Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones
I discovered a very interesting thing today, and it was this. If you go to Smashwords.com and then type in the name of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, you will find ONLY ONE BOOK that matches the search term. Smashwords has now published in excess of 90,000 books on a wide range of subjects, amounting to some 1.7 million words. It has more than 16,000 authors. Yet only one book has been published by Smashwords on Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Surely that fact commands attention on your part.

Education Is Cheap; Ignorance Costs!
The surest way to repeat the mistakes and errors of the past is to remain ignorant of them. If you want to make sure that the church remains in her moribund condition, just live life at you have been doing.
But if you want to be informed about issues of truth, issues that are foundational to life itself, then you owe it to yourself to be better educated. Education does not cost as much as ignorance!
May I refer you to my new book on Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, my mentor and teacher of many years; and he being dead still speaks to me through his written and recorded messages.
I therefore refer you to the website where you can get your own copy of this remarkable book. All of the information is brand new; it records my own personal reflections on DMLJ's teaching, and how it helped me, and sometimes hindered me. It also has a section (about 50% of the entire book) that deals with his understanding of the Gospel message as it pertains to the atonement. This has not been done before - to the best of my knowledge. So get this book and read it, and tell others about it. There is a message here that has to be got out to the multitudes, and we must do our part in spreading the word.

Calvin and Courage - Under the Cross
Available for download from today, this brand new ebook, written by the author, is long-awaited. Delivered as one of the papers at the Amyraldian Association Annual Conference in Attleborough, Norfolk in Spring 2009, to mark the 500th anniversary of the birth of the reformer fro Geneva, John Calvin (1509-1564), this paper shows a side to Calvin that is not readily known - his warm-heartedness and compassion. Sadly, some Calvinists, by their attitude, have portrayed Calvin as an ogre, and have painted him in a light that is simply not a true reflection of the man himself.
This book demonstrates the heart of Calvin in a way that some might not recognise. Yes, he could be firm when circumstances demanded it, and he was. Read how he dealt with Michael Servetus, the Catholic heretic who opposed and undermined true doctrine in several aspects such as the doctrine of the Trinity, which he denied, infant baptism of covenant children, etc. See the reformer's resolution when faced with the violent and immoral Libertines. But, then, in contrast, see him minister to the young ministerial students who were facing martyrdom at the stake for their faith.
The true Calvin just has to be seen to be appreciated and loved. It is so sad that Calvin has been misrepresented in the house of his friends, resulting in Christians dismissing the great reformer out of hand. Visit here and read about a well-balanced Calvin, and your admiration of him will grow by leaps and bounds.
This chapter, contributed by the author, is taken from the book, "John Calvin 500 - A Reformation Affirmation," and is used with permission of the publishers, Charenton Reformed Publishing, Norwich. If you want to read all seven papers, then visit the publisher's website here.

New LLoyd-Jones Book Making An Impact.
It gives me great pleasure to report that the author's book on Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones is gaining the attention of the Christian reading public, with the first sales coming in yesterday.
To secure your copy, click here.
This unique book deals with how one minister experienced the Doctor's preaching, and the help and inspiration that gave him.
It also does what no one else has done - it extracts more than 320 quotations from the Lloyd-Jones evangelistic sermons that demonstrate that theologically and soteriologically, he followed Calvin and Amyraut and Baxter rather than John Owen. This will be new to may DMLJ followers, but facts are stubborn things that do not easily give way to speculation.
Click here and discover for yourself a wealth of evangelistic material that will inform your thinking, and hopefully set your soul on fire for Christ and His mighty Gospel.
On the left hand panel of the site, you will find other books by me, two of which are free to download, and the others are priced at a minimum price.

The Grand Place, Brussels, and Protestant Martyrs
I have had the privilege of visiting many different countries as part of my recent work, and one of the most beautiful places is the Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium. Every time I visit the city, I always make a point of going to this outstandingly beautiful location. I would have stood looking up at those high spires and admiring the magnificant architecture, and marvelled at how the workers ever achieved such a fete.
However, just today (17th Jan 2012), I learned that that place has a somewhat different notoriety, because it was at this exact place in Brussels that made its mark on the great Protestant Reformation in Europe in the sixteenth century. Let Dr F. A. Schaeffer tell the story:
When Luther had begun his preaching, he received word about the first Protestant martyrs. Some monks had read his work, turned to his way of thinking, and were burned alive in the Grand Place in Brussels. The spot is still marked where they died. And the story is told that when Martin Luther heard about it, he began to walk the floor and he said, 'I can't go on. I can't do it anymore. Because of me other men are being killed. I can't go on!' Then as he wrestled with it, he understood that because it was truth, no matter what the cost to himself or anybody else, he must go on.
Schaeffer continues, "Thank God, Martin Luther marched straight forward - the reformation went forward."
The next time I visit the Grand Place in Brussels, while still admiring its beauty and magnificence, I will remember those godly men who died for Christ and his Gospel.
