New Commentaries from Alexander MacLaren
Alexander MacLaren has been a revered preacher, both in his time and ours. That is why we are excited to bring you three of his many works on Scripture: Expositions of Holy Scripture, The Life of David Reflected in the Psalms, and his contributions to The Expositor's Bible.
Expositions of Holy Scripture
The first and largest of these works is a collection of MacLaren's sequential teaching through the books of Scripture. George Eayrs, who created a detailed index for the physical volume set of this work, marveled at the unique nature of MacLaren's writings: "A notable feature of Dr. MacLaren's expository art was the use of supplementary, complementary, or contrasting passages of Scripture as sidelights or reflections upon that which he was expounding."
The Life of David Reflected in the Psalms
This work focuses on the evolution of David's psalms throughout his different stages of life. MacLaren breaks his work into four stages of David's life: (1) his early days, (2) his exile during Saul's reign, (3) his reign as king, and (4) his sin and the consequences born from that. With this work, you will find yourself diving deep into the character and life of King David.
Contributions to The Expositor's Bible
The Expositor's Bible is a work compiled and edited by Sir William Robertson Nicholl. His goal was to display a unification among full-time preachers on the essentials of the Christian faith. MacLaren, a dear friend of Nicholl, contributed three volumes on Psalms and one on Colossians and Philemon. These are available along with MacLaren's other works on his author page.
Pauline Outlines from Kress Biblical Resources
After our recent addition of Kress's Road Maps for the Non-Pauline Epistles and Revelation, we are excited to provide another resource from our partner. The Road Maps for the Pauline Epistles is formatted in a similar manner to their sister volume. Each letter is divided into three main sections: "Overview Outline," "Introductory Matters," and "Detailed Outline."
The "Overview Outline" includes a summary statement and a brief outline of the book.
The "Introductory Matters" examines the book's author, aim, and audience.
The "Detailed Outline" provides a comprehensive exegetical outline that walks you through each verse of each chapter.
In the words of the publisher, "This book is intended as an initial roadmap for other adventurers to explore the infinitely beautiful terrain of this portion of God's Word." We trust this resource will quickly become an invaluable part of your study time in these books.
Before you start studying with the Kress Road Maps, we recommend reading the preface included with the non-Pauline road maps to learn more about the heart behind these wonderful resources. This resource will soon be available as a physical copy on the Kress Biblical Resources store page as well.
New Charles Spurgeon Daily Devotional
Originally published as The Chequebook of Faith in 1893, this collection of brief devotionals has been a resource beloved by many a Christian for the past century. Spurgeon's introduction to the devotional states, "God has given no promise that He will not redeem. He does not offer hope that He will not fulfill. To help my brethren believe this, I have prepared this little volume." In this "little volume," Spurgeon likens the provision of God to a bank that has an unlimited flow of grace, love, mercy, and provision for all those who are a member.
Each day, you will find a section of Scripture, followed by a brief rumination by Charles Spurgeon, who is often affectionately referred to as the "Prince of Preachers." We at BLB firmly believe that you will be blessed immensely through these devotionals, and we pray that you will soon learn that God's heavenly bank is truly infinite and cannot be overdrawn.

New Luke Audio Series from Pastor Tony Clark
We are privileged to introduce our newest speaker on the BLB site: Pastor Tony Clark from Calvary Chapel Newport News. He has graciously offered us his audio commentary on the Gospel of Luke. Pastor Tony, who teaches Scripture in a verse by verse manner, desires that BLB listeners would "fall more in love with Jesus through the Gospel of Luke and how it applies to us today."
The Gospel of Luke was written to Theophilus after careful investigation that he "may know the exact truth about the things [he had] been taught" (
