 Grace
John G Reisinger, 114 pages.
Market Price:
$18.50
Our Special: $14.80
In this study of generous, biblical, God-given and God-honoring grace John explores three aspects of grace. The first is that grace is an attitude in the heart of God that shows undeserved favour to sinners. Second, grace is a spiritual power that flows from God into a sinner and effects genuine change in that sinner. And, thirdly, grace is the response, in terms of gratitude, worship and service, that flows from those who receive grace. It is our prayer that this book may be used such that many of God's sheep will have their souls fed and will drink deeply from the sweet and refreshing water that flows from the New Covenant in Christ.
"Perhaps the aspect of grace that had its most profound impact on my thinking was Pastor John’s explanation of grace as a spiritual power that flows from God into a sinner and effects genuine change in the heart of that sinner. For the first time, I came to rely on God’s grace (enabling power) in my daily walk, as I desired to grow in Christ and to be like him in thought, word, and deed. I could see the futility of striving to maintain a relationship with Christ through the outward influences of lists of do's and don'ts, even those that are good and right. I came to appreciate, love, and adore Jesus Christ, who is my righteousness and sanctification and redemption (cf. 1 Cor. 1:30)." Jacob Moseley

 Chosen in Eternity
John G Reisinger, 39 pages.
Market Price:
$9.95
Our Special: $7.40
Election is one of the most maligned and misunderstood truths of Scripture. In this important work, Pastor Reisinger demonstrates with great clarity that the doctrine of election is indeed most clearly taught in the Bible. It is taught in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments; it is taught by Peter, Paul and—perhaps to some, surprisingly—Jesus.
John teaches that election is not a doctrine to be feared, but rather one to be embraced and taught so that the people of God might be encouraged to learn that they are “brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 NIV). |

 Our Sovereign God
John G Reisinger, 19 pages.
Market Price:
$6.50
Our Special: $4.95
In this study of our Sovereign God, John leads the reader into an in-depth understanding of just what is meant by and what are the benefits of understanding the truth that our God is sovereign. Many, if not most professing Christians, will concur that, “Sure, God is sovereign!” In many though there may be only a superficial understanding of this truth. John uses the case of Nebuchadnezzar to explore the true meaning of “God is sovereign.”

 The Sovereignty of God in Providence
John G Reisinger, 40 pages.
Market Price:
$9.95
Our Special: $6.00
This book reviews six principles that are basic to the concept of the sovereignty of God in providence that run all the way through the Word of God and under gird its message of salvation.
1. God is always in control of all things and is constantly at work in accomplishing his plan.
2. God controls and uses everyone, even the Devil, in working out his plan.
3. God punishes the people that he uses to accomplish his purposes when they act out of wrong motives.
4. All things are from God, but
5. the devil is the agent of all evil.
6. God has a definite plan and purpose for the world.
It is essential to understand and believe these six principles in order to have a biblical understanding of either God himself or the theology of his sovereign grace. Grasping and applying these truths to your everyday life is the foundation of biblical hope that leads to true joy in the Lord. It is difficult to have a reasonable, hopeful sense of security and a heartfelt assurance while living in our present-day, crazy world without a knowledge and appreciation of the sovereignty of God in providence embodied in these six biblical truths. |

 The New Birth - A Study of Irresistible Grace
John G Reisinger, 28 pages.
Market Price:
$9.95
Our Special: $6.40
John G. Reisinger, well-known and well-loved evangelist, author, and teacher of the Word of God for over fifty years continues his series on the “Doctrines of Grace” with this booklet.“Being born again” and “being saved” are not the same thing. They are two parts of one whole but must not be confused. Both are essential to true conversion. It is impossible to experience one without experiencing the other. The question is not one of time and sequence, that is, which is first and which is second, but rather one of cause and effect. Does our faith cause the new birth or does the new birth cause faith? The question, “Why does one person believe and become saved, while another rejects Christ and is lost?” will be answered differently according to our understanding of the nature of regeneration. In one case, we will attribute the cause of man’s faith to his free will, and in the other case we will give the Holy Spirit the glory for enabling us, by regenerating us, to believe and be saved.

 The Sovereignty of God and Prayer
John G Reisinger, 55 pages.
Market Price:
$9.95
Our Special: $6.50
In the Sovereignty of God and Prayer the author explains what prayer is and what it is not and how it is to operate with an understanding of the Sovereignty of God. He tells us :
"Prayer never makes God my servant to give me everything I think I must have in order to make me happy. Prayer never allows me to either dictate my will to God nor to make God in any way change his mind. God has a fixed plan and his plan is the best plan. God is determined to carry out his plan, and neither our sin nor our ‘believing’ prayers are going to derail or in any way change God’s ultimate decrees (Job 13:13).
True prayer is a frank admission that God is sovereign. When we really pray we admit that the thing is in God’s hands alone. We are saying that tomorrow, with all it brings, is not under our control but under his control. It is in his hands and not in ours. Prayer is a joyful surrender to God’s sovereign purposes. We are acknowledging that God has the right and power to do whatever seems good to him. We are saying that regardless of what God does tomorrow, we know it is part of the “all things” in Romans 8:28.Prayer is earnestly pleading with God for grace to glorify him regardless of what he does. We are really saying, “Father, give me grace to trust you and act like your child whether you say yes or no.” |

 Ministry of Grace
- Essays in Honor of John G. Reisinger
Steve West, Editor. 245 pages.
Market Price:
$24.70
Our Special: $18.10
The contributors to this book have written in appreciation and recognition of the grace of God at work in the life and ministry of John G. Reisinger.
Having been uniquely blessed by Pastor Reisinger’s teaching, each contributor chose a biblical or doctrinal theme to expound upon that reflects one of the areas highlighted in John’s ministry of grace. God’s sovereignty, the new covenant, the doctrines of grace, worship, and the matchless saving work of Jesus Christ are all set forth in this book to the glory of God.
In keeping with John’s ministry, the essays were written to be substantial, but also readable for a wide audience. Two of Pastor John’s popular sermons are included in this book as well. It is hoped and prayed that this book will lead many to marvel at the wonderful grace of God, and to praise the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

Abraham’s Four Seeds is a biblical examination of the presuppositions of
Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism - the two dominant systems of thought

It is the author's desire that this book would be of benefit to those who desire to understand="What does the Scripture say?" May the cry of 'Scripture Alone' have real meaning in the church!

 New Covenant Theology
Tom Wells and Fred Zaspel, 324 pages.
Market Price:
$32.00
Our Special: $19.95
“If there is any hope of a meeting of minds, let alone of a resolution of the issues, it takes time, patience, intellectual humility, a willingness to be corrected, and thoughtful and empathetic listening combined with accurate and understated articulation of each party’s understanding. And those are the values of this book.. . perhaps, in the mercy of God, we will discover, in time, that some genuine steps have been taken toward theological agreement.” D. A. Carson
“Wells does a fine job of analyzing some of the historical and broadly theological issues, while Zaspel concentrates on a careful exegesis of key New Testament texts—especially the pivotal Matthew 5:17-20. The combination is impressive and persuasive . . . Their careful biblical argument needs to be taken into account as the task of reforming our traditions in light of the witness of Scripture goes forward."
From the Foreword by Douglas J. Moo
