Two New Arrivals at RHB

It’s hard for me to put into words how excited I am about the two books I am holding here, both of which are new titles that arrived today, printed by Reformation Heritage Books.

For many years, I have wanted to reprint Hugh Binning’s “Works.” Binning was a 17th-century Scotsman who pastored in Glasgow. He died at the age of 26 from tuberculosis, but what a burning and shining light he was as a young minister! His 40 sermons on Romans 8:1-15 and his 28 sermons on fellowship with God from 1 John 1:1—2:3 are worth their weight in gold. Here is biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical preaching at its best. This book is a feast for the mind and the soul.

The second book, “A Discovery of Glorious Love,” is by John Durant (1620-1689), a popular Puritan preacher in England whose writings masterfully blend good theology and warm piety. This is the first time that this heart-warming book has been set in modern typeface and reprinted since the 17th century! It beautifully unpacks Christ’s transcendent love to believers, and stresses that His love is our strongest comfort in times of affliction.

Year End Gift

I just had a wonderful time giving about 50 copies of volume 3 of “Reformed Systematic Theology: The Spirit and Salvation” by Paul Smalley and me to all of our faculty and staff at PRTS and all our employees at RHB as a year end gift. While at RHB, I couldn’t help notice that the closest order to me that was waiting to be packed up was from a friend who ordered 25 copies of my wife Mary’s new book, “Teach Them to Work: Building a Positive Work Ethic in Our Children”—to be sent to numerous friends spread throughout several states. I quickly snapped this picture to encourage my Queen!
