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.

Memoir and Remains of Robert Murray M’Cheyne (Andrew Bonar)
Few biographical books have been more loved than this one. First published in 1844, it has sold well over 1 million copies, because few books have had such a wide influence on the lives of God’s people, to elevate our aspirations, because of the passionate pursuit of the service of God in the brief, zealous life of M’Cheyne. Includes many of his letters, sermons, brief diary entries and writings, and hymns he composed.
Testimonies to its usefulness were received from many lands and Christians of differing theological persuasions have testified to the blessing experiences through reading it. ‘This is one of the best and most profitable volumes ever published’, said C.H. Spurgeon. ‘The memoir of such a man ought surely to be in the hands of every Christian and certainly every preacher of the Gospel.’ Few books contain such variety and wealth of spiritual matter between their covers. As well as the biography portion of the book, covering 174 of its 648 pages, the work contains a good selection of letters, sermons, other writings and sacred songs.

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 White Chief of Cache Creek (Faith M. Martin & Charles R. McBurney)
In 1889, William Work Carithers went to Oklahoma with two urgent goals—bringing the good news of Christ to the Indians, and helping them gain skills necessary to survive the white culture that was about to engulf them. But he had only twelve years before white settlers arrived on the reservation, 30,000 in a single day.
The effect on the Indian way of life was devastating. The narrative follows Carithers to the end of his life, when his once successful mission begins to falter, and he assesses what has been accomplished.

John Calvin: His Life and Influence (Robert Reymond)
So, you don’t consider yourself a Calvinist? Well, John Calvin would probably have been the last man to ask you to. This is the freshest new biography of the man who God used to reform the church and change the lives of many generations, by his insistence that the Scriptures alone be our authority.
Even most students of church history today have little idea who the man John Calvin was, having read more from uninformed contemporary critics than original sources. Robert Reymond has studied Calvin himself and in the light of those who knew him. The reality is quite different from the caricatures often painted today.
