Fastened Like Nails Vol. 1 (F. W. Boreham)
$13.50Formerly titled Wings of the Morning.
This treasure sat on my bookshelf for over twenty years! I am grateful that during his morning address at the Guild, Dr. Zacharias quoted snippets of wisdom by Frank Boreham, whom he considers to be one of the most important theologians of his personal library.
I now place Fastened Like Nails as one of my top ten books. It describes the power of the Word of God in the lives of such men as Luther, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Knox, Whitfield, Pascal, Judson, Livingstone, Paton, Carey, Newton, Bunyan, Cromwell, Taylor, Spurgeon, and Chalmers. The background of each man’s personal conquest makes every story rich and colorful, mixed with tragedy and sacrifice.

Tom Watkins’ Mistake (Emma Leslie)
$14.75Certainly one of the best Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Stories ever published. In a day of situational ethics, Tom Watkins’ Mistake is a story which provides an excellent opportunity to cement into the fabric of children’s minds that one’s character is formed by one’s obedience to the truth, even in small things.
Whether or not one’s character is godly will be evidenced by humility, as Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines character. Mark Hamby said: “I believe this story will have a significant eternal impact upon many lives. It will be exciting to hear the testimonies!”
Tom Watkins’ Mistake realistically illustrates common temptations encountered by young people today. In a day of situational ethics, this relevant story speaks volumes. A brother and sister, enticed by material gain, forfeit their good reputation. We need to guard against dishonesty and deception!

Ryerson Press said of him , “Archer Wallace is a boys’ man–the boy in him will never die. Boys gather round him at a football match or hockey game or Sunday School. Many boys write to him… with rare insight he is able to understand them… (His books) have proved an inspiration to boys the world over.”
