The Battle (A. L. O. E.)

Jostled in the rough thoroughfare of the world, Aleck is forced to obey promptly, act decidedly, and expose himself fearlessly and freely. What he needs most is a quick hand, a ready eye, and a gallant heart! Just as the thunderous waves threaten to swallow him up, he sees a life-boat in the midst of the storm!

My Mates and I (O. F. Walton)

He lives for the moment, giving no thought to the pain he may be inflicting on himself and others. But it is also a story of redemption – giving us a glimpse of God’s loving hand that is still stretched out to us with mercies.

(U) John Ploughman’s Talk (Charles Spurgeon)
$18.50A book very different than any of Charles Spurgeon’s theological writings, which makes it even more special. It’s a book that cuts to the chase with his witty yet straightforward discourse on personal issues that were relevant back then and continue to demand attention today.
It appears that, where formal sermons may have fallen on deaf ears, then Spurgeon personalizes himself as farmer “John Ploughman”. He takes to the streets in the common language of the people and lays bare the issues of man in his no-nonsense style. Highly recommended reading for Family Devotions!
