H. A. Ironside

This is Dr. Ironside's latest and we regretfully say last book: the crowning work of many years of ministry by this devoted servant of Christ. Here he is at his best in his inimitable flowing style of expression that has endeared him to a very large circle of readers. As elsewhere in all his ministry, he wisely uses the inherent rule of sound Bible exposition, that is, comparing Scripture with Scripture; communicating spiritual things by spiritual means, as laid down in 1 Corinthians 2:13-16. He presents his subject convincingly and in words to be readily understood on first reading. All this makes his exposition very helpful, edifying and refreshing for the average reader as well as to the most profound scholar. Young people's groups would particularly benefit from its study, for Isaiah is rich in stirring gospel appeal and moral teaching, as well as having the prophetic outlook in general. Wonderful indeed are such passages as: Woe is me! for I am undone" (Isaiah 6:5); "Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God" (40:1); "He was wounded for our transgressions" (53:5); and "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters" (55:1). Dr. Ironside's masterful exposition of difficult passages successfully nullifies the carnal reasonings of some self-styled scholars who dare to pit their unholy reasonings against a "Thus saith the Lord," for it is well known that the book of Isaiah has been made a favorite battleground of so-called "higher criticism." - Jacket flap.

The Galatian Christians were thrown into confusion. They had received the gospel with great delight and enthusiasm, but now certain men had come from Judea insisting that unless they kept the laws and holy days of the Jews they were not saved. To straighten out these new converts, and to defend the gospel message against this false teaching, the Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle to the Galatians. Dr. Ironside, in his "Expository Messages" on this Epistle shows what an important place this "letter on law and grace" has in the lives of all Christians today. -- Jacket flap.

Every advanced society in the galaxy relies on the technology of the Protheans, an ancient species that vanished fifty thousand years ago.

Who attacked this post and for what purpose? And where is Kahlee Sanders, the young scientist who mysteriously vanished from the base--hours before her colleagues were slaughtered?Sanders is now the prime suspect, but finding her creates more problems for Anderson than it solves. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can't trust and pursued by an assassin he can't escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy . . . one he won't live to tell about. Or so the enemy thinks.From the Paperback edition.

Throughout this delightful volume, history blends with promise, Old Testament types with present-day applications, so that the always interesting book of Joshua takes on new meaning for our practical everyday lives and for our greater spiritual blessings. "It is very significant," writes Dr. Ironside, "that the name 'Joshua' is the same as the name that our blessed Lord bore here on earth. Jesus is the anglicized Greek form of Joshua. The word Joshua means 'Jehovah our Saviour,' and we may see in this Joshua of the Old Testament, a type of the Jesus of the New Testament." The book of Joshua is the dramatic and readable account of the people of God entering into their inheritance in the promised land. But it is more than merely the historical report of the Israelites reaching their forty-year goal. It serves also as a type of the Christian's attainment of spiritual blessings, as set forth in the Epistle to the Ephesians. Dr. Ironside's clear, thoughtful chapters emphasize both the historical truths and their spiritual applications. Here is both pleasure and profit for every Christian. -- Jacket flap.

Once again this beloved Bible teacher helps us to a truer understanding of the Scriptures. In this volume, which completes his expository works on the New Testament, Dr. Ironside takes us through the first of the Gospels which present the good news concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, Israel's Messiah, the eternal Son of God -- in Matthew revealing Jesus as King.

Here is a key to the little read, frequently overlooked portions of Scripture known as "The Minor Prophets." While their prophecies are short, in comparison with Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah, their messages are important, forming a definite and valuable part of God's whole revelation to man. Dr. Ironside's amazing gift for finding the heart of the lesson, and outlining it in readable, clear-cut style, gives the reader a new understanding of the messages of the minor prophets, and their place in the plan of God. -- Jacket flap. First edition, August 1909. Book in hand Seventeenth printing, March 1980. Book covers what is considered the 12 smaller Old Testament prophecy books of the Bible.

A longing desire for peace in a war-torn world is in the hearts of the vast majority of men and women of all nations. How to secure peace is the perplexing problem that all the world is now facing. It is with such a background as this that Dr. Ironside selected the title "The Way Of Peace." When he won the $1,000.00 prize offered by the American Tract Society in 1937 for the best manuscript, emphasizing one or more essentials of the evangelical faith, he took the timely subject of "Repentance," as this word seemed, at that time, to express our greatest need. That he was correct in his judgment was clearly shown by the large circulation of "Except Ye Repent." Now he comes with God's offer of peace and makes clear the one way that individuals can secure it, believing that if peace is brought about in the individual heart, wars will cease. This is an exceptionally timely book which will awaken widespread interest and will challenge the attention of peace loving people by its convincing logic and its cheering and reasonable optimism. - Publisher.

Mark, the one-time unfaithful servant, was selected by God to tell of the ever-faithful Servant, His own blessed Son. This amazing story shows us the Son of God in lowly grace and devoted subjection to the Father. Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah as the Suffering Servant of Jehovah. Moses predicted the raising up of a Prophet whose word on all questions would be final. Mark portrayed our Lord as both Servant and Prophet. However, he is never more kingly than when serving nor more divine than when willingly self-limited. There is no genealogy in the Gospel of Mark; we are not concerned about a servant's forebears, but about his ability. Rather we find in these sixteen chapters a marvelous record of activity in doing good and in making known the mind of God. The book can be surveyed readily in three divisions. Part 1, chapters 1 to 5, The Active Servant Ministering to Human Need and Distress, the presentation of the Servant and His gracious work. Part 2, chapters 6 to 10:45, The Servant Rejected but Ministering in Grace Still, the development of opposition, tradition versus revelation, intimations of the coming glory, and the path of discipleship. Part 3, chapters 10:46 to 16:20, The Consummation of Our Lord's Ministry, the rejection of the King, the supreme sacrifice, and the Resurrection with Christ serving still. Mark's supreme object was to show the Gentile world the active love of God in Jesus Christ, serving needy men, seeking after sinners, and saving all who trusted Him. If one had no other part of Scripture but this brief Gospel, there is enough in it to show to any troubled heart and conscience the way of life and peace. -- Jacket flap.
