Revelation: The Lamb is all the glory
Richard Brooks
ISBN-13: 978-0852342299
The book of Revelation is the glorious culmination of Scripture. Everything focuses on the one who is the Lord of glory - Jesus Christ. Yet the interpretation of this book has led to a vast array of prophetical and historical themes that have deterred many Christians from serious study.
Richard Brooks comes afresh to the message of Revelation with a warm, pastoral exposition that feeds the heart as well as the mind of the reader. As with all the Welwyn commentaries, this volume is practical, clearly written and easy to understand. Above all, it points us to the glorious victory that awaits all those who faithfully follow the Lamb of God.
Richard Brooks studied at Cambridge and Bristol prior to entering the Christian ministry in 1973. Married with sons and grandchildren, he was until retirement Minister of The Dales Evangelical Church, Matlock in Derbyshire.

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.

The Tragedy of 1662: The Ejection and Persecution of the Puritans
Lee Gatiss
ISBN-13: 978-0946307609
In these days of spiritual ignorance in the country and doctrinal laxity in the church, many Anglicans look back to former times with a certain degree of wistfulness. One date lingers in the collective Anglican memory as suggestive of a golden era: 1662.
Yet 1662 was not a good year for those to whom the gospel and a good conscience were more precious than the institutional church. Hundreds of 'evangelical' puritan ministers were forced to leave the Church of England. Persecution of "dissenters" such as Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, and John Owen continued for a quarter of a century as they were banned from preaching and their like-minded congregations forbidden to meet.
This study examines the reasons for the Great Ejection and Persecution, and the things modern day Anglicans and Free Churches can learn from these easily neglected events.
Lee Gatiss is a graduate of New College (Oxford), Oak Hill (London) and Westminster Seminary (Philadelphia), and has worked for churches in Oxford, Kettering and London. He and his family live in Cambridge where he is researching seventeenth century biblical interpretation.
