Commendations for Gordon Keddie's new book
The Real Church
Prepare to experience déjà vu when reading Paul’s first epistle to the church at Corinth—the ‘Las Vegas’ of the first-century Roman Empire. In 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses remarkably relevant issues for the twenty-first century church like sexual immorality; the use of spiritual gifts; the role of women in the church; knowledge and pride; division, lawsuits, and church discipline; love and liberty; and even questions about tithing and eschatology. In this gospel-centered, engaging, and pastoral commentary, Gordon Keddie brings clarity to a controversial book and demonstrates the importance of vital holiness among the people of God. Much needed in our ‘corinthianized’ day!

When I come to a challenging book, having more than its fair share of especially difficult passages, I am always thankful for a reliable guide. Gordon Keddie’s level-headed reflections upon 1 Corinthians is just that sort of help. His manner of clearing away complex details gets to the heart of each passage to show believers how each portion of God’s Word helps us. Keddie gives a grounded introduction to Paul’s letter about a church full of problems to show today’s church that Christ’s grace is for churches full of problems.

I am so pleased that Crown and Covenant have undertaken to publish my late brother’s popular commentaries on Pauls’ letters to the Corinthians. Gordon Keddie was one of the most prolific evangelical and reformed authors in recent years of such popular commentaries on books of the Bible. They are consistently sound expository works, lucid, instructive, and challenging, with abundant illustrative material. They are therefore accessible to anyone, young or old, who is concerned to have a faithful understanding of the Biblical text. This commentary on 1 Corinthians falls into that category and, Lord willing, we can look forward to a companion volume on the 2 Corinthians to illuminate the Lord’s message in letters which are perpetually relevant for the Christian and his or her Church and life today.

Commendations for Gordon Keddie's new book
Ten Words from God
A sure sign of the spiritual malaise gripping the Church today is the lack of attention shown to the Ten Commandments. For this reason, a sure-handed guide to God’s Ten Words—which remain essential for godly living—is vitally needed. Keddie clears the confusion, and, with mature insight, provides a valuable commentary on the commandments that God wrote in stone.
Christians will be richly blessed by this engaging book, and the Church will be strengthened with believers who understand God’s will as well as the grace that he provides to keep it.
—Richard D. Phillips
senior minister, Second Presbyterian Church, Greenville, S. C.
How can a believer in Christ live in a way that pleases his heavenly Father? The biblical and Reformed answer is: “By keeping his commandments.” Gordon Keddie’s practical exposition of the Ten Commandments helps us to see why the psalmist would say, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Ps. 119:105). This is a book that will challenge and admonish you, comfort and encourage you, direct and move you.

The prophet Jeremiah promised in the days of the new covenant that the Lord would write his laws on the hearts of his people. Sadly, however, too many in the church remain unaware of or, worse yet, defy this glorious promise. To help guide God’s people into the beauty of knowing and living by the Ten Commandments, prolific author and pastor Gordon Keddie offers this devotionally written and theologically sound book on God’s “Ten Words.” This book should be required reading and discussion for all Christian families and churches!

Prayers of the Bible
Though we may find prayer challenging at the best of times, it remains the preeminent medium in which we bring ourselves before our Lord and Savior. Coming daily before the throne of grace is vital to every Christian's life. The fruit of more than thirty years of prayer meetings undertaken in the congregations Gordon Keddie pastored, these two-page meditations on prayer serve as a means of grace.
All the main prayers of Scripture are included, as are many of the passages that teach about prayer. Each day offers a scripture passage with a meditation, a suggested psalm to sing, and space to write items for prayer--all with the purpose to encourage you to commit to the consistent exercise and enjoyment of prayer.
