Mister Pip 44 reviews
Lloyd Jones
Hodder Murray, 2008
Great Expectations...Fulfilled
I had great expectations for Mister Pip, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize (and, in my mind, far more deserving than The Gathering). I'm pleased to say that my expectations were truly met. This imaginative, courageous, and heartbreaking book captured my own imagination and will stay with me a long time.
The book takes place on a lush tropical island -- a paradise -- with Garden of Eden ...

Preaching & Preachers 10 reviews
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Zondervan, 1972
BEST BOOK ON PREACHING
Lloyd Jones book on preaching is the best I have read. Of the over 50 books that I have read on preaching, his book is definitely the best. This book is not necessarily a how-to, its more a philosophy book - something that preachers today need to think more about. Too many are concerned with the method and not the man. Being the right man, filled with the anointing, is crucial before you can ...

Seeking the Face of God: Nine Reflections on the Psalms 2 reviews
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 2005
We need more preachers like MLJ
This book, which is a collection of nine sermons from the Psalms, was originally published in England in 1991 and published in America for the first time last year. Although many of the illustrations in the book are circa 1950's, I found Lloyd-Jones' assessment of Christian religion to be just as relevant today. I have a clearer understanding of God as a result of reading this book.
A survey ...

Studies in the Sermon on the Mount25 reviews
David Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1984
Classic Reading From A Godly Man
This book on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is one of the best books ever produced by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. If you have never encountered Lloyd-Jones then you will be blessed as you read this book and discover a man with a passion for both the Word of God and the God of the Word.
Lloyd-Jones, according to John Piper, is one of the last true Calvinistic Methodist from the days of George ...

The Assurance of Our Salvation: Exploring the Depth of Jesus' Prayer for His Own1 review
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 2000
Safe In This World
This book is a good expostion of the prayer that forms part of the Farewell Discourse. It contains much needed insight and exhortation.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones was the Westminster Chapel preacher for more than 30 years.
1. He preached that the Baptism of the Spirit was not part
of regeneration. That won him favor with Charismatics, as this
supports their view of the special ...

How To be A Baby . . . By Me, The Big Sister12 reviews
Sally Lloyd-Jones
Schwartz & Wade, 2007
Hilarious!
Some of the lines had me laughing so hard! Perfect balance of showing annoyance and love toward a younger sibling...which is such a reality for older siblings. Sometimes, they just get annoyed with the baby, but that never means the overwhelming love (that they can't even grasp yet WHY they have it) goes away.
A definite plus (and thankfully not the focus, since that's not the point of the ...

Walking with God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotional Selections4 reviews
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 2003
Wonderful, Deep Devotional Material in a Readable Format
Finding helps for our devotional time can be a challenge. Often, many of them merely offer a "Daily Crumb" rather then a satisfying meal of Scripture. This new collection of the late Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones writings, arranged into 365 daily readings, seeks to offer devotional material that engages the mind in addition to the heart. One feature I especially like in their arrangement is that each ...

Great Doctrines of the Bible: God the Father, God the Son; God the Holy Spirit; The Church and the Last Things1 review
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 2003
Yes!
This is one of the bests books I have ever read. It is essentially a systematic theology usuing the same format as Calvin's Institute's, or Charles Hodge or Louis Berkhof, but it is so much more accessable to modern readers, especially lay-people. It is precise and Biblical, without wondering from the main line of thought. Very, very good.

AWESOME TRUTH THAT SETS CAPTIVES FREE
MUST HAVE COMMENTARY ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTERS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. I HAVE READ MY COPY SO MANY TIMES I'VE LOST COUNT. AFTER READING LOTS OF STUFF ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, THIS BOOK SHINES LIKE A BEACON OF TRUTH AND LIBERATION. IT MAKES PLAIN TRUTHS THAT HAVE BEEN DISTORTED BY MANY WELL MEANING EXPOSITORS. THIS BOOK SUPPORTS COMMENTARY WITH SCRIPTURE AFTER SCRIPTURE AND IS BOTH PRACTICAL ...

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 1995
Out of the Depths--a Classic of "The Doctor"
This is an exposition of Psalm 51 from the greatest Biblical expositor of the 20th century.If anyone needs certainty about whether the Lord has begun His work of grace in their soul, MLJ provides the true meaning of repentence, not the perfectionism or be "good and try harder" that is out there.

Precious way to introduce bible stories to little ones!
I purchased 2 of these and couldnt be more pleased. My 10 month old nephew loves the fuzzy cover and enjoys the the stories being read to him. The other went to our 3 year old cousin. It is very age appropriate and is a wonderful way to introduce the Bible. This is my new baby gift, I will give one to every child I know.

Spiritual Depression1 review
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Zondervan, 1998
Not really about depression
The author is a pastor, not a psychologist. Nevertheless he is a renowned pastor and blessed with good insight. I enjoyed the book and managed to finish it. Though some of it was redundant, and his definition of spiritual depression doesn't, IMHO, fit the traditional definition of depression, it was an interesting book to read.

Old MacNoah Had an Ark (HarperBlessings)1 review

HarperCollins, 2008
My grand toddler's favorite book
My granddaughter is 15 months old and loves Old MacDonald Had a Farm. After I bought Old McNoah for her, it quickly became her favorite book. She has a library of about 15 books (and growing!). When I ask her to get a book for me to read, she invariably gets Old McNoah. The pictures are eye catching and the sounds are even better. Whereas Old McDonald has a moo moo here and there, Old McNoah ...

True Happiness: Psalms 1 and 107 (Lloyd-Jones, David Martyn. Wisdom from the Psalms.)1 review
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 2001
The Glorious Gospel in Two Happy Psalms
If I had any reason to live in 1955, it is to attend the services at Westminster Chapel when Pastor Jones preached these sermons. To the best of my knowledge, nobody preached the gospel from Psalms as stunningly as he did. Psalms 1 and 107 are Biblical human psychology; a true, honest, unashamed, sober view of postlapsarian men, created to find their true happiness in living for and enjoying ...

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Kingsway Publications, 2008
The 'In-Filling' Explained
This is the clearest and most convincing expostition of the baptism/infilling of the Holy Spirit as a second work of grace that I have ever read. Lloyd-Jones is very articulate, and presents his arguments with great clarity. Be warned - after reading this book, you will find it difficult to disagree with him!

Oresteia1 review
Aeschylus
University of California Press, 2008
A superb presentation of the three plays of Aeschylus.
An excellent presentation of the trilogy. Way back in 1970, Sir Lloyd-Jones had come out with the three plays in individual format and filled with annotations. Now, all three plays are together. And all three plays should be required reading for new students at a university. The first play in the Oresteia trilogy (the only extant Greek trilogy) is "Agamemnon." The trilogy won First Prize at ...
