"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage." (Philippians 1:20)

This short (56 pages) and provocative book will refresh your heart amidst all the battles going on in the Church of England right now, and focus your attention on the Lord who alone can save us.
These are difficult days for those who pastor God’s people. In many parts of the world, especially in the West, culture and society have turned away from their Christian past, as if from something both passé and repulsive. Churches are profoundly divided over how to cope with this disorientating situation, and there is much unseemly confrontation. It is no wonder then that many people who might previously have considered giving their lives to full–time ministry in the church are now uneasy and uncertain at the prospect.
And yet it is at just such a time — when huge swathes of the population are ignorant of even the basics of the faith, and churchgoers are often left confused and bewildered by the deep public rifts in the church — that we need trustworthy spiritual guides.
Paul, an apostle, missionary church planter, and a pastor of great experience, wrote to Timothy and Titus, his trusted younger colleagues in the ministry. They were facing huge challenges in serving the gospel, trying to keep their churches safe from charlatans and false teaching while doing the work of an evangelist in places famously full of idolatry, immorality, and entrenched opposition. Paul’s letters gave them the guidance they needed in such a moment, to keep them on track. And his words contain vital instruction for those in the ministry today.
With chapters by Ros Clarke, Rachel Browning, Lee Gatiss, and Rob Munro.

This book, which originated in talks at the Junior Anglican Evangelical Conference, will help you understand and cultivate the characteristics you need to face difficult situations with the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus.
“The dreadful ignorance as to the fundamentals of our holy religion, that almost everywhere abounds amongst the members of our established church, is chiefly owing to our neglect of preaching and putting into their hands the grand doctrines of the Reformation, contained in these Homilies.” George Whitefield (1714-1770)
“The Homilies are a pattern of simplicity and godly sincerity. In their mode of stating divine truth, and enforcing it upon the conscience, they never have been excelled by any composition whatever.” Charles Simeon (1759-1836)
“Here we have up-to-date language and inspirational content. I commend this book to you as being challenging, educational, readable,
relevant, and necessary for all serious Anglicans throughout the world.” Bishop Henry Scriven General Secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of the Anglican Communion.
The Protestant Reformers of the sixteenth century also found wisdom and guidance in these letters. For example, Martin Luther reminded the Christians of his day that Paul had encouraged believers "not to sorrow over the dead as others who have no hope, but to comfort each other with God's Word as having a certain hope of life and of the resurrection of the dead."
In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture, Lee Gatiss and Bradley Green guide readers through a diversity of early modern commentary on the epistles of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. Readers will hear from familiar voices and discover lesser-known figures from a variety of theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. Drawing upon a variety of resources—including commentaries, sermons, treatises, and confessions—much of which appears here for the first time in English, this volume provides resources for contemporary preachers, enables scholars to better understand the depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, and seeks to bring guidance and comfort in the midst of today's challenges.
A stellar cast of Anglican pastors and theologians from around the world reflect on the foundational teachings of global Anglicanism.

“We consider this book as God speaking to the Church again. Without reservations, therefore, we commend and recommend this book to all Anglicans of the GAFCON family, and Christians everywhere, who yet seek after God and his kingdom through Jesus Christ.” Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, Chairman of the GAFCON Primates’ Council.
“Foundations of Faith is compulsory reading for all clergy in my diocese in the Church of Nigeria, and there are exams on it for canons and archdeacons. We rejoice greatly in this testimony of our Anglican faith and in the courage of Church Society in a militantly secular Europe.” Archbishop Ben Kwashi, General Secretary of GAFCON and Archbishop of Jos.
