R. C. Sproul: A Life
“This book is worth your time because it celebrates a man worth remembering. R. C. was a masterful theologian who could so easily squeeze sweetness from what others considered dry doctrine. His sermons and books beautifully adorned the gospel, but so did his life.
It’s what I love about Stephen Nichols’s remarkable work. He takes us behind the scenes to reveal the true makings of this great saint of the twentieth century, why his words endure, and why we are inexorably drawn to his live-large character. I’ve always admired R. C. Sproul for his razor-sharp mind; now, with this biography, he’s printed on my heart.
Thank you, Stephen Nichols, for helping the reader fall in love with this lion of a man, my friend, the good Doctor Sproul.”

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.

The Mighty Weakness of John Knox (Douglas Bond)
John Knox, the great Reformer of Scotland, is often remembered as something akin to a biblical prophet born out of time—strong and brash, thundering in righteous might. In truth, he was “low in stature, and of a weakly constitution,” a small man who was often sickly and afflicted with doubts and fears.
In The Mighty Weakness of John Knox, author Douglas Bond shows that Knox did indeed accomplish herculean tasks, but not because he was strong and resolute in himself. Rather, he was greatly used because he was submissive to God; therefore, God strengthened him. That strength was displayed as Knox endured persecution and exile, faced down the wrath of mighty monarchs, and prayed, preached, and wrote with no fear of man, but only a desire to manifest the glory of God and to please Him.
For those who see themselves as too weak, too small, too timid, or simply too ordinary for service in God’s kingdom, Knox’s life offers a powerful message of hope—the biblical truth that God often delights to work most powerfully through people who are most weak in themselves but most strong in Him.

My Dear Erasmus: The Forgotten Reformer (David Bentley-Taylor)
Born in 1469, Erasmus was to many of his contemporaries the greatest scholar alive: a virtual modern Socrates, whose learning and wisdom had not been equaled for a thousand years. His collected works come to 86 large volumes, and we owe a massive amount of our ability to read various worthy works in our English tongue, to the work of Erasmus. Yet history has not been kind to this man.
Despite his phenomenal achievements, he is largely forgotten, eclipsed by the reformation work of Luther and Calvin. Still, those men knew that Erasmus’ influence was a preface which contributed powerfully to the Great Reformation. Finally, a British scholar has given us a long-overlooked glance at the man whose impact on history has been vastly underestimated.
