Bøker av Gordon Kenworthy Reed

Gordon Reed is a skillful writer and gifted preacher, with years of pastoral experience. He brings a lifetime of experience to this exposition of the Catechism. He not only knows the theology ofthe Catechism, he lives it. He is such a good popular communicator that he will make difficult topics seem more accessible (you will see his warmth and sense of humor page after page), and he is such a good theologian that he will challenge and stimulate you with his biblical insights. (He never ceases to amaze me with his ability to summarize an important truth in a single simple sentence.) Forpreachers and teachers, he not only supplies an excellent explanation of each question of the Catechism, but he offers numerous helpful illustrations and applications of these biblical truths. For students of Scripture, young and old, he clearly explains Bible doctrine in an enjoyable and engaging way. Thus, this volume will helpfully serve both as a devotional help and as a teaching aid.--J. Ligon Duncan

Now the execution has taken place. Peter and many other great and godly leaders are gone, and the Church is scattered. Somehow this letter was smuggled out of prison before Peter was taken to his cross to die. In secret, copies were made and circulated. You are a frightened believer in hiding and wondering about all that has happened and why. You have just been given a copy of the great Simon Peter's last will and testimony. This little scroll is the only thing standing between you and utter despair. You will treasure every line, every word. You will pray for understanding because you know the Holy Spirit has spoken through this apostle of Christ. You find a secret place and begin to read, even as unbidden tears pour down your face, almost blinding you.

Possibly the most overlooked and under-preached sections of the New Testament are the records we have in all four of the Gospels concerning the forty days after our Lord Jesus rose from the dead and before He ascended to His rightful throne.

I know of no subject more pertinent to the need in America today than that herein treated. As Gordon Reed says, "Across our beloved land ... there is sweeping a dreadful malady that threatens to destroy the foundation ... lawlessness." How does one counter lawlessness? The Gospel of Jesus Christ counters lawlessness as the law is inscribed afresh in those hearts that are quickened by God's spirit."I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be My people." (Jeremiah 31:33)But the law prepares the way for the Gospel. And then the Gospel sends us back to the law as God's standard. If the believer is to live a holy life, if he is to bear fruit, he must understand and obey these commandments.--from the Preface by Frank M. Barker, Jr., Pastor Emeritus, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama

This prayer is the most comprehensive and the most concise of all prayers. It speaks to every need of man, and tells of all which he may expect from God. If a believer will master this prayer and its meaning, he will know how to pray. --Gordon Kenworthy Reed, author

The killing of Jesus of Nazareth was an act of injustice and evil so great as to stagger the imagination and forever destroy the popular and stubborn myth that human nature is basically good. The killing was out and out assassination. Mob violence was involved. Judicial lynching and miscarriage of justice were also a part of this terrible crime. The ugly scene of the suffering and dying Jesus being taunted by the spiritual leaders of Israel was shocking to say the least. Yet some who saw in Jesus the fulfillment of the promised Messiah, would become the remnant of the "true Israel of God." However, the killing of Jesus was the end result of many interwoven strands of cause and effect which we will explore in this work. The complete story, therefore, has not been told by popular historical writer and television personality, Bill O'Reilly, who attempted a strictly objective, neutral reporting of the immediate facts surrounding Jesus' death. There is so much more to the story than this.

Dr. Gordon Reed is not only one of the most respected preachers in the pulpit today, he is one of the most prolific writers. His writing, like his preaching, is thoroughly Biblical, warmly Reformed, keenly insightful, always helpful, & perfectly timed. May many know the reality of the resurrected Christ as they read this new work from my friend. Michael A. Milton, Ph.D. Chancellor/CEO elect Reformed Theo. Seminary
