Gospel Meditations on the Reformation
Anderson, Chris
October 31, 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of his 95 Theses and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. In honor of this occasion, we have published a new book with 31 daily devotionals, taken from Scripture but illustrated with scenes from Reformation history. Noted historian Carl Trueman and theologian Andy Naselli join pastors Chris Anderson and Joe Tyrpak as contributing authors. This devotional will feed your mind and warm your heart. Most importantly, it will point you to Christ!

“Isaac Newton famously observed, If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. These Gospel Meditations help us climb onto the shoulders of many of the giants of the Reformation, whose Spirit-given, Word-driven boldness and sacrifice have blessed the church for generations. Each days entry in this book is a door into further study, deeper gratitude, and greater praise to God for His gospel of grace that still saves, still shakes nations.”

“Few have so influenced my reading of Scripture like the sixteenth-century Reformers. They sing the gospel loud and clear, their melody is pervasively biblical, and their rich harmony lifts our eyes to the cross and empty tomb to see the glory of God. Gospel Meditations on the Reformation is not only an excellent opportunity to read Scripture with the Reformers, but a reminder to rejoice on a daily basis in the gospel they defended.”

“This year marks the 500th anniversary of the symbolic beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Now is the perfect time for every believer to reflect on the five solas of the Reformation and what they mean for each of us who are united with Christ by grace through faith. This devotional is a wonderful way to do just that. Each entry is dripping with the same gospel that the Reformers labored so hard to recover, for the glory of God and the health of His church. With a nod to Augustine, who was beloved by so many of the Reformers, take up and read!”

“Gospel Meditations on the Reformation wonderfully meets a need for short but potent biblical reflections. The quality of these meditations is exceptional and the rich content is worthy of the Reformation that it honors. I cannot more highly recommend this devotional book, and I anticipate reading these selections over and again.”

“Theologically rich, thoughtful, and historically rooted devotionals are a rare treat. This volume, which unfolds the theological commitments and pastoral heart of the Reformers, is a unique and enormously helpful devotional. As the Reformers reminded us, sound doctrine must always lead to true worship. My hope is that this devotional leads many Christians to encounter biblical truth in a fresh way.”
