Childhood’s Songs of Long Ago: Divine and Moral Songs (Isaac Watts)
$15.95With a Collection of Sonnets, Prayers, and Simplified Piano Arrangements
Includes a brief biographical account of the life of the Rev. Isaac Watts, D. D. Piano accompaniments by Jacqueline Sprinkle. Spiral-bound for ease of use at the piano.
From the Introduction by Jacqueline Sprinkle to this 2007 edition:
“Contemporary Christian music is becoming a vast wasteland of fluff and the serious Christian finds himself being bombarded with vain repetitions, high decibel sounds, and heavy rock beats. These hymns by Dr. Watts were once standard literature for English and American children. The tunes we have chosen for the lyrics are also traditional hymn tunes which are very structured and easy to sing. The lyrics will be easily understood by children and will aid parents and teachers as they seek to apply biblical principles to every area of life.
We believe this volume will prove worthy as a children’s classic to be used alongside other volumes we now have in print, which are specifically selected for youth.”

Looking Unto Jesus (Isaac Ambrose)
$32.00Looking Unto Jesus is a jewel of a volume that explains how the Lord Jesus Christ brings to pass every aspect of the great work of man’s salvation, from first to last. And shows us the sheer joy we can have in knowing that!
We have all heard before that we must turn our eyes away from everything that diverts our sight from “looking unto Jesus”. Why? Well, most plainly, because we cannot fix our eyes on Christ, and other things, at the same time. The eyes cannot look upwards and downwards at once in a direct line. We cannot seriously set our minds on heaven and earth in one thought. Put simply, “No man can serve two masters”, is how Jesus said it (Matt 6:24).
Because, while we look on earthly things, we cannot see the beauty that is in Christ. Indeed, beauty is the attraction of the soul, the soul must see a beauty in that which it desires. But our longing looks after other things diminishes the desirability of Christ in our eyes.

John Jasper: The Unmatched Black Preacher (William Hatcher)
$11.50The acclaimed biography of the life and ministry of John Jasper – the extraordinary preacher of the 19th-century South, who labored not for civil rights or political activism, but for Christ. Crowds of all races gathered to hear this slave preach!
Jasper began to preach the gospel as a slave in Virginia. About half of his preaching career was as a slave and half was as a free man. He had no formal education or seminary training, but was legendary in his time. He often drew large crowds to his meetings of both the black and white race. Governors, judges, legislators, and “learned” white ministers were greatly moved by the power of Jasper’s preaching.
The Sixth Mount Zion Church in Richmond, Virginia stands to this day as a memorial to John Jasper, and nearby is his grave which is marked by a splendid monument. This book was written by Rev. William E. Hatcher, who heard about Jasper and went to hear him preach out of curiosity. He went back again and again and continued attending for twenty years, forging a close friendship with the black preacher, out of which grew his desire to write this biography.

Two Little Confederates (Thomas Nelson Page)
$10.95The boys dubbed “two little confederates” lived in Oakland, Virginia. It was not a handsome village, as modern views are, but down in Old Virginia it passed as one of the best plantations in that region. The boys thought it was the greatest place in the world!
It was quite secluded and lay right between two of the county roads, the Court-house Road on one side and the Great Mountain Road on the other. The boys were Frank and Willy. Their mother called them her “little men”, with much pride; but Lucy Ann, who was taken into the home to help care for them, always coupled their names together and just called them “Frank n Willy.”
These read as unforgettable tales from one of the South’s greatest 19th-century story-tellers; a favorite with children since its original publication in 1888. Two boys, Willie and Frank, are trapped between Union and Confederate lines in war-torn Virginia. The secrets they must keep and the dangers they confront are fascinating to all readers. Highly authentic from a man who lived his boyhood during those times.
