A Justice Primer

Christians should know that social justice internet mobs are a far cry from truly Biblical justice that accords with God’s law. But we don’t. Biblical justice requires multiple witnesses, matching stories, and objective facts considered by an appropriate authority.

A Justice Primer is written by two longtime pastors who have worked inside denominations, sessions, and institutions, and who have seen more than their share of controversy where people do not know what the rules are. A whispered conversation is not authoritative. An anonymous comment on a blog is not authoritative. A party of disgruntled church members who “feel abused” is not authoritative. Instead, the key to true justice is due process conducted by wise men who know how to weigh evidence.

God is justice, and it is because of His justice that Jesus went to the cross. Therefore, we must care about what justice is and how God says to pursue it.

A Primer on Worship and Reformation

You Say You Want a Reformation?

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

It is no secret that our world desperately needs change. Politicians know this and use it to collect votes. Journalists exploit it to sell newspapers and magazines. Advertisers, to sell everything else. Each of these groups (and countless others) spend their lives working to convince others that they hold the key to a better country, a better life, a better future.

But what exactly is this change we all long for? And how can it ever come about? A Primer on Worship and Reformation proposes that true change begins, not with a process or an idea, but through faithful worship. To witness true global change—true reformation—we must first pray the Lord that we would see worship at the center of life. The truth is that when the Word is faithfully preached, even the gates of hell tremble. When the Psalms are sung, the meek inherit the earth. When the church celebrates at the Lord's Table, those who mourn are comforted.

If we learn these lessons and believe them to be true, we will find that through renewed worship God brings change to every facet of our lives.

 

The Amazing Doctor Ransom's Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies

The Field Guide for Clear Thinkers

Stymied and stumped by arguments that wrap around you like webs of mystification?

Dr. Ransom's Bestiary is perfect for supplementing any logic curriculum, from junior high to college, or for adults who want to learn more about logic! This book is filled with illustrations, descriptions, exercises, and analysis to help you identify and avoid fallacies you might encounter in everyday life.

Fifty informal fallacies belong to families—fallacies of distraction, ambiguity, form, and "millennial fallacies"—and each one has names, nicknames, and a sketch of its adorable, harmless mode and its true feral face. Get the practice you need to identify the little stinkers wherever they might appear using flashcards for all 50 fallacies.

Each fallacy is followed by discussion questions and exercises; a line-listed answer key and both one and two-semester schedules are included in the back of the book.

 

A Serrated Edge

Christians think that making fun of people is never okay. If so, then why did Jesus and the prophets do so much of it?

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

Satire is a kind of preaching. Satire pervades Scripture. Satire treats the foibles of sinners with a less than perfect tenderness. But if a Christian employs satire today, he is almost immediately called to account for his "insensitive" and "unloving" behavior. But is the Golden Rule really "be nice"? Actually, Scripture shows that the central point of some religious controversies is to give offense. When Christ was confronted with ecclesiastical obstinacy and other forms of arrogance, He showed us a godly pattern for giving offense.

In every controversy godliness and wisdom (or the lack of them) are to be determined by careful appeal to the Scriptures and not the fact of people having taken offense. In this book, veteran satirist Douglas Wilson explains his rationale for why so much of what he says gets people upset and yet he continues to speak as he does, and why you should (sometimes) too for the sake of the Gospel.

Gashmu Saith It: How to Built Christian Communities That Save the World

"When Nehemiah was leading the Jews in their project of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, the enemies of Israel mocked them and said, “It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words” (Neh. 6:6).

Today we see a culture that is increasingly hostile to Christians, and Christians are increasingly aware that they need to form strong communities to do for them what the culture no longer can. This is a good  thing, but it will only work if like Nehemiah and his men we are committed to resisting the dictates of our culture. If we are at all afraid of looking like the crazy fundamentalists that our culture loves to hate, then our communities will be as easily led by the culture as anybody else.

In this short book, Pastor Douglas Wilson describes some of the most important ways to create and maintain counter-cultural Christian communities. Whether he is talking about the need for kids to get calluses or for love and loyalty within churches, Douglas Wilson brings decades of on-the-ground wisdom and experience to the topic.

A city without walls is not really a city; neither is a city without a church at the center. Get busy. Build the walls, fight sin, love your family and church, and live out the Gospel."

Awesome illustrations, great values/lessons. Kinda short in length though.

Covenantal Catechism, Book 1

My 6yo girl LOVES this book!

From the day it arrived, we have enjoyed this story. Beautiful artwork, engaging text, GREAT story.

Chemistry 1 (Charter Edition)

Crispin's Rainy Day

Amazing book for kids who love pictures

My kids just open the book and stare at the pictures! I enjoy them just as much, the incredible detail in every single one, is just fantastic. My toddler has the first pages memorized already! We love this book as a family and it has already been well loved and I hope it is for generations to come 🥰

This book was tremendously insightful! I bought a copy to pass along, because it was such a blessing to me!

These books I bought are my three year olds favorite books now.

Great book and illustrations

Great art and a great story on our aging courage and getting along with your siblings, would highly recommend!

An excellent collection of songs worth singing

What a delight to see all of this great musical treasure I’ve been ignorant of for most of my life! I’ve only just started going through the music, but it has been encouraging and fun to see how saints from the past (and present) have been flexing their creative muscle to help us find the right tunes and lyrics to praise our great God. And a Psalter! What better way to “store up Thy word in my heart”?

What a fun adventure!!!

I bought this book for my youngest son and daughter! They loved it! My son enjoys reading it to himself (he just learned to read)! It is very well written and inspiring!

Required Reading

Read it. You are required to. Don’t believe me? Read it and find out.

Great intro into the subject.

Well who the heck is Gashmu?! His option doesn’t matter, this book clarifies that and serves to whet the appetite of those interested in building New Christendom. Easy quick read. Do it.

Nothing Short of a Masterpiece

This book is an absolute gem. We've only had it in our home for about a week, but it has instantly become our favorite go-to storybook we read night after night. It's a mark of its quality that neither my children (nor I!) have gotten even the slightest bit sick of it after 20+ reads. My children are ages 4-8, boys and girls, and they all love it.

The art is simply stunning, with so many little details to look at on every page. Every single picture is like its own art piece I would want to hang on my wall, and each is so captivating and tells an entire story in and of itself.

The writing doesn't slouch, either. Every phrase and rhyme is carefully crafted and is a delight to read aloud, while moving the story forward at just the right pace. The story is neither too long nor too short. You might say it is the perfect pace and the perfect length. It's satisfying, but it doesn't overstay its welcome. I particularly love one spread of pages in which Forrest (the author and illustrator) uses the lightning sound effects on the page as part of the rhyme scheme with the narration. It's just simply *chef's kiss*

This book is an absolute classic that I plan on passing down to my grandchildren and hopefully their grandchildren. As Forrest Dickison's first complete work of his own (as both author and illustrator) I would say he simply smashed it right out of the park, and I can't wait to see what's next. Don't hesitate. BUY THIS BOOK!

Delightful Story, Words and Pictures

My entire family loved this book. The art is fantastic, the language is rich, and the story (and "moral") are just fantastic. We especially loved the expressions on the Cranky Danky Dragon throughout. It's such a satisfying (and edifying) read!

Hello Ninja (w/ slight imperfections)

Awesome book

Gave this to my son for his fifth birthday. Great story! Lots of teachable lessons in this one. Forrest’s artwork in here is top notch as well.

Fantastic

To the Church in Rome: A Commentary on Paul's Greatest Epistle

Very well written!

This book fits its purpose well! It should be one of many that a curious Christian reads while investigating the Biblical merits of infant baptism and presents arguments often overlooked or forgotten in more comprehensive takes. Extremely grateful for Pastor Wilson’s insights from Scripture!

Great informative book

I bought this book for my sister, and she enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. She would recommend it for all young Reformed Christian Women. Feminists could learn a lot.
