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.

Autobiography of George Muller, or, A Million and a Half in Answer to Prayer
We recently obtained all remaining copies of this volume!
“George Muller has for years been a pacesetter for me in prayer. His autobiography is a veritable orchard of faith-building fruit. I have found Muller’s way absolutely crucial in my own life: to be with the Lord before I am with anyone else and let Him speak to me first.”
— John PiperThis volume is the only complete edition of Mueller’s autobiography in print today, covering some of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the Christian church, as a man with a burden for spreading the gospel through orphanage work received one and a half million pounds (British) of support without ever issuing an appeal, and whose work took care of over 10,000 children.

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.

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.”

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.

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 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.
