Destiny: Learning to live by Preparing to Die
Destiny aims to prepare the reader to find joy and satisfaction in God’s good gifts by putting all life in the perspective of our deaths. It takes us through the book of Ecclesiastes in a way that helps us internalise the deep lessons of wisdom and common sense it contains – most of all, the realisation of the brevity of our lives and the limits on our power and understanding. It is a book about gaining true wisdom.
New City Catechism
The New City Catechism is available in two print editions published by Crossway. The original book features short and long versions of all 52 questions and answers and is perfect for use in both the home and the church. The devotional edition pairs each question and answer with a Scripture reading, a short prayer, and a devotional commentary, making it ideal for personal reading and meditation.

Mercy on Every Side
John Calvin’s doctrine of election, though well known, is not well understood. Many assume they know what Calvin means by the doctrine without listening carefully to his treatment of it in his Institutes of the Christian Religion. Calvin’s aim was not simply to explain the meaning of Christian doctrines, but to provide an interpretive key for reading the Bible.

Three Symptoms of a Dying Church
One of the defining marks of a dying church is that the people in it don’t realize it’s dying.

You Do Not Have Much Time
Time is something given to us that we often don’t fully appreciate until we don’t have much left. But the wise will ask God how to use it.

Let Death Teach You How to Live
We live in a culture that ignores death, denies death, and hides death from view. But we will only truly live if we learn to meet death in advance.

Is All Really Vanity?
The apparent bleakness and pessimism in Ecclesiastes has long baffled interpreters of Scripture. Some even argue that book’s epilogue corrects the “unorthodox” theology in the middle. But Christians need not discard the body of Ecclesiastes as the musings of a cynic.

For Us and For Our Salvation
The message of salvation is the story of two Adams. “For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous” (Rom. 5:19). What the first Adam undid, the second Adam repairs. But who is this second Adam, and what kind of person must He be to do this? Why is He—and only He—able to obey in this way?
The Surprising Tree
In Genesis 2:9 we first hear about the tree of life. We don’t know too much about it, other than that it is the midst of the garden of Eden and that Adam and Eve are barred from it after the fall, lest they eat from it and live forever. The tree, now hopelessly out of reach, seems capable of bestowing eternal life. So from Genesis 3 onward, the tree of life is a symbol of what we’ve lost, an unending life of joyful dependence on God, enjoying him and his good gifts forever.
