Product Description

Combines a serious examination of the state of today'schurch and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of gracefound in the confessional truths of the Reformation.

Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort ofsuccess-big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches-these are not gooddays for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasinglydifficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from theirnon-Christian neighbors-all because the gospel of grace has beenneglected.

In this work, now in paperback, the late James Montgomery Boiceidentifies what's happened within evangelicalism and suggests howthe confessional statements of the Reformation-Scripture alone,Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone, and glory to God alone-canignite full-scale revival. "A church without these convictions hasceased to be a true church, whatever else it may be," he wrote, but"if we hold to these doctrines, our churches and those we influencewill grow strong."

"Boice was right to point out that to mischaracterizeworldliness 'is to trivialize what is a far more serious and farmore subtle problem.'" Burnside Writer's Collective

"Boice explains how the five doctrinal truths that transformedthe world during the Reformation not only offer the solution butcan shape a renewal today among God's people." WRGNNetwork

The Final Book From James Montgomery Boice--A Jewel!
This was the last book Pastor Boice wrote before his death in June 2000 and I must say he really left us with a true jewel. His book, "Whatever Happened to the Gospel of Grace?", is divided into three parts and it's almost like getting three books in one volume. Part One (Our Dying Culture) is a straight forward, no nonsense critical analysis of our modern evangelical church. Boice describes a church that spends more time developing programs designed toward success (does it work?) and messages that are focused on the congregation's felt need and a dedication to growing a mega-church instead of fulfilling God's calling by protecting and feeding the flock of God through the Word of God. He contends the focus of the church has been turned inward, becoming a man-centered business rather than God-centered worshipers, rightly giving God alone the glory (soli Deo gloria). Boice's criticism becomes stern at times in this section. But anyone familiar with Pastor Boice, personally or through his writings, knows this is just a reflection of his great pastor's heart.

Just like an epistle, after carefully pointing out the problems in the modern church, he moves into Parts Two and Three describing the practical remedy to a lost and wandering church. Part Two (Doctrines that Shook the World) covers the five "solas" of the Reformation (Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone and Glory to God Alone). Boice was at his best in this section section, providing one of the clearest, most concise and biblically supported study of this area of theology I have read. He dedicates a chapter to each of the solas. I especially appreciate his use of the relevant texts, focused explanations, and very effective applications of each principle.

After completing an excellent doctrinal section, Boice moves into Part Three (The Shape of Renewal)which is his application of the first two sections. I enjoyed parts of this last section, but not as much as the first two. Boice allows his personal preferences to really come to the forefront and this section will probably draw most of the criticism of the book. This section has a number of worthwhile parts and takes on more of an outline format, especially Chapter Nine, which I found to be the most helpful area of Part Three. For whatever reason, I felt Boice lost his focus in Chapter Eight and wandered around a little in his presentation of different aspects of true worship, which will be what I think is the most controversial part of the book. I have already noticed one reviewer really took exception to the information in this chapter.

Overall, this was an excellent book and a worthwhile read and addition to any library. It's not written beyond the younger Christian, nor too shallow for the more mature Christian, either. I recommend this book. Part Two alone is worth the price of admission.

A must read for true Christians (especially leaders)
On June 15, 2000, God took James Montgomery Boice home to glory. He left behind some great books. His final book, however, which was actually published after his promotion, could not have been more appropriate or a more fitting legacy. Titled Whatever Happened to the Gospel of Grace? with the added subtitle Rediscovering the Doctrines That Shook the World, this book well addresses the contemporary church and how it has drifted far from its biblical and historical foundations.

In Part 1, Boice outlines the problem in two chapters: "The New Pragmatism" and "The Pattern of this Age." He masterfully demonstrates how secularism, humanism, relativism, materialism, and pragmatism have not only infiltrated the church but have now inundated it (my words). It is his contention, and I think it impossible to refute him, is that the church as a whole is, in virtually every area, embracing the world's wisdom, theology, agenda, and methods (his words). That sets the stage for what follows.

Part 2, "The Doctrines That Shook the World," is the heart of the book. In five chapters, Boice lays out in wonderful detail the five solas of the Reformation. Concerning "Scripture Alone" (sola scriptura), he writes:

"The most serious issue [facing the church today], I believe, is the Bible's sufficiency. Do we believe that God has given us what we need in this book? Or do we suppose that we have to supplement the Bible with human things? Do we need sociological techniques to do evangelism, pop psychology and pop psychiatry for Christian growth, extra-biblical signs or miracles for guidance, or political tools for achieving social progress and reform?" (p. 72)

Concerning "Christ Alone" (Solus Christus), after discussing three essential words for understanding what the Cross was about--satisfaction, sacrifice, and substitution--Boice then concludes:

"It has been a popular idea in some theological circles that the Incarnation is the important truth of Christianity . . . and that the Atonement is something like an afterthought. . . . To focus on the birth of Jesus apart from the Cross leads to false sentimentality and neglect of the horror and magnitude of sin. . . . Any "gospel" that talks merely about the Christ-event, meaning the Incarnation without the Atonement, is a false gospel. Any gospel that talks about the love of God without showing that love led him to pay the ultimate price for sin in the person of his Son on the Cross, is a false gospel. The only true gospel is the gospel of the "one mediator" who gave himself for us (1 Tim. 2: 5, 6). If our churches are not preaching this gospel, they are not preaching the gospel at all, and if they are not preaching the gospel, they are not true churches. Evangelicalism desperately needs to rediscover its roots and recover its essential biblical bearing . . ." (p. 105)

I was very glad for what I read in "Grace Alone (sola gratia) concerning Jonathan Edwards' contribution to the "free will" debate in his book The Freedom of the Will, in which he actually proved it is not free. As Boice recounts, while most people think the will is its own entity and therefore free to make a choice, Edwards viewed the will as part of the mind, which means that we choose what the mind thinks is most desirable. Boice goes on to further report that Edwards discussed not only the mind but also motives, which drive the mind to choose the things that are best. The crux again, however, is that man's mind does not want God or His sovereign rule because he doesn't think that is better. He wants his sin and invariably chooses it because he thinks that is better.

Of "Faith Alone" (sola fide) Boice addresses today's abandonment of the very essence of true, biblical faith:

"For many evangelicals faith is only mental assent to certain doctrines. It is something we exercise once at the start of our Christian lives, after which we can live more or less in any way we please. It does not matter in terms of our salvation whether or not this "faith" makes a difference. Some evangelicals even teach that a person could be saved and secure if he or she possessed a dead or dying faith or, incredible as this seems, if he or she apostatizes, denying Christ. In contrast to such an eviscerated faith, throughout church history most Bible teachers have insisted that saving, biblical faith has three elements: "knowledge, belief, and trust," as Spurgeon put it; "awareness, assent, and commitment," as D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones said" (pp. 137-138).

Concerning "Glory to God Alone" (Soli Deo Gloria), Boice writes:

"No people ever rise higher than their idea of God. Conversely, the loss of the sense of God's high and awesome character always leads to the loss of a people's highest ideals, moral values, and even what we commonly call humanity, not to mention the loss of understanding and appreciation for the most essential Bible doctrines. . . . We deplore the breakdown of moral standards in the church, even among its most visible leaders. But what do we think should happen when we have focused on ourselves and our own, often trivial needs rather than on God, ignoring his holiness and excusing our most blatant sins? To listen to many contemporary sermons one would think man's chief end is to glorify himself and cruise the malls" (pp. 151-152).

Part 3, "The Shape of Renewal," offers two chapters--"Reforming Our Worship" and "Reforming Our Lives"--that challenge us to renounce the "circus" atmosphere and the "what's in it for me" attitude that pervades today's churches and return to true Christian worship. While there are a couple of things in this section that bothered me--such as a praising of Brother Lawrence, for example--these do not diminish the pointed and powerful challenge for reformation. As for the individual Christian, Boice challenges in that last chapter that

"the five areas in which the lives of today's Christians most need renewal are: 1) a fresh awareness of God's presence, 2) repentance, 3) an ordering of our lives by that which is invisible, 4) Christian community, and 5) Christian service. Significantly, these things will be developed in us as we begin to recover and actually live by the essential doctrines that I have been exploring in this book: [the five solas]" (p. 192).

I cannot recommend this book highly enough and strongly encourage every Christian (especially leaders) to read it, heed its warning, and follow its counsel. As Boice writes, "I would like to see the beginning of a new Reformation in our day, and I hope you would like to see it too and are praying for it" (p. 65). Well, our dear brother did not live to see it. Perhaps we will. Are you praying for it?

Disappointing, although worth reading for contrast.
Wow, this book really disappointed me. The theology in it - largely reformed - was great. I'm pretty reformed in my own theology, and there was a nice treatment of the five solas in this book (sola gratia, sola fide, sola Christus, sola Scriptura, and sola Deo gloria).

But the real problems are in the false dichotomy (division) that Boice draws between churches that are sound theologically, and churches that aren't. He supposed (incorrectly) that if you believe in the sufficiency of Scripture, you will only sing hymns, avoid all contemporary worship, return to lengthy pastoral prayers during morning worship, and reject any contextualization of the gospel beyond running water and electricity.

He then goes on to suggest that anyone who takes up a 21st (or even 20th) century contextualization - using modern worship, or any sort of program at all - is saying Scripture is insufficient. It's a silly proposition, although one I'm seeing a lately. It weakened the book significantly.

A Foundational Work for Reforming Your Church
"Whatever Happened to the Gospel of Grace?" is one of James Montgomery Boice's final books. He wrote it in response to what he believed to be the ignorance of God and neglect of the gospel of grace as the root problem of the church today. Instead of a focus on God and His gospel, the church has become focused on worldly success-large memberships, large budgets, programs up the wazoo, a nosedive in worship. Boice's belief was that only a return to the Word of God can change the state of today's church.

Boice felt that the major emphasis of this change should be centered around the five foundational truths of the Protestant Reformation; that is, the modern church must have as its central confession the Five Solas of the Reformation. "Sola Scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, and soli Deo gloria" must once again become the standard of theology and practice in our churches if we are ever to hope for a second Reformation. By the way, for those reading who don't know what these are, those Latin terms mean "Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, and Glory to God Alone."

Boice presents a convincing argument that we as a church have abandoned these five foundational principles. We have abandoned the sufficiency of Scripture; abandoned the exclusivity of the Gospel; abandoned a salvation given, not earned; abandoned trust in God through Jesus alone as the way of salvation; and abandoned the exaltation of the Creator rather than the creature. Instead we have taken on worldly substitutes that are but pale imitations. We have replaced sufficiency with ambiguity; exclusivity with relativism; the free gift with a salvation of works; surrender at our inability with self-confidence; and humble deference and awe with arrogant self-esteem or self-importance. Boice examines each of these five "solas" individually, building a case for each as the standard for Christian practice.

He then moves toward application in the areas of worship and life. Boice does excellently in outlining the failures of modern worship techniques and concepts, showing them to be largely man-focused rather than God-focused. He points out very glaringly the Godward thrust of the old hymns, and challenges the reader to consider worship that has a Godward focus rather than personal enrichment.

The final chapter on reforming our lives I found to be somewhat disappointing. While Boice soundly hammered home what is necessary to achieve reformation in our lives-i.e. lives of repentance, lives of faith, and lives of community-but he does little to give the reader practical suggestions of how to achieve this. He is long on theory in this chapter but short on application. I find myself wondering if this chapter was actually published unfinished.

All in all, this book is a great precursor to his final book, "The Doctrines of Grace." Indeed, they seem to be meant to be read in tandem, this one first and "The Doctrines of Grace" second. I would recommend this book to all of us; particularly one who is looking to bring about change in his or her church or ministry.

Product Description
Orchids in any setting make for a beautiful sight, but native orchids growing in their natural habitats offer an especially rewarding view for plant enthusiasts, naturalists, and nature lovers of all ages. South Carolina hosts a rich potpourri of these enormously popular wildflowers, thanks in large part to its unique position as the lower boundary of more northerly species and upper boundary of species found in Florida and the gulf states. In Wild Orchids of South Carolina, James Alexander Fowler captures with spectacular photography and encyclopedic knowledge the full glory of the state’s native orchid population. From the bogs and bays of the coastal plain to the mountain woodlands, Fowler catalogs rare and widely distributed species, offering a wealth of information for identifying these prized plants.

In addition to providing photographs of each species, Fowler includes common and scientific names, flower descriptions, bloom times, ranges, habitats, pollinators, and refreshingly candid personal observations about the orchids as he encountered them in the wild. He details his experiences of coming upon a show-stopping colony of large yellow lady’s slipper orchids (Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens) and of locating the rare monkey-face orchid (Platanthera integrilabia).

Paul Martin Brown, a nationally renowned botanist and wild-orchid specialist, provides an introduction to the volume. He explains South Carolina’s significance in the larger context of North American orchid habitats and prepares the reader for the striking display of beauty and information assembled in this volume. ...

An invaluable tool
This book is for anyone interested in native plants in South Carolina.The research is solid, and the book is well written. But it is the stories and the pictures that will stay with you. It's a highly informative book that is rooted in the both the history and the future of each flower.Beautiful photographs provide a firsthand viewing of all the known native orchids in South Carolina.It is a superb book.

Finally, a book focusing exclusively on orchids in South Carolina.
A must have compendium of SC species presented in a first-hand accounting of one man's remarkable journey with these plants. Each has a photo of a grouping in situ and closeups of floral parts, there is room for notes and extensive explanations of habitat needs, personal observations, recollections and recommendations for where you might find the plant. This is an exceptional book and I highly recommend it. I recently had an opportunity to correspond with the author and his intoxication with our wild orchids is contageous and enlightening. ...

At Walden Pond, Thoreau found the setting which would inspire his famous musings on the nature of existence and the foibles of society. Jones and Thom take similar inspiration from the Southern Indiana hill country where they live and work, and in consort provide a beautiful and insightful meditation on the meaning of place and the value of community. 50 color photos.Amazon.com Review
A delightful book of photographs ably supported by text,The Spirit of the Place is a celebration of the subtle ratherthan the spectacular. Although Indiana cannot lay claim tosensational snowcapped mountains such as the Rockies or vastgeological formations such as the Grand Canyon, her gently rollinghills stained with autumn colors and her creekbeds sculpted by winterice possess a quieter, no less profound beauty.

PhotographerDarryl Jones not only finds this beauty, but he translates it withbreathtaking immediacy: a field of black-eyed Susans against acloudless blue sky; morning light playing against a complicatedpattern of rows of cut hay; sunset reflected in the ripples of apond--this is the understated beauty of southern Indiana's hillcountry. Accompanying these sublime images is James Alexander Thom'slyrical prose, which tells the story of the places and the people whosettled them. The Spirit of the Place is contemplative,harmonious, and profound. ... Read more

James Alexander Thom writes so beautifully!
I love Indiana and this author apparently does too.This is a beautifully written and illustrated book.

A wonderful coffee table book that espouses the beauty of much-maligned Indiana
Photographer Darryl Jones and author James Alexander Thom teamed together to make a wonderful little book about the natural beauty of the southern Indiana hill country. Thom's text complements Jones' photographs wonderfully.

Being a native Hoosier, I have an appreciation for the subtle beauties of the state. Jones does as well. Most of his pictures are taken in hilly Owen county. He captures every season, as well as forest, field, stream, farm, and town scenes.

Thom's text is part biography and part stories he heard growing up in Owen County. If you are a fan on Thom's other works, this one will be a nice addition. If you've never heard of Thom, this is a great place to get to know him and his motivations as an author.

I give this one an 'A'. ... Read more

Seems expensive, but hey!It works!
I have been homeschooling for seven years now, and have been constantly thwarted about handwriting with my 7-year-old son though my older daughter has been happy with the Getty-Dubay Italic series.

He didn't like the Getty-Dubay.He liked Draw, Write Now for the drawing, but not the writing.I've tried copywork and tricking him into writing letters to Santa.Basically, for a bright kid, he really hates writing.

Well, then I bought this workbook.He skipped straight to the second book and regularly photocopies three pages every day to work on.He really enjoys it, because it's more about drawing and pen control than it is about writing letters.Each page has a different design he's supposed to copy or complete.

Meanwhile, my younger two are diving into the first book.Even my 3-year-old is drawing circles around the big triangles, within the little triangles, and all the other fun little exercises.

They don't know it's handwriting, but they like it! ... Read more

Best Most Caring Gift U Can Ever Give Someone!
I have been buying these with part of my tithe and handing them out to all my neighbors one at a time. It will be awhile but my goal it to give everyone in my neighborhood this and then expand outward. This bible on cd makes so much easier for people to get into the Bible it is awesome and life changing.When you give this as a gift your are literally putting God into people's lives as the Word says that the word was with God and the word was God and that is Jesus Christ. So give the greatest gift you can, give Jesus to others through his powerful word in the most easily accesible way. Great gift for anyone you know who is blind also.

Most happy
We have had the cassette tapes of the Bible with Alexander Scourby narrating.We liked them immensely, so we got them in CDs now.They are excellent, and his voice is the best.

Excellent Study Tool
This is an excellent study resource for drive time and other times when reading the Bible is impractical or impossible. Sound quality isn't the best, as this is not a slick whiz-bang production, with lots of bells and whistles. But it is acceptable. Just the KJV of the Bible, and only that, wonderfully read by Alexander Scourby. The Authorized 1611 King James Version is THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD, so any other Bible version is just a storybook as far as I am concerned. Some discs skip towards the end, and editing could have been better. Most discs end part way into a chapter, so editing should have been done with delineation at the beginning of chapters, but not a major problem. As stated earlier, an excellent resource, but should not replace actual reading and study of God's word for oneself. Anyone who is a minister or a serious student of the Bible and its history lessons and timeless truths should own a copy of this.

Majestic!
I remember Alexander Scourby's voice from his excellent narrations of Civil War Centennial documentaries in the early 1960s. You don't forget it. The majesty in his voice is ideal for capturing the majesty of the King James Version. His inflection, precise enunciation, timing and overall quality are near perfection. I have been listening to his readings while following along with a facsimilie edition of the 1611 Bible. It's a pleasure, an ideal way to receive and enjoy the Word. If you don't prefer the King James, I'm sure there are good readings of other versions. I doubt, though, if the reader can match Scourby.
