Best Selling Books by R. C. Sproul

Can we know what Jesus was truly like during His time on earth? A first-century physician set out to gather eyewitness testimony of the life, teaching, and ministry of Jesus Christ. The result is a close-up account of a compassionate Savior on His journey to redeem His people. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul traces the record of Jesus'' life as told by Luke, the man considered by some to be one of the greatest historians of the ancient world. Dr. Sproul shows that this gospel is for believers and skeptics alike, written so "that you may have certainty" (Luke 1:4) about the Son of Man who came to seek and save the lost.

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). Dr. Sproul''s expositional commentaries help you understand key theological themes and apply them to all areas of your life. Drawn from decades of careful study and delivered from a pastor''s heart, these sermons are readable, practical, and thoroughly Bible-centered. Here is your opportunity to learn from a trusted teacher and theologian as he leads you through God''s Word and shares his perspective on living faithfully for God''s glory. This is a series to serve pastors, small groups, and growing Christians who want to know the Bible better.

Drawing on Scripture and the testimony of the church''s great thinkers, Sproul looks at the role of God the Holy Spirit within the doctrine of the Trinity.

In this expanded edition of his classic, R. C. Sproul helps us dig out the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. He presents a commonsense approach to studying Scripture and gives eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and application. He lays the groundwork by discussing why we should study the Bible and how our own personal study relates to interpretation.

If you say "nobody''s perfect," likely everyone will agree with you. Feelings of guilt over sin are common. A person may ignore their sense of guilt, rationalize it, or suppress it, but it is there. It points to the fact that all people are objectively guilty before God. So, what do we do with our guilt? In this booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul shows how God can use these feelings to reveal our true guilt. Dr. Sproul then points to the only remedy--the forgiveness that God provides through Jesus Christ. The Crucial Questions booklet series by Dr. R.C. Sproul offers succinct answers to important questions often asked by Christians and thoughtful inquirers.

Jesus encourages us to become like children in order to inherit God''s Kingdom. Childlike faith is not an option. R. C. Sproul Jr. explores in depth what it means to accept Jesus'' invitation to practice a childlike faith. As the father of eight children, R. C. Sproul Jr. watches how his own children approach every day, buoyed by trust, hope, and joy. Through their eyes, the world is fresh and brand-new. Everything is an invitation to express astonishment and wonder at the great gift of life—and, the great Giver. The Call to Wonder is an invitation to rest in childlike joy and peace built on a deep trust in the living God. Like a child, you, too, can rest in God''s almighty arms and gasp at the fireworks of his glory exploding around you every day in his creation.

With honesty, sensitivity, and concern for biblical truth, Sproul addresses the afterlife and the role of suffering in human experience.

In the twentieth century, the doctrine of Scripture became a particular focus of intense criticism. Some of R. C. Sproul''s most significant writings have been on the doctrine of Scripture. Not all this material is in print, and no volume has ever collected his best writings on this pivotal doctrine. Scripture Alone consists of four chapters that originally appeared in symposium volumes edited by others and the author''s commentary on the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. These writings constitute an important restatement of the evangelical doctrine of Scripture. Scripture Alone will help all Christians to stand firm in defense of the truth.

Delivered from a pastor''s heart for his congregation, readers will find this expositional commentary on Matthew to be readable, applicable, appropriately paced, and thoroughly biblical. Part of the St. Andrew''s Expositional Commentary series.

A key figure during the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards wrote this important discourse, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, in 1741, just after the revival had reached its peak. In his thorough exploration of the true and false signs of revival, drawn from 1 John 4, Edwards concludes that while a movement may be accompanied by excesses and questionable actions, these signs do not necessarily disqualify it as authentic. In a refreshing way Edwards embraces a genuine enthusiasm in these manifestations while stressing the need for biblical discernment. His critique is kind and gentle as he points to the true marks of revival: love and humility. In The Spirit of Revival, Parrish makes Edwards''s entire work more accessible by modernizing the text and adding explanatory notes. R. C. Sproul''s extended introduction compares the great theologian''s time to our own, and the preface by Edwards''s contemporary William Cooper rings resoundingly to the people of God today. Edwards''s message provides more than just insight into the Great Awakening. It is a map to follow for all revivals in all times.

Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God''s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don''t quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear." R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

Are you at home in the company of Jesus? Learning to live with Jesus at the centre of our world Luke''s account of the life of Jesus in devotional sections

When our Lord''s disciples came to Him regarding prayer, they did not ask Him to teach them how to pray, but rather they asked Him to teach them to pray. Obviously even those closest to Christ needed to learn to pray. And so do we. Here, some of our best Bible teachers and expositors give us instruction on prayer, from why we should pray, to what prayer is, how it ties in with God''s sovereignty, what it means to pray in Jesus'' name, what it means to hallow God''s name, and why God is to be the focus of our prayers, not ourselves. These, and many other topics, are addressed in this helpful book.

In order to persuade a child to take her bitter-tasting medicine when she is sick, her grandfather tells her a story in which a prince saves the people from sin by drinking from a poisoned fountain.

The book of Romans has been influential in critical moments of the Christian church history. In the early church, Paul''s words in this book were the means of the conversion of Augustine. During the Protestant Reformation they particularly influenced Martin Luther and John Calvin. Later, in the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century, they changed the lives of George Whitefield and John Wesley. But it is not only those who have become leaders in the church who have been affected by the epistle to the Romans. Ordinary Christians, too, have lived transformed lives as a result. People have often turned to the letter to the Church in Rome because Paul clearly sets out a theological framework for us to understand. It is a comprehensive description of the way that God offers salvation to humankind - and it is ''Good News''.

This compact book outlines the controversies and implications of the central debate of the Reformation: justification by faith alone. Luther said that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is "the article upon which the church stands or falls." R.C. Sproul follows Luther''s lead in his concise and compelling work, now repackaged and republished. Justified by Faith Alone surveys the main tenets of the doctrine of justification in Roman Catholicism and evangelicalism. Sproul is careful to accurately represent Catholic beliefs and observes that while both traditions agree that fa.
