Free Stuff Fridays

Alone with God: Rediscovering the Power and Passion of Prayer (Paperback) by Dr. John MacArthur

A great champion of prayer once compared the praying Christian to a blacksmith stoking his fire. It’s in the intimacy of prayer—when we’re alone with God—that we keep the iron hot and God skillfully refines and shapes us. And like the blacksmith trade, prayer is not for those timid of work. Intercession is a difficult, perplexing, and solitary battle that is won or lost from one moment to the next.

But, the battle to pray is worth fighting. Prayer anchors the soul while lifting us to the very throne of God. It’s the language of heaven and the key to unleashing God’s power in our lives. In Alone with God, John MacArthur explores the anatomy of effective prayer and presents a refreshing, biblical model you can begin following today. A powerful tool for greater fervency and frequency in your communion with the Lord, Alone with God is the primer on prayer you’ll turn to again and again!

This book comes with a study guide in the back of the book.

Biblical Doctrine: A Systematic Summary of Bible Truth (Hardcover) by Dr. John MacArthur & Dr. Richard Mayhue

Biblical Doctrine John MacArthur

Doctrine isn’t just for theologians—it’s important for every Christian because it shows us who God is and how we should live. Systematizing the robust theology that has undergirded Dr. John MacArthur’s well-known preaching ministry for decades, this overview of basic Christian doctrine covers topics such as God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, salvation, and more. Comprehensive in scope yet written to be accessible to the average reader—with non-technical vocabulary, minimal footnotes, and a helpful bibliography—this volume offers Christians a solid foundation for what they believe and why.

    The Danger of Defensive Sanctification

    There is a certain kind of sober-mindedness that seems to come over Christians as they age. It can flow from many sources, I’m sure, but I think it often arises from a kind of fear—a fear that they may not finish their race without some kind of a major stumble. After living the Christian life…
