John F. MacArthur, Jr.
1939 -
Dr. John F. MacArthur, Jr., pastor of Grace Community
Church, Sun Valley, California, is a well-known
Bible teacher, best selling author, and popular
conference speaker.
MacArthur studied at Bob Jones University, Los
Angeles Pacific College and prepared for the ministry
at Talbot Theological Seminary where he graduated
with high honors. He was ordained by the Independant
Fundamental Churches Of America and has been in the
ministry for over 40 years.
MacArthur is President of The Master's
College and Seminary. His
Grace To You radio program is heard
over hundreds of stations around the world on a
daily basis. You can also listen over the Internet.
(Click on the Grace to You link below.)
Millions of his audio cassettes and publications have
been distributed worldwide. He is a very prolific
writer. It was difficult for us to decide on just
a few of his books to showcase here.
John and his wife, Patricia, have four children,
eight grandchildren, and live in Santa Clarita,
California.
Of all the authors we have featured here, Dr Mac is
probably our very favorite. He preaches and writes in
a verse by verse expository style which we think is
the best way to teach God's Word. He is basically a
Calvinist, but differs from most Calvinists as far as
eschatology goes, holding to a dispensational view.
Most Calvinists tend to take an amillennial or
postmillennial view. (Yours truly differs from
all three of these views. Call me an historic
premillennialist. We cannot agree with everyone all
the time!) Yet we have learned much from
MacArthur and hope you will, as well.

The Gospel According To
Jesus: What Does Jesus Mean When He Says "Follow
Me"? In this revised and
expanded edition, MacArthur further explains his
understanding of biblical faith and works, and
reinforces his conviction that there is no eternal
life without surrender to the Lordship of Christ.

Ashamed Of The Gospel/When
The Church Becomes Like The World. Here is a message the church must not
ignore: that we dare not be ashamed
of communicating the convicting message of the
Gospel. That we dare not candy coat it or make the
church so user-friendly that the preaching of
God's Word is compromised.

Twelve Ordinary Men Jesus chose twelve ordinary men to be His disciples - fishermen, tax collectors, politcal zealots - regular guys. He turned their weaknesses into strengths. MacArthur draws principles from Christ's hands-on training of His original disciples and applies them to His modern day disciple - YOU!

Twelve Extraordinary Women
Think women are not as important as men in God's plan? Think again! From Eve, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth and Hannah to Mary, Anna, Mary Madgelan and more, it wasn't their natural qualities that made these women extraordinary but the power of the one true God whom they worshipped and served. MacArthur brings out fascinating information about these women. You'll discover-perhaps for the first time-the unmistakable chronology of God's redemptive work in history through their lives. These women were not ancillary to His plan, they were at the very heart of it.
New from Nelson (Nov. 2005).

Charismatic
Chaos A biblical evaluation
of the charismatic movement. This movement has had a
big impact on the church in the last few decades.
MacArthur analyzes the doctrinal differences between
charismatics and non-charismatics in the light of
scripture. Charismania weighed in the balance and
found wanting.

Drawing Near
Knowing God's peace, discovering
God's will, finding forgiveness, true success.
These are just a few of the many topics MacArthur
covers in this daily devotional. Designed to go
through the Bible in a year, each daily passage
highlights a portion of Scripture and draws a key
principle from it. Draw near to God!

The Glory Of Heaven: The
Truth About Heaven, Angels and Eternal
Life Speculation about
angels, near-death experiences, and the afterlife
abound in our contemporary society. But what is the
real truth about heaven and eternal life? Taking you
on a journey through Scripture, MacArthur dispels
secular myth and offers you a biblical glimpse of
your heavenly home.

The MacArthur Bible Commentary This commentary is thorough, addressing every passage of the Old and New Testament phrase by phrase. Hundreds of word studies, charts, outlines, etc. These are basically the same notes that can be found in the sidebar in the MacArthur Study Bible (see below). If you have the MacArthur Study Bible you don't need this, but if you don't have it and don't want to buy another Bible, then this is a fantastic reference to have!
