Almost Christian Discovered, the - Matthew Mead Hardcover | 166 pages | Soli Deo Gloria List Price: $18.00 Sale Price: $14.50 Finally back in print! A new edition One of the most famous of all Puritan writings and of unspeakable value for times like ours, in which the message of "easy-believism" is so prominent. Puritan pastor Matthew Mead explains how a person can be deceived into thinking he is a Christian when, in fact, he is merely an "almost Christian." A book which also comfortingly explains how a genuine Christian can be assured of his faith as he rests in the finished work of Christ, while at the same time designed to alert someone who's "fooling himself" out of his misplaced security.

Building Godly Character with Older Books - Audio CD - Dennis Gundersen CD | Grace & Truth Books List Price: $7.50 Sale Price: $4.50 When our family began the homeschool journey back in the early 1980's, we heard many seasoned, experienced parents telling us: "The older books, from the 19th and 18th century and even before, are so much better and richer in content! Find as many as you can and use them in your homeschooling!" As we began to ask ourselves why this is, it became increasingly clear that many of the books Christians wrote in those eras for the education of their children were based on more biblical thinking, and perhaps even more importantly, a biblical view of children. This message explains what we have learned in almost three decades since then about why books from those eras are so often better, richer in content, and make a more lasting impact when it comes to character-building. Not only will your family be enriched by a deeper acquaintance with literature from past centuries, but this message by Dennis Gundersen also explains how parents can make wiser selections from among the literature of today for children. single Audio CD, 50 minutes Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

Packer and Carolyn Nystrom say that it's both; an essential, expected practice as a follower of Christ, but also a privilege and joy. As we start out learning to pray properly, however, the delight often seems to be missing. What makes this book exceptional is, it's the counsel of two Christians, admitting how they try to pray and wish they prayed better, sharing only their thoughts about how they go about it, for the sake of brethren struggling like themselves. With wisdom, humility and sincerity, the authors lead as through the different modes of praying. Click on "details" (below) for more. Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

The Child's Book on the Soul - Thomas Gallaudet Paperback | 158 pages | Solid Ground Christian Books List Price: $15.99 Sale Price: $10.00 From a father of seven children, Gallaudet (1787-1851) was a famous Christian educator in England and Connecticut. This is considered the most remarkable book written by this extraordinary man. The publisher read this to his four year old grandson, who captivated by it, learned much about his immortal soul. The book is in the form of a story, most of it being conversation between a mother and her son about matters of the soul. Henry Barnar said of this book: "It exhibits Mr. Gallaudet's remarkable tact in bringing the most abstract subject within the grasp of the feeblest and youngest mind." "These volumes exerted in their day an influence it would be difficult to estimate. Hundreds of thousands of copies were circulated - they were translated into many languages, besides being reprinted and largely sold in England. They were read as English reading books in the schools of the Foreign Missionary Societies, and through these channels made themselves felt in unexpected places, even to the palace of the King of Siam." - The Life of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, pp. 230-231.
