"The bush was burning, yet it was not consumed" How can an unholy people stand before a holy God? Who is God, and what is His relationship to His creation? And how can we know Him? In Exodus 3, Moses saw a bush that was burning yet was not consumed by the flames. When he turned to look at it, God gave him one of the most profound theology lessons recorded in the Bible. There, God revealed Himself in a remarkable way, and as Dr. R.C. Sproul writes, His revelation in the burning bush continues to have relevance for Christians today.

A combination of four power-packed books by noted theologian R. C. Sproul, this book offers theologically sound advice. It challenges readers to a deeper understanding of what it means to be mature followers of Jesus.

In the twentieth century, the doctrine of Scripture became a particular focus of intense criticism. Some of R. C. Sproul''s most significant writings have been on the doctrine of Scripture. Not all this material is in print, and no volume has ever collected his best writings on this pivotal doctrine. Scripture Alone consists of four chapters that originally appeared in symposium volumes edited by others and the author''s commentary on the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. These writings constitute an important restatement of the evangelical doctrine of Scripture. Scripture Alone will help all Christians to stand firm in defense of the truth.

The first volume, covering chapters 18 of the Confession, explains what we need to understand about Holy Scripture, God and the Trinity, his decree, creation, providence, the fall into sin, God''s covenant, and Christ the Mediator. Every discussion is geared toward bringing us to a deeper knowledge of and greater love for the doctrines of grace set forth in God''s Word. The second volume, covering chapters 9-22 of the Confession, explains the doctrines of free will, effectual calling, justification, adoption, sanctification, faith, repentance, good works, perseverance, assurance, God''s law, Christian liberty, the Sabbath, and oaths. The third (and final) volume, covering chapters 23-33 of the Confession, treats the civil magistrate, marriage and divorce, the church and communion of the saints, baptism and the Lord''s Supper, church government, and the final judgment and afterlife. Also included are indexes to the three volumes. - Publisher.

Jesus encourages us to become like children in order to inherit God''s Kingdom. Childlike faith is not an option. R. C. Sproul Jr. explores in depth what it means to accept Jesus'' invitation to practice a childlike faith. As the father of eight children, R. C. Sproul Jr. watches how his own children approach every day, buoyed by trust, hope, and joy. Through their eyes, the world is fresh and brand-new. Everything is an invitation to express astonishment and wonder at the great gift of life—and, the great Giver. The Call to Wonder is an invitation to rest in childlike joy and peace built on a deep trust in the living God. Like a child, you, too, can rest in God''s almighty arms and gasp at the fireworks of his glory exploding around you every day in his creation.

Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God''s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don''t quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear." R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

Sproul expounds the book of Romans Theological framework for the Christian faith

The Bible teaches us to pray without ceasing, but many Christians struggle with prayer. Is there a right way to pray? How should we address a holy God? Does prayer really change things? Even Jesus'' disciples understood there was something lacking in their prayer life after they observed Jesus in prayer. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He gave them a model of prayer as an example to follow in communing with God. In The Prayer of the Lord, Dr. R.C. Sproul helps us understand how to pray according to the pattern Jesus set for us. Each chapter focuses on a single line of the Lord''s Prayer, shedding light on God''s holiness and our need to humbly depend on Him. Dr. Sproul reminds us that as adopted children of God, we have an unspeakable privilege in prayer--to call upon our heavenly Father.

Bestselling Bible teacher R.C. Sproul explores the way God governs the universe while neither creating human wickedness nor destroying human freedom. The hardcover version of "The Invisible Hand" sold more than 20,000 copies.

When our Lord''s disciples came to Him regarding prayer, they did not ask Him to teach them how to pray, but rather they asked Him to teach them to pray. Obviously even those closest to Christ needed to learn to pray. And so do we. Here, some of our best Bible teachers and expositors give us instruction on prayer, from why we should pray, to what prayer is, how it ties in with God''s sovereignty, what it means to pray in Jesus'' name, what it means to hallow God''s name, and why God is to be the focus of our prayers, not ourselves. These, and many other topics, are addressed in this helpful book.

A key figure during the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards wrote this important discourse, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, in 1741, just after the revival had reached its peak. In his thorough exploration of the true and false signs of revival, drawn from 1 John 4, Edwards concludes that while a movement may be accompanied by excesses and questionable actions, these signs do not necessarily disqualify it as authentic. In a refreshing way Edwards embraces a genuine enthusiasm in these manifestations while stressing the need for biblical discernment. His critique is kind and gentle as he points to the true marks of revival: love and humility. In The Spirit of Revival, Parrish makes Edwards''s entire work more accessible by modernizing the text and adding explanatory notes. R. C. Sproul''s extended introduction compares the great theologian''s time to our own, and the preface by Edwards''s contemporary William Cooper rings resoundingly to the people of God today. Edwards''s message provides more than just insight into the Great Awakening. It is a map to follow for all revivals in all times.
