"Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 2:4-5 |

Victorious Christians Peter Hammond
|
A major book which Dr. Peter Hammond has been busy on for many years is now completed. Victorious Christians – Who Changed the World, will inspire a new generation of dedicated Christians with the incredible examples of excellence provided by some of the most colourful and effective Christians in history. Dr. Joel R. Beeke of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary wrote: “Christians today have short memories. They sometimes feel rootless, for they have forgotten their heritage. But it was not always so. When the Reformers and Puritans wrote, they quoted godly leaders from a thousand years before them as still relevant for their day. Today we have an even richer treasury of Christian biography. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses indeed—at least six thousand years of Covenant-keepers. And the Bible says, “Remember them.” Get to know the men of God who adorn the pages of church history. For in remembering them you will see Jesus Christ, and He remains ever the same. “Victorious Christians will help you to do that. Written in language ordinary people can understand, and beautifully illustrated, it is a welcome introduction to remembering our spiritual fathers and mothers. Here you will find ministers, musicians, missionaries, and martyrs. The table is spread with many dishes—thirty-one biographies ranging from the second century to the twentieth century. Yet each comes in a bite-sized portion which you can read in a single sitting. When the meal is done, you will be satisfied. You will know that you have roots, an identity, and a legacy from godly ancestors. The Christian has a family tree that is older than any nation on earth. And your appetite will be whetted to learn more about your spiritual family through the ages. “May God graciously add His blessing to Dr. Hammond’s book, grant it a wide circulation, and continue to bless his courageous and multifaceted ministry to the building up of His Kingdom and the breaking down of the strongholds of satan.” Baroness Eileen Paisley writes: “Victorious Christians is a wonderful book. We have been thrilled afresh as we read it. It is our prayer that its reading will create a longing among the people of God for an outpouring of His Holy Spirit in Revival power across this sin-soaked world.” Dr. Ian R K Paisley, The Right Honourable Lord Bannside wrote: “The characters who fill these pages are men and women of differing natures and abilities, diverse in their talents and individual in their contribution to history, but they all have the common mark of the Cross upon them. “From age to age, from century to century, from decade to decade, God has His peculiar people set aside for His glory. That glory is diligently recorded in these pages. This work is not only a book which will encourage the believer, but it is a book which will help the scholar. Dr Peter Hammond has done the donkey work – you and I are indebted to him for his labour. “More importantly, he has recorded for another generation these ‘Pilgrims of Valour’ who ‘come wind, come weather’, were faithful unto death. “As you begin your journey through their lives I would encourage you to take time to ask their God to instil in you the same fruit of the Spirit that turned their human weakness into Christian victory!” Victorious Christians includes: 32 Character studies with over 260 pictures. The 380 page book includes: 10 Reformers, 6 Martyrs, 6 Missionaries, 4 Evangelists, 4 Professors, 3 Soldiers, 2 Musicians, 2 Kings, 1 Artist, an Inventor, an Historian and a Queen. This book provides fascinating insights to virtually every age of Church history by focusing on Christian characters, their courage and convictions in times of crisis. Lavishly illustrated, this book can be used for recreational reading by those who enjoy reading Biographies, or as a treasure trove of illustrations and examples for pastors, teachers and homeschoolers. You will never be the same after reading these incredible true stories of victorious Christians who impacted their world for Christ. |

Answering Skeptics Peter Hammond
|
ANSWERING SKEPTICSIn Answering Skeptics, Dr. Peter Hammond cover some of the following topics – What About Hypocrites in the Church? How can a Good God Allow Evil? Why Does God Not Stop All the Suffering? How Do You Know There is a God? Isn’t Religion Just a Crutch for the Weak? But Aren’t All Religions the Same? How Can a Loving God Send Anyone to Hell? What about the Inquisition? And much more. FOREWORD Answering Skeptics may become another classic by Peter Hammond. The contents of Answering Skeptics seems bound to become a "must read" for Christians. Skeptics, atheists, secular humanists, or whatever name is given to godless philosophies, are on the march with a new militancy. Just in this year the following was reported by the secular press: At the World Humanist Congress in Oslo in August, delegates from India, Uganda, Nigeria, Argentina and Brazil — all countries where belief in a supreme deity or deities has a strong hold — reported mounting interest in their philosophy. Like their counterparts in Europe and North America, they argue that morality is based in human nature and does not need a father-figure god to back it up with punishment in an afterlife, in which they do not believe. "There are more godless groups in the world than ever before," Sonja Eggerickx, a Belgian schools inspector who is president of the International Humanist and Ethical Union, told the Congress. US delegates, including a serving army major who has just established an organisation for atheists in the military, spoke of a surge of rejection of religion in all its forms among young Americans — a point some recent opinion surveys back up. In Manchester in May, British Humanists — one of the world’s oldest such groupings — were told of a sharp rise in humanist birth, marriage and death ceremonies, and strong growth in their association’s four-year-old student wing. In Ireland, a country where the influence of the Catholic Church was for decades dominant in all areas of life, including politics and government decision-making, an optimistic national humanist association met in Carlingford in late August. In Nigeria, where the openly non-religious face Christian preacher-inspired public opprobrium as "immoral reprobates" or "Satanists" and in the Islamic north are treated as apostates, the humanist movement held its Congress in Abuja in September. How is that for a taste of militant skepticism? Peter Hammond’s book is designed to meet these skeptics head-on. May the Lord’s blessing be upon this book. I pray that it would inspire Christians to trust more in the Book of books, the Bible. And above all, may our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified. Rev Erlo Stegen Director of Kwasizabantu Mission INTRODUCTION God bless Peter Hammond for his deep commitment to the cause of the Great Commission. It was the father of science, Sir Isaac Newton, who once said, “Opposition to godliness is atheism in profession and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.” If he was alive today, he may like to revise his last six words. We live in an age of skepticism, where there is a revival of the foolishness of atheism. But he certainly put his finger on the cause of atheism. Normally those guilty of the sin of idolatry pick and choose the attractive characteristics of the nature of God—“My God is a God of love and mercy. He would never create hell.” And they are right. He would never create Hell because he couldn’t. He doesn’t exist. He’s a figment of their over active imagination—the place of imagery. The nature of the Creator of the Universe, as revealed in Holy Scripture, is not only love and mercy, but also justice and truth, holiness and righteousness. The atheist, however, reverses idolatry and creates a god from the characteristics he finds unattractive—“The God of the Bible is a judgmental, homophobic, unloving, wrath-filled, merciless tyrant. If that’s your ‘God of love,’ I want nothing to do with him!” But the god he doesn’t believe in doesn’t exist! He is also a figment of the human imagination. The atheist is in truth the offspring of Adam, still imitating his first forefather, by trying to hide from God. And the best hiding place he can find is in atheism. But not all skeptics are hardened atheists. Some are prepared to think and listen. It is to these ears that Peter Hammond writes - and to the faithful Christian who wants to reach them.

Practical Discipleship Peter Hammond
|
PRACTICAL DISCIPLESHIP"The timeless truths of Biblical discipleship need to be proclaimed in every generation. ’If you want to be My Disciple...’ is always linked to the day-to-day outworking of following Christ in one’s secret life, family life, community life and in every other field." ’If we have not evidenced a dramatic transformation in our beliefs, moral standards, way of life, behaviour and conduct then it is doubtful if we are even forgiven.’ This new book lays out the every-day practicality of being a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. "The central theme of Repentance offers hope and renewed faith, grace and victory. Our Lord’s command to ’go and diciple every nation’ is a command to every believer. And this new book is a learner’s manual with very practical tools for every generation. "As with many of Dr. Peter Hammond’s other books, he looks at the crucial importance of genuine Revival. The final four chapters: ’Heart Cry for Revival’, ’The Ulster Revival of 1859’, Revival in the Bible and in History’ and ’Andrew Murray and the 1860 Revival’ are well worth reading again and again. "It should always humble us to realize that Revival is a sovereign act of God but also includes the practical promises that go hand-in-hand with discipleship. Would that God stir up a fresh agonizing Revival. From the INTRODUCTION by Rev. Erlo Stregen |

Greatest Century of Reformation Peter Hammond
|
'The Greatest Century of Reformation' presents the incredible stories of the courageous Reformers and the events that God used to bring about the greatest Revival of faith and freedom in history. The Reformation was one of the most momentous turning points in world history. It was led by men of strong faith, deep convictions, great intelligence, high moral standards and tremendous courage. The energies that were released by the rediscovery of the Bible in the common tongue, led to the most extraordinary spiritual Revival in history. The Reformation freed the Christians of Northern Europe from the decadence of Renaissance paganism and led to the greatest birth of freedom and scientific discoveries in history. The Reformers of the 16th Century won for us the principles of religious freedom, liberty of conscience, the rule of law, separation of powers and constitutionally limited republics. Read about the Reformers who changed the world forever. |
"There has never been a greater need for a book on the Reformation than now. Historical facts have been, at best, ignored or blurred, at worst evacuated! The absolutes of yesterday, Sole Scriptura, Sola Fide... no longer hold sway. Instead, the uncertainties of open theology, the vagueries of experimental theology and the insistence on unity have all but cancelled the non-negotiables of the Reformation! To be reminded of the major battles of yesterday, and the men who paid the supreme sacrifice for the upholding of Truth, is vital if the present generation is not to sell out to the trends and the fads which are culturally inherited and have nothing to do wth the Gospel as revealed once and for all to the saints! Peter Hammond, in his unique non-compromising style, leaves the reader with no alternative...either a return to the Biblical revelation or the ongoing pursuit of man-pleasing religion!" Mike Evans, Principal, Geneva Bible Institute |

Greatest Century of Missions Peter Hammond
|
'The Greatest Century of Missions' is a treasure trove of incredible adventures, inspiring exploits and unbelievable achievements of some of the most extra-ordinary people in the most momentous era of Christian advance This book will be an invaluable resource for pastors and missionaries and a textbook for senior homeschoolers, Christian schools and Bible colleges. It should be required reading for prospective missionaries. |
"The nineteenth century missions movement...was a great era of Biblical faith. Appropriately, Dr Peter Hammond beautifully captures this remarkable multi-faceted lefacy in 'The Greatest Century of Missions'. Not only does his fluid narrative make the individual missionaries come to life, he highlights their vision, their motivation, their theological faithfulness, and their long-tern cultural impact. It is my prayer that as modern Christians read this much needed book, they will see the great pioneers, these culture-shapers, these soul-winners and nation-builders of the nineteenth century in an entirely new light - and that we will model our own twenty-first century efforts after theirs. I am convinced that if we do, we too will see a glorious transformation of men and nations." Dr. George Grant |

Discipleship Handbook Peter Hammond
|
The Discipleship Handbook is an invaluable resource including studies on The Cross, The Fear of God, The Holy Spirit, God's Law, Restitution, Prayer, Evangelism, Conflict, Time Management, Hospitality, Videos, Games and TV, Animals, Revival and How to Change the World. The Discipleship Handbook deals with the most important issues possible. There is nobody more important than God and nothing more important than our relationship to Him. This is what really, ultimately matters that we know God and that we make Him known. The Discipleship Handbook is packed full of great insights, practical instruction and Biblical inspiration to enable us to love God more wholeheartedly, to serve Him more effectively, to obey Him more constantly, to worship Him more acceptably. |
"Jesus Christ told us that we are to make disciples of all nations. This goes beyond evangelism and involves the discipling of young believers into mature soldiers of Christ. This should be the goal of every church and every Christian. "Peter Hammond's new book, Discipleship Handbook is an excellent guide in the discipling of new Christians. I recommend it for everyone's use." "Once again Dr. Peter Hammond has given much thought to different aspects of the whole question of discipleship. What I like about the Discipleship Handbook is the practical down to earth substance that is provided. "I believe the truths conveyed here can be given across any cultural, denominational and linguistic barrier. I recommend it to those not only young in the faith but to all. For many who are preachers you will find much preaching material included." "I so appreciate both the strong Biblical content and the historical depth evident in this little book. It is also a reflection of the spiritual lessons learned by the author in decades of 'high risk' ministry . Here is an unusual discipling tool which offers no easy pathway for Christians to follow, but one that offers a spiritual road-map for 21st Century believers in a hostile world and a challenge to complete the Great Commission task Jesus gave to His Church." "Jesus said to go and make disciples. Too often we seem to have changed that to go and make converts. If every Christian took the time to read this comprehensive guide to discipleship, we would indeed have more disciples and less baby Christians who seem to remain as perpetual infants in the Lord.” "Many books promise so much, but deliver little. Never Dr. Hammond's. The Discipleship Handbook is a concise, power packed blend of stark testimonies, sound foundational teaching, and real life guidelines based on Scripture. There are no clever complexities, nothing vague or outlandish, and no tedious extrapolation. The message is a tough one, but it's the real thing." "The Discipleship Handbook is a must for every serious leader and believer. In this age of watered down 'easy believism' and 'cheap grace' we need this "Discipleship Handbook" by Dr. Peter Hammond. Whether we like it or not this life will soon be over and face to face we will meet our Creator. "That is why we need a book - which to me is next to my Bible. It is the greatest investment to have it. For me I want all our former, present and future Bible College students, all the prisoners we minister to and all my fellow Christians to have it. And I want it translated into my local language. You will never be the same after reading it." “Handbooks are handy because they help us to actually do (or be) certain things. Peter Hammond's Discipleship Handbook is one you will want to keep close at hand. It is a treasure trove of practical truth for anyone interested in following Jesus Christ. It is simple enough to bless and encourage a new Christian and profound enough to inspire a seasoned saint. One time through will not be enough. You will be motivated to read it again and again. It is indeed a classic, in league with Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. “If you love the Word of God, this is a book you will highly esteem. Unless you want to argue with Scripture, you won't be able to refute the logic of its premise. The Discipleship Handbook establishes a Biblical standard to which we can all aspire. It is highly practical, very positive, loaded with appropriate quotations from the Bible and answers concisely in twelve specific categories the question, ‘What is a Christian?’ “Oswald Chambers observed, ‘The secret of a disciple's life is devotion to Jesus Christ, and the characteristic of the life it its unobtrusiveness.’ The Discipleship Handbook will help you achieve that goal. “Of all the books I've read by Peter Hammond, this is my favorite. Peter is serious about our Lord's command to ‘… go and make disciples … teaching them to obey.’ Matthew 28:19,20. In a day when Christians have lost the shock of sin, and the Church seems to have abandoned the awe of God's holiness, this book will rekindle the smoldering fires of devotion that have burned low for too long. “It was Carlyle who said, ‘He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of daily virtuous living.’ The Discipleship Handbook will do just that. It is beautifully organized and easy to study. Your investment of time and treasure to buy and read this book will be well worth the effort and expenditure.” “Dealing comprehensively with the key issues of discipleship the Discipleship Handbook is an excellent resource tool. It can be confidently given into the hands of young Christians, read on its own or worked through as a group. I pray that God will use it to produce a generation of mature believers, able and willing to contend for the Faith.” "Time has gone when people have been led to Christ Jesus and left as babies in the Lord for years and some even die as babies in the Word of God. Spiritual maturity has become a rare thing. " We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are so slow to understand. By now you should be teachers, but you need someone to teach you again the first lessons of God message ... " Hebrews 5:11 - 12 "The Discipleship Handbook is an amazing instrument because it takes one step by step to the foundational teaching of the Word of God. "This Handbook is an emphasis on what our Lord Jesus Christ commissioned us to do: "Once we read the Handbook, we shall be equipped and we shall not be tossed right and left or taken away from the truth as some have been. "This Handbook caters for both the adults and youths; for rural and urban; for under developed, developing and developed intellectuals. It speaks to the heart, the mind and the soul of man. "The author has provided this Handbook to equip us to disciple both new and old believers who are not grounded in the Word , so that we may be effective in our lives and ministries. This book is not just theory but also practical. "I am very confident that this Discipleship Handbook will be a blessing to those who want to change lives and change this world." "I have known Peter Hammond since he was a young man seeking to know what the Lord wanted him to do. From that time, as I have watched what the Lord has done in his life. I have seen the development of a man of God who is skilled in discipleship. He has much that he can contribute from his spiritual and practical experience." "It gives me great pleasure to say 'Read this book!' "We live in a world where we are in danger of being swamped by Islam, communism and humanism. "Read this book. It is about basic Christianity, about believing it and living it. Nothing is more important than this, for it is our Christian witness which will prove the truth of our faith. And it is our Christian lives which will bring unbelievers to Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." |

The Ten Commandments - Gods Perfect Law of Liberty Peter Hammond
|
The Ten Commandments – God’s Perfect Law of LibertyThe Ten Commandments – God’s Perfect Law of Liberty is an invaluable resource for Discipleship and Reformation. Dr. Martin Luther declared: “the first duty of the Gospel preacher is to declare God’s Law and to show the nature of sin.” The Puritan author of Pilgrims Progress, John Bunyan, said: “A man who does not know the nature of the Law cannot know the nature of sin.” Charles Spurgeon declared: “They will never accept grace until they tremble before a just and Holy Law.” “Therefore the Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24 The Ten Commandments – God’s Perfect Law of Liberty identifies the contemporary idols for destruction and clearly shows, step by step, how we can seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, applying the Lordship of Jesus Christ to all areas of life. It is our heartfelt prayer that the Lord may graciously use this book to bring many people to Christ, to deepen discipleship and to create a greater hunger for spiritual Revival. “The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Psalm 19:7 |
"Never before in Church history has there been such a need to return to the basics of Biblical evangelism. Our churches are filled with false converts, simply because we have abandoned doing what Jesus did when it comes to reaching out to the lost. The disease must be diagnosed before the cured is offered to the patient, or it will, understandably, never be appreciated or appropriated. I thank God for my friend Peter Hammond, and pray that God’s blessing will be on his book, The Ten Commandments--God's Perfect Law of Liberty." “To those who would argue that God does not exist, read this book and each page will reveal that God not only exists, but He knows you better than you do. From the Forword by Rev. Bill Bathman As I listened to this series of messages at Livingstone Fellowship, I kept thinking how practical, down to earth and relevant these eternal truths are for us today. Each Sunday, after the message, I thanked the LORD for how He spoke to my heart through His Word and longed that Dr. Hammond might have a wider audience. I rejoice now to see the entire series in this one book. The Ten Commandments are God’s meterstick by which He measures us and whereby we realize how far short we have fallen of His glory. It is God’s “plumb line” to measure our moral straightness. As our young people would say, “The Ten Commandments are God’s ‘text message’ to keep us in line.” In today’s man-centered culture, God (when He is considered at all) has become our “Buddy;” an eternal “Blessing Machine,” to be called on whenever we’re in trouble or need a Friend. “One who turns away his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer is an abomination.” Proverbs 28:9 Many today worship before the idolatrous altar of pluralism, multiculturalism and the inter-faith movement. These false gods are skillfully exposed in this hard-hitting, practical and easy-to-read volume. These gods must go. The new thoughts and inspiration from the Fifth Commandment were a special blessing to me. You’ll find a whole treasure-trove of them yourself between the covers of this modest tome. The Eighth Commandment brilliantly exposes Muhammad’s support of theft. “Jihad is one of the most meritorious acts in the eyes of Islam and it is the best source of earnings.” (Mishkat II, Page 340) Muhammad saw theft as a win-win situation. If you won the battle you got the booty. If you lost the battle you got paradise and all those virgins. Muhammad: desert bandit, robber, thief, murderer and paedophile, was a breaker of all Ten Commandments. These are undisputed, well-documented attributes of the founder of the world’s second largest religion as measured by God’s Laws. Most everyone has heard of, and many have read, the Ten Commandments in the Bible. Having read them many times, I thought I knew just about everything God’s Law requires of believers. This book brings each Commandment to life and makes them relevant to our contemporary culture. Each chapter is a wellspring of delightful surprises with useful information, spiritual inspiration and Christian challenge. There are some who say, “O the Ten Commandments were just for Old Testament times, they’re not applicable to us today.” This book is written from God’s perspective and has some eye-opening response to that assertion. Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17 The candor of the author in sharing his testimony of when and where he has failed to obey and how the Lord dealt with him is richly refreshing. It is also very reassuring to know that our Heavenly Father is in the business of restoration. This book will give you an expanded appreciation of His grace and of the awful price He paid for our sins as we, who are truly guilty, have broken most if not all of the Ten Commandments. |
