Peter Martyr Vermigli: Christian Biographies for Young Readers (Simonetta Carr)
$13.95Born in Florence, Italy, in 1499, Peter Martyr Vermigli decided that he wanted to teach God’s Word when he grew up. After many years of study, he became a well-respected leader in the Roman Catholic Church, yet he questioned the church’s teachings because he believed they were contrary to the Bible.
Eventually forced to flee Italy and the Roman Church, Vermigli joined the Reformers north of the Alps and devoted the rest of his life to teaching, preaching, and writing about the great truths of the Protestant Reformation. He lived in many parts of Europe, and he influenced many of the most important figures of his times.
This volume in the Christian Biographies for Young Readers series retells the story of a servant of Christ who left behind a postion of prominence in the Roman Church to courageously join the cause of the Protestant Reformation. Enhanced by illustrious, photographs, and additional information about the Reformation era, this account shows young readers how God can use the piety and talents of one man to advance the cause of His truth.

The Almost Christian Discovered (Matthew Mead)
$12.50Back in print in a new edition! The Almost Christian Discovered, a classic Puritan work, was written in 1661 and is one of the most important books ever written. The primary point which Mead presents is this:
“There are very many in the world that are almost, and yet but almost Christians; many that are near heaven, and yet are never the nearer; many that are within a little of salvation, and yet shall never enjoy the least salvation; they are within sight of heaven, and yet shall never have a sight of God.”Mead helps his readers to consider twenty (20) signs which most persons would say are the traits of true Christians; then he effectively shows, using biblical examples, how each of them may be equally true of non-Christians.

The Freedom of the Will (Jonathan Edwards)
$23.50The most extensive, logical and Biblical treatment showing the true state of man’s will ever written, by America’s foremost scholar, Jonathan Edwards. This famous New England pastor and thinker of the 18th century meditated on these stirring subjects at great length; a reader will grasp how thoroughly he saw that these truths humble the pride of man and glorify God.
If you’ve believed the American lie that man has a completely “free will”, think again, letting the greatest American theologian who ever lived show you the truth of the matter: we are slaves of sin who need deliverance by the grace of God.

The Works of Hugh Binning
$42.00Hugh Binning (1627-1653) lived at a time when politics and religion were inexorably intertwined. Binning trained as a Philosopher – believing that philosophy was the servant of theology but that both should be taught in parallel. Binning’s writing forms an important bridge between the 17th century, when philosophy in Scotland was heavily dominated by Calvinism, and the 18th century when there was a greater degree of independence between theology and allied philosophy.
Of Binning’s speaking style, it was said: “There is originality without any affectation, a rich imagination, without anything fanciful or extravert, the utmost simplicity, without a thing mean or trifling.” – The Religious Magazine, 1830

Logic: The Right Use of Reason in the Inquiry After Truth (Isaac Watts)
$23.75As a child of Puritan parents, it is not surprising that Isaac Watts was greatly concerned about people’s ability to think clearly. Whether a man was studying for the ministry or any other of the sciences, the ability to reason rightly was of utmost importance. Watts’s work on logic and reason became a standard textbook for nearly 200 years, being used in such schools as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and Yale.
In Logic, Watts address proper thinking under the four basic functions of the human mind: perception, judgment, reasoning, and disposition. In part one, Watts addresses human perception, the cultivation of ideas, and how we associate them with words. In part two, Watts treats human judgment and its ability to construct various kinds of propositions, while giving guidance for avoiding the formation of bad judgments. Part three covers our ability to reason, giving instruction on the use of syllogisms for constructing a good argument. Part four discusses the mind’s disposition as a method of arranging our thoughts for better understanding and memory.
This book will help discipline the mind and train the reader to discern proper thinking and argumentation in seeking truth.

The Duty of Self-Denial and Ten Other Sermons (Thomas Watson)
$13.75One may go to heaven without earthly comforts,
but will not go without self-denial.
We have a natural tendency to fight for our rights and to exert our own will. We have been taught to look out for number one. Yet Jesus clearly said that the first step in following Him is to deny ourselves (Luke 9:23). In this classic treatise, Thomas Watson reminds Christians of their sacred duty of self-denial by explaining what it is and demonstrating how its every act asserts the supremacy of Jesus Christ.

The Pleasantness of a Religious Life (Matthew Henry)
$13.75True piety has true pleasure in it.
In six chapters on Proverbs 3:17, Matthew Henry proves and illustrates the doctrine of religious pleasantness, saying the religious life is the only life worth living. “What was the fall and apostasy of man, and what is still his sin and misery, but the soul’s revolt from the divine life, and giving up itself wholly to the animal life?”
Henry’s work is a treasure, helping to demolish Satan’s insinuation that true religion is boring and burdensome. Read Henry’s Pleasantness of a Religious Life and see why Christians really are the happiest creatures on earth.

Worldly Saints: The Puritans As They Really Were (Leland Ryken)
$17.50Dr. Ryken’s presentation of the Puritan view and style of life is perceptive and accurate. He allows them to speak for themselves on topics ranging from the subjects of church and worship, to money, to marriage and sex. While recognizing that the Puritans were imperfect, as all men, and able to see their faults, the author still paints a favorable and sympathetic portrait of them overall.

The Distinguishing Traits of Christian Character (Gardiner Spring)
$14.50There are certain marks or character traits on a life that only a true believer in Jesus Christ will possess; likewise, there are traits that men put a great deal of confidence in, but which do not prove a man to be in Christ at all! In this important book, first published in 1813, the author skillfully shows which signs distinguish a true Christian and which do not. These include both internal and external marks.
Jonathan Edwards’ classic work, The Religious Affections, was the inspiration which stirred author Gardiner Spring to write this volume, long awaited to come back into print after a 20+ year absence. Spring’s writing on this subject is a solid survey of the kind of self-examination which all of us would be wise and Biblical to bring to our lives.
