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 Promise Kept by Robertson McQuilkin $12.99 | Hardcover | 96 pages | Tyndale House Publishers OUR PRICE: $11.00 Few books so easily read have ever left such a stunning impression: this is the true story of a Christian college President who leaves his career to care for his wife Muriel, who is deteriorating by degrees from Alzheimer's. An impacting book for our modern era, in which love is often contemplated only for the pleasure it brings one's self and without thought of the sacrifices made. As the disease takes its toll on his wife, Robertson devotes more and more time to serve her every need, first cutting back on work, and eventually choosing to leave it entirely to care for her, as she gradually becomes entirely dependent upon him for the simplest of human tasks. Perhaps what impresses us most is how he considers it his joyful privilege to serve his wife through this lasting trial. A display of exemplary, Christ-like love at its finest.

A Rebel Made a Child by Mary Louise Cooper $6.95 | Paperback | 82 pages | Old Paths Gospel Press OUR PRICE: $5.50 Long out of print, the spiritual autobiography of Mary Louise Cooper, known as "Louie" much of her adult life. A woman in whom the Lord began a work of grace at about 12 years of age, she suffered long from guilt, learning that salvation must be all of grace, and not a bit of works. She suffered in long and painful affliction 34 years and eventually came to a true peace with God. Note: We have no idea why the publisher put "children's heritage series" on the cover of this book. It is clearly a biography for women 16 years of age and up. Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

Famous Women of the Reformed Church by James I. Good $22.00 | Paperback | 295 pages | Solid Ground Christian Books OUR PRICE: $17.50 The chapters of this book first appeared in the Reformed Church Magazine (1893-1895). They then received favorable comment. Since that Magazine ceased publication, there have been so many inquiries for them that it is evident they met a felt want in the Church, and the Sunday-school Board of the Reformed Church in the United States has undertaken their publication in this volume. The author has added several chapters to those that appeared in the Magazine. It is hoped that the lives of these Reformed saints will stimulate the ladies of our Church to greater interest in our splendid Church history, and to greater activity as in missions and the practical work of the Church, in which they already excel." - from the Author's Preface Some of the ladies considered are: ~ Anna Reinhard, Zwingli's Wife ~ Idelette D'Bures, Calvin's Wife ~ Anna Bullinger, Henry's Wife ~ Queen Margaret of Navarre ~ Queen Jeanne D'Albret of Navarre And more.

Glenda's Story: Led by Grace by Glenda Revell $9.00 | Paperback | 122 pages | Grace & Truth Books OUR PRICE: $7.50 Now back in Print! Unwanted from birth and abused throughout her childhood, Glenda was desperate for love and a sense of belonging. Her only respite from a miserable home life was school, and the welcoming shade of her favorite willow tree, under which she would dream of another life, another family, and pray to a God she did not yet know. Ultimately, Glenda's afflictions became the cords with which God drew her to Himself! Receiving His salvation, she understood that God had saved her from her own sinfulness, more than horrid conditions and treatment by others. This is a story of great hope, an amazing account of how our merciful Savior brings light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow, and peace out of pain. Highly recommended by Elizabeth Elliot.
