Bierton Strict and Particular Baptists
ISBN-13-978-1508408277

     The books tells the on going story of David and Michael Clarke who were criminals in the 60’s but became Christians some 25 years apart. The book tells of their earlier lives before conversion and how they changes though believing the gospel. It is written for religious persons, but not exclusively,  who may never have lived in the margins of society.  It clearly demonstrates that the doctrines of grace are those truths taught in the bible and makes it clear that salvation is of the Lord and not the way Arminian’s teach.
     It tells of the religious conflicts that David  experienced and how he dealt with them seeking to correct the errors of the ignorant.  David views are clearly  Calvinistic and he is  a defender of the doctrine of predestination and particular redemption. David also points out that most Christians have misunderstood the book of Revelation and says that it is a prophesy given by the Lord to John about the future destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and not the end of the world as most people think. David believes this book will give any new believer a good grounding in the teaching of the gospel of Christ.

The Bierton Crisis
ISBN-13- 9781508465959

     This is a sad but necessary story telling of David’s cessation from the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptist Church, which was a Gospel Standard cause.  David discovered that the traditions of men spoil the work of God in mens lives. He tells of the  uncorrected errors in essential doctrines which leads to religious darkness. David say’s this book is for those who know their bible and are seeking to preserve the truth of Christ. David believes the truth of particular redemption and that the gospel was the rule of life for the believer and not the law of Moses. The Bierton church slipped into errors on both parts and opposed the truth. David remains the sole surviving member of the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptists church because the church never did terminate his membership.  This book tells the story and  deals with all major doctrinal matters of the gospel. It is suited for the serious minded Christian.
 

 

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

     This book tells about the rise of women elders in the church. Which is a new thing.  With a forward by Dr Ken Matto. It tells of David’s encounter with elders who were intent on appointing women elders in a church dispute the scriptural clear instructions that a women do not qualify to be  elders in a christian church..
     David tell of his encounter with these elders and how he sought to help and put matters right and as a result was able to examine the scriptural teaching concerning the roles of men and women in the church. He points out the reason for women covering their  head in worship and the patten of Christian marriage representing Christ and his Church and the relationship between man and his wife. David points out that a failure to understand the doctrines of grace and predestination leaves man open to this kind of error since it is clear that the apostles taught  that men are to be elders and not women.
