Isobel Kuhn: Lights in Lisuland (Irene Howat)
$8.99
There is no nation by the name of Lisuland, but the Lisu are a people group of over one million, who live mostly in China, Burma, and Thailand. When young Isobel Kuhn first went there in 1928, very few of the Lisu people knew anything at all about Jesus Christ.
Today, the Lisu have some of highest numbers of true Christians of any people-group on the globe! The story of Isobel Kuhn is one of history’s greatest incidents of God using a single young woman, despite all her self-doubts, as she relied upon Him to use her to share the love of Christ.

Commendation:
“This book tells of the power of prayer in their lives and of the many sacrifices of creature comforts they endured joyfully and without complaint. It details fascinating descriptions of ship travel to and from China and the Philippines. It could be read profitably by an adult, a student, or read aloud to an entire family. School-aged children would find it an appropriate selection for a book report, too.” — Reformation and Revival magazine

William Wilberforce: The Freedom Fighter (Derick Bingham)
$8.99“No! No!”, cried the little boy. “Please no! I want to stay with my Mother!”
“Be quiet!,”, shouted the man who had roughly pulled his mother from him. She was taken to a raise platform and offered for sale immediately. The heart-broken mother was to be separated from her little boy for the rest of her life.
This was the fate of millions of women and children in the years before slavery was finally abolished. One man stood alone, against nearly all the leaders of his nation, insisting that this hideous practice be made illegal, and his passion gradually transformed the outlook of a nation. His name was William Wilberforce.
It took him 45 years of his life to do it, but William was determined. He would make the business of “slave trading” illegal in England, no matter how long he had to work to do it! This inhumanity had to be stopped, and it took a man with strong faith in Christ and love for people to transform one of the ugliest features of his nation. A story that must be told to every generation!
