Isaac Watts is known to history as the father of English hymnody. He wrote some 750 hymns, including beloved classics like "Joy to the World" and "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Today, however, Watts' work is increasingly forgotten as many churches follow the latest innovations in worship to the neglect of the great hymns of the faith. In The Poetic Wonder of Isaac Watts, Douglas Bond argues that the grandeur, beauty, and joy of Watts' lyrics, with their rich biblical and theological content, can help the church regain a sense of wonder at the majesty of God, leading to a reform of worship. This book demonstrates how Watts used his poetic gifts in multiple ways for the good of the church in his day. In an age of simplistic and repetitive worship songs, the church must not forget Isaac Watts. By taking his words as our own, Christians today can share in his wonder at Christ and the glories of the world to come, learning how to better praise God. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.

After the Reformation and Puritan eras, Protestantism fell under the assault of modern philosophies that would undermine truths of the faith and diminish vital Christian experience. Yet God did not allow His church to fail. He raised up evangelical leaders who held firm to the authority of Scripture, trusted solely in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, and believed that the historic reality of Christ's atoning death and resurrection provides the only hope of salvation. In Evangelical Heroes, Joel R. Beeke and Douglas Bond present thirty biographical sketches of some of their favorite evangelical leaders of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Immerse yourself in the lives of these men and women, and, by the grace of God alone, you will have models who will not disappoint to imitate throughout your life insofar as they followed Christ.
