An Ark for All God’s Noahs (Thomas Brooks) (#58)
$8.95$10.00
We live in difficult days and in trying times. This book, with its quaint yet vivid title, points us to the One in whom Christian men and women have always found the strength to persevere come what may. Taking Lamentations 3:24 as his starting-point – ‘The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him,’ – Thomas Brooks expounds the attributes of God with the aim of comforting those who have felt not only the stresses and strains of daily life but also the shearing pain of loss in its various forms.
God, says Brooks, ‘is a portion that is exactly suited to the condition of the soul in its desires, needs, wants, longings and prayers. All the soul needs is found in God. There is light to enlighten the soul, wisdom to counsel the soul, power to support the soul, goodness to supply the soul, mercy to pardon the soul, beauty to delight the soul, glory to ravish the soul, and fullness to fill the soul.’

In a Gloomy Stormy Day

Thomas Brooks also subtitled this work:
The Best Wine Reserved till Last, or The Transcendent Excellency of a Believer’s Portion Above all Earthly Portions
“The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him.” — Lamentations 3:24
‘All true comfort and happiness is only to be found in having an all-sufficient God for your portion.’
About the Author
Born in 1608, Thomas Brooks entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1625. He spent several years at sea, perhaps as chaplain, and was licensed as a preacher by 1640. After England’s Civil War, Brooks served as pastor of London’s Thomas Apostle. In 1648, he preached before the House of Commons.
He later became the subject of controversy when he refused baptism and the Lord’s Supper to people that would not walk faithfully with the Lord. His other writings include Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices, Heaven on Earth, and The Secret Key to Heaven.

All Things For Good (Thomas Watson) (#17)
$8.75First published in 1663 by the title A Divine Cordial, Watson simply but profoundly explains how God does in fact make all things – good and bad things – work together for the good of His people. By far the most useful explanation of Romans 8:28 ever written.
Watson said that two of the greatest obstacles he faced as a pastor were:
1) To make unbelievers sad, so they recognize their need of God’s grace, and:
2) To make believers joyful, in their experience of God’s grace!He wrote this book to make an effort to undo the second difficulty: by explaining Paul’s teaching in Romans 8:28. As for his own experience, Watson wrote this the year after he and 2,000 other ministers were expelled from the Church of England, and thus exposed to much hardship and suffering. This is the rich exposition of a faithful man who lived in circumstances when only faith in the Word of God could bring him such a confidence.

The Afflicted Man’s Companion: A Directory for Persons and Families Afflicted with Sickness or any Other Distress (John Willison)
$16.00Written with the kind intention (according to the author) “that the afflicted may have a book in their houses, and at their bed-sides, as a monitor to preach to them in private, when they are restrained from hearing sermons in public.” Originally published in 1737, it has been revised and reprinted numerous times in the 19th century by the American Tract Society.
As much as Job’s companions were miserable comforters, this volume is one that would have been of great comfort and consolation to that deeply afflicted man so long ago. We live in a world of sin and misery, and any book that can help those visited by affliction is worth its weight in gold.
