"Theologian Stephen Charnock Explains the Unchangeableness of God's Essence, Nature, and Perfections
Does God's purpose change when he answers a prayer? Does his will shift when he grants repentance to sinners? Was the essence of God's son altered when he came to earth as a man? The unchangeability of God is central to the gospel, but this doctrine is frequently misunderstood by believers and debated by atheists.
In this classic essay, which has been edited and updated for a modern audience, theologian Stephen Charnock explains the doctrine of immutability. Comparing God's unchangeability to the inconstancy of all creatures, Charnock helps listeners see the foolishness of relying on a perishing world rather than an eternal and perfect God. This concise, Scripture-based essay is essential for students, pastors, and laypeople.
- Written by Theologian Stephen Charnock: Abridged and lightly edited, this essay focuses on biblical and theological evidence that God is eternally unchangeable
- Part of the Crossway Short Classics Series: Other titles include What Did the Cross Achieve?; The Life of God in the Soul of Man; and Fighting for Holiness
- Includes a Foreword by Mark Jones"
"This Abridged Version of Thomas Goodwin's Classic on Free Grace Urges Listeners to Trust in God's Enduring Compassion
The grace of Jesus, free and everlasting, isn't diminished by iniquity but is inclined toward the afflicted. The Savior, who was tempted but never sinned, shows tender affection for sinners. And in the book of John, when Jesus spoke of his coming ascension to heaven, he didn't focus on his own glory; he promised to remain close to believers, interceding for them from heaven.
Puritan theologian Thomas Goodwin preached extensively on Jesus's grace in his most popular work, The Heart of Christ Toward Sinners on Earth (1645). This abridged version features updated language and a foreword by Dane Ortlund. As listeners follow the last week of Jesus's life and meditate on his love, they will be moved to confidently seek God's throne of grace.
- Use as a Devotional for Personal Growth: Recommended for nominal Christians and sincere believers interested in developing authentic faith
- Approachable Guide to Christian Living: Explores the doctrine of free grace
- Great Study Resource: This edited and abridged edition of a classic work can be used in Bible colleges, seminaries, and churches

"2026 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist, Fantasy
Only Ludwig can save the fairies—if he can be bothered to.
Long before sirens and subways, New York’s first residents—noise-loathing fairies—fled underground to escape the city’s ever-increasing roar. Now, after centuries of failed plots to bring silence to the city, they’re trying something new: hiring a human.
When Ludwig, a comfort-obsessed slacker, begins hearing a word no one else remembers speaking, he follows its trail to a hidden fairy society beneath Times Square. There, he meets An Exalted Northwind, a fairy enchantress determined to forgo her species’ signature fondness for cruelty in favor of peacefully reclaiming the surface. But she can’t do it without a human go-between.
As payment for Ludwig’s help, she offers him a ruby-defecating piglet. Unfortunately for the fairies, Ludwig’s sudden wealth leaves him free to do any job except the one he’s been given—like becoming an athleisure fashion mogul. As the fairies become increasingly desperate, Ludwig must choose between comfort and accountability before New York City is forever undone by fairy vengeance.
The Loudest Place on Earth is an urban fable of defiance and consequence, where even magic must make way for the modern."

'M. J. Porter has written a story of one battle – Haedfeld – which will change the face of England. And written it very well indeed, for the dialogue is sharp and whilst the day-to-day descriptions are fairly sparse, the telling of the battle is gripping.' HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW"

"All NEW from MJ Porter.
In the battle for power, there can be only one ruler.
AD925
Athelstan is the king of the English, uniting the petty kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, the Danish-held Five Boroughs and York following the sudden death of his father, King Edward.
His vision is to unite the realms of the Scots and the Welsh in a peace accord that will protect their borders from the marauding threat of the Norse Vikings.
Whilst seemingly craving peace and demanding loyalty with an imperium over every kingdom, Athelstan could dream of a much bigger prize.
But danger and betrayal surround his best intentions, namely from his overlooked stepbrother, Edwin, who conspires and vies for what he deems is his rightful place as England's king.
As ever, powerful men who wish to rule do not wish to be ruled, and Constantin of the Scots, Owain of Strathclyde, and Ealdred of Bamburgh plot their revenge against the upstart English king, using any means necessary.
An epic story of kingsmanship that will set in motion the pivotal, bloody Battle of Brunanburh where allies have to be chosen wisely..."
