A Primer on the Art of Expository Preaching
In our modern day pulpit speakers cause the people of God to groan under the weight of shallow anecdotes and lifeless performances, "A Primer on the Art of Expository Preaching" calls "preachers" back to the sacred task of rightly dividing the Word of truth. With the clarity of a craftsman and the conviction of a herald, C. Matthew McMahon sets forth the forgotten essentials of sermon preparation, doctrinal precision, and Spirit-filled delivery. This is not a book for the academic shelf, padded with footnotes and obscured by jargon. It is a working manual-clear, forceful, and uncompromising. With careful instruction drawn from Scripture, the Reformers, the Puritans, and thirty years of pastoral labor in preaching, McMahon walks the preacher through the weighty calling of proclaiming God's Word: from exegesis and outlining, to doctrinal development, to application and homiletics. Every chapter presses the point-this work is holy work, and must be done precisely for the glory of Jesus Christ. Whether you are a seasoned minister or newly entering the pulpit, this volume will sharpen your understanding, convict your heart, and deepen your resolve. Preaching is not public speaking. It is not suggestion. It is the ordinance God uses to convert, to sanctify, and to shake the gates of hell. And if a man refuses the labor it demands, let him get out of the pulpit and into the pew. Read this book slowly. Pray as you go. Look to Christ. Then preach the Word with gravity, clarity, and fire.

Two Saints
The life of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa 'enables us to see God face to face', Gandhiji wrote. Similarly, when someone in his circle was distraught, the Mahatma sent him to spend time at the Ashram of Ramana Maharshi. The Paramahamsa and the Maharshi have been among the greatest spiritual figures of our country. They have transformed the lives of and have been a solace to millions. Their peak, mystic experience is what we yearn to have. But what if several of the experiences they had occur in other circumstances also?With the rigour and painstaking research that mark all his work, Shourie probes the lives of two of India's greatest spiritual masters in the light of the breath-taking advances in neuroscience as well as psychology and sociology. The result is a book of remarkable vigour: an examination - and ultimately reconciliation - of science and faith as also of seemingly antagonistic, irreconcilable worldviews.
Jihad Or Ijtihad
While Europe was still stuck in the Dark Ages, scientists in the Islamic world were tranlsating Aristotle, and making huge strides in astronomy, mathematics and philosophy. Two thousand years later, the idea of 'scientific progress' seems to be locked in a hopeless war with Islam. When and how did Islam lose its enthusiasm for the workings of the natural world? S. Irfan Habib, one of the country's foremost historians, traces teh trajectomy of how 'mainstream' Islam came to question modern science - beginning with the reformers of the nineteenth century and ending with present-day idealogoues. Through the lives of famous men like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, he demonstrates that the modern-day promulagtion of Islam and its followers as 'anti-modern' and 'anti-science' is a myth that leads, quite literally, to explosives consequences. Habib also channels his scholarship to both history and Islam to question the controversial idea of 'Islamic science' as a category distinct from 'modern', 'Eurocentric' science. In an engaging, easy style that belies the weightiness of the questions it seeks to answer, Jihad or Itijihad challenges both stereotypes and propaganda. This book places in perspective the relationship between Islam and science today.
