REPENTANCE: TRANSITIONING TO GRACE
The doctrine of repentance is probably the most misunderstood doctrine which relates to coming to faith in Christ. The primary assertion of this book is that repentance, in Jewish contexts, speaks of the necessity for the Jew to transition away from an occupation with the Law of Moses, to an occupation with the perfect sacrifice of Christ. The author of Hebrews describes Jewish conversion as laying a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith towards God. This repentance was not turning from sins; rather, it was a Jewish transitioning away from a now defunct means of addressing sins (the provisional Law of Moses) to the perfect and complete sacrifice of Christ. This book defends, in Jewish contexts of the New Testament, the above understanding of repentance.Down load here
WITH ETERNAL GLORY
There is a prevailing attitude amongst many believers in grace that goes something like this: “All that matters to me is that at least I am going to heaven when I die”. Such children of God are all too often content to be saved but conformed to this world, never maturing beyond infancy. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate to the reader that, pressing onto maturity will yield authority to reign with Christ in the age to come and a positive distinction for eternity.

CLICHES WHICH CONFUSE
The message of the Gospel is a message of Jesus having once and for all settled the sin debt for the sinner. The saving response to that message is to believe it for one’s self, that is, the rest the eternal destiny of one’s soul in the sufficiency of the work of Christ as that which alone merits an eternal standing before God. Many today seek to do the work of evangelism by eliciting a response other than believing to a message other than the Gospel. This book examines some of those counterfeit approaches, which if relied on alone, will leave people on the wrong side of eternity. Download.Download here
SYNCHRONIZING THE GOSPEL OF JOHN WITH THE GOSPEL OF PAUL
If you have rested the eternal destiny of your soul in the all-sufficient sacrifice of Christ, in which He has taken your sin upon Himself, thus satisfying the justice of God in your behalf; if you, at one point in your life, believed in the once and for all offering of Christ for yourself, you have passed from death unto life. This book is written to defend the simplicity of that gospel message. Believing on Christ is easy; defending the simplicity of the invitation takes a lifetime of diligence. This book questions the assertion that the Gospel of John is meant to be the primary evangelistic book of the New Testament. This book is just another volume in which I “earnestly contend for the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints.” I hope you find that it strengthens your comprehension of the wonderful grace of God.

PLAN A: INTERPRETING THE GOSPELS IN LIGHT OF THE KINGDOM
This book demonstrates that the teachings of Christ, right up to His final week on earth, did not anticipate the church but anticipated a soon to appear earthly kingdom. This fact helps explain some of those passages in the first four books of the New Testament which appear to inject personal righteousness
as part of what merits our eternal standing before God. Download here
AM I SECURE IN CHRIST
This book is an affirmation of the doctrine of eternal security and explains many of those unsettling passages which seem to mitigate against this biblical truth. Download here
APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY
The charismatic movement is an abandonment of a biblical truth-based model of sanctification in favor of a personal subjective source of truth. In effect, the charismatic has his own source of personal inerrancy dwelling within. This book demonstrates the necessity to return to systematic Bible teaching as the sole source of authoritative truth needed for the edification of the believer. Download here
PERSPECTIVE ON THE KING JAMES ONLY MOVEMENT
This book examines the errors of the King James only movement. While the author his a high regard for the King James Bible and regularly references it in his pulpit ministry, and while he embraces the superiority of the Byzantine text tradition, he believes that it is incorrect to elevate a translation above the original text from which that translation is derived. The author’s biggest problem with the King James only movement is the division to which it leads in the Body of Christ. Download here
THE PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH THE AGES
This book demonstrates that the content and object of justifying faith for every individual, in every dispensation, is virtually identical: faith in the coming One who would settle my sin debt to the Father’s satisfaction. Download here
THE AGE TO COME
This book looks at what it will be like on the earth during the earthly reign of Christ. Download here
A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON ELECTION
The book is a refutation of 5 point Calvinism, demonstrating that Predestination is not unto Salvation but rather Predestination is God’s goal for the believer to be transformed into the image of Christ. Also Election is not unto Salvation but unto service. The Calvinist has created a system of soteriology in which the foreknowledge is at the core their system. They make a general assumption concerning the extent to which God knows the ends from the beginning, force that assumption to become a core component of their soteriology and then consider it an attack on the omniscience of God to believe otherwise. Moreover, through this series of assumptions they develop an entire system of soteriology based on an assumption the Bible never develops. Download here
