Does the Lord Really Guide?
Dr Peter Masters

The great decline of the quality of Bible teaching in the last few decades has brought with it the rejection of this precious and fundamental principle – that God has a specific plan and purpose for the life of each of his children, and that they should seek his direction in all the great issues of life.
Cessationism — Proving Charismatic Gifts have Ceased
Dr Peter Masters

Does the Bible teach definitively that the charismatic gifts have ceased? The ceasing of revelatory and sign-gifts in the time of the apostles is so plainly taught in God’s Word, that the opposite view has only seriously appeared in the last 100 years.
A Spiritual Growth Check
Dr Peter Masters

Growth means dependence upon God, communion with Christ, daily engagement in holiness, prayer and proclamation. We cannot select one or two of these but must engage in all. 'But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen' (2 Peter 3.18)
Keeping the Church Separate from the World
Dr John Gresham Machen

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.


Faith, Doubts, Trials, Assurance

Dr Peter Masters


Ongoing faith is essential for the believer. How can it be strengthened? How should doubts be handled? What is the biblical attitude to trials? How can we tell if troubles are for chastisement or refinement? How can we obtain assurance? Exactly how is the Lord's presence felt?


God or Mammon? The Snare of the Prosperity Gospel

Mr Robin Compston


'Who would have predicted that churches would be infected by blatantly unbiblical teaching which contradicts head-on the tenth commandment, and to which all believers should have an instinctive aversion?' So begins this startling unmasking of the Prosperity Gospel movement's heresies.


Remember the Lord’s Day

Dr Peter Masters


Why was the Sabbath instituted by the Lord? Does it continue as the Lord’s Day? If so, how has it changed with the coming of Christ? How should it be kept? This booklet responds, showing that the sabbath principle is still God’s will for believers today, and listing its purposes and blessings.
