New Releases by Kevin DeYoung

Explaining key concepts like kingdom, gospel and social justice, this book helps us think carefully about what the church is sent into the world to do. Looking at the Bible''s teaching, it explores the what, why, and how of the church''s mission.

Christians love to celebrate grace, but often talk about it in vague generalities. But such an important biblical concept ought to be clearly defined so it can be consistently defended. In this book, best-selling author Kevin DeYoung points modern readers back to an old document originally written to do just that. Warmly pastoral and broadly accessible, this book introduces readers to the Canons of Dort, a 17th-century work summarizing the central doctrines of the Christian faith. Widely regarded as a key pillar of the Reformed tradition, the Canons of Dort stand as a faithful witness to God''s grace—offering a depth of understanding that the church still needs today. In three concise sections—covering history, theology, and practical application—DeYoung explores what led to the Canons and why they were needed, the five important doctrines that they explain, and Dort''s place in the Reformed tradition today.

Several of us at 9Marks recently spent a long afternoon with a wise old friend talking about the conversation evangelicals are having about the mission of the church. There are two basic mistakes people keep making in this conversation, said our friendly sage. On the one hand, some people pit good things against one another-bodies versus souls, this world versus the next, and so forth. This group needs to view human beings whole cloth.On the other hand, some people fail to hold up eternal and temporal realities next to one another and ask which is more important. Everything is crammed under the label "equally important." But that doesn''t make sense. We need to treat the weighty things as weighty, and the weightiest things as the weightiest.Notice then what our friend was doing: he was avoiding the "either/or" as well as a simplistic "both/and." He was instead going for what Tim Keller, refer-ring to the relationship between evangelism and social justice, calls an "inseparable asymmetry." Things can be stuck together, but still differ greatly in their importance.Whatever you might think about our friend''s counsel, the conversation about the church''s mission is difficult, which is why we are devoting this Journal to reviewing the books on the topic. That way, you don''t have to just hear from us, but from people who have thought about these issues longer and more carefully than we have.

It has been five hundred years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the All Saints'' Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Luther''s theses called for the reform of the church and served as the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. Its impact is still felt today. This Bible study examines the five core truths that came from the Reformation, now referred to as the solas. Group members will explore these essential convictions of the faith and emerge more immersed in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The solas include: Sola Scriptura (by Scripture alone) Sola gratia (by grace alone) Sola fide (through faith alone) Solus Christus (through Christ alone) Soli Deo gloria (glory to God alone) How is the Reformation still relevant today? As political pressure mounts, morality drifts with today''s culture, and evangelicalism becomes more and more refined in a post-Christian world, it''s even more important to hold the convictions of the great Reformation closer than ever. In short, the solas point us to vibrant Christian community as well as personal identity in Christ. As you''ll see in this study, the solas are more than cold Latin terms that academics throw around in church-history books. The five solas, like the Reformation itself, are intensely practical. They were the DNA of the Reformation and are still the DNA of the church today. They are grounded in a real-life, everyday following of Jesus. They''re the most important, basic scriptural truths you can ever believe. We stand on the shoulders of Christians in the past, and knowing where we came from will help us keep moving forward with passion and biblical clarity. Echoes of the Reformation Bible Study Book includes small-group experiences for six sessions, individual study opportunities, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," and tips for leading a group. Features: - Biblically rooted and gospel-centered content - Six small-group sessions that include an introductory session and application of the five solas - Individual study opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth - Group and personal components Benefits: - Give group members a better understanding of the Reformation''s impact on today''s church. - Understand the weighty importance of the inspired Word of God. - Help group members discern the theological nuances of grace and its role in the life of a disciple. - Enhance a believer''s understanding of the biblical and historical depth of the Christian faith. - Realize that Christ alone provides all life''s answers. - Show group members how to live life for the glory of God and renew their commitment to this biblical mandate.

The earliest Christians had the privilege of bearing the name of Jesus Christ to enemies of the gospel. They were residents of the Roman Republic, but also citizens of heaven. They were persecuted for their faith, but were unashamed of the gospel. They knew him whom they believed and were persuaded he was able to deliver them from evil. Fast-forward twenty centuries. Spiritual temperatures are again dropping. These citizens of heaven are now resident throughout the world, and are being granted the privilege of the early saints. As nations grow ever more hostile to Christ and his followers, Jesus summons those who bear his name to be unashamed. He is the only hope of salvation for all who repent and believe. In Unashamed of the Gospel, authors Matt Chandler, R. Albert Mohler Jr., John MacArthur, Thabiti Anyabwile, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, J. Ligon Duncan III, John Piper, and David Platt come together for the gospel to encourage Christians with Paul''s pastoral plea to Timothy: "do not be ashamed about the testimony of our Lord" (2 Timothy 1:8).

A brecha em nossa santidade é a tendência de não darmos muita importância ao assunto da santidade ou, pelo menos, de não a compreendermos biblicamente. Mas temos nossos motivos: Talvez a busca pela santidade pareça ser algo pouco espiritual, ou, quem sabe, você esteja tentando ser santo mas não está dando conta. Qualquer que seja o caso, o problema é claro: poucos cristãos parecem-se com Cristo e muitos parecem não estar preocupados com isso.Este livro é para aqueles que estão prontos para levar a santidade a sério e buscar ser mais parecido com Jesus. Este livro fala do poder de Deus para ajudar-nos a crescer em nossa santidade pessoal e a nos alegrarmos no processo de nossa própria transformação.

These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. In the new Old Testament volumes, the commentary on each section of the text is structured under three headings: Context, Comment and Meaning. The goal is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain. THE SONG OF SONGS This Old Testament book, ''the best of songs'', has fascinated and perplexed interpreters for centuries. We hear the passionate melody of romantic love, and are confronted by erotic imagery - but whose love is described? Is it a couple''s love for each other, God''s love for his people, or a poem that speaks to love in all its dimensions? Iain Duguid''s commentary explains how the Song is designed to show us an idealized picture of married love, in the context of a fallen and broken world. It also convicts us of how far short of this perfection we fall, both as humans and as lovers, and drives us repeatedly into the arms of our true heavenly husband, Jesus Christ.

OVER 300,000 COPIES SOLD! Why won’t God reveal his special will for my life already? Because he doesn’t intend to... So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way. Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what’s next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what’s now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else’s: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering. With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God’s will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God’s will in Scripture and then simply doing it. This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God’s Word. It’s a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.

The hole in our holiness is that we don''t care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don''t understand it. And we all have our reasons too: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic. Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you''ve been trying really hard to be holy and it''s just not working! Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don''t seem all that concerned about it. This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God''s power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.

Que veut dire etre saint ? Pourquoi devrions-nous nous en soucier ? Comment pouvons-nous changer ? La faille qui est exposee dans ce livre, c''est que nous nous soucions trop peu de la saintete ou que nous ne la comprenons pas assez pour lui accorder la place qu''elle devrait avoir dans notre vie. Malheureusement, un trop grand nombre de chretiens ne semblent pas tres preoccupes par cela. Kevin DeYoung nous rappelle les nombreuses exhortations de la Parole a rechercher la saintete. Il ramene une verite a la fois impopulaire et liberatrice a la surface, la verite que Dieu est saint et qu''il veut que nous le soyons aussi. Sans pression ni legalisme, DeYoung partage une vision belle et equilibree de la loi et de la grace. En presentant la beaute et la puissance de notre saintete, il transmet au lecteur, non seulement le desir d''etre saint, mais aussi l''espoir de le devenir.

Winner of the 2014 Christian Book of the Year Award "I''M TOO BUSY!" We''ve all heard it. We''ve all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us. Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all. That''s why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots. Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to "busyness as usual."

A few years into his current pastoral role, Kevin DeYoung was faced with a church that needed to replace its well-worn pew Bibles. DeYoung wrote to his congregation, outlining seven reasons why he preferred the English Standard Version (ESV) and was proposing its adoption. Among his top reasons for switching to the ESV DeYoung noted its essentially literal translation philosophy, avoidance of over- and under-translation, consistency in translating important Greek and Hebrew words, and retention of important literary features. DeYoung''s letter has been newly edited and put into booklet form. Sold individually or in packs of ten, Why Our Church Switched to the ESV is an excellent tool for pastors or lay leaders seeking to learn more about the English Standard Version.

"You can be young, passionate about Jesus Christ, surrounded by diversity, engaged in a postmodern world, reared in evangelicalism and not be an emergent Christian. In fact, I want to argue that it would be better if you weren''t." The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today''s Christian community. And they''re talking about good things: caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus. They''re doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold. Again, all good. But there''s more to the movement than that. Much more. Kevin and Ted are two guys who, demographically, should be all over this movement. But they''re not. And Why We''re Not Emergent gives you the solid reasons why. From both a theological and an on-the-street perspective, Kevin and Ted diagnose the emerging church. They pull apart interviews, articles, books, and blogs, helping you see for yourself what it''s all about.
