Truths we confess by R C Sproul $40.00
 
Truths We Confess: A Layman's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith, Volume 3
 
Experienced Bible teacher and pastor R. C. Sproul explains, "From the early days of the Apostles' Creed...the church's commitment is shown to the command of our Lord not only to believe in our hearts, but also to profess with our lips what it is that we believe. Christianity is a religion with content. Its truths are central to the life and practice of the church."

Each new generation faces the challenge of keeping its doctrine pure. In order to protect the church from distortions of the Word, it must confess the faith carefully and consistently. In this new work, the first volume of Sproul's three-part series on the Westminster Confession of Faith, Sproul discusses the first eight chapters. Topics discussed include Scripture, the Trinity, Creation, Providence, the Fall, God's Covenant with Humanity, and Christ as Mediator.

Biblical leadership by Ken Collier and Matt Williams $24.00
 
Biblical Leadership: Becoming a Different Kind of Leader
 
There are many types of leaders: leaders in the business world, in government, in the home, and in the local church. Sorry to say, many times leadership has been totally contrary to what the Bible teaches. Many leaders are focused on what they can get from their positions of authority, rather than on what they can give to the works in which they are involved. While some view it as a tool for popularity and power, leadership is a privilege. Leadership also requires responsibility. We need biblical leaders who are people of integrity and humility—leaders who are willing to be different.
