The Smallest of Seeds: Forgotten Reformation Heroes (R. A. Sheats)
A priest, a cobbler, a village tailor, a fiery-haired preacher—and a Book that set the world aflame. Such were the humble tools God employed to spark the sixteenth century Reformation in France and French-speaking Switzerland. Who were the men and women behind such a great move of God? What were their names, and have their stories ever been told?
The Smallest of Seeds: Forgotten Reformation Heroes recounts the stories of sixteen forgotten or little-known heroes of the Reformation in French-speaking lands. Ordinary lives which quickly transform into tales of startling bravery and harrowing danger fill each page as the Light of God’s Truth encounters the darkness of human error and sin.
From a priest to a Waldensian pastor, from a lowly printer to an exalted princess, the fascinating accounts of these unknown characters provide a poignant illustration of the fact that God uses all means—particularly ordinary ones—to fulfill His extraordinary plan. These tales are sure to challenge and inspire a new generation of believers to press onward in the glorious work of Reformation in our own day.

C. H. Spurgeon, Autobiography Volume 1: The Early Years
By far, the best biography of Spurgeon, being his own account! Your respect and admiration for this great preacher and man of God will grow through the reading of this hugely important work. While any autobiography lacks the continuity of a well-researched biography, there is a freshness to it that is endearing. Spurgeon relates anecdote-like memories, along with detailed descriptions of some of the more pertinent events of his life.
The chapters dealing with his conviction of sin and subsequent conversion are especially enlightening.
His wife, Susannah Spurgeon, wrote several chapters that are also included – mostly about their courtship and early wedded life.
This volume deals mainly with Spurgeon’s childhood and early ministry with the New Park Street Baptist Church, and of course includes some of Spurgeon’s own humor.

The Young Brahms (Sybil Deucher)
Frail, little son of poor parents, Brahms spent his first years of life in a wretched tenement in the old harbor city of Hamburg, Germany. It is here that the present story opens. His father, an irresponsible musician, forced his son to play piano at base taverns until all hours of the night, for whatever small pay he could get.
But little Johannes’ love for fine music led to better avenues. Soon composing, teaching, and playing on whatever piano was available, he found a path into finer service. Several of Brahms` best known compositions are included in this book. Numerous illustrations and pages of musical score.

The Forgotten Spurgeon (Iain Murray)
From the masterful pen of Iain Murray, this is probably the most incisive, brief historical and theological volume about the great 19th century Baptist, Charles Haddon Spurgeon. In particular focusing on Spurgeon’s uncompromising stance in three major controversies of his times, realms of doctrine still vital for us to learn how to stand for today.
This book seeks to throw light on the reasons which have given rise to the superficial image of Spurgeon as a genial Victorian pulpiteer, a kind of grandfather of modern evangelicalism. Even before his death in 1892 newspapers and church leaders disputed over the features of his life which entitled him to fame. Not his “narrow creed”, but his “genuine loving character” is what is most worthy of remembrance, said one periodical, echoing the public’s general view.
Still, distortions about Spurgeon continued, and he forecast himself how the positions he held might fare in the 20th century: “I am quite willing to be eaten by dogs for the next fifty years, but the more distant future shall vindicate me.”

The Life and Times of George Whitefield (Robert Philip)
The best account of Whitefield’s life and ministry in a single volume.
Drawing on the testimonies of those who had a personal knowledge of the man, and from Whitefield’s own journals, letters and sermons, the author has grasped the great lesson of the evangelist’s life, namely: that it is the Holy Spirit who makes preachers.
Robert Philip is not an uncritical biographer, but is ready to note weaknesses and failures that admirers of Whitefield have sometimes passed over. But the outstanding feature of his work is the way in which he allows his subject to speak for himself. He seems to have absorbed all that Whitefield ever said and wrote, and his selection brings us into direct contact with the man. Thus Philip can truthfully write: “This work is chiefly from Whitefield’s own pen. So far as it is mine, it is in his own spirit.”

Ludwig Beethoven and the Chiming Tower Bells (Opal Wheeler)
The story of Ludwig van Beethoven, greatest master musician of all, told skillfully and with feeling, for boys and girls. With hopes of making him a musician, from four years of age, Ludwig was kept by his parents at the piano, hour after hour, until the long exercises were mastered.
This is his story – his inspiring achievements against all odds, with his growing deafness. “Long live Beethoven!”, shouted the audience. But the master could not hear them, and as a singer turned him gently to face the audience, the noble head bowed low as he saw from the flutter of handkerchiefs, the applause that rained upon him.
Thus Opal Wheeler captures the superb quality of musical greatness of Beethoven and communicates it to young people. A stirring tribute to the greatest composer of all. Ages 4-15. Filled with illustrations and musical score.

The Life of John Murray (Iain H. Murray)
Professor John Murray (1898-1975) was recognized in his own lifetime as one of the leading Reformed theologians in the English-speaking world. Born in Scotland, he served in France during the First World War before pursuing studies at the University of Glasgow and then at Princeton Theological Seminary.
In 1929 Murray was invited to teach Systematic Theology at Princeton. This he did for one year, before joining the Faculty of the newly formed Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. There he shared with such scholars and Christian leaders as J. Gresham Machen and Cornelius Van Til in the great struggle to maintain the old Princeton tradition in theology, represented by the Hodges and B. B. Warfield.
John Murray remained at Westminster until his retirement in 1966. He returned to his native Scotland, married and enjoyed a brief period of fatherhood prior to his death in 1974. A careful scholar, an eloquent lecturer, a moving preacher, and author of many outstanding articles and books, Murray’s driving passions were for Christ, his Word, and his people.
