it take to claim that you’re a Christian? Do we need to be pure, or is it ok to deliberately sin? What disqualifies us in taking His name?
This book is a detailed evaluation of “easy-believism” where justification in Christ is offered with liberty but without responsibility. That teaching holds that man can receive Christ without bowing to His authority—a belief held by carnal Christians. However, Shelton argues that there is no such thing as carnal Christianity. If a professed believer is carnal, then he is not a Christian at all.
This work is a rebuke to shake off any false sense of security not grounded on His true teachings. However, it is also an encouragement to those who are devoted to God. It aims to strengthen our faith as we walk and serve Him with all our hearts. May we found that strength as we go through its pages.

Treasures of Bonar

Anthology of Bonar Books  by 
Horatius Bonar

If bad things happen in your life despite being faithful to the ministry, what will you do? Will you turn your back from God, or will you persist and walk towards Him?
Horatius Bonar is a gifted pastor, preacher, and hymn writer, and this book is a compilation of outstanding quotations from him. The discussions are divided into 12 topics ideally useful in studying doctrinal truths about the Gospel, sanctification, salvation, suffering, missions, and marks of a true Christian. Doctrines that are distasteful to human pride but are scriptural.
A man who endured numerous tribulations, Bonar’s life and ministry are indeed sustained by the hands of God. A source of encouragement for anyone who values Christian teaching, his timeless truth should be introduced to a new generation of readers.

The Throne of Grace by Horatius Bonar

The Throne of Grace

God’s Grace  by 
Horatius Bonar

As men, we are born tainted with sin. We were condemned to be apart from God’s presence by the sins of our forefathers. But is there a means to reverse it? How can we obtain forgiveness and be reconciled to God? The Throne of Grace is a Theo poetry of the goodness of God. It examines the prayer life, communion, and faith of a believer. It shows that Christ is not only a High Priest who has compassion on someone who’s out of the way but a friend who sanctified us through His sacrifices. Bonar is a Scottish poet and minister. He came from a line of ministers who served the church of Scotland for a total of 364 years. His life is no rainbow and butterflies, though. He suffered loss and hardships like any human beings. But this suffering brings out the poetry in writings which is evident in every work he penned.

Collection of Spurgeon books  by 
Charles Hadon Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon is dubbed the Prince of Preachers for his influence on different denominations of Christianity. He was equipped with the knowledge of the Bible since childhood, for his father and grandfather were pastors. However, he was only converted when he was 15. At 16, he delivered his first sermon to a small gathering of farmers. At 19, he became the shepherd of a flock in London which later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle. In January 1855, Spurgeon’s sermons were published weekly until 1916, twenty-four years after his death.
This collection contains 21 sermons of the Prince of Preachers. It is frequently requested among the 800 titles available in Chapel’s Library. In this book, let’s discover the key to the success of the Spurgeon’s ministry.
