The Excellent Benjamin Keach

The Excellent Benjamin Keach: This book is a study of the life and thought of Benjamin Keach (1640-1704), one of the most important Baptist thinkers of his day. Keach's fame is usually based on two things: his sufferings as a twenty-four year old preacher when he was pilloried in his native Buckinghamshire in 1664; and when he introduced hymn singing into congregational worship in the latter part of the seventeenth century. This biography shows that Keach's significance far exceeds these two items. Drawing on almost all of Keach's available writings and exploring the ministry and character of this man of God, it is evident why the term "excellent" many be justly applied to his name. read on

A Portrait of Paul

A Portrait of Paul: What does a true pastor look like, and what constitutes a faithful ministry? How can we identify the life and labors of one called by God to serve in the church of Jesus Christ? To address these questions, Rob Ventura and Jeremy Walker examine how the apostle Paul describes his pastoral relation to the people of God in Colossians 1:24–2:5. By discussing these essential attitudes, qualities, and characteristics of a faithful minister of Christ, A Portrait of Paul provides gospel ministers an example of what they should be, and demonstrates for churches the kind of pastors they will seek if they desire men after God’s own heart. read on..(also shows endorsements)
