"Preachers have commonly viewed the Book of Isaiah as too daunting for sequential exposition-- even short series-- and have resorted to using its sixty-six chapters as a handy source for messianic references and an occasional text for a Christmas or Easter homily. David Jackman shows how Isaiah can be preached either lectio continua or in brief series. Though Teaching Isaiah is, by design, not a close textual commentary, Jackman's  painstaking literary, theological and homiletical analyses show how the structures of Isaiah work for the preacher and the teacher. His suggested outlines are a treasure in themselves, as are his penetrating applications and gospel-freighted insights. This much needed book will help God's under shepherds refresh both themselves and their flocks from Isaiah's deep wells."

In the period that Isaiah the prophet lived there was immense political upheaval across the ancient near-east. The people of God had a choice - to follow their own human policies or to follow the promises of God. They chose to be unfaithful. The prophet breaks in and calls them to repent asking them to stop violating the covenant. It is a message that is all too easy to identify with. Yet the powerful message of grace also comes through in this incredible prophecy, foretelling the coming of the Messiah again and again.

"Not a commentary, though David Jackman's careful handling of the text is full of helpful insights; not a series of sermons either, though the headings and the study questions will be an enormous help to preachers and study group leaders. David's section on "Planning a series on Isaiah" has given me the confidence to tackle such a large book. 'Teaching Isaiah' makes an invaluable companion to any other resource on the teacher's shelf."

"David Jackman is the consummate teacher, as countless pastors and students of the Cornhill Training Course have discovered over the years. His book on Isaiah has been long awaited, and will not disappoint. The essence of his teaching on this immense prophet is distilled, with great skill, into something that uniquely complements the best of commentaries as a truly practical aid for the preacher. I am thrilled to see it in print, and rejoice to think of Isaiah's wonderful message being heard more by the Lord's people as a result."

Unlocking the Bible's teaching on the Holy Spirit - David Jackman

The Holy Spirit brings people to repentance, comforts the broken hearted, guides the faithful and helps Christians to pray.

Despite this pivotal role there is much debate in the church over the nature of the Holy Spirit's activity in our lives. Differing interpretations have resulted in divisions in the church.

This book clarifies the Holy Spirit's character and work, enabling the person leading a bible study or preaching to teach authoritatively about Him: maintaining a healthy, vibrant church that honours God in unity - in spirit and truth.
