What can God’s creation teach us about ourselves, our communities, and modern Christianity?

Includes Foreword by New York Times bestselling author, pastor, and Spurgeon admirer John MacArthur.
First published in 1882, Talks to Farmers is a collection of nineteen of Spurgeon’s best-known sermons. Within each chapter, Spurgeon artfully breaks down biblical parables, psalms, and passages through an agricultural lens to teach you timeless spiritual truths and deepen your relationship with Christ. Updated for today’s reader, this new edition of Talks to Farmers is designed to cultivate your faith along the way.
Talks to Farmers is a hopeful, encouraging read for every Christian. Convicting and enlightening, Spurgeon’s style of dissecting a verse and beautifully weaving it back together for its true purpose–to point us to Christ, our everlasting source of hope and joy–truly shines in this modern edition of Talks to Farmers.
Throughout Talks to Farmers, Spurgeon shares the essential life lessons he’s learned about:
*The importance of developing a healthy prayer life
*How implementing a practice of gratitude can change your perspective on the world forever
*What God’s creation can teach us about humanity, society, and modern Christianity
*The power of our day-to-day observations of nature
*The incredible variety of ways in which faith journeys can unfold
*How God cares for us, just as he cares for every creature on earth
Nearly 140 years after these sermons were first delivered, Spurgeon’s inspirational messages continue to prove practical and relevant for modern believers, drawing from salt-of-the-earth stories from the Bible that explore our relationship with both God and his creation.

Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth
$22.99God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice.
Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn’t social is like talking about water that isn’t wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible’s call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to “truly execute justice.” The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to “test everything” and “hold fast to what is good.”
Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to “truly execute justice” as Scripture commands. Not everything called “social justice” today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include:
Racism
Sexuality
Socialism
Culture War
Abortion
Tribalism
Critical Theory
Identity PoliticsConfronting Injustice without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including:

Walt SobchakIn Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God’s image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life’s biggest questions.
