Charles Spurgeon: Who is the Greatest?
$6.99It was a cold winter’s day in the year 1850, when a young man went into a church, only to escape the bad weather. But he got more than he planned on for going in there! The first words he heard were those of an elderly preacher calling out “Look unto me and be saved.”
The preacher had read Isaiah 45:22 and the young man was Charles Spurgeon. Charles had heard the gospel message before from his parents at home. He knew he was a great sinner and that Jesus was the only one who could save him from his sin. From that day onward, he would serve the Lord Jesus Christ. And sooner than anyone expected, he became a preacher of the gospel of grace.
Many in England and America looked up to Charles as the greatest preacher they had ever heard. But Charles knew there was no greatness in himself and that only Jesus is The Great One. He never thought of himself as more than a needy sinner who was privileged to bring the gospel of God’s grace to others.

$8.99When John Welch was a boy, he was stubborn, independent to a fault, and had a mind of his own! But when John came to know Christ, the Spirit of God took that self-serving trait and formed him into a preacher who would let nothing stand in his way for faithfully spreading the truth!

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.”

The Life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Iain Murray)
$18.75The life of Dr Lloyd-Jones has been the subject of comment and assessment in many publications and these have been taken into account. The main purpose of this further biography, however, is to put Dr Lloyd-Jones’ life before another generation in more accessible form. The big story is all here.
When Lloyd-Jones left medicine, he intended only to be an evangelist in a mission hall in South Wales. No one was more surprised than he in being called to a ministry which would eventually affect churches across the world.
How this happened is here explained, but the theme is the person described by F. F. Bruce: “A thoroughly humble man. He was a man of prayer, a powerful evangelist, an expository preacher of rare quality, in the fullest sense a servant of the Word of God.”
Behind that theme a greater one emerges. In Lloyd-Jones’s own words: “My whole life experiences are proof of the sovereignty of God and his direct interference in the lives of men. I cannot help believing what I believe. I would be a madman to believe anything else-the guiding hand of God! It is an astonishment to me.”

William Wilberforce: The Freedom Fighter (Derick Bingham)
$8.99“No! No!”, cried the little boy. “Please no! I want to stay with my Mother!”
“Be quiet!,”, shouted the man who had roughly pulled his mother from him. She was taken to a raise platform and offered for sale immediately. The heart-broken mother was to be separated from her little boy for the rest of her life.
This was the fate of millions of women and children in the years before slavery was finally abolished. One man stood alone, against nearly all the leaders of his nation, insisting that this hideous practice be made illegal, and his passion gradually transformed the outlook of a nation. His name was William Wilberforce.
It took him 45 years of his life to do it, but William was determined. He would make the business of “slave trading” illegal in England, no matter how long he had to work to do it! This inhumanity had to be stopped, and it took a man with strong faith in Christ and love for people to transform one of the ugliest features of his nation. A story that must be told to every generation!

Thomas Cranmer: The King’s Ambassador (David Luckman)
$8.99Too often, we want our heroes to have no faults. We want them to do the right thing, standing tall, with no stain on their life or character. But everyone makes mistakes. The life of Thomas Cranmer shows that God uses failures in his church for his own glory.
He moved amongst Kings and Queens, influencing the throne of England and the center of national power. But he lived at a time when the power of the monarch was absolute and sometimes the decisions you made were a matter of life and death.
Thomas Cranmer’s life is perhaps best known for a decision he made that he later regretted and deeply repented of.

Sermons of the Great Ejection (#3)
$8.75A fine introduction to Puritan preaching, this volume also recalls one of the great turning points in English Christianity — for these sermons were preached on ‘the Farewell Sunday’ in August, 1662, when two thousand ministers left the national Church for conscience’ sake. Much has been written on that Great Ejection, but nothing is more important than to hear the ejected speak for themselves. Their watchword was:
“I preach as never sure to preach again,
And as a dying man to dying men.”This new edition of Sermons of the Great Ejection not only commemorates the 350th anniversary of a noteworthy historical event but, more importantly, gives a real insight into the theology, godliness, and preaching of the Puritans.
