The Revolt: A Novel in Wycliffe’s England (Douglas Bond)
$9.75As a secretary at the battle of Crécy, Hugh West’all has come close to death many times in his short career. But when he leaves the war behind to enter the stone halls of Oxford, he meets John of Wycliffe and soon embarks on a mission even more exciting—and perhaps just as dangerous.
Using his scribe’s quill to translate the Bible into English, the language of the common people, Hugh begins to understand the beauty of the gospel as never before. But he and his friends are not safe. The corrupt and decadent church is planning to choke Wycliffe’s translation and silence him forever.

Light From Old Times (J. C. Ryle)
$29.00The 19th century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J.C. Ryle, it was an age of great ignorance too. ‘With all the stir made about education’, he wryly observed, ‘the ignorance of our own country’s history is something lamentable and appalling and depressing.’
What particularly distressed Ryle was the scant knowledge of the English Reformation evident amongst his contemporaries. In this lay a grace danger: one of the reasons so many congregations drift form their evangelical foundations is their sheer ignorance of Christian history, and their lack of understanding of the major doctrinal controversies and why they matter.
So Ryle taught that one of the best ways to stop Christians wavering ‘with every changing wind of doctrine’ (Eph. 4:14) is to instill in them a deep love for Reformation and Puritan teaching, and a willingness to suffer for those gospel truths. The Bible often calls us to remember the past, Ryle explained, but the devil tries to make us forget. If the church is to be strengthened, then Christians must be persuaded to read the saints of the past and to learn the lessons of church history.

Fastened Like Nails Vol. 1 (F. W. Boreham)
$13.50Formerly titled Wings of the Morning.Â
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.

Reign: The Church in the Middle Ages (Luke H. Davis)
$10.75During the Middle Ages the church labored to build a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities in which the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux answered the call to reform that community and theology. And when the church’s leaders drifted from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers in Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus arose to call God’s people back to the grace of God.
This was a Church that sought to reign, love and conquest, a Church that wanted to secure freedom, and proclaim the gospel. When that Church fell into corruption it undertook its own reform. Which one of these is the medieval Church? They all are! And in that we can find hope in the God Who loves His Church as we seek to live in His name.

Reformation Heroes (Joel R. Beeke, Diana Kleyn)
$21.50The Reformation did not happen instantaneously; it was something God brought to pass over a long period of years. As you read this book, you will learn how the Lord used some people to plant the seeds of church reform long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his 95 theses.
Luther’s story is well-known; but you will find it equally interesting to read of 40 others! – John Knox, Willem Teellinck, Zacharias Ursinus, Peter Martyr Vermigli, and others – who all contributed to the Reformation. Providing a full picture of the many sides of the Reformation, chapters are also included on the Anabaptist and Counter-Reformation movements.

Elaine Townsend: At Home Around the World (Simona Gorton)
$9.99Elaine Townsend was a bright young thing in 1930s Chicago. Despite struggles and family heartache Elaine was full of energy and enterprise. She once won an award for being ‘The Best Protestant’ and as a result was given an amazing prize which enabled her to go on a round the world trip. This was a unique experience but one that she would continue to do in later life after she had come to faith in Christ.
However, it wouldn’t be trips and luxury travel – rather the hard work and sacrifice of missionary endeavor. When she became a Wycliffe missionary and Cameron Townsend’s wife Elaine discovered how adventurous life can be when you simply say yes to God. It was as though being God’s servant meant that the whole world was her home.
