Mary of Orange: At the Mercy of Kings
$8.99If you saw a girl in tears on her wedding day and then heard that the same girl was the reluctant “second in line to the throne”, you might think she was not a strong enough individual to rule. But you’d be wrong.
Mary was a young girl born to privilege, from the Royal line, heir to the throne of England, Scotland and Ireland – and destined to reign herself and change her country. She was brought up to believe in the God of the Bible rather than the fabricated teachings of priests. It was this personal faith that would be her strength as she left her homeland to marry and eventually to rule.

Nine Day Queen of England: Lady Jane Grey (Faith Cook)
$12.50“Kneeling down on the hard wooden scaffold Jane turned to Feckenham who stood by her. “Shall I say this Psalm?”, she faltered. Overcome with emotion…he simply said, “Yea.”
Jane then began to repeat Psalm 51 in English, David’s great prayer of contrition. Jane recited all nineteen verses “in a most devout manner”, and then both she and Feckenham rose to their feet. A deep silence rested over that sad scene. Nothing could be heard except for the quiet sobbing of her lady attendants.
Hardened soldiers, who had witnessed brutality many times before, stood without moving, as Lady Jane called out in a clear voice: “Lord into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Then with a stroke — swift, sharp and terrible — Jane’s short life was ended.
Like the Apostle Paul, she had fought a good fight, finished the course and kept the faith. Henceforth there was laid up for her a crown of righteousness–a crown that none could take from her.”

With the death of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, the most powerful and persuasive evangelical voice in Britain for some 30 years is now silent.
Mark Dever, Senior Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington D.C., wrote:
“Martyn Lloyd-Jones is one of the men I admire most from the 20th century, and the longer time goes on, my admiration of him increases. He had a more profound spiritual vision than anyone else I know.”$28.00 -
J. C. Ryle: That Man of Granite With the Heart of A Child (Eric Russell)
$12.50Finally – a biography of J. C. Ryle! Imagine preparing for a successful career, only to have your plans all totally undermined and left feeling that you had only one option: the Christian ministry! – and to enter it reluctantly. Then imagine learning about the grace of God only afterwards, and God somehow making you useful and effective, to everyone’s surprise! Welcome to the strange and stirring story of J.C. Ryle, English pastor of the 19th century. “It is very good to have Ryle’s story told afresh by someone who understands it so well!” – J. I. Packer.
Ryle was born into a comfortable English family background. His father was a politician and businessman. Ryle was intelligent, a great sportsman (captain of cricket at Eton and Oxford) and was set for a career in his father’s business – then disaster struck! The father’s bank fails, taking all related businesses down with it. Ryle loses his job and his place in society in a moment. One moment, a popular man with great prospects in this world – the next moment, the son of a bankrupt father, with no trade or profession. So as a last resort, Ryle is ordained into the ministry of the church, simply for something to do for a living! Who could have thought that a man who entered the ministry in such an uninspiring way could be so used of God?
