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.”

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.

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 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 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.”

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.
