“What must I do to be saved?”

This is the message that the book of Galatians seeks to answers. It tells us that there is a gospel message to preach even 2000 years on from when these words were first penned. It presents for us the truth of the gospel, unearthing the central message that righteousness can only be obtained through justification by faith. We are told in no uncertain terms that we cannot have this on our own merit. It considers the original context that there would have been questions as to what of the Jewish custom should be adopted if any as Gentiles joined the church. There were issues that could divide them but above all they needed to preach the gospel and to live lives that were bearing the fruit of God’s word in them. Terry L. Johnson skillfully exposits 22 chapters which look at the theological aspect of Galatians then 18 chapters looking at the practical outworking of the letter. It contains a wealth of material for helping us to live Christian lives; to walk by the Spirit.

Clear exposition, forceful exhortation, and brazen applications are the hallmarks of Terry Johnson’s preaching. Pastor Johnson doesn’t tell us about Galatians; he speaks God’s Word to our hearts from Galatians.

Terry L. Johnson is a sober-minded careful expositor of the Word of God, but he is no dry academician. He carefully examines each passage in its context and seeks to understand both its meaning and its application to life.

There is so much in the past, present and future that we do not understand. The book of Revelation helps us understand who is in full and sovereign control, the victorious Lamb on his throne. And what a great unveiling of the glorious Saviour is revealed in this apocalyptic book! In 65 expositional chapters, Douglas Kelly draws our attention to the central theme of this profound book—the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

What a great blessing it is for the church to regain clarity about the message of Revelation! Kelly’s commentary will prove invaluable in restoring this vital message to the pulpits of our churches and the lives of suffering believers.

The book of Deuteronomy finds the Israelites on the cusp of entering the land that had been promised to them since the days of Abraham. This second giving of the law is to be the bedrock of the society they build—to be people identified as the people of Yahweh. Douglas F. Kelly helpfully exposits this book considering not only its importance to the original hearers, but also the impact it has for the church today. The Mentor Expository Series holds to an inerrant view of Scripture. The series is thoroughly researched with helpful practical application. This is a resource for pastors and Bible teachers who want to draw on Christ–centered expository teaching and for the lay reader who wants to delve more deeply into the riches of the Word of God.
