Set apart as a prophet before he was born, Jeremiah was called to proclaim God's righteous judgment to a people that had turned against their Creator. The "weeping prophet" was a faithful witness to the God who keeps his covenant promises, tempering a message of judgment with the promise of mercy.

In this commentary, Philip Graham Ryken helps pastors, church leaders, and Bible teachers understand, teach, and apply these prophetic books, showing their ongoing relevance for a Christian's walk with God. With faithful exposition, Ryken reveals the gospel's promise that even in the midst...

Do you love Jesus more than your spouse? Your reputation? Your kids? Your health? Your job? Your money?

As Christians, we're called to love Jesus more than anyone or anything else. But do we really do this? Emphasizing that God's love for us is the source of our love for him, Phil Ryken challenges us to take Jesus's words seriously and think carefully about where our affections truly lie.

We've all heard people say it: "The problem with Christians is that they think Jesus is the only way to heaven." Even reason says: We go to the college of our choice, watch the cable channel of our choice, and eat the food of our choice. So why can't we pray to the god of our choice and get to heaven by any means we choose?

These are fair questions. Questions that demand an answer if Christians are going to insist that their claims are true--and that all other religions' claims about salvation are thereby false. They are questions Philip Ryken confronts head-on in...

The Lord's Prayer, the greatest prayer in the Bible, comes from the heart of the Savior, the Son of God, to his Heavenly Father. It is proclaimed at celebrations, cried in times of war, whispered in the face of death. In a society where people are bombarded by worry and concern, violence and evil, it is so important to meet with the Heavenly Father in the intimate solitude of prayer.

Pastor Philip Ryken urges readers to recognize the power that the Lord's Prayer holds. This model reminds us that God is our protector and provider. It expresses our every need and gratitude to the one...

The book of Ecclesiastes is, above all else, unflinchingly honest.

Whether wrestling with the tedium of work, the injustices of life, the ravages of age, or the inevitability of death, this enigmatic Old Testament book takes a hard look at the way the world really is. And yet, as Phil Ryken points out in this instructive commentary, Ecclesiastes wisely teaches people to trust God in the midst of such struggles.

Written with pastors and Bible teachers in mind, this commentary will equip readers to better understand, explain, and apply the message of Ecclesiastes,...

For many of us, the idea of the Trinity feels nebulous and abstract--or even worse, irrelevant. While we may believe this doctrine, we remain strangely disconnected from the reality that God is indeed tri-personal. Yet, Philip Ryken and Michael LeFebvre argue that a deeper knowledge of the Trinity is of the utmost importance for everyday life.

Explaining roles and relationships within the Godhead while tackling difficult questions, Our Triune God offers a helpful guide into the paradoxical mystery of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--the God of three-in-one.

What will you do when trouble comes?

It's not a question of if, but when--at some point, everyone faces grief, pain, broken relationships, sin, or persecution. What hope do we have? Sharing honestly from his own life and looking at stories of men and women in the Bible who experienced many kinds of trouble, Phil Ryken offers hope from Scripture aimed at reminding us that we're never alone in our pain. Though hardships and trials will come, God is our very present help in times of trouble.

Most people are familiar with the "Love Chapter" of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, yet Phil Ryken has something fresh to say. Drawing on the life and ministry of Jesus to illustrate what love is and isn't, Ryken brings a unique perspective to this commonly quoted passage.

In this expository commentary on the book of Exodus, Philip Graham Ryken mines the story of Israel's escape from Egypt for knowledge of God's character and instruction for his followers. Theologically instructive and decidedly pastoral, this commentary leads readers to rejoice at God's work in the life of every person who follows him on the path to spiritual freedom.

What are you hoping in?

Is it a job? Money? Your family? What are you going to do when you get laid off, the money runs out, or your loved ones pass away? In Kingdom, Come , Phil Ryken encourages us to focus our hope on one fact we can absolutely depend on: Jesus is coming soon

King Solomon had all the fame and fortune that any man could want. He was the world's wisest and wealthiest king. And yet, tragically, he threw it all away for the love of money, the pleasures of sex, and the powers of an earthly kingdom.

In studying the life of Solomon, we see both the true greatness and the tragic failure of our own humanity--from godly devotion to self-serving excess. Even in the midst of our best intentions, we are all prone to succumb to the same temptations of money, sex, and power. And if Solomon's incredible wisdom could not prevent him from such tragic...
