Renewal: The Church That Expands Outward (Luke H. Davis)
$10.75$12.99
1600–1890
The Protestant Reformation had redrawn the map of the Christian world. Now the Church sought to take the hope of the Christian Gospel where it had not been before.
The nearly three centuries covered in this volume give us a picture of the incredible energy and great expansion of the Church throughout the world, and the people who led the way through a variety of abilities that God gave them. Harry Hosier, William Wilberforce, Emilie Mallet, and Sojourner Truth took bold stands against wrongdoing and injustice. Cyril Lucaris, John Owen, John Bunyan, and David Brainerd suffered well as they faithfully shared the goodness of Christ. Great preachers arose in the form of Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and Charles Spurgeon, all of whom communicated the Gospel with clarity and passion. And God stirred the hearts of missionaries like Robert Moffat, Hudson Taylor, and Dwight Moody to offer hope in Christ to those who were walking in spiritual darkness.
Recommended for ages 11+

Endorsements:
The result was a Church that, by the end of this era, had expanded to lands previously unreached, bringing glory to the Lord who continued to guide His Church.
… a chance to see history unfold. … Each story is vividly told so that the reader learns how the Gospel impacted each person and the world around them.
Linda Finlayson, Author of ‘God’s Timeline’ and ‘God’s Bible Timeline’
In this volume, Luke Davis uses his biographical skills to take us on a journey through the 17th to the 19th centuries. Once again, as in his previous volumes, he brings his characters colourfully to life, and stimulates us to want to know more about their persons and their times, in those three epoch–making centuries of church history.

Reign: The Church in the Middle Ages (Luke H. Davis)
$10.75During the Middle Ages the church labored to build a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities in which the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux answered the call to reform that community and theology. And when the church’s leaders drifted from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers in Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus arose to call God’s people back to the grace of God.
This was a Church that sought to reign, love and conquest, a Church that wanted to secure freedom, and proclaim the gospel. When that Church fell into corruption it undertook its own reform. Which one of these is the medieval Church? They all are! And in that we can find hope in the God Who loves His Church as we seek to live in His name.
