While most of us barely begin to even consider the “why” questions, Arthur W. Pink plainly declared the unpopular truth about the root cause of all human maladies. In his incisive way, Pink explained that the reason for the human condition is a spiritual one. Man has been a rebel against his Maker ever since the rebellion of our first parents in the garden of Eden. In this book, there are unique insights into depravity not commonly found in the more modern writings on the topic, as well as very precious truths about the finished work of Jesus in saving sinners.

This is a very well-written explanation and defense of the biblical doctrine of predestination. The author, Loraine Boettner, received a bachelor of science degree from Tarkio College in 1925. He then attended Princeton Theological Seminary, receiving two degrees there: a bachelor of theology in 1928, and a master of theology in 1929.

This short but helpful book is a must for all Christians who want to walk in a manner worthy of Jesus Christ, pleasing him in all things. Pink aptly uses Proverbs 4:23 to show that keeping or guarding the heart is key to walking in that worthy manner. For from the heart are all “the issues of life.” As goes the heart, so goes the life. Whether you are a young or old Christian, or whether you live in prosperity or in adversity, this is a superb guide to practical Christian thinking and living.

Arthur W. Pink gets right to the point in this brief but beneficial book. To pray correctly, Christians need clarity, and this book delivers. Pink said it well: “We need something better than that which is of mere human origin to guide us if we are to perform aright this essential duty.” This book assists the modern disciple to better understand the Lord’s Prayer taught to those first disciples long ago.

Who is Satan? Is he real? How did he become the devil? What is he doing now, and how does he work? What is his ultimate end? This fascinating book describes what God reveals about the archenemy of God and of all believers. Using the Bible, Arthur W. Pink lays out, in an engaging and approachable way, who Satan is, and the “gospel” he uses in his many attempts to confuse and confound the ongoing work of our Lord. This short book is especially relevant to our day, as what Pink saw in “the bud” is now in full bloom and producing much evil fruit.

As in all his writings, Pink clearly and accurately describes the truth of Jesus’ teaching to the multitudes so many years ago and how his teaching is still very relevant to us today. Volume 2 covers the entire sixth chapter of Matthew: alms, prayer, fasting, covetousness, the single eye, serving God, and anxiety forbidden.

This classic by Horatius Bonar is essential to any true minister of the gospel or serious Christian teacher. It greatly helps clarify the central purpose of the gospel minister in calling men to Christ. It also aids in identifying the numerous problems that can creep into the life of a minister through carelessness and indifference. As Bonar explores many of the problems of his day, we find that we still struggle with the same problems in our day.

A wonderfully helpful book. Christians need divine comfort, and Arthur W. Pink reminds us of the incredibly glorious comfort that belongs to every Christian. From our never being condemned for our sins, through all the various afflictions, chastisements, sufferings, and trials of life, all the way to the death of each saint, the comfort God provides his own can be richly exercised in the hearts and lives of every Christian.
