A Death to Life Experience
"/>When Christ healed a paralysed man, He first pronounced that his sins were forgiven. To prove that He had power to forgive, He then healed the body, giving life where all had been limp and motionless; illustrating the changes in conversion to Christ.

Christ Revealed in the Heart
"/>To prove that his Gospel was not a human product, Paul points to his Jewish training and zealotry. He did not comprehend the gospel until Christ was revealed in him. Here is the meaning, and how Christ should be seen by us daily.

The Unstable Peace of Life
"/>Surely nothing is more tragic than to believe life is peaceful and secure without God, only to discover one day that one faces eternal disaster. Here is the false peace that imprisons us in this material world and keeps us from seeking and finding the Lord.

Worship or Entertainment?
Dr Peter Masters
Where will your church be five or ten years from now? With the adoption of contemporary worship, many have changed beyond recognition. This is one of the most important issues confronting Bible churches today, and here is why.
Everyone Has Special Gifts
Dr Peter Masters
When we speak of 'gifts' we sometimes think only of the miraculous sign-gifts of the early church. The gifts of which Paul and Peter speak obviously go beyond these, and include ‘natural’ abilities (often increased and refined by God at the time of conversion). It is obvious that our gifts must be dedicated to God's service and employed in the church.
The Cup of Blessing
Dr Peter Masters
Why is it called the cup of blessing? It is the cup so well spoken of, so praised, and so esteemed, because it pictures the source of all our blessings. So much is represented in that cup: the atoning substitutionary death of Christ for our sin; his indescribable suffering bearing the eternal weight of punishment that we deserved.
Keeping the Church Separate from the World
Dr John Gresham Machen
‘..if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?' In these words our Lord established at the beginning the distinctness and separateness of the church. If the sharp distinction is ever broken down between the church and the world, then the power of the church is gone.

The Charismatic Illusion
Peter Masters and John Whitcomb
Now with more answers to questions asked by people investigating the arguments, this veteran book contends for the biblical position on the gifts that prevailed for nearly 2,000 years before the charismatic movement came along. Here is the dynamic teaching of the Spirit that sustained true believers through dark and bright years of history.
Missionary Triumph over Slavery
Dr Peter Masters
We are told today that Christian missionaries of the past were tools of colonial oppression. The story of William Knibb shows how wildly wrong this is. Persecuted by British rulers in Jamaica because he opposed settlers’ abuses, he was pivotal in swinging public opinion behind legislation to end slavery.
The New Calvinists
Dr E.S. Williams
Satan's major strategy is the infiltration and overthrow of the church by the world; worldliness now threatens every believer and church. This book reveals the new 'gospel' of the so-called 'New Calvinism' - a gospel that changes the terms of salvation, and that loves the world and embraces its culture.
Earth’s Morning
Dr Peter Masters
Few things are so surrounded by ignorance and misunderstanding as the remarkable biblical account of the Garden of Eden. In this booklet the meaning and application of Eden is movingly unfolded for the help of those enquiring into faith. The author seeks to bring out the uncanny accuracy of this alleged ‘fairy tale’.
