A Spectacle Unto God: The Life and Death of Christopher Love by Don Kistler
$23.99 | Hardcover | 193 pages | Soli Deo Gloria
OUR PRICE: $15.00
One of our most inspiring and stirring biographies. Christopher Love was a brilliant young Welsh preacher, widely respected among his fellow Puritan ministers, despite his youth. But in 1651, a nervous English government became needlessly suspicious of Love, charged him with treason, and a series of events followed in which he was able to stunningly demonstrate the hope that a man of God fixes on Christ, despite turmoil and opposition. Author Don Kistler wonderfully reconstructs Love's story, not from his own imagination, but relying on original documents, including the minister's own letters to and from his pregnant wife as his day of execution approached. All at once, heart-touching and heart-wrenching, showing both the sweet peace and hope Christ supplies and the excruciating circumstances in which they found themselves. A story of victorious faith which enduring generations should read. Many pages of beautiful ink drawings of several Puritan ministers.

The section on spiritual depression is immensely helpful and the bibliography in the back is worth the price of the book alone.

$14.95 | Paperback | 192 pages | Soli Deo Gloria

As an evangelistic pastor, Edwards had a passion to see sinners converted. The heartbeat of this book is, the earnest voice of Edwards calling to sinners as to what steps they might take to pursue God's gracious offer of eternal salvation in Christ. Fiercely denouncing slothfulness in relating to God and urging the utmost hot pursuit of knowing Him, Edwards urges sinners to cry out for new birth and to understand how faith operates. Gerstner has summarized and systematized Edwards' thought marvelously well in this volume.

Letters of Samuel Rutherford by Samuel Rutherford
$39.00 | Hardcover | 744 pages | Banner of Truth
OUR PRICE: $34.50
Charles Spurgeon said: "What a wealth of spiritual ravishment we have here! Rutherford is beyond all praise of men. Like a strong-winged eagle he soars into the highest heaven and with unblenched eye he looks into the mystery of love divine. There is, to us, something mysterious, awe- creating and superhuman about Rutherford’s letters. This edition is a noble volume, and we shall measure the soundness of Scotch religion very much by the sale of this work. When we are dead and gone, let the world know that Spurgeon held Rutherford’s Letters to be the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men."
Richard Cecil said of Rutherford, "He is one of my Classics; he is a real original." Richard Baxter said of Rutherford's letters that, other than the Bible, such a book the world never saw as this collection of letters. Finally once again in a hardcover edition.

Meet the Puritans by Joel R. Beeke, Randall J. Pederson
$35.00 | Hardcover | 900 pages | Reformation Heritage Books
OUR PRICE: $29.00
Not since the 19th-century work of Benjamin Brook on the Puritans has there been such a resource book about them put into print. "Beeke and Pederson have produced a tremendous gift to and resource for all who want an entryway into the study of the Puritans. They not only provide accurate biographical and theological introduction to every Puritan whose works have been reprinted in the last 50 years, but also combine with their helpful summaries an insightful analysis. If this were not enough, they've added major appendices that include the "Scottish Puritans" - those great Scottish theologians who were contemporaries of and like-minded brethren in doctrine and piety with the English Puritans, as well as the Dutch Reformed divines. This is a must-have. I know of nothing like it. If you are looking for a reliable window into the life, theology, piety and ministry of the Puritans, this is it." -- Dr. Ligon Duncan

Spirit of Revival, the by R.C. Sproul, Archie Parrish
$17.99 | Hardcover | 223 pages | Crossway Books
OUR PRICE: $15.00
Many times one may hear, "Is this a work of God or merely of men?" Sproul and Parrish discuss the views of Jonathan Edwards regarding how one may know if a revival is from God or is a concoction of men's manipulations. It's a careful work on the evidences of a true work of the Spirit in a movement. Edwards was a student of human emotional expression, seeing that both Divine and human factors can contribute. As John cautioned us, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1)

Who are the Puritans and What Did They Teach? by Erroll Hulse
$17.99 | Paperback | 224 pages | Evangelical Press
OUR PRICE: $14.00
The author shows that the Puritans were men of deep theological understanding and vision who prayed and taught fervently to the end that the earth might be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Their careful Biblical teaching did more to equip believers for a stable, holy walk than any ministers in history, and they were strongest where the churches are weakest today.
