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.

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.

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.

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.
