The Almost Christian Discovered

Our Price: $15.95

There is damage to one corner on the front and one corner on the back of the book.
The Almost Christian Discovered by Matthew Mead is a classic work written in 1661. The primary doctrine which Mead considers is this: “There are very many in the world that are almost, and yet but almost Christians; many that are near heaven, and yet are never the nearer; many that are within a little of salvation, and yet shall never enjoy the least salvation; they are within sight of heaven, and yet shall never have a sight of God.” Mead looks at twenty signs which most would clearly say were true of Christians and then shows plainly, using biblical examples, how each one of them may be equally true of non-Christians. Some of those signs are: A man may have much knowledge; he may know much of God, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may go far in opposing his sin, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may hate sin, and be but almost a Christian; A man may have great hopes of heaven, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may be under great and visible changes, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may be much in prayer, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may have faith, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may have a love to the people of God, and yet be but almost a Christian; A man may obey the commands of God, and yet be but almost a Christian.” John MacArthur has written ofThe Almost Christian Discovered: “This volume offers a much needed antidote to the shallowness and flipancy that characterizes today’s Christianity. It contrasts sharply with the modern tendency to embrace as a brother or sister in the faith everyone who names the name of Christ. It sounds an alarm that few today would dare even whisper. In fact, The Almost Christian Discovered provides sobering proof of how far the contemporary church had slipped from the moorings of her heritage.” Newly typeset with archaic spellings changed. Hardbound. 134 pages.

The Depravity of Man, the Decrees of God, and Godâ€™s Sovereign Regeneration

The Depravity of Man, the Decrees of God, and God’s Sovereign Regeneration

Our Price: $17.95

This book is new, but has minor shipping damage to one or more corners
The Depravity of Man, the Decrees of God, and God’s Sovereign Regeneration by Bennet Tyler is a masterpiece of sound theology from a man who spent much of his life training seminary students in that discipline. Tyler was a thorough student of Jonathan Edwards and frequent quotes from Edwards are found in the book, along with quotes from Joseph Bellamy. Sermons begin with the original character of man, and proceed to the fall and its consequences, and the native depravity of man. Tyler then addresses the Decrees of God in several chapters. “The doctrine of decrees has been more violently opposed, and more strenuously controverted, than almost any other doctrine of the Calvinist system,” writes Tyler. He then turns his attention to moral agency, including natural and moral inability, and what right and wrong are ultimately predicated upon—external actions, volitions, or the affections? He spends eighty pages handling accurately the doctrine of regeneration. The book also includes a Memoir of Bennet Tyler by Rev. Nahum Gale. Paperback. 382 pages.

Pilgrim’s Progress Through the Wastelands of Heresy and Revivalism

Our Price: $19.95

Pilgrim’s Progress Through the Wastelands of Heresy and Revivalism by William Weeks. This book has slight damage to one or more corners on the cover. Journey with the pilgrims Thoughtful and Ardent as they encounter numerous adversaries and enemies to true godliness travelingl the same road that Bunyan’s pilgrims did hundreds of years before. Preachers like Dr. Smoothman, Mr. Blindguide, and Mr. Save-all espouse their doctrines to all who will listen, and many are happy with what they hear from them. Soon after starting their journey, Thoughtful and Ardent meet fellow pilgrims Feel-well, Love-self, and No-law, who come into the way through the stile of The Hypocrite’s Hope, and whose theology differs greatly from their own. As a chronicle of how we got where we are today in doctrine and practice, especially regarding our evangelistic practices, Pilgrim’s Progress Through the Wastelands of Heresy and Revivalism, stands as a masterful work which needs to be read by all who profess to be Christians. The main characters in this book are real people and the highly entertaining narrative instructs and informs the reader of heresy and error prevailent in the church today through the eyes of real historical events. Two of the characters are Mr. Bold, who represents Charles Finney, and Mr. Meek, who represents Asahel Nettleton. In these pages the classic struggle which changed Christian theology are recorded by one of the eyewitnesses to the events, Rev. William Weeks. Although written in 1848, you will recognize clearly the message of today’s churches in the narrative story of this book and it will change the way you think about modern Christianity. 490 pages. Paperback.
