All Things For Good (Thomas Watson) (#17)
$8.75$10.00
First published in 1663 by the title A Divine Cordial, Watson simply but profoundly explains how God does in fact make all things – good and bad things – work together for the good of His people. By far the most useful explanation of Romans 8:28 ever written.
Watson said that two of the greatest obstacles he faced as a pastor were:
1) To make unbelievers sad, so they recognize their need of God’s grace, and:
2) To make believers joyful, in their experience of God’s grace!
He wrote this book to make an effort to undo the second difficulty: by explaining Paul’s teaching in Romans 8:28. As for his own experience, Watson wrote this the year after he and 2,000 other ministers were expelled from the Church of England, and thus exposed to much hardship and suffering. This is the rich exposition of a faithful man who lived in circumstances when only faith in the Word of God could bring him such a confidence.

Glenda’s Story: Led by Grace (Glenda Revell)
$7.99Unwanted from birth and abused throughout her childhood, Glenda was desperate for love and a sense of belonging. Her only respite from a miserable home life was school, and the welcoming shade of her favorite willow tree, under which she would dream of another life, another family, and pray to a God she did not yet know.
Ultimately, Glenda’s afflictions became the cords with which God drew her to Himself. Receiving His salvation, she understood that God had saved her from her own sinfulness, more than horrid conditions and treatment by others. This is a story of great hope, an amazing account of how our merciful Savior brings light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow, and peace out of pain. Highly recommended by Elisabeth Elliot.

The Bruised Reed (Richard Sibbes) (#26)
$8.95“I shall never cease to be grateful to Richard Sibbes, who was a balm to my soul at a period in my life when I was overworked and badly overtired, and therefore subject in an unusual manner to the onslaughts of the devil. I found at that time that Richard Sibbes who was known in London in the early 17th century as “the Heavenly Doctor Sibbes” was an unfailing remedy. The Bruised Reed quietened, soothed, comforted, encouraged and healed me.” Â — Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Richard Sibbes (1577-1635), one of the most influential figures in the Puritan movement during the earlier years of the seventeenth century, was renowned for the rich quality of his ministry. The Bruised Reed shows why he was known among his contemporaries as ‘the sweet dropper’.
The Bruised Reed is now issued for the first time in a smaller format in the Puritan Paperbacks series. Some of the language and punctuation have been modernized to make the work more accessible.
