  • Publisher: Donald S. Fortner
  • Publication Date: 2007
  • Pages: 817

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

In his desire to provide a complete overview of the Scriptures, Fortner spends one chapter on each book of the Old and New Testament, totaling 66 chapters in an astonishing 816 pages.

Discovering Christ in Genesis

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

“This volume is not intended to be a full exposition of the book of Genesis. The purpose is to set forth, simply and clearly, the grace and glory of God in Christ in the opening pages of Holy Scripture.” So states Don Fortner in the preface to this volume; and this is precisely what he does. By commenting on the principal characters to whom God revealed himself in the book of Genesis and the major events of their lives, the author brings to light the presence of Christ and the evidence of God’s great plan of redemption in these opening chapters of the Bible. But he does not leave it there: concerned to impart to the reader a greater appreciation of Christ, the savior of sinners, the author intersperses teaching and application, with the intention of encouraging believers to live lives of worship and committed service to Christ.

How refreshing to find a modern author who believes that the great purpose of holy Scripture is to set forth the person and work of the Son of God as the sinner’s substitute.

—Peace and Truth

Mr. Fortner’s motivation in writing this book is clearly his own devotion to God and his love for the Lord Jesus Christ. He has eminently succeeded in what he wanted to do.

Discovering Christ in Ruth

  • Author: Donald S. Fortner
  • Publisher: Donald S. Fortner
  • Publication Date: 2007
  • Pages: 132

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

Everyone likes a love story with a happy ending. The story of Ruth and Boaz has special appeal to believers, because we see in it an outline of our own spiritual history and of our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, our kinsman redeemer, of whom Boaz was a type. The revealed theme is redemption and grace. Boaz was Ruth’s close relative, the one who had the right to redeem. As such, he portrays our great, incarnate God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who has willingly fulfilled the part of the redeeming relative for us. As we contemplate his great love for us, which far exceeds the love of any on this earth, we are stimulated to deeper love and devotion to him and his service.

This book is a challenge to all in our generation who live by their feelings and not by faith in Christ. You cannot read it and remain the same. It is provocative and demands a response. This is strong medicine, but all who taste it will be made whole!

Discovering Christ in the Song of Solomon

  • Author: Donald S. Fortner
  • Publisher: Donald S. Fortner
  • Publication Date: 2007
  • Pages: 240

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

In many ways the Song of Solomon is the most precious and most refreshing of the books of inspiration. It is a book altogether about fellowship and communion with Christ. It is not in any sense to be interpreted literally. It is spiritual. It is an allegory, a spiritual dialogue between Christ our heavenly bridegroom and the church his bride. All who know the Lord Jesus Christ love him. A true, saving revelation and knowledge of Christ always creates an ardent love for Christ. To know him is to love him. It is not possible for a person to have a saving knowledge of Christ without a true heart of love for Christ. Any who do not love Christ, truly, sincerely, and above all others, simply do not know him.

The application and richness of the gospel is found throughout.

—English Churchman

In due time it will no doubt rank alongside such expositions of the Song of Solomon as those of Dr. Gill and Spurgeon’s Most Holy Place. It is a heart-warming book and is highly recommended to our readers.

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

The entire Bible, both the Old Testament and the New, is a book about the person, work, and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. All the promises and blessings of God given to sinful men and women are in Christ. All the revelation and knowledge of the triune God are in Christ. Christ is not only the central message of Holy Scripture, he is the message of Holy Scripture. To understand that is to have the key that opens the Word of God and reveals its treasures.

Don Fortner shows how that which is true of the whole of Scripture is especially and gloriously true of the last, closing chapters of the volume, the book of Revelation. This last book of the Bible is Christ’s revelation of himself to his servants. It is ‘the Revelation of Jesus Christ.’

The author ably disproves the view that the book of Revelation is too deep and dark for us to understand. God has emphatically promised in the introduction to this book a blessing to the sincere reader and hearer of it, and to the sincere keeper of its words.

Basic Bible Doctrine begins with the question “Why study doctrine?” Composed of 77 detailed chapters, this volume emphasizes the importance of dogma, delving into topics such as election, total depravity, justification, sanctification, and atonement. Fortner’s clarification of the fundamentals of doctrine is a fantastic accompaniment to Bible study.

  • Pages: 208

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

What does it mean to belong to the church of God and what are the privileges and responsibilities involved in membership of a local church? Don Fortner sets out the importance and the essential elements of public worship. He examines the qualities required in the pastor, elders, and deacons, the nature of their work and the way in which the church should support them in that work. He then proceeds to show from Scripture why every true Christian should be a member of a local church and what this involves. Special consideration is given to the place of baptism and the Lord’s Supper in the life and worship of the church and to the financial support of the work of the gospel, both at home and abroad.

This is meat for the soul and it will be a challenge to every thoughtful reader.
