Gladys Aylward: No Mountain Too High
$8.99Few missionaries have experienced the adventure, mystery and danger that Miss Aylward did in her work for the Lord in China. Rescuing children from battle zones during a time when China was war-torn was a secondary goal to her, compared to winning them to Christ.
A woman of great faith who worked against enormous odds to manifest the power of God unto salvation.
Gladys Aylward was born in 1902 in the outskirts of London and was raised in the Anglican church. She was never married, and in 1930 she took a train across Russia to China to help aging missionary Agnes Lawson found an inn. In 1932, the province of Mandarin appointed her “foot-inspector” – a job she used to evangelize villagers all over the province.
Her conduct during a prison riot in 1933 cemented her reputation as a woman of wisdom. She became a Chinese citizen in 1936. During World War 2 she was wounded by Japanese soldiers, only months before leading 100 orphans across a dangerous mountain range to safety. Near death, she recovered by God’s grace to evangelize until the Communists evicted her from China in the late 1940s. “The Small Woman”, as she was called, won international fame in 1957 through the popular movie version of her life, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. She founded an orphanage in 1958 in Taiwan, where she died in 1970.

Robert Moffat: Africa’s Brave Heart (Irene Howat)
$8.99The story of a Scottish minister and his wife in Africa – the precursors to David Livingstone. With a sword, a shovel, a Bible, and great courage, Robert used the skills he had learned growing up in a Scottish village to translate the Bible into Tswana and to share God’s love with Africa.
Robert Moffat could think on his feet and use his hands. He was strong, practical, and just the sort of guy you needed to back you up when you were in a difficult spot. Not only that, he had courage – loads of it! And he longed to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the people of Africa.
As Robert faced the dangers of drought, wild animals, and even the daggers and spears of the people he had come to help, he used his unique collection of talents to spread the gospel. He became known as “Africa’s Brave Heart”, as he blazed a trail into unknown regions, starting a work on that dark continent which continues to this day.
Robert Moffat and his wife preceded David Livingstone to Africa, and helped him to learn enough about Africa to begin to yearn to go there himself. After some meetings in the United Kingdom, David Livingstone married the Moffat’s daughter, Mary.

John Newton: A Slave Set Free
$8.99A youth biography in the Trailblazers series of John Newton, the famous slave-trader turned minister and hymn-writer!
John stood and watched, as some of the largest waves he had ever seen threw themselves at the ship. Very little stood between the young slave ship captain and death – and he knew it! His panic and fear made him think only of himself and nothing for the hundreds of men, women and children chained in the hold below.
However, God still heard John Newton’s prayers and the cries of the tortured humanity pleading for mercy and justice. The very man selling them into slavery would soon fight for their freedom. John Newton was one of the worst abusers of the African slave, as he traveled the oceans to make money from their misery – but in the end, his life was changed and so were theirs.

Everyday Holiness (Josh Moody)
$10.75Focusing on chapters 3 & 4 of Paul’s letter to the Colossians, Everyday Holiness starts by highlighting that true holiness begins with new life in Christ. He has not only saved us from death but set us apart for life. Those who are in Christ are not only called to be holy but are given the power to be so through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Like the Colossians, we need to realize that as, in Christ, we already are ‘holy,’ we are now to live in holy ways, setting our minds and hearts on following the pattern of Christlike living. Moody uncovers Paul’s practical steps to begin, by putting sin to death, including tackling particular sins that are common to us all.

Reign: The Church in the Middle Ages (Luke H. Davis)
$10.75During the Middle Ages the church labored to build a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities in which the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux answered the call to reform that community and theology. And when the church’s leaders drifted from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers in Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus arose to call God’s people back to the grace of God.
This was a Church that sought to reign, love and conquest, a Church that wanted to secure freedom, and proclaim the gospel. When that Church fell into corruption it undertook its own reform. Which one of these is the medieval Church? They all are! And in that we can find hope in the God Who loves His Church as we seek to live in His name.
