This book appeared in 2025 and so was written at or near the time of John MacArthur’s death (d. July 14, 2025). MacArthur writes the entire book, perhaps over a period of several months or even years due to his failing health in his last days. However, the book is very much MacArthur’s position of […]

The Glory of Heaven
John MacArthur wrote this book in 1996 and it was republished by Crossway Books in 2013. It is a timely book today (2025) because of the controversies and various views on what heaven will be like. This is especially critical due to the recent view called The New Creation Model. In that view heaven is […]
What the Bible Says About Parenting
This is a 2000 book by John MacArthur on parenting. It is always interesting to read a book about a cultural topic such as parenting 20+ years after it is written. However, MacArthur does his usual good job of staying with the Scriptures, and those principles are not affected by time. Most of the book […]
The Divorce Dilemma
John MacArthur has taken the “Innocent Party View” of divorce and remarriage throughout his writing career. This 2009 book is no different. He says, “In God’s sight, the bond between a husband and wife is dissolved only by death (Romans 7:2), adultery (Mathew 19:9), and an unbeliever’s leaving (1 Corinthians 7:15)” (p. 81). This book […]
Divine Design
This 2011 book by John MacArthur addresses the needs of the family in the midst of a negative culture. It is divided into three parts: God’s design for human beings; God’s design for marriage; and God’s design for the church. MacArthur mentions complementarity and egalitarianism which is an early recognition of the controversy (2011). He […]
Christ’s Prophetic Plans
This is a 2012 book edited (and contributed to) by John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue. It is a good book and a great help in supporting “futuristic premillennialism.” The first two chapters are also a defense of dispensationalism and there is a chapter defending a pretribulational rapture. In addition there is a chapter on why […]
Successful Christian Parenting
John MacArthur wrote this book in 1998 but it remains one of the most thoroughly biblical catalogs of Scriptures and topics on the Christian family. It is subtitled, “Raising your child with care, compassion, and common sense.” His proposition might be summarized in this short paragraph: “In other words, children do no go bad because […]
Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong
This 2009 book is done by MacArthur and other staff at Grace Community Church. I found it to be very helpful in a number of different areas that affect the local church. It is divided into four sections: Entertainment and Leisure; Morality and Ethics; Politics and Activism; and Tragedy and Suffering. I thought it was […]
Alone with God
This is a 1995 reprint by Victor Books of an earlier study by MacArthur on prayer. I was taken by the title and was not disappointed. Prayer must be our primary way of fellowship with God and our first weapon in our fight for truth. The bulk of the book is a study on the […]
