In an introduction to this reprint, Dr. J.I. Packer describes him as ‘the most outstanding pastor, evangelist and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced’. His ministry transformed the people of Kidderminster from ‘an ignorant, rude and reveling people’ to a godly, worshipping community. These pages, first prepared for a Worcestershire association of ministers in 1656, deal with the means by which such changes are ever to be accomplished. In his fervent plea for the discharge of the spiritual obligations of the ministry, Baxter, in the words of his contemporary, Thomas Manton, ‘came nearer the apostolic writings than any man in the age’. A century later Philip Doddridge wrote, ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Reformed Pasto\u003c\/em\u003er is a most extraordinary book…many good men are but shadows of what (by the blessing of God) they might be, if the maxims and measures laid down in that incomparable Treatise were strenuously pursued’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Baxter’s principles, drawn from Scripture, and reapplied in terms of modern circumstances, will provide both ministers and other Christians with challenge, direction and help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e312 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9781848712119\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.cld.bz\/The-Reformed-Pastor\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Reformed Pastor  Richard Baxter\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8660\/2586\/files\/Read_a_sample_2_c5fc8d3a-4b47-4592-9c1e-6eeb8b8c58db.png?v=1766426485\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42381930725466,"sku":"9781848712119","price":8.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8660\/2586\/files\/reformedpastor-withoutline-416x618.jpg?v=1759712644"},{"product_id":"handful-of-pebbles-barnes-peter","title":"Handful of Pebbles:  Theological Liberalism and the Church","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt first sight in Peter Barnes’ book, \u003cem\u003eA Handful of Pebbles\u003c\/em\u003e, the word ‘liberalism’ does not seem threatening in any way.

The present work deals forthrightly with the hard questions about leading God's people on the local church level.

The true nature of an \"ideal\" church, the proper way of reformation, the danger of the abuse of church discipline and the relationship of authority to individual freedom are some of the topics handled here. Leaders reproduce themselves and put their stamp indelibly upon a congregation. This influence can in turn make or break a church s influence in the world.

He shows that the Bible is clear that Spirit-filled illuminated preaching takes place in two parts: as the preacher studies and meditates upon his biblical text, resulting in personal convictions, and as he then conveys these truths to his hearers, trusting that the Spirit of God will likewise illumine their hearts.\u003cbr\u003eWith the inclusion of testimonies of men such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Owen, and Jonathan Edwards, this book provides a synthesized biblical theology of illumination, focusing on four main categories found in 2 Corinthians 4:1-6: Condemnation, Communication, Conversion, and Convictions.\u003cbr\u003ePreachers who long for illumination during their personal study and preaching will be enriched as they read and apply this scholarly yet pastoral work on the priceless doctrine we call illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/6177\/files\/jeffrey_compact.jpg?4277322187695720373\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeffrey Crotts was raised in a Christian family in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
