John Knox: The Sharpened Sword (Catherine Mackenzie)
$8.99John Knox spent his life with a sword in one hand and a Bible in the other and he wasn’t afraid to use either. He began his theological life as a bodyguard to George Wishart – and when that young servant of the Lord was put to death by the religious authorities, the event was what persuaded Knox of the need to preach himself, to awaken his country from the death of injustice and spiritual poverty that afflicted it.
Knox was never made for a quiet life, so when he ran from one danger, he often found himself headed straight for another. Escaping from the powers that be brought him straight into a castle siege and from there he ended up as a galley slave on a French frigate. No wonder Knox valued liberty! – as one who had felt the grasp of slavery’s chains and the cut of the enemy’s whip.
But his thirst for true freedom came from his longing for God’s Word to be preached. John knew that true liberty only came from being in service to God and his Kingdom. Many stood against him and they still do today… but he gave much to his country and to his God and the church and Scotland owe John Knox – they owe him thanks as they owe the God he served thanks for calling such men to be his preachers.

Mary Slessor: Servant to the Slave (Catherine Mackenzie)
$8.99Mary Slessor grew up in the slums of Dundee in the 1800’s. Industry was booming but housing was sub- standard and life expectancy was low. Illness, disease and malnutrition killed many children before they reached the age of five. And Mary’s own family was both poor and abusive! What hope did she have of being “used by God”?
But in the plan of God, the slums of Dundee were Mary’s training ground for a much fiercer battle. Only about 25 years old, Mary traveled to West Africa to devote her life reaching the lost tribes of Calibar. And what a culture it was! Among the peoples of Calibar, superstition demanded that families kill twin babies and murder slaves and women at funerals.
But the Lord Jesus Christ used Mary’s labors to set many free from all that – and from their own sins! Her life in the slums of Dundee was the key ingredient to her success as a missionary – that, and her constant trust in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To this day, Calibar remembers Mary Slessor, affectionately known as “Ma”; her influence on that region of Africa was astounding.
