Appendices
In five of the six books I have published there have been appendices. These are short essays that contribute to the subject but that are a little outside the immediate orbit. The appendices are as follows
1. Historical Exposition of the Song of Songs (Heavenly Love)
2. Regeneration under the Law of Moses (What the Bible teaches about being born again)
3. Sample historic confessions or creeds that support a monergistic view of regeneration (What the Bible teaches about being born again)
4. Early heresies and kenotic theories (What Jesus is doing now)
5. Understanding the Lord's Supper (What Jesus is doing now)
6. John 16:26-27 (What Jesus is doing now)
7. Intercession of the saints (What Jesus is doing now)
8. For whom does Jesus intercede? (What Jesus is doing now)
9. An untitled appendix listing the ejected ministers by area, based on Colman and Matthews (1662 The Great Ejection)
10. A list of legitimate illustrations used to describe conscience and its workings (Candle in the Wind)
11.The argument for God from conscience (Candle in the Wind)
12. A brief history of Christian thought with regard to conscience and casuistry (Candle in the Wind)
Goodbookreviews Review of What Jesus is doing now
In What Jesus is Doing Now Gary Brady has put together all in one place all of the biblical material regarding Jesus’ ascension and the work He is doing now he has ascended.
After opening with a couple of chapters focused on orienting the reader as to who Jesus is and what He accomplished by his death and resurrection, Brady utilizes the book of Hebrews alongside Reformed and Puritan theologians and hymn-writers in able retelling and explaining what Jesus is doing now he is seated at the right hand of the Father.
This is a thoroughly biblical account, put together ably by Brady, with a helpful closing chapter on why this is important and how it should impact how Christian disciples now live. Brady also includes five helpful appendices that enable the reader to tackle some of the deeper issues but in a brief and helpful manner. The only drawback is that, aside from a brief bibliography, Brady does not provide any indication as to where he has taken his material from – notably, his quotations are not referenced, which can be frustrating. But other than that, this is a readable and enjoyable introduction to the subject of Christ’s ascension: why it matters and What Jesus is Doing Now.

Evangelical Times Review of What Jesus is doing now
We often reflect on what Jesus did for our salvation in the past and look forward in hope to what he will do when he returns. But we don’t tend to give so much attention to what he is doing now.
Gary Brady attempts to make good that gap in our thinking in this most helpful book.
Brady writes with clarity and simplicity, but there is nothing trite about this work. His treatment is characterised by theological depth, biblical accuracy and sound pastoral wisdom. The insights of wide range of writers are called upon to help us better understand the subject in hand.
The author begins by explaining clearly who he is talking about; the Jesus who is fully God and fully man in one person. It is as the God-Man, exalted to the right hand of the Father that Jesus carries out his present work on our behalf.
At the heart of the book is an exploration the multifaceted work that Jesus is doing now. He is our prophet, priest and king who applies the salvation he accomplished to his people by power of the Holy Spirit. Special attention is given to the intercessory ministry of Christ.
In a final chapter, Brady asks ‘How should we live in the light of these facts?’ Here the reader is challenged to live for Christ’s glory and be encouraged by the fact that our ascended Lord will protect us from our foes. Knowing that he ever lives to make intercession for us should embolden us draw near to the throne of grace in prayer.
Taking time to meditate on what Jesus is doing now should move us to worship him and inflame our longing for his return. With that in mind, this book is highly recommended.
