Matthew Henry: Daily Readings, edited by Randall J. Pederson (Fearn: Christian Heritage, 2009). A year's worth of daily readings extracted from Henry's famous six-volume commentary An Exposition of All the Books of the Old and New Testaments. The ESV is used for each daily quotation from the Bible.

The Gospel as Taught by Calvin by R. C. Reed; reprint (Edinburgh: The Banner of Truth Trust, 2009 [n.d.]). Reed (1851-1925) was an American Presbyterian pastor and Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Church Polity at Columbia Theological Seminary, Columbia, South Carolina (1898-1925). The heart of this 146-page book is a summary discussion of the Five Points.

The Work of the Pastor by William Still; reprint (Edinburgh: Rutherford House, and Fearn: Christian Focus Publications, 2001). This book, originally published in 1984, consists of five lectures Still gave in 1964 and 1965 to theological students. In only 152 pages, he gives a very insightful account of what it is a pastor is responsible to do. William Still (1911-1997) was pastor of Gilcomston South Church of Scotland in Aberdeen for 52 years (1945-1997) until just a few months before his death.
