On this episode we discuss Gary Steward's new book Reforming Culture: J.W. Alexander's Christian Approach to Social Reform
How should we address the social ills in our culture? How should we respond to the social and economic inequalities around us? James W. Alexander (1804–1859) thought deeply about these problems and wrote extensively about how these issues might be addressed from a Christian perspective. Alexander’s thoughts on government, economics, education, and race continue to be relevant for our own day. While the complexion of our social ills may have changed, the solution to needs of our culture have largely remained the same.

On this episode we talked with Dr. Jonathan Griffiths about his new book Living by Faith in Turbulent Times
How are we to live in these turbulent days? What will it look like to navigate the present crisis and its aftermath as followers of Jesus Christ? Living by Faith in Turbulent Times tackles these timely questions by taking us deep into the Bible’s most famous passage on the nature of authentic faith, Hebrews 11. As we look to God’s never-changing word for guidance and help for today, we find rich encouragement from key models of faith—men and women who walked with God and trusted his promises through fearful and challenging days. This new resource will not only strengthen followers of Jesus to walk by faith, but introduce others to the God who can be trusted in turbulent times.

Chapter 1, device 2 from Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies against Satan's Devices, edited and read by Christopher Ellis Osterbrock.

Endorsements:
“Thomas Brooks (well, his book Precious Remedies) has been a companion to me for half my life. He has helped my soul and my preaching. My multiple copies of this classic have fallen apart over and again from use. No wonder Spurgeon loved to quote this preacher. He can turn a phrase and get to the heart of the matter. If this new edition helps gets Brooks’ biblical counsel into the hearts and lives of more Christians today, I for one will rejoice. Brooks will explain to you why every believer must study what he calls four prime things: Christ, the Scripture, your own hearts, and Satan’s devices. And he’ll show you how to do that. If you let him. So take some advice from an old friend: let him.”
—Ligon Duncan, John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
“I am often asked where to begin with reading the Puritans. I can’t think of a better place to begin than with Thomas Brooks’ Precious Remedies. Readers will find Brooks surprisingly easy to read and be challenged by insights that transcend the centuries. I’m thankful to see his work available in this wonderful new edition.”
—Tim Challies, Author and Blogger (www.challies.com)
“Thomas Brooks’s classic on defeating Satan’s temptations is full of sound, biblical, practical advice and is much needed today, for Christians remain ever in need of hearing our Lord’s admonition, ‘Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation’ (Matt. 26:41). Brooks describes twelve of Satan’s devices and their remedies, then focuses on eight devices Satan uses to keep believers from using the means of grace properly and again provides remedies. Though Satan’s tools may change over the centuries, his devices remain constant; hence, this classic will never be outdated. If you truly desire to grow in grace and spiritual watchfulness and readiness, read this book.”
— Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
“Christopher Ellis Osterbrock has blessed the church with a gift. Church Historians will find Osterbrock’s footnotes impressive. His edit also enables contemporary Christians to engage this Puritan classic. Thomas Brooks’ Precious Remedies remains the best work on how to battle against the Devil’s lies. It is filled with biblical truth explained with practical pastoral wisdom. Osterbrock should be commended for this readable volume. You hold in your hand an explanation of God’s Word that will guide you through the enemy’s temptations and snares.”
