Do
You Love Me?
And Other Questions
Jesus Asks
Victor Shepherd

|
| Many
of us have questions about Jesus, but did you know that
Jesus has questions for us? Indeed, as Victor Shepherd
points out in this book, Jesus spent much of his
ministry on earth asking his disciples questions rather
than answering the questions on their agenda. Instead,
he used questions as a way of reshaping and redirecting
his disciples towards the Truth. This is not to say that
Jesus dismisses our questions as trite. Yet because our
hearts are corrupt, we are often asking the wrong
questions. In this book, Victor Shepherd reflects on
twelve important questions that Jesus asked, challenging
us to reflect on the significance of these questions for
us today and bringing these truths to bear upon our
everyday lives. |

Nature
and Function of Faith
in the Theology of John Calvin
Victor
Shepherd
published by Regent Publishing (2004)
Format: Softcover (260 pgs)
ISBN: 1573833282
|
| John
Calvin insisted that all that Jesus Christ has done for us
³benefits us² only as we ³put on² Christ in faith.
Union with Christ (the heart of Calvin¹s theology) occurs
only as the One who has embraced us in grace finds us
embracing him in faith. This book explores the nature and
significance of faith at every point in the Christian
life: faith¹s inception, its development, its weakness,
its forever needing to be strengthened through the
ministry of the church and guided by the law of God. In so
doing this book also relates Calvin¹s doctrine of faith
to the major doctrines that constitute the ³building
blocks² of the Christian faith: justification,
sanctification, predestination, the ³third use of the
law,² the church, the ordained ministry (especially
preaching) and the sacraments. |

It's
not enough to tell aspiring Christians they should pray, says
Victor Shepherd. They need help; in a sense their prayers need
rails to run on. "That's why," he writes, "I
spent as much time preparing the prayers in this volume as I
did working up the meditations." The meditations and the
prayers contained in this volume are biblical,
thought-provoking and relevant. Appropriate for any season
during the year, Ponder and Pray is a helpful
devotional resource for those looking to deepen their prayer
lives and feed on God's Word. |

Witnesses
to the Word
Fifty Profiles of Faithful Servants
Victor A. Shepherd
Clements Publishing Format: Softcover
ISBN: 189466700X
There is no better way
to escape the prejudices and blindspots of the church today than
to study the lives of faithful Christians who have gone before
us. In Witnesses to the Word, Victor Shepherd introduces fifty
faithful servants of Jesus Christ. Some, like Dietrich
Bonhoeffer—executed by Adolf Hitler—have given up their very
lives for the sake of the gospel. Others such as C. S. Lewis and
Soren Kierkegaard have laboured for the sake of the gospel in
the academic, political and literary world. Still others such as
St. Francis of Assisi have much to teach us what it means to
renounce our wealth and serve the poor.

Seasons
of Grace
Thirty Sermons: Pathways from Wilderness to Wonder
Victor A. Shepherd
Clements Publishing 248 pgs
Format: Softcover
ISBN: 1894667018
Everyone faces
spiritual wilderness at some point in life: Transitions in life,
vocational confusion, physical illness or loss of a loved one --
these and many other factors can drive us to a place where God
seems distant or irrelevant. Those who wander through such
difficult times without clear direction often find themselves
spiraling down into a mess of doubt, self accusation, or
depression. In Seasons of Grace Victor Shepherd shows us how to
embrace the God of the Bible, who draws near to us in the midst
of our inescapable wilderness and creates paths to life where
none existed before.

REVIEW "Dr.
Shepherd never pretends we can explain our lives by looking
inward. Rather... we are directed to look outward -- to the One
who keeps us. This is not a trendy pop psychology 'wanna be'
bestseller, but rather a book that speaks a much more profound,
useful and timeless truth." -- David Clarkson, M.D.
