Win the New Biography of John MacArthur!

Banner of Truth recently announced that Iain Murray’s next book, a biography, will be titled John MacArthur: Servant of the Word and Flock. Murray has previously authored highly-praised biographies of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Jonathan Edwards, John Murray, and others.
I have had the opportunity to read John MacArthur and enjoyed it tremendously. Though by Murray’s own admission it is unlikely to prove the definitive biography of MacArthur (and really, how can any biography be definitive while the subject is still alive?), it is well-written and very informative as it describes the life and ministry of a faithful preacher of God’s Word. You can read more about it at Banner of Truth’s web site.
This biography will be available at the end of the month. But I have access to 5 early copies and would love to give you the opportunity to win them. At the same time I am going to test out some new software that may make giveaways just a little bit more entertaining. Or maybe not. But we’ll try it. This software will give you multiple opportunities to enter the draw—by “liking” this post on Facebook, by tweeting about it, by joining my Facebook page, by referring friends, and so on.
So go ahead and enter. Let’s give away some books and give this software a test drive.
Note: for this one you’ll need to have a Facebook account. Follow the steps (it’s all safe) and you’ll be entered. From there you can get extra votes.

Favorite MacArthur book? Ashamed of the Gospel, definitely.
I have actually never read a book by John MacArthur. :(
My favourite recent book is “The Jesus you can’t ignore” :)
Favorite MacArthur book is “Ashamed of the Gospel.”
I have to admit, being Dutch I never read abook by him. This would be a great start!
I hate giveaways keyed on FB. I sure hope you go back to a traditional entry method.
But they are your books, so you can do it however you wish.
There are many favorites. I brought “The Gospel According to Jesus” with me to Kuwait.
Our Sufficiency in Christ is my favorite as it carefully and biblically points out the flaws of secular and so-called Christian counseling that integrates secular theory. A masterful job of accurately presenting Psalm 19:7 and keeping our focus on Christ and His Word. MacArthur applies himself responsibly to the text and then the text to himself.
The MacArthur Study Bible has always been very helpful!
A Tale of Two Sons
Tough call, and there are a bunch of MacArthur’s books I haven’t read (yet), but I’m going with “A Tale of Two Sons”
The Jesus You Can’t Ignore
I do have number of his commentary and enjoy them. Right now, I can think both The Murder of Jesus and God in the Manger does help me to understand more.
Hungry to eat His Word,’Guerite ~ BoldLion (My name on the facebook is Marguerite Harrell)
Hard to Believe.
The Vanishing Conscience takes my vote for favorite book by John MacArthur.
The Gospel According to Jesus
Rediscovering Expository Preaching
Ashamed of the Gospel.
The Truth War
But Ashamed of the Gospel is equally powerful for me.
The only MacArthur book I’ve read in its entirety is Truth War, but it was influential in my wrestling with the Emergent Church.
I can’t really choose a favorite, but I”ll say Charismatic Chaos because it was my introduction to the books of John MacArthur.
Truth Wars or Charismatic Crisis.
The Hard Truth
The Gospel According to Jesus
The Gospel According to Jesus.
Full size book: The Truth War
Small book: Why One Way?
Twelve Ordinary Men
The Gospel According to Jesus
Ashamed of the Gospel
John MacArthur study bible and his commentaries.
My favorite book by John MacArthur is Slave.
A Tale of Two Sons (but there are so many I haven’t read)
John MacArthur Study Bible
We were fortunate enough to attend Grace Community, where John pastors, from ‘75 to ‘87. I have been getting his books and sermons on my iPod ever since then - and to pick a favorite is really difficult. I have all 3 of his study Bibles, and all of his commentaries (on Logos), but if I was to HAVE to say a favorite book: it is a toss up between”The Gospel According To Jesus” and “Truth Matters.” Sorry, just can’t pick one.
Gospel According to Jesus
So far, my favorite book by John MacArthur is How to Get the Most from God’s Word.
My favorite MacArthur book is, “Tale of Two Sons”.
The Gospel According to Jesus
Found: God’s Will
Battle for the Beginning
Ashamed of the Gospel
Ashamed of the Gospel
My favorite is his study Bible. What a treasure.
My favorite J-Mac book has been The Murder Of Jesus for a long time.
We have just about all of MacArthur’s books, and it’s very difficult to single out one favorite, but I’ll go with Tale of Two Sons.
The Believer’s Armor brought Ephesians 6 to life for me.
The Truth War is my favorite by MacArthur. I’m glad that he’s not afraid or ashamed to defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Ashamed of the Gospel without a doubt.
I haven’t read any MacArthur yet. Must admit that I’ve met too many MacArthurites who put more emphasis in the teacher than the one he teaches about. That’s why I think this is a great place for me to start.
