Piper’s biographies are exceptional work, in that they provide a fascinating, appreciative, and realistic view of the lives of the men covered, while exploring their theology. They are also written on a level that anyone from 16 years of age and older can understand. Every believer is encouraged by the lives of these 27 Servants to learn that the struggles we face in the Christian life are more similar than we think, to those of believers since the very outset of the church. The battles they fought against error resemble in many ways the battles we engage. But God preserves His people by grace, just the same.

$39.99We recently obtained all remaining copies of this volume!
“George Muller has for years been a pacesetter for me in prayer. His autobiography is a veritable orchard of faith-building fruit. I have found Muller’s way absolutely crucial in my own life: to be with the Lord before I am with anyone else and let Him speak to me first.”
— John PiperThis volume is the only complete edition of Mueller’s autobiography in print today, covering some of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the Christian church, as a man with a burden for spreading the gospel through orphanage work received one and a half million pounds (British) of support without ever issuing an appeal, and whose work took care of over 10,000 children.

Radiant: Fifty Remarkable Women in Church History (Richard Hannula)
$16.29Radiant records the triumph of the gospel as Christian women faced kings and governors, soldiers and wild beasts, Japanese guards and Muslim raiders, fire, exile, the chopping block, Nazis, cannibals, riots and more.
“Look to heaven and forsake the world” has been their cry for 2,000 years. But being “spiritually minded” didn’t make these women soft or weak — it made them invincible!
From South America to Europe, from China to Africa to the Wild West, in prisons and in throne rooms, the Christian heroines of Radiant have left a stunning legacy. These short and moving biographies for young people introduce the reader to 50 often unfamiliar champions of the faith.
