Calvin in the Public Square: Liberal Democracies, Rights, and Civil Liberties (The Calvin 500 Series)
This volume examines Calvin’s thought and impact on political ideas. Not only does it set forth the Reformer’s political ideas in his own words from multiple sources but it also shows how his germinal political ideas were furthered and spread by his disciples, both in Europe and to the West.

Calvin’s disciples—beginning with Theodore Beza, Francois Hotman, John Ponet, and John Knox—spread many of the ideas that are now widely accepted in free governments. Historically, there is a clear before and a discernible after in terms of governmental forms, and Calvinism is one of the major fuel rods for that massive change.

Psalms 42–72 (Reformed Expository Commentary | REC)
In the inspired poems of the Psalms, we find the full range of human emotions laid bare before the heart of God. Pastor-theologian Richard D. Phillips provides thoughtful, devotional commentary on the psalms of Book 2 (Psalms 42–72), which is distinctive for its variety of authors. He shows that in the spiritual walk of faith, these psalmists take believers by the hand and guide us in our communion with God, pointing always to Christ.

Overview
The message is basic but profound. We want guests to know they are
welcome to the church. This book is a gift to guests to communicate that
very message.
Bestselling author Thom S. Rainer (I Am a Church Member, Autopsy of a
Deceased Church) has created a tool for churches to become more
hospitable through a brief, welcoming book that introduces the ministry
of the local church to guests. We Want You Here is a clear and
instructive message to be given to church guests. Rainer facilitates the
follow up conversation that every pastor would have, if they had the
opportunity. By giving away the book to guests, they are encouraged, in a
non-intrusive manner, to continue to reflect on the decision to visit
their church.
Those churches who share We Want You Here will be able to tell their guests:
• We Really Want You Here
• This is Not a Place for Perfect People
• We Would Like to Get to Know You
• This is Where Families Grow Strong
• Getting to Know the One Who Made Us
• Come Make a Difference with Us
• Thank You for Being Here
