The new issue of Credo Magazine is here! “Francis Schaeffer at 100.” And here are the books we are giving away:

DeYoung, Kevin. The Hole in Our Holiness: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2012.

The “hole in our holiness” is that evangelicals don’t look particularly holy, and, despite the flood of gospel-centered discussions, there seems to be a greater focus on personal depravity than on the pursuit of holiness. Looking to right the balances, Kevin DeYoung presents a popular-level treatment of sanctification and union with Christ, helping readers to see what matters most–being like Jesus. He shows how one can be like Christ in being joined to Christ. The market is ready for DeYoung’s timely book, ready to avoid legalism and ambivalence, and they are ready for someone to articulate the inextricable relationship between grace and holiness.

Whomever He Wills: A Surprising Display of Sovereign Mercy, edited by Matthew Barrett and Thomas J. Nettles, is now available at Westminster Bookstore for $21.00 (18% off).

In Romans 9:16 and 18 Paul states, “So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy …. So then He has mercy on whomever He wills, and He hardens whomever He wills.” Regretfully, many today promote a theology that argues the exact opposite! Salvation is made to depend on the human will, rather than on God’s mercy. In contrast, the authors of Whomever He Wills defend the biblical affirmation of God’s sovereign choice in salvation. God reigns supreme over all things and He will accomplish His purpose in saving His people without fail.

This book deals with the timeless issues of the ineffable glory of the grace of God and the dependence of sinners on unalloyed mercy. It also addresses a highly contemporary conflict in Southern Baptist life over the character of this very mercy.
