Everyday Publications Inc Books
Did you know that Gospel Folio Press carries all of Everyday Publications Inc.’s book titles for sale in North America?
Everyday Publications Inc (EPI) is a non-profit organization which was founded in 1964 by Dr. R.E. Harlow and his wife, Gertrud. It began as a small publishing work to help provide Bible study materials for believers in Africa.
While serving in as missionaries in Africa in the 1940’s and ’50’s, the Harlows noted the desperate need for Bible study materials for the less educated believers in Africa. Most natives did not have the depth of English language proficiency required to understand the academic level Bible study material that existed at that time. Dr. Harlow, co-founder of Emmaus Bible School as well as the Emmaus Correspondence Courses, soon adopted a method of writing called Everyday English. It was based on the concept of short, uncluttered sentences which were easier to understand and very translatable. A complete set of commentaries on the Bible now exists in Everyday English.
Translation work has also become a large part of EPI as books originally written in Everyday English have been translated into other languages for new believers. EPI, now based in Port Colborne, ON, CA, prints many books in French, Portugese, Spanish and Swahili.
Gospel Folio Press is pleased to be able to help distribute EPI’s books to those who can benefit from their solid Bible study material. All of EPI’s English titles are available for order from Gospel Folio Press as well as some of their Spanish titles too. A handful of their titles include:
Limiting Omnipotance: The Consequences of Calvinism (Reprint)
Now available – June 2014!
(Revised & Expanded Edition) A Study of Crucial Issues in Reformed and Dispensational Theology
By: David Dunlap
Order your copy now!
Excerpt:
” Few can disagree with the view that Calvinism is one of the most important theological movements in the history of the Christian church. Whether one is a Calvinist or a not, all must acknowledge that Calvinism has claimed an important and influential role in molding and shaping the church for the last five hundred years…Calvinism can determine one’s views on politics, government, the Christian life, the study of eschatology, the nature of God, the character of man…” (pg. 15)
“Does theology have consequences? Of course!
“The theological schools of Calvinism and Dispensationalism both influence our understanding of important doctrines of the Bible. This book contrasts crucial issues in the current debate between the two. Its major focus is on the consequences of Calvinism.
“Some major topics include:
- Is God the author of sin?
- The sovereignty of God
- “One-naturism”
- Dispensationalism and antinomianism
- What does the Bible teach about election?
“Limiting Omnipotence discusses these concerns and issues in a language that anyone can understand, quoting freely from Scripture.” ~From back cover
GFP Book Tables
Did you know that Gospel Folio Press supplies book tables to various conferences and events in the Southern Ontario area and beyond?
Gospel Folio Press’s mandate is to deliver quality Christian material into the hands of Bible students and readers as well as church leadership and everyone in between. GFP material can be obtained in three ways:
1) At our bookstore in Port Colborne, Ontario (304 Killaly St W).
2) Online at our webstore (shop.www.gospelfolio.com).
3) At conferences and events where a book table is provided.
The advantages to buying material at a conference book table are several:
-You can handle the book in person before your purchase. This means you know exactly the product you are getting. (We do our best to keep our webstore updated with book dimensions, pages, and other important information, but there is nothing like browsing through a book before buying it.)
-There is no tax added to the price of books at book tables. The price on the book is what you pay. (GFP absorbs the cost of taxes.)
-Book table prices are often discounted, in some cases quite significantly.
-Finally, buying books at book tables saves our customers shipping and handling fees.
So please contact GFP if your fellowship or conference would benefit from having a book table available.
John Lennox in “God’s Not Dead” Movie

John Lennox’s praise for Gooding’s “The Riches of Divine Wisdom”
Buy now!
“I anticipate that this book will rapidly become an essential resource for those seeking to understand and enjoy the way in which the New Testament unfolds the meaning of the Old Testament. David Gooding’s analysis of texts that are often found difficult is both penetrating and accessible. I have personally found the material contained here extraordinarily helpful.”

“I recall seeing a wine expert who successfully identified the province in France where the grapes were grown that yielded the bottles he sampled. He explained that the telltale taste and bouquet resulted from the distinctive soils in which the vintage grew. So I have discovered, through the discriminating palate of Professor Gooding, how the various writings of the Hebrew Scriptures have left their distinctive marks on the fruit borne by the writers of the New Testament. The Riches of Divine Wisdom is clearly a masterwork of scholarship but written so it makes available to any devoted Bible student a largely unexplored field of both profitable and enjoyable study.”
—J. B. Nicholson, President, Uplook Ministries
“I would not use the word lightly, but this really is ‘Vintage Gooding’. All the great characteristics are here: his very special ability to discern the literary structure of books and passages, his love of the Bible as the Word of God, his ability to express each nugget of truth with conciseness, clarity and helpfulness. If you do not have time to read this whole book, then don’t open it. You will be gripped from page one, as I was. And I certainly would not have wished to miss a single sentence or page. Gooding subtitles his book ‘The New Testament’s Use of the Old Testament’ but in fact has given us a comprehensive (and highly readable) account of the basic principles of biblical interpretation.”
—Alec Motyer, Author, formerly Principal of Trinity College, Bristol
“I carefully read two earlier books in this series, on Luke and Acts, from start to finish. I am doing the same with this book for the same reasons: The opportunity to gain deep insights into biblical truth which only a master of the Scriptures could give, and to be devotionally enriched while doing so. This book is particularly important because it clearly and skilfully addresses a key area of biblical interpretation which all sincere students of the Word should develop skills in handling. I am refining some of my views on how I should approach the Old Testament as I read this book, and I am learning, learning, learning . . . .”
—Ajith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ; Author, Deuteronomy: Loving Obedience to a Loving God
“This book is vintage David Gooding—Christ centred, scholarly yet immensely readable exposition. With verve and skill, he tackles one of the most challenging issues facing every Bible student, presenting many of the rich insights of his teaching ministry. This is a landmark contribution. I found my thinking stimulated and sharpened as I read it.”
—Alan Gamble, Bible Teacher, Glasgow, Scotland

“Some years back I got hold of David Gooding’s An Unshakeable Kingdom and read it with much profit and stimulation, as the exclamation marks and nota benes in the margins attest. This happy experience also moved me to lay my hands on every other Gooding publication I could find. Here then is a guide to Hebrews written with the expertise of the scholar, the clarity of the expositor, and the heart-beat of the preacher; like baby bear’s porridge, it is ‘just right.’”
—Dale Ralph Davis, Author, and previously teaching elder at Woodland Presbyterian Church, Hattiesburg and Professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississipi
“An Unshakeable Kingdom, a commentary on the book of Hebrews, communicates both an inspiring hope and a solemn warning to all those who are following Christ on a journey of faith. This book, by Dr. David Gooding, is written with serious scholarship, penetrating reflection and challenges the reader to uncompromising discipleship.”
—Rev Dr Patrick Fung, General Director, OMF International
“Hebrews is without doubt the crown of the whole Bible. All its great lines of revealed truth flow into and converge here, and are given their full and final expression and application. David Gooding rises to the occasion. His unique gifts as a Bible analyst and expositor are given full play; his delight in the glories of our Lord Jesus Christ matches that of Hebrews itself. It is a bit invidious to single anything out for special mention, but I have never read anything more helpful or perceptive on the Psalm-list in Hebrews chapter one. The whole book is worthwhile for that alone! We owe a great debt to the Myrtlefield Trust for this republication.”
—Alec Motyer, Author, formerly Principal of Trinity College, Bristol
“What a treasure trove of spiritual riches—gleaned from a lifetime in searching the Scriptures.Read these books, and you will be nourished, stretched, and enlightened, as I was’.”

Reviews of “True to the Faith”
Buy now!
“The last time I preached through Acts, True to the Faith was constantly at my side. My copy is marked up on every page—some highlighting, some pencil, some ink, different colors of ink, indicating it has been consulted ‘divers and sundry’ times. With good reason. Gooding not only explains, he stimulates thinking and stirs gratitude. Why any preacher would preach from Acts and not have Gooding at his elbow is beyond me.”
—Dale Ralph Davis, Author, and previously teaching elder at Woodland Presbyterian Church, Hattiesburg and Professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississipi
“In this valuable book David Gooding applies to the Acts of the Apostles the approach that yielded such dividends in According to Luke—close analysis of the text, acute observation of the inter-relations of the individual sections, a clear understanding of the movement and intention of the whole—and throughout a firm understanding of the Bible as the written Word of God, and a delight in its study, and in the emergence of its truth. Happy are those (and surely they will be many) who ‘catch the bug’ of Bible analysis from David Gooding. His work on Acts proves that this is the way into the Bible, the most fruitful and accurate entry into what the Holy Spirit has planned for our instruction. I commend his book on Acts not only for its intrinsic worth (pure gold!) but as an example to follow and a standard to which to aspire.”
—Alec Motyer, Author, formerly Principal of Trinity College, Bristol
“I own around a dozen commentaries on the Book of Acts and this is by some distance the best of them. David Gooding combines a remarkable variety of expertise—linguistic, literary, theological, philosophical—with the experience of a lifetime of teaching the Bible to bring us a fresh, original and brilliant analysis, with compelling logic and accessible style. In addition to the superb exposition the reader—and especially the Bible teacher—will find much in the way of contemporary application to some of the biggest issues facing the church.”
—Gilbert Lennox,?Bible teacher and elder at Glenabbey Church
“Insightful comments and warm and piercing pastoral application are the features of this writing. I try only to have three commentaries with me in any series and in both Luke and Acts, David Gooding’s commentaries are part of the trio.”
—David Cook, Author, formerly Principal of Sydney Missionary and Bible College
“What a treasure trove of spiritual riches—gleaned from a lifetime in searching the Scriptures. Read these books, and you will be nourished, stretched, and enlightened, as I was.”
