Chosen for Life: The Case for Divine Election

• Author: Sam Storms
• Publisher: Crossway
• Publication Date: 2007
• Pages: 240

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Storms begins his analysis of divine election with an attempt to clarify precisely what is at stake and, at the same time, correct misrepresentations of it. He takes a thorough look at the doctrine as it is presented in Romans 9 and the rest of the New Testament. He also explores free will and the order of salvation. Appendixes address “Three Problem Passages” and “Who Can and Cannot Pray for God to Save the Lost?”

Sam Storms’ Chosen for Life is well-conceived, well-reasoned, and well-written, with its arguments anchored in the Scriptures. It is fair, thorough, and up-to-date regarding the controversies that swirl around this vital biblical doctrine.

The Hope of Glory: 100 Daily Meditations on Colossians

• Author: Sam Storms
• Publisher: Crossway
• Publication Date: 2008
• Pages: 368

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In The Hope of Glory, author Sam Storms helps you achieve a careful reading of Colossians. Combining stylistic simplicity and theological substance, Storms writes for all Christians who are passionate about knowing Christ better. Each of the 100 daily meditations can be read in five to ten minutes, so even the busiest believer can take the time to read and digest them. The result is a thorough analysis of the entire book of Colossians, broken down into manageable meditations that encourage, instruct, and uplift.

Many devotional books lack biblical and theological depth. Storms’ work is a striking exception. His meditations on Colossians faithfully communicate the message of the letter so that readers are enriched both biblically and theologically. Moreover, the meaning of Colossians is applied with wisdom and power so that I found myself encouraged, convicted, and challenged. Here is evangelical theology at its best.

More Precious than Gold: 50 Daily Meditations on the Psalms

• Author: Sam Storms
• Publisher: Crossway
• Publication Date: 2009
• Pages: 288

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

In More Precious than Gold, Storms combines years of life experience with his biblical and theological training to bring readers 50 brief, daily meditations that are both accessible and substantive. Each meditation includes a historical or theological reflection on the psalm in context, a story that brings it alive, and creative tools to support the key idea. Storms interweaves the words of such luminaries as Charles Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, and John Piper to help readers understand the Psalms concepts: worship, prayer, joy, forgiveness, steadfast love, mercy, sin’s consequences, the law of the Lord, and our relationship with our enemies.

The book of Psalms is green pastures and still waters for real people in hard times. More Precious than Gold provides what no money can buy—direct personal access to the refreshment God gives only through his Word.

This volume serves those both inside and outside the academic realm as valuable preparation for, or a companion guide to, a reading of Edwards’ Religious Affections.
