History
It has often been said, “Those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it” – an adage that has been undeniably proven not only in the histories of nations, but of the church and its denominations. Across the span of the centuries, so often the progress that has been made in the kingdom of God is ground that is lost and has to be regained; old heresies re-appear in the guise of ‘fresh perspectives’, which are nothing more than lies against the truth, merely rehashed with new labels applied.
The Bible student must needs also be a history student. These resources will enrich your knowledge of church and world history, with selections for the scholar, seminary or Bible college student, or for general readership, including many for children of all ages.

A New Exposition of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 (Rob Ventura)
$29.95We sold out faster than expected on this title! More are due in on 1/20/23.
For centuries, Baptists have published confessions of faith as formal statements of their beliefs. Chief among these is the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. This doctrinal statement is a spiritual treasure trove worthy of our fresh attention. In this new study, more than twenty contributors unpack its timeless biblical truths, ‘things which are most surely believed among us’ (Luke 1:1). Our prayer is that the Lord will use this volume to richly edify and sanctify His people worldwide, and to assist the churches in pursuing biblical holiness and doctrinal purity. May these labors send God’s people back again and again to the Bible, which is—as the confession states—the ‘only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience’ (1.1).

A Praying Church: Becoming a People of Hope in a Discouraging World (Paul E. Miller)
$18.95In our current culture, the church and prayer are often dismissed as irrelevant. But when believers gather and pray together, powerful things happen: the Spirit equips the saints for ministry, the helpless are met with help, and believers experience the joy of being led by the Spirit of Jesus. In this book, Paul E. Miller, bestselling author of A Praying Life, casts a vision for a return to the simple yet life-changing practice of praying together.
Through personal stories and biblical examples, Miller teaches the why, what, and how of praying together. Readers will learn how praying with other Christians can transform their communities into beacons of hope and be given practical strategies—such as finding a prayer partner and prioritizing a structured prayer time—to implement these changes in their own church.

May God use the contributions of these authors to raise up preachers who fit the words of Francis Wayland (1796–1865): “From the manner in which our ministers have entered upon the work, it is evident that it must have been the prominent object of their lives to convert men to God.”

Absolute Predestination (Jerome Zanchius)
$9.95“Jerome Zanchius (1516-1590) is one of the great names of Reformed theology alongside Peter Martyr, John Calvin, and Theodore Beza. Jonathan Edwards referred to him as ‘the best of Protestant writers in his judgment.’ John Farthing claimed that Zanchius ‘lived and breathed in dialogue with scripture.’ The hymnist Augustus Toplady (and original English publisher of this work) said Zanchius’s work was ‘from beginning to end, a regular chain of solid argument: deduced from the unerring word of divine revelation, and confirmed by the co-incident testimonies of some of the greatest lights that ever shone in the Christian church.’”

Ann Judson: Missionary Wife (Arabella Stuart)
$9.95Each of the books in this series focuses on a woman in history who has impacted the world for Christ, with a special emphasis on her role as a completer to a “contender for the faith.” Ann Judson left for the mission field confident and enthusiastic – but she finished meek and lamb-like. Her sufferings for Christ transformed her into the image of the Lamb and fitted her to join the ranks of “those of whom the world was not worthy.” For His sake she was put to death all day long. Following in His steps, she left for the mission field like a lamb to the slaughter. Yet she deemed Him worthy, and did not shrink back. For His name’s sake she bore up, alone, under horrific torments of body and soul that no human could undergo apart from the sustaining grace of God. Her devotion to the lamb and willingness to follow Him wherever He led made her radiate His beauty and display His worth.
