What Was the Age of Exploration? (Catherine Daly)
$5.95Land ho! Discover what the Age of Exploration was all about in this wonderful addition to the bestselling Who HQ series!
Before the fifteenth century, European sailors were unsure what waited for them beyond their well-known travel routes around the Mediterranean Sea, so they kept within sight of land. But all of that changed after Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal started sending ships down the coast in the hope of finding a sea route to India and Africa. This was the beginning of a giant leap toward understanding what the globe actually looked like. Certain European nations grew rich and powerful from the New World gold and lands they claimed, while advanced, long-standing civilizations like the Aztecs and Incas were destroyed in the cruelest of ways.
This book also features the fun black-and-white illustrations and engaging 16-page photo insert that readers have come love about the What Was? series!

William Wilberforce: His Unpublished Spiritual Journals
$26.95William Wilberforce (1759–1833) is best remembered as a leading figure in the movement to have the slave trade abolished throughout the British Empire. He was a Member of Parliament from the age of 21 until he retired due to ill health at the age of 66. His conversion in 1785 caused him to change his lifestyle and to commit his future life and work to the service of God.
He wrote a series of spiritual journals as a record of his spiritual pilgrimage. These journals are an honest record of Wilberforce’s spiritual life: the Scriptures and Christian books he read; people he met; people he witnessed to; his spiritual and physical struggles; and many other fascinating insights.
Throughout his writings his constant desire to be a better Christian is striking. This man, admired by many, saw himself as a sinner, and his diaries are filled with his striving to put this sin to death. He follows a Puritan pattern of self–introspection and his journals are form of spiritual confession.

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.
