About Us

Second Ref Press is a publisher dedicated to what some have called the "Second Reformation"—a reformation which is yet to come. In the words of John Stott:

"If the sixteenth century recovered the 'priesthood of all believers' (every Christian enjoying through Christ a direct access to God), perhaps the twentieth century will recover the 'ministry of all believers' (every Christian receiving from Christ a privileged ministry to men)." He also said, "For clearly the way the whole body grows is for all its members to use their God-given gifts. These gifts are so beneficial both to those who exercise their ministry faithfully and to those who receive it that the church becomes steadily more healthy and mature." (The Message of Ephesians, p.168)

Whether to effectively pray for others with the presence, power and heart of God, or to know and teach the Word of God, Second Ref books are written to equip the priesthood of all believers so we can take part in the greatest privilege imaginable: partnering with God in His ministry.
