The Baptists, Volume 1: Key People – Beginnings in Britain (Tom Nettles)
The nature of Baptist identity has come to a place of critical importance in church history studies. What exactly constitutes a Baptist? Tom Nettles seeks to answer this fascinating question through examining the lives of some of the most high profile and influential Baptists in history.
A chapter is devoted to each of the following lives: John Spilsbury, William Carey, William Kiffin, Hanserd Knollys, Benjamin Keach, John Gill, Andrew Fuller, John Smyth, Thomas Grantham, Dan Taylor. Also brief profiles of many others. Nettles, a true scholar in our generation, has produced a book that is wonderfully informative and, through its profiles of God-honoring historical figures, should serve us encouragement to all Christians today.

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.

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.”

Foundations of Grace: A Long Line of Godly Men: 1400 BC – AD 100 (Steven Lawson)
A marvelous, unprecedented book, which traces the unbroken line of men who stood for and taught the truths of God’s sovereign grace through the Old Testament up until the time of Christ.
Understanding the doctrines of grace will give you a clearer picture of God’s sovereignty. From the lawgiver Moses to the apostle John, and from the early church fathers to modern defenders of the faith, there has marched onto the stage of human history a long line of godly men, a triumphant parade of spiritual stalwarts who have upheld the doctrines of grace.
In this book, the first volume in an upcoming set of five volumes under the heading: A Long Line of Godly Men series, Dr. Steven Lawson takes you on a heart-stirring survey of the Scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrines of grace.

Delighting in Her Heavenly Bridegroom: The Memoirs of Harriet Newell, Teenage Missionary Wife (Harriet Newell)
Each of the books in this series focuses on a woman in history who has impacted the world for Christ, with a special emphasis on her role as a completer to a “contender for the faith.” When missionary Samuel Newell asked for Harriet Atwood’s hand in marriage, Harriet wrote, “Providence now gives me an opportunity to go myself to the heathen. Shall I refuse the offer? Shall I love the glittering toys of this dying world so well that I cannot relinquish them for God? Forbid it heaven! Yes, I will go. However weak and unqualified I am, there is an all-sufficient Savior ready to support me. In God alone is my hope. I will trust His promises and consider it one of the highest privileges that could be conferred upon me to be permitted to engage in His glorious service among the wretched inhabitants of India…I go…to assist one of Christ’s dear ministers in carrying the glad tidings of salvation to the perishing heathen of Asia.”

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.

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.
