Looking Unto Jesus (Isaac Ambrose)
$32.00Looking Unto Jesus is a jewel of a volume that explains how the Lord Jesus Christ brings to pass every aspect of the great work of man’s salvation, from first to last. And shows us the sheer joy we can have in knowing that!
We have all heard before that we must turn our eyes away from everything that diverts our sight from “looking unto Jesus”. Why? Well, most plainly, because we cannot fix our eyes on Christ, and other things, at the same time. The eyes cannot look upwards and downwards at once in a direct line. We cannot seriously set our minds on heaven and earth in one thought. Put simply, “No man can serve two masters”, is how Jesus said it (Matt 6:24).
Because, while we look on earthly things, we cannot see the beauty that is in Christ. Indeed, beauty is the attraction of the soul, the soul must see a beauty in that which it desires. But our longing looks after other things diminishes the desirability of Christ in our eyes.

Rediscovering the Church Fathers: Who They Were and How They Shaped the Church (Michael A. G. Haykin)
$14.99While the church today looks quite different than it did two thousand years ago, Christians share the same faith with the church fathers. Although separated by time and culture, we have much to learn from their lives and teaching.
This book is an organized and convenient introduction to how to read the church fathers from AD 100 to 500. Michael Haykin surveys the lives and teachings of seven of the Fathers, looking at their role in such issues as baptism, martyrdom, and the relationship between church and state. Ignatius, Cyprian, Basil of Caesarea, and Ambrose and others were foundational in the growth and purity of early Christianity, and their impact continues to shape the church today.

Trial and Triumph: Stories from Church History (Richard Hannula)
$19.50Christianity is a faith in love with history. God took on human flesh and dwelt among us. The Spirit carried that divine work over the centuries, providing courage and maturity even amid our imperfections. Christians find their true family line not through tribes and ethnic blood but in the bond of faithfulness and shed blood that has united our family for millennia. We too often view Church history as the story of obscure aliens instead of the lives of brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers.
In this collection of 46 brief biographies, Hannula sketches the stirring trials and triumphs of many famous and some lesser known figures in our family of faith–including Augustine, Charlemagne, Anselm, Luther, Bunyan, and C.S. Lewis. Through them we can begin to enjoy the old paths and find rest for our souls.

Redemption: The Church in Ancient Times (Luke H. Davis)
$10.75The story of the ancient Church is one of a people who were finding their way over many years by the light that God shined forth for them. Today, we are looking back over the centuries with many more years of understanding but we stand on the shoulders of those who braved persecution, death, debate, and mystery on behalf of generations to come.
