AVOIDING
THE SNARE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISMISBN: 1-58318-036-2
Pages: 165 (5 X 8", perfect bound)
Called the best on the subject by the editor of The Baptist Challenge, this 165-page book is diligently researched from official publications of the Seventh-day Adventist organization. The author proves conclusively that the Adventists hold a false gospel and should be avoided as a dangerous, unscriptural group. The two major divisions of the book are: "Adventist History Proves It is Heretical" and "Adventist Doctrine Proves It Is Heretical." The book analyzes Adventist doctrines such as Sabbath-keeping, Soul-sleep, Annihilation of the wicked, Ellen White as a Prophetess, Investigative Judgment, and Misuse of the Mosaic Law. Another chapter is titled "Why Some Have Considered Seventh-day Adventism Evangelical." This analyzes Walter Martin's (author of Kingdom of the Cults) faulty view of Adventism. The 2nd edition (1999) includes selections from D.M. Canright's 1898 book Seventh-day Adventism Renounced. Canright was an early leader in Adventism who left and became a Baptist pastor. The 2nd edition also includes a chapter entitled "Adventists Wanted Me to Revise This Book," describing the attempt by the Seventh-day Adventist denomination to have me change the book. 165 pages, 5X8, perfect bound. $5.95

THE
DARJEELING DISASTERPages: 108 (5 X 8", perfect bound)
A challenging missionary story which took place at the turn of the 20th century. A missionary family in India lost six of their seven children in a landslide. The book is written by the godly mother, who recounts the event and its effect on their lives. They continued serving the Lord on the mission field and established an orphanage as a memorial to their deceased offspring. The children were serious about their walk with the Lord, and the quotations from their diaries are very stirring. This unique book is particularly challenging in the following areas: (1) The godly, Christ-centered family life; (2) the zeal of the children to follow Godís will; (3) the familyís careful separation from the world; (4) their sacrificial Christian service and perseverance in the work of Christ in the face of extreme trials; (5) their compassion for the lost. 108 pages, 5X8, perfect bound. $4.95
EVANGELICALS
AND ROMEISBN: 1-58318-058-3
Pages: 367 (7 X 8", perfect bound)
This volume traces the amazing history of the evangelical world's journey to Rome. Nothing more plainly demonstrates the ongoing fulfillment of prophecies pertaining to end-time apostasy and the formation of a world-world harlot "church." The Introduction documents the history and apostasy of Evangelicalism since the 1940s. Part 1 answers the question "Is the Roman Catholic Church Changing?" It includes a study from official Vatican II documents as well as from the New Catholic Catechism proving that the RCC has not changed its heretical position on such things as the mass, the papacy, Mary, purgatory, the priesthood, prayers to the dead, and the sacraments. The author also shows that Vatican II and the New Catechism affirm the blasphemous declarations of the Council of Trent. Part II covers "Billy Graham and Rome," documenting Billy Graham's relationship with the Roman Catholic Church from 1950 to present. Part III covers other influential Evangelical leaders and organizations, documenting dozens of popular evangelical leaders and organizations, including Bill Bright and Campus Crusade, Tony Campolo, Christianity Today, Christian Research Institute, James Dobson, Chuck Colson, Elizabeth Elliot, Jerry Falwell, Fuller Seminary, Franklin Graham, Carl Henry, Bill Hybels, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, D. James Kennedy, J.I. Packer, Luis Palau, Robert Schuller, John R. Stott, Thomas Nelson, United Bible Societies, Jack Van Impe, Wheaton College, World Magazine, World Vision, Wycliffe Bible Translators, and Youth for Christ. Part IVdeals with "The Southern Baptist Convention and Rome." Part Vdeals with "The Charismatics and Rome."

Part VI deals with "Promise Keepers and Rome." Part VII deals with "Contemporary Christian Music and Rome." Part VIII deals with the subject of "Evangelical Catholics." This section looks at the phenomenon of so-called evangelical Catholicism and charismatic Catholics. The book "Evangelical Catholics" by Keith Fournier (foreword by Chuck Colson) is reviewed and refuted from Scripture. Part IX looks at the many ways "Rome Denies Salvation by Grace Alone." Part X deals with the recent agreement between "Lutherans and Catholics on the Doctrine of Salvation by Grace." Part XI looks at Evangelicals and Catholics Together II. Part XII answers the question "Was Mother Teresa a True Christian?"Did she teach the people under her care the true Gospel? This study contains an interview with a nun who works with Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Charity. Read this amazing interview and learn what this Calcutta-trained nun does to prepare Hindus for death. Part XIII examines the charge that we don’t understand the Catholic Church. 352 pages, 7X8, perfect bound. $19.95
EXAMINING
"THE KING JAMES ONLY CONTROVERSY"ISBN: 1-58318-060-5
Pages: 115 (5 X 8", perfect bound)
This is an extensive and careful examination of James White’s book "Examining the King James Only Controversy." I did not read in White’s book long before I realized that it is misnamed. It should be titled The Ruckman-Riplinger Controversy, because White paints the entire movement in defense of the King James Bible with the brush of these two individuals. White’s book appears, at first glance, to be an unemotional, objective, scholarly approach to the topic of Bible texts and versions. In reality, it is a vicious slander upon those who are defenders of the King James Bible and the Received Text underlying the KJV and other great Reformation Bibles. He implies throughout that every KJV defender is either a raving lunatic or an ignorant extremist. He ignores or passes over slightly, even flippantly, the great issues of the KJV defense, focusing, instead, upon the most indefensible representations. 115 pages, 5X8, perfect bound. $4.95

ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES: THE CALVINISM DEBATE: WHO IS THE ENEMY?
We are pleased to announce the publication of a multi-media video presentation titled The Calvinism Debate: Who Is the Enemy? Photographs, books, and other visual aids are professionally mixed into this high-quality presentation to illustrate the message.
This video message deals with the controversial debate on Calvinistic or TULIP theology. The speaker does not believe one has to accept either Calvinistic or Arminian theology. One can, instead, be simply a Biblicist and accept the Bible’s teaching on its face without making an attempt to neatly reconcile every seeming contradiction. Systematic theology is helpful and has an important place in teaching Bible truth, but it can be dangerous if the “theologian” attempts to go beyond simple Bible statements to answer questions that we cannot answer on this side of eternity. The speaker is convinced that the attempt to do this was one of John Calvin’s chief errors.
The author has studied Calvin’s Institutes of Christian Religion and concludes that Calvinism, as it was taught by Calvin himself, contained several serious errors. These are (1) turning theology into philosophy, (2) interpreting Scripture by theology rather than biblical context, (3) assigning set definitions to theological terms instead of allowing context to define them, (4) forcing either-or solutions to biblical problems, (5) confusing the church with Israel, and (6) going back to the “church fathers” instead of strictly to the Apostles. Pertaining to point number six, in his “Institutes,” Calvin repeatedly said that he leaned upon Augustine, one of the fathers of the Roman Catholic Church. For example, he said, “If I were inclined to compile a whole volume from Augustine, I could easily show my readers, that I need no words but his” (Institutes, Book III, chap. 22).
The video message concludes by considering “Who or what is the chief enemy in this debate?” A two-fold answer is given: (1) The chief enemy is any theology that dampens evangelistic zeal; and (2) the chief enemy is any methodology that corrupts evangelistic zeal. The author is convinced that the practice of “easy believism” or “quick Prayerism” is as harmful to the cause of Jesus Christ as hyper Calvinism.
This is an important presentation for Churches, Bible Colleges, and Home Schools that want to prepare their people to deal with the apostasy and compromise of these last days.

ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES: DANGERS IN CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORES
We are pleased to announce the publication of a multi-media video presentation titled Dangers in Christian Bookstores. A multiplicity of photographs of individuals, books, and other visual aids are professionally mixed into this high-quality presentation to illustrate the message.
Sadly and strangely, one of the great spiritual dangers facing Bible-believing churches today is the unscriptural material that lines the shelves of the typical Christian bookstore. This video message carefully exposes several of these dangerous philosophies that permeate the average Christian bookstore, including the philosophy of positivism, the ecumenical philosophy, the anti-fundamentalism philosophy, the charismatic doctrine, the church growth doctrine, and the humanistic psychology.
Some of the popular Christian writers that are considered are Robert Schuller, Kay Arthur, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Billy Graham, Chuck Colson, John Maxwell, Philip Yancey, Jim Cymbala, Max Lucado, Elisabeth Elliot, Jerry Bridges, Jack Hayford, Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, James Dobson, and C.S. Lewis.

ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES: WHY WE HOLD TO THE KING JAMES BIBLE
We are pleased to announce the publication of a multi-media video presentation titled Why We Hold to the King James Bible.
There is much false information being published about the Bible version issue, and defenders of the King James Bible in general are being charged with being divisive and ignorant. This high-quality two-hour videotape presents two of the chief reasons why are convinced that English-speaking people need to hold to the King James Bible in the face of the onslaught of the modern versions.
I. THE KJV HAS THE RIGHT GREEK TEXT
In our estimation, the first and foremost reason why we need to hold to the KJV is that it is based on the right Greek New Testament, whereas the modern versions are based upon a corrupted Greek New Testament that was fashioned in the 19th century out of unbelieving, humanistic principles. In this video presentation we help the viewer understand this matter by examining Four Periods of Church History: The Apostolic period, which was the era of the giving of the Bible; the 2nd and 3rd centuries, which was the era of the corruption of the Bible; the Dark Ages, which was the era of the persecution against the Bible; and the Reformation, which was the era of the printing of the Bible. We show that throughout this long period up to the late 1800s, God’s people had confidence in the preserved Scriptures. Bible believers of that era were not trying to find the Scriptures; they were busy preaching the Scriptures to the ends of the earth! The modern Greek New Testament, to the contrary, was founded upon the principle that the Scriptures were not divinely preserved by God but were corrupted. According to modern textual criticism, a corruption of the New Testament somehow became the Bible of God’s people around the 3rd century and it was that corruption that was spread throughout the world and used by God’s people for 15 and more centuries until the end of the 1800s, when (allegedly) the pure New Testament was finally recovered through the theories of textual criticism. All of this is carefully examined in the video.
II. THE KJV HAS THE RIGHT DOCTRINE.
The second most important reason for holding to the King James Bible, in our estimation, is that it is doctrinally pure as opposed to the corruption which is evident in the modern versions. This video presentation explodes the popular myth that no doctrine is affected by the various versions. We deal with this issue under five headings:
(1) To change words is to change doctrine. We believe in verbal inspiration, not thought inspiration (Matt. 4:4; 1 Cor. 2:13). It is not enough to have a Bible that preserves pure doctrine in general.
(2) The Unitarians understood the doctrinal nature of modern textual criticism. Several of the fathers of modern textual criticism were Christ-denying Unitarians, and they believed that the modern eclectic Greek New Testament better reflected their heretical doctrine than does the Received Text underlying the KJV.
(3) The doctrine of individual passages is dramatically and unquestionably changed by the omissions within the modern versions.
(4) Key doctrines are weakened in the modern versions. The doctrinal issue created by the modern versions is not so much the removal of doctrine, but the weakening of doctrine. We focus on the deity of Jesus Christ to demonstrate this important point.
(5) Some doctrine is removed almost entirely in the modern versions. We use the doctrine of fasting to illustrate this.

ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES: OLD TIME FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO STOOD FOR THE KING JAMES BIBLE
ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES: BIBLICAL SEPARATION AND ITS NEGLECT AMONG FUNDAMENTAL BAPTISTSISBN:
VHS (NTST)
We are pleased to announce the publication of a multi-media video presentation titled Biblical Separation and Its Neglect Among Fundamental Baptists.
Photographs, books, and other visual aids are professionally mixed into this high-quality presentation to illustrate the message.
When we returned from the mission field in 1989, I began to notice a change among fundamental Baptist churches, a widespread neglect of biblical separation. This became even more obvious after Promise Keepers blasted onto the scene in 1995. For the first time, many independent Baptist churches joined hands with a radically ecumenical organization and movement that included Roman Catholics, Modernistic Protestants, etc. It was the practice of separation in particular that historically set fundamental Baptists apart from Southern Baptists and that forced large numbers of men to leave the SBC in the 1960s and 1970s. Now this important distinctive is being laid aside by many fundamental Baptists. This is exactly what happened in the 1950s, when the New Evangelicals rejected separatism and determined to proceed upon a path of positivism and tolerance, dialogue and infiltration. In our video presentation on New Evangelicalism, we document the fearful downgrade in doctrine and morality that has followed in the wake of their rejection of separation. The same future awaits those independent Baptists who follow in these misguided footsteps.
One reason so many are sliding away from separation is lack of sound instruction on the more controversial things. I recall that I did not have a course on separation in fundamental Baptist Bible school that I attended even back in the mid-1970s. Yet if we look at the New Testament epistles, we see that the Apostles dealt with error continually and plainly. It is impossible to maintain the truth without warning against error. Our commission is not only to believe the faith but also to earnestly contend for it. This is not an optional part of the ministry.
This video presentation begins with an overview of the doctrine of separation from the Bible. The author deals with the Foundation of separation, the Method of separation, the Reason for separation, the Basis for separation, the Initiative of separation, and the Attitude of separation.
He then illustrates the widespread neglect of separation today among fundamental Baptists as a warning to those who have ears to hear. He gives many specific examples of this from bookstores, radio stations, from the arena of music and missions, pertaining to the use of psychology and textual criticism, etc.
This is an important presentation for Churches, Bible Colleges, and Home Schools that want to prepare their people to deal with the apostasy of these last days.

ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES:ERRORS OF MODERN TEXTUAL CRITICISMISBN:
VHS (NTST)
We are pleased to announce the publication of a multi-media video presentation titled The Errors of Modern Textual Criticism.
Rare photographs, books, and other visual aids are professionally mixed into this high-quality presentation to illustrate the message.
In preparation for these messages, the author drew from the resources in his own extensive private library as well as from theological libraries in many parts of the world.
The modern versions (American Standard Version, Revised Standard Version, New International Version, etc.) are based on the “science” of modern textual criticism which was developed in the 19th century and resulted in the English Revised Version of 1881. Recently the book From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man, written by fundamental Baptists, claimed that “…textual criticism … is not a negative attitude toward the inspiration of the Bible. It is in reality an effort to assure us that we have the inspired Word of God” (p. 24).
We are convinced that this is a false view of textual criticism, and in this series of multimedia messages, we have presented evidence for four grievous errors of modern textual criticism:
1. Modern textual criticism ignores the supernatural character of the Bible.
2. Modern textual criticism ignores Satan’s attack on the Bible.
3. Modern textual criticism ignores God’s promise of preservation.
4. Modern textual criticism ignores the preeminence of faith.
Contrary to what some are saying today, the battle against modern textual criticism is not new. The author quotes a wide variety of authorities who stood against modern textual criticism in England and America at the end of the 19th century and throughout the 20th. He exposes the deep Unitarian connection in the founding of modern textual criticism. He documents the apostasy of all of the editors of the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament. He discusses the issue of Erasmus and his relation to the Received Text. He traces the history of the devil’s attack upon the Word of God that began in the Garden of Eden and has continued unabated throughout the Old and New Testament eras. He shows that the Apostles warned that the Scriptures would be attacked by false teachers, and the centuries immediately following the death of the Apostles witnessed exactly such attacks, as heretics attempted to change the Scriptures to suit their false doctrines and thereby introduced great confusion into the transmission of the text. He describes the battle for the Bible that went on during Dark Ages, as Rome did everything in its power to keep the Bible out of the hands of the common people. He traces the history of the English Bible from the days of Wycliffe and Tyndale and Rogers. He documents the massive attack upon the Bible that is going on in our day through theological Modernism and New Evangelicalism. He cites more than a dozen standard works on textual criticism to prove this modern textual criticism is built upon the premise that the pure Scripture was not preserved by God. Finally, he shows that God requires faith. It is impossible to find the Word of God apart from faith, and yet modern textual criticism is founded not upon faith in God’s promises but upon the cleverness of human scholarship. This, in itself, is a great error.
This is an important presentation for Churches, Bible Colleges, and Home Schools that want to prepare their people to deal with the apostasy of these last days.

ISSUES FACING THE CHURCHES VIDEO SERIES: NEW EVANGELICALISM: A VERY GREAT DANGERISBN: 1-58318-071-0
VHS (NTST)
This 90-minute presentation by David Cloud deals with the subject of New Evangelicalism from the standpoint of its history, its theology, its most popular defenders and its certain outcome. The photographs and video clips used to illustrate the message are professionally mixed into the presentation. Many have said it is the best and most practical presentation they have seen on this subject. New Evangelicalism stands on a shaky middle ground between fundamental Bible-believing Christians and the wider world of Romanism, Pentecostalism and the apostasy of mainline, liberal Protestant denominations. This presentation traces the history of New Evangelicalism back through the modernism that was prevalent in Germany in the 1800s and in America in the early 1900s. It examines the faulty philosophies of the men who have promoted New Evangelicalism: Billy Graham, John Harold Ockenga, Harold Lindsell, John R. W. Stott, Max Lucado, Charles Stanley, Warren Wiersbe, Chuck Swindoll, Chuck Colson, Luis Palau, Franklin Graham, C. Peter Wagner, Bill McCartney, Bill Bright, Stephen Olford, Jack Van Impe, Joseph Stowell; as well as the schools which have passed this philosophy on to a generation of preachers and missionaries: Wheaton College, Fuller Theological Seminary, Dallas Theological Seminary; Westminster College, Gordon-Conwell, Biola, and others. Is God pleased with preachers who refuse to separate from evil? Who refuse to name the names of false teachers? Who refuse to preach the negative things of the Bible? Who have earned the praise and acclamation of the world and its institutions? Who are willing to unite with those who preach a "different gospel" than the one which can save a soul? In this presentation, David Cloud gives clear, Bible answers to the many questions raised by New Evangelicalism, so that Christians can arm themselves against this dangerous and unbiblical philosophy. New Evangelicalism is one of the greatest dangers facing fundamentalist, Bible-believing churches today. When people leave our churches and go elsewhere, they do not ordinarily join the Catholic Church or some cult like the Jehovah's Witnesses. Instead, they more commonly join some easy-going, no-standards, live-as-you-please, judge-not, positive-only New Evangelical church across town. $19.95

This high-quality two-hour videotape deals with the errors and philosophies that permeate contemporary Christian music and demonstrates conclusively the dangers of borrowing the world’s music. The photographs and video clips used to illustrate the message are professionally mixed into the presentation. The presentation includes quotes and background on rockers, bluesmen and CCM artists like Jimi Hendrix, Professor Longhair, BB King, Timothy Leary, Robert Johnson, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, David Bowie, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay, Messiah Prophet, Petra, Bob Larson, Phil Keaggy, Phil Driscoll, Sheila Walsh, Jennifer Knapp, John Wimber, DC Talk, Audio Adrenaline, Sandy Patti, the Supertones, Gary Chapman, Kirk Franklin, Kathy Troccoli, Michael Card, John Michael Talbot and Rich Mullins, among others. It also deals with contemporary Southern Gospel as represented by the Gaithers. The presentation examines the overt worldliness in lifestyle, appearance, and methods of the Contemporary Christian Music industry. Further, it shows the connection between the charismatic movement, the Roman Catholic Church, and sound, Bible-believing churches which adopt the music and philosophies of CCM. Is music neutral? Should Christians rock? Isn’t CCM a good way to entice the world into the church? Where should we draw the line in Christian music? How does worldly music enter Bible-believing churches? What are the dangers of this new music? Isn’t it legalistic to have specific standards for music? For Bible answers to these and many other important questions on the issue of music, we highly recommend this video. Many who have viewed the pre-publication edition of the video have said that it is the best presentation on the dangers of Contemporary Christian Music that they have seen.

MYTHS
ABOUT MODERN BIBLE VERSIONSISBN: 1-58318-059-1
Pages: 329 (7 X 8", perfect bound)
This book deals with eight popular myths surrounding the modern Bible version issue. Myth One, Erasmus was merely a humanist. Myth Two, the Reformation editors lacked sufficient manuscript evidence. Myth Three, differences between texts and versions affect no doctrine. Myth Four, inspiration was infallible but preservation is fallible. Myth Five, the scholars do not support the Received Text. Myth Six, modern texts and versions are based upon Bible-believing scholarship. Myth Seven, Evangelical scholarship can be trusted. Myth Eight, dynamic equivalency is a faithful method for translating the Scriptures. The book answers questions such as the following: Why are the modern Bible versions so different from the KJV? Is it true that the differences between the versions do not affect doctrine? What is the Received Text? What is the Westcott-Hort Text? Is it still influential? Who are the scholars who defend the King James Bible? Is modern textual criticism based upon biblical principles? Who were the men who developed modern textual criticism? (The book contains reports on most influential textual critics and modern translators of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Johann Wetstein, Johann Griesbach, Karl Lachmann, Constantine Tischendorf, Westcott and Hort, George Vance Smith, Philip Schaff, Ezra Abbot, Joseph Thayer, Caspar Rene Gregory, Walter Bowie, Edgar Goodspeed, James Moffatt, C.H. Dodd, Carlo Martini, Eugene Nida, Bruce Metzger, Kurt Aland, Robert Bratcher, William Barclay, F.F. Bruce, Fredric Kenyon, Ernest Colwell, Frederick Conybeare, Samuel Driver, Gerhard Kittel, Kirsopp Lake, J.B. Phillips, Henry Wheeler Robinson, and Hermann von Soden.) Who was John Burgon? Who are the editors of the United Bible Societies Greek Text? Why did the Unitarians love the Westcott-Hort Greek text? Why do most Evangelical scholars support the modern versions? Does Psalm 12:7 refer to the preservation of God’s Word? Why do textual critics ignore divine preservation? Why do so many seminaries reject the Received Text? Who is Bruce Metzger? Why does Billy Graham support the modern versions? What kinds of Bibles are being translated into foreign languages? Is the fight for the KJV necessary? Do I have to be a Greek scholar to understand this issue? Where was the preserved Word of God before 1611? Jack Moorman says: "This book is excellent! It presents a good and thorough overview of the subject, and I found it especially helpful in dealing with some of the 'nit picking' arguments the other side has raised in recent years." 328 pages, 7X8, perfect bound. $19.95

O
TIMOTHY MAGAZINEWay of Life Catalog Number:
Pages: 28 (8.5 X 11", monthly)
O Timothy is a monthly magazine with the aim of urging preachers to stand for the truth and to resist error. The magazine is in its 17th year of publication. It is a large two-color magazine format, 28 or more pages per issue. The title, which is taken from 1 Timothy 6:20, describes the burden of the magazine, which is urging men in these last days to keep the faith once delivered to the saints and to avoid the error which is on every hand. One of the chief goals is to help protect churches from end-time apostasy through doctrinal preaching and carefully documented research. O Timothy is edited by David Cloud, Independent Baptist preacher for 27 years; missionary to Nepal for ten years; Director of Way of Life Literature since 1973. O Timothy contains well-researched reports on worldwide ecumenism, apostasy, and current events affecting the Christian. Pastor Gordon Conner, Tabernacle Baptist Church, Vancouver, British Columbia, has received O Timothy for many years. He writes: "One of the many benefits of t his magazine is the depth and detail involved in Bro. Cloud's research and writing. When I finish reading a copy of O Timothy, I come away with good, solid information--not just little tidbits. As a pastor, I feel that it is important to keep abreast of t he current trends and issues of separation. The problem is, I do not have the time to read and evaluate the multitude of Christian publications out there, nor do I have the time to attend their meetings, etc. Therein lies the value of the ministry that the Lord has given to Bro. Cloud. Yes, I am aware that there are other fundamental information sources, but I am unaware of any that will give me such in-depth coverage from a local church, Baptist perspective as well." Calvary Contender editor Jerry Huffman says: O Timothy always has such a wealth of information. I devour each issue! It is a favorite and a big help" Alan Dickerson, head of the Maryland Baptist Bible College, wrote: "I want to say that your magazine O Timothy has been a real blessing to me; it has become a very valuable part of my files of information. ... In these days of serious compromise, your ministry is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work." Click here for more testimonies about O Timothy. Annual single copy subscription price $20/yr. for USA and Canada, $30/yr. foreign. [BULK SUBSCRIPTIONS for 10 or more copies sent to one address are $7.50 per copy per year.

REPENTANCE
IS MORE THAN A SINNER'S PRAYER
Author: DAVID CLOUD
ISBN: 1-58318-062-1
Pages: 100 (5 X 8, perfect bound)
A study on biblical repentance and a timely warning about unscriptural methods of presenting the gospel. The opening chapter, entitled "Fundamental Baptists and Quick Prayerism: A Faulty Method of Evangelism Has Produced a Change in the Doctrine of Repentance," traces the change in the doctrine of repentance among fundamental Baptists during the past 50 years. Chapter Two is an extensive study on biblical repentance and includes what repentance is not, a study of every Bible passage dealing with repentance, repentance defined by preachers of old, illustrations of repentance, and God’s repentance. Chapter Three looks at four "Unscriptural Presentations of Repentance": (1) An Easy Prayerism Presentation: Failing to deal plainly with repentance. (2) An Insufficient Presentation: Failing to define the terms of the Gospel so the hearers plainly understand, and failing to contrast the true Gospel with false gospels. (3) A Positive Presentation: Failing to lay a proper foundation of the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. (4) A Need-Oriented Presentation: Failing to make a distinction between genuine salvation and mere reformation and ritual. Chapter Four is titled "Does Salvation Make a Difference," demonstrating that profession without a corresponding change of life is not biblical salvation. Chapter Five "is "Pentecost vs. Hylescost," contrasting Jack Hyles evangelistic methodology with the Bible. Chapter Six answers questions that commonly arise pertaining to this subject, including "Are you preaching lordship salvation?" and "When repentance is defined as turning to God from sin, isn’t that a works salvation?"Pastor K.R. Senn of Tucson, Arizona, says, "Every Christian should be required to read Repentance Is More Than a Sinner's Prayer." 177 pages, 5X8, perfect bound $9.95

ROME
AND THE BIBLE: Tracing the History of the Roman Catholic Church and Its
Persecution of the Bible and of Bible Believers
Author: DAVID CLOUD
ISBN: 1-58318-003-6
Pages: 327 (5 X 8")
To our knowledge, this is the first history ever published which details the relationship of the Roman Catholic Church to the Bible through the centuries. The author has spent thousands of dollars obtaining rare documents relevant to this history (such as a 1641 edition of Foxe's unabridged Acts and Monuments and researched the topic in important theological libraries in Canada, America, and England, including the British Library. The book covers the Roman Catholic Inquisition from the 11th to the 19th centuries, particularly the role played by the Inquisition to keep translations of the Bible out of the hands of the common people. It contains the history of ancient separated Christians, including the Waldensians and the Lollards. The book could also be titled "The Bible Through the Centuries." It gives the history of the English Bible from John Wycliffe to William Tyndale, and the history of the Spanish, German, French, and Italian Bibles. It contains amazing biographies of royal queens who loved the Bible. It gives the decade-by-decade details of papal condemnations of 19th-century Bible societies and of Roman Catholic persecution in the 19th century. It describes the 20th-century phenomenon of Rome changing tactics and joining hands with the Bible societies. It documents the similarities between the Lat in Vulgate and the modern versions. It answers the question: Has the Roman Catholic Church changed? The book contains 95 illustrations from rare out-of-print books. Dr. Ian Paisley, Martyrs Memorial Presbyterian Church, Belfast, Northern Ireland, commended us for Rome and the Bible and showed us his copy in which he had written the following words: "Brother Cloud is not beclouded!" Third edition revised and enlarged, April 2000, 327 pages, 7X8, perfect bound. $19.95

THINGS
HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD: A Handbook of Biblical DifficultiesISBN: 1-58318-002-8
Pages: 342 (7 X 8", perfect bound)
This volume deals with a wide variety of biblical difficulties. Find the answer to the seeming contradictions in the Bible. Meet the challenge of false teachers who misuse biblical passages to prove their doctrine. Find out the meaning of difficult passages. Be confirmed in your confidence in the inerrancy and perfection of the Scriptures. Learn the meaning of difficult expressions such as "the unpardonable sin." It contains no criticism of the English Authorized Version. One of the things which sets this volume apart from others written on this topic is its practical nature and the fact that it is written from a fundamentalist, Bible-believing Baptist viewpoint. We desire to help protect God's people from the false teachers who abound in these last days. They raise nagging questions and doubts by misusing passages of Scripture to "prove" their specious doctrines. Examples of passages considered in this context are verses misused by Seventh-day Adventists to support their doctrines of soul sleep and annihilation, verses misused by the Roman Catholic Church to support its doctrines of Mary and the Papacy and purgatory, verses used by ecumenists to justify their unscriptural goals, verses used to support infant baptism and baptismal regeneration, and verses misused by those who deny the doctrine of eternal security. 342 pages, 7X8, perfect bound. $19.95
