James Chalmers: The Rainmaker’s Friend (Irene Howart)
$7.95$8.99
James didn’t think much about the rain and where it came from as he struggled through the storms on his way to church. He didn’t even care that much about going to church, he did all he could to avoid going. But one little letter changed all that.
You see, James heard of the people of the South Pacific – people who had never heard of Christ – and in a heartbeat his life changed. He found a new-born love for God and a new attachment to a people who had never heard the truth about their Creator and Saviour.
The South Pacific was a dangerous place to be with violent tropical storms and cannibal tribes on the march – but James knew where God wanted him to be and why. In the warm tropical rain that, for him had replaced the icy highland winds, James Chalmers was able to share the news of the rainmaker – the one true God who had come to save his people – even cannibals. But James knew that in the middle of such hostile tribes he may only be a heartbeat away from death. He knew the dangers, he knew the cost – but he was still willing.
This is the true story of a young Scot who took the good news of the gospel to cannibals and in the end had his life taken from him by the very people he had come to serve.

John Harper, Titanic: The Ship of Dreams (Robert Plant)
The ship that could never sink, the ship of dreams, became a ship of nightmares as it sank beneath the freezing Atlantic Ocean. Colliding with a massive iceberg, it was as much the arrogance of the ship’s owners and operators that caused the tragedy of the Titanic on 14th April 1912. 1,517 people perished that night but there was at least one man who was focused on saving souls amidst the horror. As the icy waters brought the life of John Harper to a close he still had the energy to call one final person to come to Christ. This is a story of tragedy but it is also a story of faith and courage and eternal hope.
