My Heart in His Hands: Ann Judson of Burma by Susan James $15.99 | Paperback | 228 pages | Evangelical Press OUR PRICE: $13.50 Without a doubt, the best-selling book on missionary life that we have ever had, and one of the finest biographies we've ever had the privilege of offering. Ann Hasseltine received a proposal of marriage from Adoniram Judson, who was shortly to leave for Asia as one of America's first overseas missionaries. Thus commenced one of the great dramas of church history--a saga of love, courage, suffering and perseverance. In this biography, Ann speaks for herself, as Sharon James skillfully weaves together extracts from her Memoir and other first-hand accounts, in ways that make her story alive for today. A powerful testimony to the love, grace and faithfulness of God. Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

A Vision for Missions by Tom Wells $7.00 | Paperback | 165 pages | Banner of Truth OUR PRICE: $6.00 Tom Wells writes with the conviction that Christians interested in missions must return to our first principles: that human need and terrible world conditions are not really our chief Biblical motive. The motive is, the glory of God! HE - our God - is worthy to be known, and it is a disgrace that so many, among the nations, do not know or serve Him. The missionary vision must begin with a desire for Christ to be known. It's a challenging, relevant book to every believer -- whether you plan to work on the missions field or to be a faithful witness where you now live. And a book that contains much valuable biographical information about David Brainerd and William Carey as well - men who lived by these principles. Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

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 a few 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.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs - Updated to the 21st Century by John Foxe, with new material added by Harold Chadwick $13.99 | Paperback | 442 pages | Bridge-Logos OUR PRICE: $11.50 In 1563, John Foxe began a memorial volume of the martyrs of church history, beginning with Stephen of Acts 7.

More Christians were murdered in the 1900's than all past centuries combined.
