Johnson, an American slave, born into captivity and longing for freedom— Spurgeon, an Englishman born into relative ease and comfort, but, longing too for a freedom of his own. Their respective journeys led to an unlikely meeting and an even more unlikely friendship, forged by fate and mutual love for the mission of Christ.
Steal Away Home is a new kind of book based on historical research, which tells a previously untold story set in the 1800s of the relationship between an African-American missionary and one of the greatest preachers to ever live.

George Whitefield: The Evangelist (John Pollock)
$13.50John Pollock vividly portrays George Whitefield and his times – George’s long search for peace with God, his joy at being forgiven and justified through Christ’s atoning death and then his enthusiastic sharing of the Gospel.

Travelling many miles by horseback, crossing the Atlantic on countless occasions, sometimes experiencing illness and fatigue, countless people were drawn to Christ through this man – the “Billy Graham” of his time. Come and catch the drama and also the passion and commitment George Whitefield had for the Gospel.

Charles Spurgeon: The Prince of Preachers
$8.99Charles Spurgeon was a simple country lad who went on to become one of the best-known preachers in London, Europe and the world. But as a young lad, caught one night in a furious snowstorm, Charles snuck into the back pew of a dusty country chapel to get out of the bad weather. He had no idea that he would not only escape the freezing temperatures outside, but would escape this corrupt world, when he was faced with the most important decision of his life: will he turn to Christ?
A wrinkled old man started to preach, leading Charles to suppose this would be a thoroughly boring service – but once the words “Look unto Jesus and be saved” were announced, a cold, grumpy teenager began to realize that God’s word can change you, completely!
Before long, Spurgeon was the most well-known preacher in the land, touching the hearts of every class in his society.
