CHRIST OUR REST: THE DOUBTS AND FEARS OF BELIEVERS PRACTICALLY CONSIDERED David Pitcairn Price: $20.00
Product Description
Although sanctified by the Spirit of Christ, Christians must
continually battle against indwelling sin. It is no surprise that as the
Christian life is chiefly characterized by faith and repentance, the Christian‘s struggles are largely with manifestations of doubt and fear. Unfortunately, these enemies of Christianity have wounded the character and weakened the comfort of many children of God. In Christ Our Rest, David Pitcairn exposes the sad prevalence and the destructive influence of doubts among Christians, and traces them to their various causes.
He writes each of his sixteen chapters as letters addressed to a dear friend, mixing scriptural exposition with tender encouragement and exhortation. He presents the gospel, both in its doctrines and in its privileges, so that the faith of the doubtful may find strength and believers may have their attention continually directed to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Pitcairn masterfully highlights the fullness and freeness of Christ‘s work as the only source of a satisfying rest for the soul.
Author David Pitcairn (d. 1870) served as minister of Evie and Rendall, in the
Orkney Islands, Scotland.

Product Description
When some people smile, they ignite smiles in people around them.
They have contagious smiles. If that‘s what a contagious smile is, what
is contagious Christian living? It is living that is so godly and so consistent that people around them cannot help but be impacted and inspired. In
Contagious Christian Living, Joel R. Beeke looks at four people in the Bible to find out how people today can live an influential life in dependence on the Holy Spirit.

following subjects are addressed: the beginnings of grace, the least
measure of true grace, God‘s notice of grace in His people, labouring in
6 grace, the marks of strong Christians, strong temptations and strong grace, the comforts of grace, and applications.
Author Christopher Love was born in Cardiff, Wales. He attended New Inn Hall,
Oxford, and graduated in 1635. A staunch Presbyterian, Love had difficulty gaining ordination in the Church of England. He was offered ordination in Scotland if he would pastor a church there, but he was desirous of ministering in England. He did receive the ordination in England he so desired. Before he assumed the pastorate of St. Lawrence Jewry in London, Love catechized and taught theology to the children of the sheriff of London, and it was while living in that home that he met his wife, Mary Stone. They had five children, two girls who died early in life, and three boys, the last one was born a week after Love's death. Christopher Love was arrested by Cromwell's forces for his alleged involvement in a plan to raise money for the restoration of the monarchy, a charge Love denied. He was tried and convicted on charges of treason. Though several other prominent London ministers were also arrested, including Thomas Watson, they were all released. Christopher
Love was beheaded on Tower Hill, London, on August 22, 1651

HEAVEN OPENED; THE CORRESPONDENCE OF MARY WINSLOW Octavius Winslow Price: $20.00
Product Description
"I would caution you from my own experience, never to sit down and
reason what you should do in this or that perplexity, but go at once to the Lord with it, distrusting your own heart- which is deceitful above all things-but trusting Him, which you may safely do." ~ Mary Winslow
Author Mary Winslow (b. 1774) married Thomas Winslow and bore him ten children.

HUMILITY: THE FORGOTTEN VIRTUE Wayne A Mack Price: $12.00
Product Description Publisher's Description: Wayne Mack defines pride and humility biblically. He shows us in a multitude of ways that God hates pride (Prov. 6:16-17). He hates the proud with His heart, curses them with
8
His mouth, and punishes them with His hand (Ps. 119:21; Isa. 2:12; 23:29). Pride was God‘s first enemy. It was the first sin in Paradise and is the last we will shed in death. ―Pride is the shirt of the soul, put on first and put off last,‖ wrote George Swinnock. Mack shows us that pride is a unique sin. Most sins turn us away from God, but pride is a direct attack upon God. It lifts our hearts above Him and against Him. Pride seeks to dethrone God and enthrone itself. How sorely this book is needed in a day when scores of people are drowning in their own forms of unbiblical self-esteem.
MOSES‘ SELF DENIAL Jeremiah Burroughs Price: $16.00
Product Description
Reflecting on Hebrews 11:24–25, Jeremiah Burroughs ponders how
Moses relinquished his noble and comfortable rights as the son of
Pharaoh‘s daughter to find greater honour as a suffering son of Abraham.
Burroughs explains how Christians are called to deny all honours, privileges, and delights for the sake of Christ. He also shows how God is especially honoured when we forgo selfish desires at a time when they seem most advantageous to us. You will benefit greatly to see how faith acts to transform losses caused by self-denial into true honour. This is an insightful, practical book—a helpful antidote for our natural selfishness

Northampton, Massachusetts in 1729 and remained there for twenty-three years before moving on to missionary work in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
PILGRIM‘S PROGRESS WITH MASON‘S NOTES John Bunyan Price: $16.50
Product Description Publisher's Description: A rare reprint of the complete Pilgrim's Progress with experimental and practical notes by William Mason well- known for his "Spiritual Treasury for the Children of God." In his explanation of Pilgrim's burden, Mason states that the gospel never leaves a convinced sinner in the miserable situation in which it finds him, without hope and relief: but points him to Jesus for safety and salvation, that
10 he may flee from himself and the wrath he feels in himself, to the fullness of the grace of Christ, signified by the Wicket- Gate. Author John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born the son of a metalworker near Bedford, England. He went on to become a famous preacher and writer and during his life penned over 2 million words, his most famous work being ‗The Pilgrim‘s Progress‘.
PRACTICAL GODLINESS: THE ORNAMENT OF ALL RELIGION Vincent Alsop
Price: $18.00
Product Description
Faith with works is such an ornament and testimony to the legitimacy
and validity of true faith that, according to the Apostle Paul, it
―adorns the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things‖ (Titus 2:10).
Alsop expounds this text encouraging believers to live according to the precepts and promises of the gospel. In addition to providing numerous directions on how to practice godliness each day by living according to the promises of the gospel and the precepts of the law, Alsop buttresses his argument for the advance of personal godliness by stressing the sanctification of the Sabbath and the sanctification of family religion.
SOLOMON‘S TEMPLE SPIRITUALIZED John Bunyan Price: $7.75
Product Description Publisher's Description: Bunyan states to his readers: I have adventured to do my endeavor to shew thee something of the gospel glory of Solomon's temple; that is, of what it, with its utensils, was a type of; and, as such, how instructing it was to our fathers, and also is to us their children: the which, that I might do the more distinctly, I
11 have handled particulars one by one, to the number of threescore and ten; namely, all that of them I could call to mind; because, as I believe, there was not one of them but had it signification, and so something profitable for us to know. Author John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born the son of a metalworker near Bedford, England. He went on to become a famous preacher and writer and during his life penned over 2 million words, his most famous work being ‗The Pilgrim‘s Progress‘.
STRIVING AGAINST SATAN Joel Beeke Price: $9.00
Product Description
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith (1 Peter 5:8-9). If you are a true believer, Satan hates you because you bear the image of Christ and because you were snatched from his power. You deserted Satan and he wants you back. He wants to sift you like wheat. While we should not overestimate Satan‘s power, to our peril we underestimate an enemy who is living, intelligent, resourceful, and cunning.
Every Christian is in a battle, which is fierce, spiritual and necessary. It is a battle between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to know the enemy—his personality, his strategies, his weaknesses, his defeat on Calvary, and his final judgment. In a day when society has, in many ways, placed itself under Satan‘s rule, when Satanism is flourishing in Western nations, when certain branches of the church are preoccupied with ‗deliverance ministries‘, while others deny the devil‘s existence, Dr. Beeke‘s book is a sober, practical perspective on this vital subject. He states, ―We must know our enemy . . . we must know how to withstand him and what spiritual weapons to take up against him. We must defeat him by faith, through lives that bear fruit and spread the truth.‖

THE ALMOST CHRISTIAN DISCOVERED Matthew Mead Price: $13.50
Product Description
While ―cheap grace‖ and ―easy-believism‖ are relatively new terms,
antinomianism is not. Martin Luther coined the phrase to refer to those who wanted all the benefits of salvation without any of the obligations. To those who looked to some external act for confirmation of a regenerate heart, the
Puritans pointed to proper motives as well as proper conduct. To those who looked merely to their orthodox beliefs, the Puritans pointed out that the demons are orthodox in their creeds, but not in their conduct. Ever mindful not to stir up unnecessary doubts in weak believers, the Puritans, nevertheless, felt it imperative to awaken the carnal hypocrite out of his undeserved security.
THE CHRISTIAN‘S LABOUR AND REWARD William Gurnall Price: $16.00
Product Description
Scripture speaks much of the rewards for being a faithful servant of
God. In this work, Gurnall speaks of the great rewards God will give
His people in heaven and the relative few things He asks of us in return.
Author William Gurnall (1616-1679) is best known for his classic work on spiritual warfare titled, The Christian in Complete Armour, published by the Banner of
Truth Trust. He pastored in the little town of Lavenham, in the county of Suffolk.
Gurnall was one of those ministers who decided to conform to the dictates of the
13
Church of England, and was therefore not ejected from his pulpit, as were over
2000 non-conformists. William Gurnall was born in 1616. He was educated at
Emmanual College, Cambridge, famous for its Puritan leanings. He died in 1679.
THE CHRISTOLOGY OF JOHN OWEN Richard Daniels Price: $ 30.00
Product Description
The Puritans are often accused of being weak on Christology. In this
revision of his doctoral dissertation for Westminster Theological
Seminary, Richard Daniels shows how wrong that assessment is. He plumbs the depths of John Owen‘s views on Christ, covering His person, natures, offices, and states. Dr. Daniels also relates how Owen taught that believers can have personal communion with Christ. This is a masterful work that will be deeply appreciated by readers who love both the Puritans and their theology. ~ Joel R. Beeke, Puritan
Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST UNFOLDED IN THE HISTORY OF JOSEPH Octavius Winslow Price: $12.00
Product Description
―Our Jesus, the Elder Brother, centres in Himself infinitely more than
all the tender love and sympathy found in His whole Church. It was necessary that by every possible human sensibility He should be qualified to be the gracious, sympathizing Head of a suffering body; and no truth is brought out in the history of Joseph more luminously, or exquisitely touching and beautiful, as
14 portraying the Lord Jesus Christ than the deep sensibility of Joseph‘s nature.‖--
Octavius Winslow
Author Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) was born in London, England, and raised in
New York. He was ordained as a pastor in 1833 and help pastorates in New York,
Leamington Spa, Bath, and Brighton. A prolific author, his devotional writings exhibit his Reformed, experiential convictions and distinctive, warm, ardent style
THE HAPPINESS OF HEAVEN Maurice Roberts Price: $7.50
Product Description
While belief in heaven is essential to the Christian faith, the fact that
pilgrim believers have not yet experienced heaven leaves us with many
questions about what it will be like. In The Happiness of Heaven,
Maurice Roberts surveys Holy Scripture to tell us what heaven is all about. In his characteristic style, Roberts discusses the biblical data clearly and relevantly, making soul-searching application at every turn. This is not just a book of interesting facts about what heaven is like; it is an appeal to men and women to find their happiness in the eternal comfort of God in Christ.

THE MARVELLOUS RICHES OF SAVOURING CHRIST Ruth Bryan Price: $18.75
Product Description
Ruth Bryan's letters are remarkably like Samuel Rutherford's,
closely resembling them in most winning, unwearied, and gloriously
endless eulogy of the King in His beauty. They are admirably fitted to allure believers into a nearer fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Many who are already standing within holy ground, but only in the Court of the Gentiles, may be drawn by them to desire a place in the inner sanctuary of Israel, of the peculiar people, of the kingdom of priests; for they are calculated in no ordinary manner to humble, to elevate, to refresh and enliven the reader.
There are few Ruth Bryans in these days, the Church greatly needs more; and we are therefore thankful to God that she 'being dead yet speaketh.'
THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS Thomas Shephard Price: $26.00
Product Description
Originally published in 1659, this book calls attention to true
assurance of salvation. Shepard warns against anti-nomianism as he
carefully distinguishes believers from non-believers. Following
Matthew 25:1–13, the first part of this work details the visible church‘s preparation to meet Christ at His return, while the second half explains His coming to meet her.
16
Author Thomas Shepard was a person of great learning, a hard student, and admirable preacher, and an excellent writer. Educated at Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, at the age of fifteen, he became lecturer at Earls Colne in Essex until he was silenced for non-conformity. He fled to Boston where he was pastor of the church at Cambridge and is credited for having stopped the progress of the antinomian heresy from breaking out in the new colony. Shepard was also involved in the founding of Harvard University and was instrumental in having it placed in
Cambridge.
THE SHORTER CATECHISM EXPLAINED FROM SCRIPTURE Thomas Vincent Price: $9.75
Product Description Publisher's Description: In the opinion of B.B. Warfield, the Westminster divines left to posterity not only 'the most thoroughly thought out statement ever penned of the elements of evangelical religion' but also one which breathes 'the finest fragrance of spiritual religion'. Their most influential work, "The Shorter Catechism", was intended as a teaching basis for an introduction to the Christian Faith. No London pastor made more effective use of it than Thomas Vincent (1634-1678) and when his 'explanation' was first published in 1674, John Owen, Thomas Watson along with 38 other signatories to the Preface, declared their belief that it would 'be greatly useful to all Christians in general'.
THE SINFULNESS OF SIN Ralph Venning Price: $9.75

17 and what we need to do about it. Here is reliable medicine for a fatal epidemic.

THOUGHTS ON RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE Archibald Alexander Price: $19.95
Product Description
The nature of spiritual experience is probably both the most
interesting and the most difficult subject in Christian literature:
interesting because it concerns human life in all observable stages from childhood to death, and embraces all the emotions and behaviour possible in a man regenerated by the Holy Spirit: difficult because the adequate treatment of
18 the subject makes immense demands upon the author. To trace sanctification and backsliding, as they appear in human consciousness, presupposes a sound biblical theology as well as a spirituality of mind and a pastoral knowledge broad enough to interpret all the varieties in type which occur. Archibald Alexander brought to this volume the best wisdom of his life. From his own observations, and from case histories drawn from Christian biography, he follows his subject with the hand of a master. He was, in Dr. Theodore Woolsey's words, ' The Shakespeare of the
Christian heart'. Primarily concerned with what ought to be the impression made upon the life by scriptural truths he has nothing of the vague devotionalism of the religious mystics. But within this biblical context a wide variety of experiences passes under review, along with a consideration of the practical problems involved in an understanding of the new-birth, Christian growth, spiritual conflict and kindred subjects.
Author Archibald A. Alexander (1772-1851) was a godly and gifted man whom the
Lord raised up to lay the foundation of Princeton Theological Seminary in 1812.

FEARLESS PILGRIM: LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN BUNYAN Faith Cook Price: $30.00
Product Description Publisher's Description: John Bunyan is well known as the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, the seventeenth-century spiritual classic which has been the second best-selling book in the world after the Bible. He was also a much-loved preacher and pastor whom crowds flocked to hear after his release from prison. One contemporary wrote that he 'could weep for joy most part of his sermons‘. But how did Bunyan become such a preacher and writer? In this book you will discover the path which prepared him to be greatly used as a pastor to his own generation and a guide to Christ's pilgrim people still. ‗In this new and well-written biography Faith Cook relates John Bunyan to the turbulent times through which he lived, surviving two periods of imprisonment in Bedford prison, sustained by his faith, determined, as he himself wrote ‗to live upon God that is invisible‘. Faith Cook avoids the temptation of merely regarding Bunyan as one of the great figures of English literature. That he certainly is, but he is so much more – a physician of souls, much-loved pastor and powerful preacher of the gospel of grace. The authoress skilfully relates her subject to the political history of his times, in which nonconformists won a greater measure of freedom to worship according to their understanding of the Bible during the Cromwellian period, only to be restricted again after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660.Bunyan emerges from this book as a writer of plain yet remarkably imaginative prose, steeped in an amazing knowledge of the English Bible. That knowledge is not just textual: it is deeply experimental, the fruit of much meditation, as The Pilgrim‘s Progress particularly shows.

FOR THE LOVE OF INDIA: THE STORY OF HENRY MARTYN Jim Cromarty Price: $18.75
Product Description Publisher's Description: In the summer of 1805, at the height of the struggle for naval supremacy between Britain and France that was to culminate in the Battle of Trafalgar, a young man, newly ordained to the ministry of the Church of England and already showing symptoms of the tuberculosis which had claimed the life of his mother, set sail on the long and hazardous voyage to India. Leaving behind friends, family and the woman he loved, he turned his back on the prospects of a brilliant academic career in England, in order to bring the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God in their own language to the peoples of India and Persia. His name was Henry Martyn. Struggling against the rigours of a climate which was seriously undermining his health, and facing scorn and hostility from many quarters, within the space of a few short years he completed the translation of the New Testament into Hindustani, Persian and Arabic, opened several schools and brought the message of the gospel, by either the spoken or the written word, to people from all levels of society, from the beggars who came to his gate to the court of the Shah of Persia. Author Jim Cromarty is a retired minister of the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia. He also taught for twenty-seven years in a number of primary schools in Australia, before becoming principal of a large primary school. He is the author of several books published by Evangelical Press, including King of the Cannibals — The story of John G. Paton, A Mighty Fortress is our God — The story of Martin Luther and The Pigtail and Chopsticks Man — The story of J. Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission. Endorsements "A gifted biographer makes all the difference to the presentation of the life of a Christian leader or missionary. Jim Cromarty‘s skill in depicting other missionaries has been well demonstrated in his earlier biographies. Those same skills are displayed in this present volume on one of the pioneer missionaries in the Middle East. The story of Martyn‘s life has its highs and its lows, its joys and its sorrows, but Jim Cromarty is able to balance the varied aspects of his life in a gripping presentation. As a missionary account this is excellent, and I commend it wholeheartedly.'" - Allan M. Harman, former principal of the Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne, Australia and editor of Reformed Theological Review

KILLING FIELDS LIVING FIELDS: FAITH IN CAMBODIA Don Cormack Price: $16.00
Product Description Publisher's Description: The Cambodian Church was first planted among the rice farmers of North-West Cambodia in the mid-1920s. Growth was slow and painful. Then fifty years of nearly fruitless toil culminated in the incredible decade of the 1970s, when joyous spiritual awakening was juxtaposed with indescribable devastation. Communist rule forced the massively depleted Church underground in Cambodia, drove it across into Thailand's crowded refugee camps, and scattered it across six continents. At that time almost all the mature leadership perished under the Khmer Rouge. The Church is free and the time is now ripe for growth and development. In this edition you discover some of the recent developments in Cambodian story but yet it still remains the unfinished portrait of the Cambodian Church. This book will strengthen you in your faith and make you ask "what can I do for God"? This book includes a timeline of History of Cambodia from 300bc right up to 2009. Author Don Cormack spent over 20 years among the Cambodian people and therefore is well able to give the background of Cambodian Life and culture. Endorsements‖

Product Description
We admire these men for their greatness, but the truth is Augustine

Augustine‘s delight in God with Luther‘s emphasis on the Word and Calvin‘s exposition of Scripture. Through their strengths and struggles we can learn how to live better today. When we consider their lives, we behold the glory and majesty of
God and find power to overcome our weaknesses. If ever you are complacent about sin, if ever you lose the joy of Jesus Christ, if ever you are dulled by the world‘s influence, let the lives of these men help you recapture the wonder of God

TAKING ROOT Diana Kleyn Price: $6.00
Product Description
The picture of a plant taking root is used in the Bible to teach us the idea of conversion. When someone’s heart is turned from himself and his sinful ways to faith in Jesus and devotion to God, it is like a plant which starts to shoot out roots into rich soil so that it can live and take nourishment. There is no way for a plant to have life unless it takes root, and there is no way for a person to have spiritual life unless God turns him or her out of the way of death and into the way of life.The stories in this book have to do with plants taking root. But as you read through them, you will not run across tales of flowers, leaves, and dirt as much as you will about spiritual plants in the garden of the Lord. They are stories about how God gives people new spiritual life by rooting their hearts in the grace of His Son Jesus Christ. Read these stories and take the time to ask God about causing your heart to take deep root into the life-giving soil of Jesus.The Lord’s Garden is a series of devotional stories for children. The stories are based on true happenings, gleaned from a variety of sources, and rewritten for contemporary readers.
