It’s such a joy to finally hold this gem from Free Grace Press in my hands!
I’m incredibly eager to dive deeper into its riches. What I’ve read so far has been deeply nourishing to both mind and soul and is written in a style that is wonderfully concise, caring, and remarkably easy to read.
I expect it will be equally profitable for those brand new to the body of Christ as well as the most seasoned pastor.
As a Baptist, I’m especially happy to see quality works like this being printed. Our Paedobaptist brothers have been outpacing us in the publishing game for too long and it fills me with joy to finally have this one in my hands.
Who else is adding this to their shelf?

The Redeemed Man is an indispensable book focused on the Christian man’s life. While most books on this subject focus on a particular aspect such as leadership, cultivating manliness, etc., this book focuses on the whole of the redeemed man’s life, in his person, his faith, his work, his relationships, and even in his dying. Chapters are written by various men on a specific topic and are of themselves beneficial and worthy of consideration. I particularly benefited from the chapters on singleness (an often completely ignored subject), cultivating friendships, and recreations. The two that I considered to be most helpful and edifying were the chapters written by Geoff Thomas on perseverance and Ian Hamilton on preparing for death. My mind has been meditating on these subjects almost hourly since finishing them. This is a truly great work compiled by Reformation Heritage Books and will be a blessing and help to many men as they seek to glorify God in their daily lives.

Dr. Sam Waldron’s book, The Doctrine of Last Things: An Optimistic Amillennial View (published by Free Grace Press), is a must-read. Though the book exceeds 500 pages, it is well worth the time and effort to read and carefully consider what Dr. Waldron has to say.

All biblical Christians agree that history is moving toward Christ’s second coming, the resurrection of the dead, and final judgment. Yet the timing and sequence of these events—and especially the role of ethnic Israel—remain subjects of ongoing and often intense debate.
In this outstanding work, Dr. Waldron clearly and charitably articulates the optimistic amillennial position, while firmly maintaining that it is the view most faithful to Scripture and arrived at through sound biblical interpretation. He interacts respectfully with differing perspectives yet presents his own position with clarity, conviction, and a convincingly systematic approach.

I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of eschatology (“last things”), including those already committed to a different millennial view.

Thank you, Dr. Waldron, for your careful scholarship, theological clarity, and gracious yet robust defense of the amillennial position.

I’m really enjoying this new devotional, “A Word in Season: 50 Days of Hope for Hard Times,” from Media Gratiae and Jeremy Walker. I’m only a few days in, and already it’s been a blessing and source of peaceful contemplation in the midst of the often noisy world around us. Jeremy Walker’s pastoral heart for the saints shines through in every entry. You can feel his care, his biblical wisdom, and his gentle urgency to point weary souls to Christ through the hope of the gospel.

These devotions are adapted from the excellent A Word in Season podcast (which I also highly recommend), available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms.

Whether you’re walking through hardship, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to end the year grounded in hope and begin the new one with a strengthened foundation—this little book is a treasure. It would make a thoughtful Christmas gift, a meaningful stocking stuffer, or simply a helpful addition to your own daily devotions.
I believe it will encourage you deeply, just as it’s already encouraging me.

Today we commemorate Reformation Day, marking the bold step Martin Luther took on October 31st, 1517, by nailing his 95 theses to the castle church door in Wittenberg. Luther's courageous act sparked a movement, echoing far beyond the church walls. His 95 statements ignited a call to debate and reform, emphasizing justification by faith, challenging the sale of indulgences, and calling for biblical repentance. We celebrate the impact of the Reformation, which drew many away from man-made traditions and back to Scripture as our ruler of faith and practice. Happy Reformation Day, brothers and sisters.
