Modern Pharisaism—Jan Philip Svetlik

April 2026:

Pharisaism. It sounds like ancient history, but it’s surprisingly relevant today. A great challenge for every Christian! Outwardly, the Pharisees appeared flawless. Well versed in the Holy Scriptures. But behind the scenes? Pride, strict rules and the pursuit of human approval. The mirror of the Pharisees often reveals more about us than we care to admit. But it also offers a wonderful opportunity: to become free. This book tells it like it is, provides food for thought and asks: Where do we put more emphasis on pretence rather than on substance? Where do we confuse separation with arrogance? What priorities does God set–and what priorities do we set? And how do we deal with traditions in the right way? Those who have the courage to face this mirror will discover the path that leads to freedom.

One is your Master, even Christ—Eckhard Bubenzer [Spanish]

January 2026:

This book is written for everyone who desires to serve the Lord. In this sense it concerns every Christian—every true believer! The New Testament gives basic principles important for co-operation in the Lord's work. Christ in heaven is Lord of the harvest. Living in dependence upon Him is the key to any situation in His service. There are differences of administrations, but the same Lord (1 Cor. 12:5). Recognising these fundamental principles, Eckhard Bubenzer has written this book, which may be regarded as a handbook for all believers who desire to faithfully labour in service for Christ at home or abroad. It provides answers to frequently asked questions about the calling, the sending, and the support of those who serve God. The relationship between the assembly (the church) and the servant is also considered. Our brother has given numerous quotations from the writings of faithful servants, from the past and present, and has given references to their practical experiences, to underline the principles of the Word of God. The publishers wish to encourage and help all those who are sincere in their desire to serve the Lord. This book provides scriptural counsel for harmonious co-operation in the Lord's work.

Maybe Today—Jan Philip Svetlik [Spanish]

October 2025:

Today we are on the verge of one of the most powerful events in human history: Jesus Christ is coming again!

In the twinkling of an eye, millions of born-again Christians will suddenly disappear from this world and be raptured to heaven. This is the wonderful hope that God presents to us in His Word—and this hope can become reality at any time!

The Lord hasn’t given us an exact time for His coming because He wants us to expect Him every day. Church history shows the effects that this expectation can have. But what does it mean for our lives today? This book challenges the reader to live in active anticipation of the Lord’s coming. When that happens, our lives will surely change. We’ll do things we wouldn’t have done before—and we’ll use the short time we have left for eternity!

Paperback, 220 pages (120 x 180mm pocket book format)

In the Master's Footsteps—Jan Philip Svetlik [French]

August 2025:

God’s objective with our lives is that we become more and more like His Son. But how does this work in concrete terms? What can we do to achieve this objective and what tools has God given us so that it becomes more and more a reality in our daily lives.

The key is to have the example of Jesus before our eyes and to allow ourselves to be shaped and changed by Him. The Master said: “Learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart” (Mt. 11:29). This is exactly what this book is about: it shines the spotlight on a quality that the Lord demonstrated in perfection—His meekness—and then applies it to our lives.

With the help of many examples from the life of Jesus and numerous illustrations from church history, the reader is challenged and urged to be more meek towards God and towards others and thus to follow in the Master’s footsteps.

Baptism: What is it, and does it save?—Tim Hadley Sr.

July 2025:

Baptism and the breaking of bread are the two basic ordinances that we as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ have been given. That’s why the subject of baptism is extremely important. There are many facets to it.

Over the years it has caused much controversy in some Christian circles. The aim of this booklet certainly isn’t to cause more controversy but rather to get an understanding of what the Bible says about baptism. What is it? What does it mean? What does it do for the follower of Christ?

These and other questions Tim answers in this booklet. Some of these other questions are: What is the difference between “baptism of repentance” (Acts 19:4) and the water baptism given by instruction of the Lord Jesus at the Great Commission and practiced by the disciples? Additionally, is the baptism of the Holy Spirit the same thing as water baptism? And what is the baptism by fire?

Paperback, 32 pages, 120 x 180 mm.

A Pertinent Question—Frank Wallace

July 2025:

Today the cry is going up continually from all quarters, “What is wrong with our meetings?” We look around and see declining numbers, weakness, confusion, even disobedience. What is wrong with our meetings? It’s the people in them!

How do we remedy this? Frank Wallace takes up parts of Romans 12 and Colossians 3 to show us what to do and to show us what needs to change in our lives.

The address that forms the basis for this little booklet was given 35 years ago, and it seems as if we have not learned much from our mistakes…

May the Lord help all of us to be more faithful to His Word and become more Christ-like, so that there will be a change for the better in our gatherings!

Jesus' Prayer Life—Wolfgang Bühne

March 2025:

No other subject so clearly reflects our spiritual poverty, sluggishness and lack of strength, and nothing shames and humbles us more, than the subject of our prayer life.

And yet there was One who could be asked about His prayer life at any time, the One who could say of Himself in truth and with authority: “I am prayer”! (Ps. 109:4 ESV footnote)

This book is first and foremost about the remarkable and challenging example of this one Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, whose prayer life is described in most detail in the Gospel of Luke. But it also taps into the lives and experiences some impressive characters from the Bible and church history.

If anything can motivate and inspire us to give prayer the proper place in our lives, it is the moving accounts of the prayer life of the true Servant and Son of God while He was walking here on this earth.

God wants us to know Him better and better. For when we do, we will trust Him more wholeheartedly, enjoy deeper fellowship with Him and worship Him with greater admiration. That’s why this book has been written.
