I'm a big believer in the power and
influence of Christian literature, having devoted the better
part of my life to produce it.
I've been asked from time to time how
to find my published works.
Well, this list I'm providing today, friends, is
a summary of the books God has been
pleased to allow me to write through the
years.
Every book mentioned can be found on the
internet, and may I say this, I have
never, ever taken a dime from royalties from
my books, but redirected those funds back to
further foreign missions, to spread the gospel, and
to print and distribute Bibles in other languages.
Here, now, is a comprehensive list of my
publications, and a brief overview of each.
I pray that it's helpful.
Number one, A Heart Awake, the authorized biography
of J.
Sidlow Baxter, Baker Books, foreword by Adrian Rogers,
prefaced by Stephen Olford.
Dr. Baxter was a prolific Christian author, and
his Bible commentary explored the book, and his
devotional, Awake My Heart, each sold over a
million copies.
His preaching ministry was international and far-reaching.
Number two, No Turning Back, Gospel Folio Press.
This is a book on discipleship, which William
MacDonald encouraged me to write, with the sage
advice, take the gloves off, and don't state
the obvious.
Number three, Know the Book, Gospel Folio Press,
is a survey of each book of the
Bible, written for Bible study or teaching.
This book was translated into Swahili, and drop
-shipped into the heart of the Congo.
Number four, Are You in the Book of
Life, Gospel Folio Press.
This is an evangelistic booklet, geared for soul
winning.
Number five, The Master's Plan, Gospel Folio Press,
a ten-week devotional workbook for individual or
group study, unfolding God's blueprint for your life.
Number six, Walking with God, Gospel Folio Press,
forward by Ted Randall, where he states, be
prepared to be challenged concerning your own walk
with God.
Number seven, Return to Me, Gospel Folio Press.
This is a book on repentance, and a
necessity to return to God.
Number eight, Realities of Revival, Gospel Folio Press,
forward by Stephen Olford.
Dr. Olford was my homiletical mentor and colleague,
and he took this manuscript on revival with
him on his last vacation, to edit it
before his home going.
He died before it was published.
Number nine, The Church in Revival, Gospel Folio
Press, forward by Richard Owen Roberts, who writes,
I beg you, as you read this book
by E.A. Johnston, that you understand that
revival is our only hope.
Number ten, A Call to Revival, Gospel Folio
Press, forward by Colin Peckham, who writes, This
book is a serious call to holy living,
to repentance, to total commitment, and to prayer
in the Holy Ghost.
May God use it for his glory.
Number eleven, Olford on Scroggie, Gospel Folio Press.
This book was co-written with Stephen Olford,
as he comments about his Bible training under
his homiletical mentor, Dr. Graham F.
Scroggie.
I had the supreme pleasure of going over
Graham Scroggie's handwritten sermons and outlines, which are
in the possession of Olford Ministries.
In this book, Stephen Olford talks about the
golden hammer that was taught to him by
Graham Scroggie in sermon preparation.
It's worth the price of the book.
This was the last book Stephen Olford wrote,
and he died before it was published.
Number twelve, Sermons for Revival, Revival Literature.
This book contains thirty sermons that I preached
on revival.
The photo on the cover shows me standing
in the pulpit where George Whitefield preached his
very first sermon that drove fifteen people mad.
It's the church, St. Mary the Crypt, in
Gloucester, England.
Number thirteen, George Whitefield, the definitive biography in
two volumes.
First printing was in England, with Tentmaker Publications.
Second printing in America, with Revival Literature.
J.I. Packer wrote the foreword, and Richard
Owen Roberts wrote the preface.
In the foreword, J.I. Packer writes, If
you care about the glory of God in
the salvation of souls, you'll find this book
a tonic.
By the way, friends, Packer's well-written foreword
is worth the price of the book.
Number fourteen, Azahel Nettleton, Revival Literature.
Azahel Nettleton was the primary figure of the
Second Great Awakening, and this definitive biography of
this eminent evangelist was a labor of love
as I traveled to over sixty sites and
four states where Nettleton's ministry saw glorious revival.
The foreword is by John Thornberry, and the
preface by Richard Owen Roberts, who was the
main one to encourage me to write this
in-depth biography on Nettleton.
J.I. Packer wrote in his endorsement of
the book, And
may I add, friends, Nettleton, if he had
been alive today, he absolutely would have cringed
at his far-reaching insight and predictions as
to where the methodology of Charles Finney would
take us.
It's a great read for those who care
about evangelism and how New England theology deteriorated
in that time period.
Number fifteen, God's Hitchhike Evangelist, the biography of
Rolf Barnard, Revival Literature, foreword by Bob Dume.
I can honestly say that I learned the
gospel from listening to hundreds of sermons by
Rolf Barnard, and this biography on his mightily
used life should be read by all preachers
who care about the souls of man.
Barnard saw great revival where his preaching shook
entire communities.
It's an interesting read and an interesting preacher.
Number sixteen, Why God Used Stephen F.
Olford, Union University Press, is a tribute to
Dr. Olford's International Preaching Ministry.
Well, I hope, friends, that you have found
this list helpful and that the spread of
Christian literature will be accompanied by your prayers.
