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.

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.”

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.
