Our purpose is to bring you interesting and informative works such as books, study booklets, CD’s and DVD’s that have the Bible as their source, and that uphold basic Bible teachings.
The offerings feature the works of John Carroll Brown and, as opportunity permits, include the works of others. Some of JCB's titles are:
Drama of the Age: An Exposition of Revelation. "The things that are to come to pass hereafter" are presented as a divine drama in two parts. Part one is the preparation for the drama in chapters 4-11, introducing the theater, producer, director, script, themes, and plot of the drama. Part two is the playing out of the drama in seven acts, found in Chapters 12-22 . Four of the seven acts are focused on the pouring out of God's wrath upon the forces of evil who are led by Satan, and finally upon Satan himself. In the millennium of chapter 20 the saints reign on this earth for a period represented as 1000 years, during which the dominion of the world becomes the dominion of our Lord and His Christ. Following this, Jesus returns bodily to judge the living and he dead. All the dead are raised to appear before His judgment seat where those not written in the Lamb's book of life are condemned to the lake of fire. After this, in chapter 21, Jesus conducts them as His bride, New Jerusalem, to the new heaven and earth which He has prepared for them as their eternal home.
Beyond the Silence: The Role of Silence in Determining Divine Authority. This book presents a restudy of the view that God's authority (especially authority to forbid) is found in the silence of scripture. It points out that inference is a function of the human mind are therefore fallible. Because of this, inferences drawn from incidents or from the silence of scripture must not be bound upon the consciences of men as if they were laws of God clearly revealed by Him.
A Dream of Judgment: A Poem About Those Who Make Laws for God. This polemic, written in poetic rhyme, draws the reader into the presence of Christ at the judgment scene before whom a legalist stands, trying to justify his actions in condemning others on the basis of rules which he has assumed, although they are not stated in scripture.
To these titles will be added additional works as they are published. Four books now in the works are:
Covenant of Freedom: The Nature and Characteristics of the New Covenant. Many Christians have a misconception of the new covenant, believing it to be a set of documents we call the New Testament. This document is not the covenant, but the revealing of it. Covenant of Freedom points out that the new covenant God has made with His people is Christ Himself, through His life and works, His death and resurrection, and ascension to the throne of God. The nature and characteristics of the new covenant are vastly different from that of the covenant given through Moses at Sinai. These differences are brought out and the character of the new covenant is emphasized.
The Promise of the Father: The Gift of the Holy Spirit. The Promise of the Father was written to give a comprehensive view of the Holy Spirit, not only to help see who the Spirit is, but also to show how He works, and how the GIFT of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit Himself is the gift) and the gifts of the Holy Spirit (divine powers given by the Spirit) fit into the picture. A comprehensive view of the Holy Spirit's relation to mankind is given as the basis for fitting all the fragments together harmoniously.
The Eternal Plan: God's Purpose for You. This is written in narrative form; It begins before creation by eavesdropping on the council of the Divine Trio, God, His Word, and His Spirit. It continues to tell the story of the carrying out of the plan through the Old and New Testaments, and throughout this age until He comes to usher in the eternal age.
Bible Examples and Inferences: What Part Do They Play in Determining the Will of God for Us? This book is written to re-examine the teaching that examples (incidents recorded in the New Testament) and inferences drawn from both Bible commands and incidents are binding as laws upon Christians.
