QUIET TIME FOR CHRISTIANS
A Practical Guide to Daily Bible Reading and Prayer
Adrian V W Freer
Setting aside a regular time each day to read God’s Word and have a time of prayer is one of the most valuable disciplines for any Christian if they are to have a closer walk with their Saviour.
It is an indisputable fact that those who develop this routine become stronger Christians, have a deeper faith, are less liable to succumb to temptation, are more likely to make the right decisions in life, and they will persevere to the end in their Christian walk. In so doing they will lead happier, contented and more fulfilled lives. That being the case all Christians should surely want to read their Bible on a daily basis.
The aim of this book is twofold: firstly to assist those who already have a quiet time to make it more profitable and productive, and secondly to persuade those who do not as yet have a regular time alone with God to embark on the rewarding and lifelong journey of discovering the glorious truths recorded in God’s Word.
* Why read the Bible on a daily basis
* Set aside a regular time and place for Bible reading
* Bible Translation
* Examples of translation approaches
* How to read God’s Word
* Conclude with a time of prayer
* Application of God’s Word
* Benefits of a quiet time

BURIAL OR CREMATION FOR CHRISTIANS?
A Biblical Pattern for Funerals
Adrian V W Freer
Second revised and enlarged edition
There appears to be a dearth of clear Biblical teaching at the present time on the subject of whether Christians should be buried or cremated. Whether this is because death and its surrounding issues is an off limit subject, or if it is in order not to unsettle those who have already made (unalterable) choices about the burial or cremation of their loved ones, is unclear. Nevertheless the fact remains that when decisions have to be made many folk are unsure of what is right. Hurried decisions are not always the same as those that would have been made if the matter had been considered under less stressful circumstances.
That being the case it seemed prudent to address the issue by examining what the Bible has to say in order that funerals are conducted in the most Scriptural manner.

THE BOOK OF BENEDICTIONS
A Collection of Blessings from the Holy Bible
Adrian V W Freer
​
The purpose of this book is to assist in the selection of a suitable benediction to conclude church services and when taking prayers.
Extempore and written prayers can be fine, but why settle for second best when the Bible, God’s inspired and inerrant word, contains so many passages that are helpful, challenging and encouraging.
The benedictions may be used as they are, or alternatively follow a short extempore prayer which is appropriate to the passage that has been expounded.
It is the author’s sincere prayer that this volume will prove to be a helpful ‘on-the-desk’ sermon preparation tool for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of preaching God’s Word and also a comforting devotional aid for Christians at large.

A BIBLICAL DEFENCE OF THE SPORT OF ANGLING
What the Bible says about Fishing
Adrian V W Freer
This volume has been written in response to the unfounded and unwarranted attacks upon angling by those determined factions who are opposed to our gentle and contemplative pastime. Contrary to their misguided thinking, as this book will make evident, fishing is a perfectly acceptable, lawful and honourable occupation.
It is the intention that this discourse will assist those who need a little scriptural guidance as they seek to respond to our ill-informed critics in a good-natured, logical and balanced manner.
It is the author’s sincere prayer that our sport will continue to give pleasure, satisfaction and tranquillity to its many devotees, both in the perilous times that we live in and in the generations to come.

An Introductory Study from the Holy Bible
Adrian V W Freer
The purpose of this book it to provide a concise and easy-to-read survey into the subject of which of the various methods of baptism are biblical.
As will be seen there are several alternative views and the intention is to clarify matters by looking at what the Bible has to say, using it as the sole point of reference.
There will hopefully be sufficient material for readers to gain a basic grasp of the various issues, and it is suggested that those contemplating baptism would benefit from this introductory survey on the subject.
The book also lays the groundwork for further study should that be deemed necessary. Discovering more of the truths in God’s inerrant and inspired word can only be a good thing.
