| This week, Ned B. Stonehouse’s biography of J. Gresham Machen is available at 30% off (£12.25 £17.50). Machen was one of the foremost defenders of orthodox Christianity in the first part of the twentieth century. Early on in his life, however, he was strongly tempted by theological ‘liberalism,’ and almost made a shipwreck of his faith.
The grace of God sustained Machen and he would go on to contend with liberalism ‘as one who had felt its warm embraces, so that he grasped the nature of the conflict, as it were, from within.' (Nick Needham, Shapers of Christianity).
Anyone wishing to find out about Machen, who had many of the qualities of Bunyan’s Mr. Valiant-for-Truth, will find much to stimulate and encourage in Stonehouse’s book. |

In What is Faith? Machen addresses one of the most fundamental questions about the Christian gospel. In his graceful style he expounds the biblical teaching on faith, combining the solid content of the truth with the personal challenge of the gospel. The result is a book of outstanding and permanent value.

Machen explains, for Christians and non-Christians alike, how the Bible serves as a mirror to show us who we are. In simple yet careful language, Machen deals with such subjects as creation, man as the image of God, the fall, sin, God’s providence and care, and God’s restoring grace.

In these messages, Machen expounds the greatness and glory of God, the wonder and power of the gospel and the exhilaration of serving Christ in the front line of spiritual warfare. They show why Machen fought so tenaciously for biblical truth against error: ‘It is impossible to be a true soldier of Jesus Christ and not fight’.
