"'When an old man dies, a library is burned.' That old African adage reminds us that what we leave unrecorded will one day be lost forever. As believers, the most important thing we can share with the world is the testimony of our remarkable experience with God's grace."

The whole Bible is focused on Jesus, from Genesis to Revelation; yet it is sometimes preached as if its sole purpose is to be a handbook for daily living, a guide for a happy marriage or for successful child-rearing. While it is right to look to God's Word for principles and insights regarding these practical issues, we must also see within its pages the fresh revelation of the person of God's unique Son, Jesus Christ.

The Glory of Christ challenges and guides readers in doing just that. Chapters are drawn from sessions given at the "Solus Christus: Rediscovering the Wonder of Christ's Glory" conference, presented by Reformation and Revival Ministries. Contributors include John Armstrong, Jim Elliff, R. Albert Mohler, Jr., and J. I. Packer. The authors believe that true revival will come only when we as God's people return to the centrality of Jesus Christ. "Recovering the wonders of Christ alone is not merely an antiquated slogan of the 16th-century Reformation," declares this book. "It is the flame which will ignite a new reformation today."

A Foundation for Life will help the reader learn the basic teaching of the Bible's most important doctrines. Godly men wrote this book, putting it in plain, easy-to-understand language. It is useful not only for personal study, but the brief chapters are outlined so well that the material is easily adaptable to group usage also.

"I warmly commend this volume to anyone who wants to grow in his or her understanding of God's Word." - Donald S. Whitney, Associate Professor of Spiritual Formation, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

"It reflects but does not parade rigorous scholarship. It engages the controversies. The coverage is excellent." - Mark Coppenger, Pastor of Evanston Baptist Church, Illinois.

This book is specifically designed for new believers and to provide a teaching format for Christian leaders. It was originally requested by leaders in China.

The focus of the Bible is not successful living. It's not successful churches. It's not family or co-dependency or self-esteem. It is Christ. Yet Sunday after Sunday, millions of Americans sit and listen to "therapeutic" or market-driven preaching. They hear sermons aimed at resolving emotional needs or attracting the seeker. They walk away inspired to solve their problems or to consult their Bibles a little more often, perhaps, but they never see Christ. They miss the Christ whose life, death, and resurrection affect every aspect of their existence. They need the King of Glory--and preaching centered solely on Christ that recaptures the wonder of His holiness.

But preaching with such an emphasis requires and understanding of the nature of pastoral ministry in the postmodern age. With current fads robbing Christ of His glory, training yourself to be discerning in the face of the techniques and methods suggested for the church today is a must. You can then sift them through the sieve of Scripture and reform anything that diminishes Christ.

These writings by working pastors will challenge you to do just that. They will encourage you to focus thoroughly on Christ in your ministry so that the glory of Him and Him alone is what draws believers and unbelievers to the throne of God.(From the cover of Reforming Pastoral Ministry)
