The book of Romans is the Bible's most comprehensive summary of salvation by Jesus Christ. Beloved for its profound theological depths, this letter of Paul's has captured the minds and warmed the hearts of Christians throughout history. It remains a favorite New Testament epistle for its rich presentation of the gospel, the power of God to redeem people from sin and transform them into the likeness of His Son.
This daily devotional lets you spend a year in Romans with Dr. R.C. Sproul as your guide. The fruit of deep study and decades of teaching, his sermons are presented here in a unique format with accompanying applications from each reading. Set out on this yearlong study as you seek to walk in the power of the gospel, one day at a time.
Looking out at the world today, it can be easy for Christians to lose heart. The Apostle Paul evidently felt the same way. His remedy was to teach us not to focus on the things that are seen but on the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal (2 Cor. 4:18). Every day, we must reorient our thoughts around the unchanging truth of Christ: who He is and who we are in Him.
In this yearlong devotional, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson brings his signature warmth and wisdom to daily meditations on the Christian life. Each week's reflections follow a theme to help Christians look to the Lord and live by faith.
We've all experienced life-changing moments. Our calendars are marked with anniversaries of enduring significance. But Holy Week is a celebration of the most important week in history, the week that changed the world. It recalls Jesus' final days in Jerusalem when the Son of God accomplished His mission to bring forgiveness of sin and eternal life to all who trust in Him.
This book collects several of Dr. R.C. Sproul's reflections on the climactic week in Jesus' redemptive ministry. In these pages, you will:
Holy Week is a book for anyone seeking to understand the events at the heart of Christianity. Here is life-changing good news to help cultivate faith in and devotion to the Savior.

In recent years, some evangelical Protestant leaders have signed statements pledging themselves to joint social action with Roman Catholics. Others have refused to participate, declaring that, in their view, the statements went too far, touching on the gospel, which remains a point of disagreement between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Many evangelical Christians have found themselves confused by the different directions taken by their leaders.
In Are We Together? A Protestant Analyzes Roman Catholicism, R.C. Sproul takes his stand for the cardinal doctrines of Protestantism in opposition to the errors of the Roman Catholic Church. Sproul, a passionate defender of the gospel of justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, cites the historic statements of the Protestant Reformers and the Roman Catholic authorities, then references modern doctrinal statements to show that the Roman Catholic Church has not altered its official positions. In light of this continuing gap, he writes, efforts by some in the evangelical camp to find common ground with Rome on matters at the heart of the gospel are nothing short of untrue to biblical teaching. In Sproul's estimation, the Reformation remains relevant.
Are We Together? is a clarion call to evangelicals to stand firm for the gospel, the precious good news of salvation as it is set forth in Scripture alone.
In The Lightlings, Dr. R.C. Sproul weaves an allegorical tale that captures the essence of the biblical story of redemption in a manner that will fascinate and delight children. A race of tiny beings known as lightlings are a picture of humanity as they pass through all the stages of the biblical drama - creation, fall, and redemption. In the end, children will understand why some people fear light more than darkness, but why they need never fear darkness again.
The Lightlings is an excellent introduction to the key themes of Scripture. Richly detailed illustrations by Justin Gerard will hold children's interest, and discussion questions with Scripture references in the back will help parents guide children into the deeper meaning of the story.
It isn't hard for Christians to identify with the Apostle Peter. As he sought to follow after Jesus, his life was punctuated by bold moments and momentous blunders alike. Yet in spite of Peter's sins, he was the Apostle who confessed the Christ, to which Jesus replied, On this rock I will build my church (Matt. 16:16, 18). The Lord would use this vessel of clay to bring the hope of the gospel to the world.
In this book, Dr. Derek Thomas offers an encouraging portrait of Peter from the Gospels and the book of Acts, with insights from Peter's own writings later in life. At every stroke, our eyes are drawn beyond the disciple to his gracious Master, who fashions stumbling believers into stalwarts of faith.
With The Prince's Poison Cup, Dr. R.C. Sproul continues his series of books designed to present deep biblical truths to children on their own level. In this work, he focuses in on the atonement to show that Jesus had to endure the curse of sin in order to redeem His people from their spiritual death.
When Ella gets sick and has to take yucky medicine, she wonders why something that will help her get well has to taste so bad. When she puts the question to Grandpa, he tells her the story of a great King and His subjects who enjoyed wonderful times together--until the people rebelled against the King and drank from a forbidden well. To their horror, they found that the beautiful water in the well made their hearts turn to stone. To reclaim His people, the King asks His Son, the Prince, to drink from a well of horrid poison. The poison will surely kill the Prince--but He is willing to drink it to please His Father and help His people.
Richly illustrated, The Prince's Poison Cup will help children appreciate the great love of God for His people and the awful price Jesus had to pay because of sin. A For Parents section provides assistance in unfolding the biblical elements of the story.
From beginning to end, the Bible reveals God's gracious plan of salvation. To trace this unfolding plan and to find our place within it, Christians must give careful attention to the covenants God makes in Scripture.
In Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Dr. J.V. Fesko introduces the essential elements of Reformed covenant theology. This classical approach to reading God's Word shows us how the whole Bible fits together with Jesus Christ at its center. Christians also gain clarity on the continuity of God's promises to His people throughout history. In this way, covenant theology can hone our focus on the gospel, enrich our understanding of the sacraments, and deepen our love for the church, all to the glory of God.
Much of what we know about theology--about justification, adoption, sanctification, and glorification--comes directly from the writings of the Apostle Paul. If we removed Paul's writings from Scripture, our understanding of these truths would be greatly impoverished. Paul's inspired writings and the story of his life continue to be a precious gift to the church. Dr. Guy Prentiss Waters leads us on a doctrinally enriching and spiritually edifying journey from Paul's life, conversion, and call to key themes in his theology.

Acts is a book of action. But whose actions does it follow? The most obvious answer is the Apostles'. The book's full name is the Acts of the Apostles, for it recounts their efforts to take the gospel to the nations. Yet we can also think of it as the Acts of the Holy Spirit. Poured out like a mighty rushing wind (Acts 2:2), the Spirit empowered the Apostles' witness and opened hearts to believe. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul offers an in-depth study on the Spirit's work through these Christians and in the growth and spread of the early church.

In today's skeptical age, many people insist that Jesus was, at best, a great teacher. Mark demonstrates that He was--and is--so much more. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul dives into Mark's action-packed and fast-paced gospel. As we are told in vivid detail, Jesus immediately vanquishes demons, banishes diseases, subdues the forces of nature, satisfies hunger, and silences critics. From one mighty miracle to the next, this gospel builds an unshakable case for Jesus' true identity and leads us to confess along with the Apostle Peter that You are the Christ (Mark 8:29).

What would you give to spend an evening with Jesus, hearing Him teach and listening to Him pray? This is what we encounter in the Farewell Discourse of John 13-17. As the shadow of the cross loomed, Christ shared His final hours with the disciples to prepare them for His death, quiet their troubled hearts, and intercede on their behalf before the Father.
In Lessons from the Upper Room, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson draws us into these intimate hours from the night when Jesus was betrayed. This vivid picture of Christ's ministry, from His washing the disciples' feet to His High Priestly Prayer, shows us the heart of Jesus. Discover His deepest desires for His people and take delight in the suffering Savior who has overcome the world.
Like so many things about being a Christian, the secret is having a clear understanding of who Jesus is, what He is like, and what ministry He exercises, and becoming more like Him on a daily basis in all of our relationships.
So writes Sinclair Ferguson in this collection of articles focused on the person and work of Jesus Christ. With a theologian's mind and a pastor's heart, Dr. Ferguson helps believers gain a better understanding of their Savior and Lord, then shows them how to live out the Christian faith from day to day. The fifty short chapters of In Christ Alone are packed full of nuggets of scriptural truth that will spark and fan the flames of the Christian's love for the Savior who is so beautiful in His person and so faithful in His work in behalf of His beloved sheep.
