Nearly 25% of American Christians do not regularly attend church in person (Pew Research, 2023). How can we recapture the duty and delight of public worship?

Public worship is not simply something we should do; it is something we should love. In the newest Puritan Treasure for Today, David Clarkson helps believers glorify God by enjoying the privilege and duty of the corporate assembly.

A Sweet Flame introduces listeners to the piety of Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). Dr. Haykin's biographical sketch of Edwards captures the importance the New England minister placed on Scripture, family piety, and the church's reliance upon God. The remainder of the book presents 26 selections from various letters written by Edwards, two written by family members at his death, and an appendix drawing upon Edwards's last will and the inventor of his estate.

Filled with the characteristic warm humour and biblical clarity that readers and listeners have come to expect, Dale Ralph Davis’ exposition of Psalms 38-51 will help listeners to get to know God’s Word better. Each chapter begins with Davis’ own translation of the Psalm from the Hebrew, before delving into his exposition.

And so he gathered together a people for himself, and fostered them with many liberal distributions of his bounty, and, after so often finding them most ungrateful, ever exhorted them to repentance and sent out the voices of the universal company of the prophets to prophesy. By and by, promising freely the grace which in the last times he was intending to pour as a flood of light on the universal world through his Spirit, he bade the baptism of repentance lead the way.

In General Peter Muhlenberg: A Virginia Officer of the Continental Line, historian Michael Cecere cuts away the romanticism surrounding this fascinating character to present him as a highly capable and dedicated officer who served for seven long years in America’s War for Independence; a man of faith who held the high ideals of that office in his conduct with fellow officers and regular soldiers alike.

Sometimes referred to as the Second London Baptist Confession, this important work contains all 32 articles of Christian faith as reviewed and agreed upon in 1689. Not only does this statement present historic significance, but it is also a labor of spiritual study in the hopes of strengthening, convicting, and uplifting generations of Christians. A collection of valuable knowledge, this confession urges a return to Scripture and a life of dedicated discipleship.

Our souls cry out for nourishment, but many times we look to the world for a satisfying answer. God is always speaking, even in the most unsuspecting ways, and desires to feed our souls with the never stale food of his word. D. T. Niles said, "Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread." So from one beggar to another, here is some bread for the day!

The second letter to the Corinthians is a touchstone for pastors seeking advice on effective ministry. It is a revealing window into the tumult of Paul's relationship with this congregation that shows Paul's concern for the spiritual welfare of a local church. Although he loved the Corinthians dearly and labored for them intensely, their relationship was marked by the tensions and challenges that are acutely familiar to church leaders today: unclear expectations, comparison to other pastors, criticisms of ministry style, vocational stresses, disputes over money, and more.

For a group of scientists, their Christian faith is put to the ultimate test: going back in time to find the true meaning of faith in Christ. For Dr. Graham Parker, his journey takes him back to the crucifixion. For his assistant Raj, his journey is the beginning of time itself. All Christians have come to a crossroads in their faith. Though this is a science fiction-based story, the lesson in faith is still the same. We must look no further than our own hearts according to God’s word.

The Puritans frequently talked about dying well. That is something we do not discuss much these days, though we should. In this book, George Swinnock presents modern listeners with valuable food for thought as he expounds Psalm 73:26, My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

It is not uncommon for professing Christians to question the genuineness of their faith.

Burgess provides helpful advice for avoiding a presumptuous spirit while developing a humble confidence in grace. Here is a book that will help you understand the marks of grace and avoid some common abuses associated with self-examination.

Clement describes Judson’s thirst for theological knowledge, his understanding and acceptance of salvation, and his journey into and on the mission field. It is detailed how he listened to the Holy Spirit’s call for him to heed the Great Commission and how, despite all legal and practical obstacles, he secured his way into the field as the first American foreign missionary.

B. B. Warfield is well known as one of America’s leading theologians, perhaps second only to Jonathan Edwards. But until now the character of his own Christian experience and his understanding of the Christian life have remained unexplored. Fred Zaspel unpacks these for us here, and what we find is that Warfield’s profound theological mind is matched only by his passionate heart for Christ. From Warfield we learn truly what it is to live in light of the gospel.

Through introductions, commentary, and Christological connections, listeners will learn to love these glorious books.

John Calvin is the most notable figure from the Reformed tradition. Unfortunately, he is often characterized as a stern and cerebral individual who had little concern for practical matters. However, Calvin was actually influential in promoting a profound sense of piety among early Protestantism. In The Soul of Life, Joel R. Beeke presents the life and ministry of Calvin with a special emphasis on Calvin's efforts for cultivating healthy spirituality among the churches. T
