Title Girl of Two Worlds

Author Lorna Eglin


Price £3.50

Pages 176

This story is about Nosim, a young girl who is ordered to attend the missionary boarding school. The chief thinks that having a Maasai in the school will make them more important. Thus begins Nosim's double life where she juggles the world of school and Christianity with Maasai life. At first it appears both lifestyles cannot co‐exist. Nosim tries to be Western and Christian at School and Maasai at home. She eventually realises that if you don't follow Jesus throughout your whole life you are not following him at all – it is then that she gives her life to Christ. But does this mean leaving family and culture and identity behind? The perfect ending to this story is how Nosim is encouraged to take the gospel to her own people, by remaining a Maasai woman and a Christian. She is in actual fact a girl of two worlds – definitely a Christian and definitely Maasai. But her life of deception is over as she brings the true word of God to her lost people. Written for children aged 9‐12 years old.

Lorna Eglin is an AIM missionary in South Africa. Her years in Kenya brought her into contact with many Maasai girls just like Nosim. Though Nosim is fictional she is based on real life Maasai girls that Lorna worked alongside during her time in Kenya. These girls went on to be teachers, nurses, and secretaries in modern Kenya. One is the first Maasai lady doctor. Another the wife of Kenya's ambassador to Japan.

Title Pilgrims Progress

Author John Bunyan


Price £9.50

Pages 192

"John Bunyan could be said to have authored one of the most influential books in the English language. But 'The Pilgrim's Progress' is so much more than an historical novel.

Bunyan's plan for his readers is for them to travel through this book as an adventure through the Christian life ‐ retold on paper and in pictures. The story of Christian and his companions has been a favourite for generations. John Bunyan's imaginative text brings out the same, practical, necessary lessons that everyone needs to know ‐ both today and yesterday.

Additional features and study sections have been included to help today's generation of children to understand the book. These will help you to get behind some of the characters and places that Bunyan describes. You will also learn about Bunyan himself through a 'life summary' and get some ideas on how to use this book. A small number of archaic words have been changed to modern equivalents and there is a dictionary and footnotes to provide additional help.

This means that Christian and Faithful talk like the medieval travellers they are, and not like modern day tourists, but you can also get what they are on about!"

Children are fascinated with letters from as young as three and are still singing alphabet based rhymes at the age of seven. The alphabet is a collection of 26 building blocks that we use to build a life‐time of reading. In this instance the alphabet is also used to build strong biblical foundations. The gospel is explained using the following approach: A is for Adam, B is for bad, C is for care, D is for don't, E is for Eve, F is for friends, G is for Gave, H is for Hard etc. Using a mixture of general and biblically specific words the gospel story is explained from the first day that Adam and Eve fell, through the Biblical stories of the flood and Jesus miracles, then onto the crucifixion and resurrection.

Each letter is linked to the next by a question which makes the reader want to turn the page to find out how the story progresses.

Each letter has different activities and questions linked to it. Throughout the book the children are asked to think of different things about themselves and about God. At the end there are summary sheets for the children to fill in and complete ‐ entitled All about me; All about God.

I used to despise him and say, "Well what a fool I have got for a husband!" She was annoyed when he mildly rebuked her swearing. But then her life changed. God brought her to a deep spiritual conviction of her sinfulness, which awakened a cry in her heart for his mercy. Afterward , as a Christian she became deeply sensitive to the distress of others but remained lively, cheerful, frank, warm‐hearted and energetic. She valiantly struggled through adversities, failing health and persistent poverty.

Title Negro Servant & the Black Prince

Author Legh Richmond


Price £2.75

Pages 83

The first story, "The Negro Servant", is authored by Legh Richmond. This pastor's warmth and tenderness toward his people comes through loud and clear as he touchingly conveys this beautiful conversion story which he witnessed in his own town. In times of great prejudice, this story was a warm demonstration that Christ welcomes all peoples to Himself.

The second story, "The Black Prince", shows how life often does not turn out as expected for those who commit their lives to serve the Lord. Positions of power and earthly advantage, even for those in royalty, do not prevent the plans of God from coming to pass according to His own will!

This volume also contains "The Troubles of Life", a short story of how those who rely on the Lord have secret resources to draw on, in times of difficulty, that self‐sufficient men of the world can never possess.

The book concludes with "Patient Joe", a touching poem about a man with confidence that God worked all things together for good even when events crossed his hopes and expectations.

Review by Kathy Davis at homeschoolbuzz.com Hand that Rocks the Cradle is a comprehensive list of over 400 outstanding classic books, some well known, others less, but all excellent choices for entertaining, inspiring and stimulating young hearts and minds. This handy booklet will help you choose exceptional literature for your family read‐alouds as well as your children’s individual reading time. Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Door in the Wall, Old Yeller, and Men of Iron are but a small sample of books the Bluedorn family has read together and recommends to others. Sorted into three reading levels (easy, difficult, and advanced), the reading suggestions are categorized according to author as well as subject. Mr. Bluedorn does point out however that the level of difficulty was never an issue during his homeschool years. His mother had read aloud some of the more difficult classics when he was young, and vice‐versa.

Wonderful things happen when you read aloud to your children. Time seems to stop as you are all transported to far‐away lands, while echoes of past heroes, real and imaginary, bring smiles and tears, excitement and adventure. Just like Mr. Bluedorn, these will be memories your children will hold dear to their hearts when in the not so distant future, you find they are grown and on their own. I consider Hand that Rocks the Cradle a very thorough and well‐ researched resource; it will serve you well for many years to come.

Pages 116

This is a difficult age to be a woman. The woman who aspires to raise children for the glory of God, to develop the ministry of the home, or to co‐labour with her husband is deemed "old‐ fashioned" or "unfulfilled." The modern lure of independence and career has bewitched an entire generation to exchange the beauty of Christian womanhood for the temporary enticements of a society at war with the family. Amidst this confusion, Kathleen Norris's Mother is a refreshing call to sanity. Mother is the fictional tale of a young lady who leaves home and repudiates family life in the hope of finding personal fulfilment through independence and a career. She decides that home life is a poor choice in the face of life in the big city. But God dramatically changes her heart, and she realizes that wealth and position are illusory and that independence can enslave a young lady. She discovers that the greatest woman she has ever known is her mother. Now she longs for home and for motherhood. After reading this book, one woman wrote, "As I turned the last page, tears filled my eyes. I knelt by my bed and asked God to forgive me for my bitterness and my unwillingness to trust and obey Him."

Title Da Vinci Code on Trial

Author Stephen Clark

Publisher Evangelical Press

Price £4.50

Pages 94

In this book the author sifts the evidence for the claims found in Dan Brown's best seller, The Da Vinci Code, that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, that the early church covered up the real message of Jesus and that the Bible's account of Jesus is false. After giving a bird's eye view of the novel and explaining why so many find Dan Brown's 'case' to be convincing, Stephen Clark shows why the truth about Jesus is the most important thing we can ever consider. Having set out the Bible's account of Jesus and its relevance to our lives, he then goes on to demonstrate that The Da Vinci Code contains basic inaccuracies and errors and points out why the evidence can in no way support Dan Brown's 'case'. In a final chapter he considers the evidence for believing that the New Testament is historically trustworthy and reliable and that Jesus did in fact rise from the dead. In doing so he presents a compelling case for believing what the Bible says about Jesus. By the end of the book it becomes clear that what matters is not only what we make of Jesus, but what the real Jesus makes of us. This is an easy‐to‐read book, which does not avoid difficult questions. 'Technical' matters are discussed in a number of appendices. This ensures that while the book reads easily, those who wish to dig deeper will find the answers to their questions.

Title Divine Challenge

Author John Byl


Price £8.00

Pages 336

Revealing the failure of Naturalist and Post‐Modernist philosophies to explain life as we experience it, Christian mathematician John Byl shows that only a Christian worldview, based on the Bible, can supply us with the necessary foundation for logic, mathematics, science and morality, while giving life coherence, meaning, purpose and hope. Since the beginning of time man has challenged God's supremacy, striving to dethrone God and reinterpret the universe according to his own standards and purposes. In response God, who is determined to destroy the wisdom of the worldly wise and to unmask it for the foolishness that it really is, issues his own challenge to sinful man. Arrogantly, modern scientific man takes up that divine challenge, arming himself with scientific knowledge and technological power. Indeed, man has convinced himself that his rational wisdom has made foolish the wisdom of Scripture, with its tall tales of a personal God, of life after death, and of heaven and hell. 'Such notions', Einstein declared, 'are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.' John Byl argues that the Christian worldview provides the only foundation for logic, mathematics, science and morality. The Divine Challenge aims to substantiate this bold claim. Byl shows the failure of today's predominant philosophies to provide a coherent worldview that can yield a plausible account of the various aspects of life as we experience it. Only a Christian worldview, squarely based on the truth of the Bible and the comprehensive sovereignty of God, can give our lives coherence, meaning, purpose and hope.

Title Virtual Church and How to Avoid it

Author Peter C Glover

Publisher Xulon Press

Price £9.50

Pages 300

Revisiting the late Dr Francis Schaeffer's "great evangelical disaster," The Virtual Church finds Schaeffer's prophetic warning concerning the growing crisis of church and evangelical incoherence and declension has more than come into its own, just two decades later. The author finds that evangelicals, like their liberal counterparts, no longer know what they or their churches profess to believe, and that far too many in the church have simply chosen to be pragmatic Christians, ready to adopt all sorts of Christian‐sounding philosophies and traditions. As the incredible opportunities of cyberspace open up, The Virtual Church spells out some of the more visible trends of Schaeffer's "disaster" and points the church forward to a much better way‐a way that is both biblical and ancient.

Title A Book of Comfort

Author P. B. Power


Price £2.25

Pages 104

While illness brings time to think, the natural tendency of our thoughts may not be comforting. Sickness may end activities we once enjoyed; it will make us dependent upon others: and feelings of pain, or of uselessness, or of anxiety about the future, may be very real. To help those who are in sickness the author does not under‐estimate the strength of these hindrances to comfort. Far from offering superficial advice his position is that no comfort is obtainable unless there be, first, true knowledge of ourselves and second, right knowledge of God. His main aim is to state what this knowledge needs to be, and to show how with faith in God's character and presence suffering need not be a dark experience.

Title Autumn Gold

Pages 160

Old age can be endured or enjoyed, regarded as a burden or accepted as a blessing. In this wise and positive book Clifford Pond shows how old age can be enjoyed as it is lived in the light of God's presence and in accord with God's Word. He confronts head on some of the pitfalls of old age such as a negative attitude to life and the tendency to be always living in a past 'golden' age. He shows how these and other faults may be overcome by applying the principles and the promises and Scripture to our lives But throughout his primary emphasis is on enjoying old age to the glory of God.

Clifford Pond skilfully blends spiritual insights into Scripture with much practical counsel on such matters as keeping fit, when to give up one's home, making a will, and remarrying after the death of a wife or husband. And he draws on the wisdom of other senior citizens and the experience of those who have cared for a loved one suffering from a prolonged physical illness or senile dementia.

Title Homeward Bound

Author Edward Hartman


Price £7.50

Pages 240

The concept of dying well has been very real to Ed Hartman since August 1995. Hartman was studying at Westminster Theological Seminary , California and had just discovered a treatise by the Puritan author William Perkins on the ‘Right Manner Of Dying Well’.

This discovery was no accident, as it was a matter of minutes later that Ed discovered that his wife, the mother of their 4 children, was not at all well. Amy Hartman was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which after 6 months of much prayer, and great heartache, proved to be terminal.

With this traumatic experience behind him, Hartman deals with the topic of preparing your life, and the life of those you love, for death in a practical and thoroughly Christ‐centred manner.

Hartman looks at our most important relationships, with God, with our spouses, with our family and with those around us. He shares with us the advice of Perkins and other Puritans who lived in a time that had a much healthier attitude towards, and much closer relationship with, death.

He concludes that the primary aim of those sincerely desiring to die well, must be to have Christ at the centre of everything – and that true devotion to Christ comes only through our relationship with him.

Title Keeping the Heart

Pages 160

"the heart of man is his worst part before it regenerated, and the best afterward: it is the seat of principles, and the foundation of actions. The eye of God is, and the eye of the Christian ought to be, principally fixed upon it. The greatest difficulty in conversion is to win the heart to God; and the greatest difficulty after conversion is to keep the heart with God." so writes John Flavel in his classic work on union and fellowship with God. "In this comprehensive and particularly helpful book, John Flavel looks at what 'keeping the heart' (Proverbs 4:23) means, why we should take this commission seriously and especially at those particular times (adversity, prosperity, etc.,) when we need to be really watchful of being discouraged and distracted from the primary focus of the Christian life. Flavel gives many practical suggestions. His advice is timeless, sensitive and encouraging. This book should be read in conjunction with Flavel's other classic, 'The Mystery of Divine Providence.' Together, these two books are a much‐needed corrective to modern man‐centred thinking. They are especially helpful in providing a Biblical explanation on how to deal with our everyday affairs." ‐ THE BAPTIST STANDARD BEARER, INC.

In dealing with believers suffering form spiritual depression, Bridge manifests great insight into the causes of the saints’ discouragements such as great sins, weak grace, failure in duties, want of assurance, temptation, desertion and affliction. A correct diagnosis is more than half the cure but Bridge does not leave his readers there. He gives directions for applying the remedy. For example in dealing with “great sins” he says, “If you would be truly humbled and not be discouraged; not be discouraged and yet be humbled; then beat and drive up all your sin to your unbelief, and lay the stress and weight of all your sorrow upon that sin.” The general causes of spiritual depression are the same in every age. Down cast Christians of the twentieth century can find help here as surely as did past generations.

Title Mystery of Providence

Author John Flavel


Price £3.50

Pages 224

First published in 1678, this little work well illustrates and explains the purpose of God for his people. Do we believe that everything in the world and in our own lives down to the minutest details is ordered by the providence of God? Do we ever take time to observe and meditate on the workings of providence? If not, are we missing much?

It should be a delight and pleasure to us to discern how God woks all things in the world for His own Glory and His people’s good. But it should be an even greater pleasure to observe the particular designs of providence in our own lives. ‘O what a world of rarities,’ say’s John Flavel, ‘are to be found in providence…with what profound wisdom, infinite tenderness and incessant vigilance it has managed all that concerns us from first to last.’

It was to persuade Christians of the excellency of observing and meditating upon this that Flavel first published his Mystery of Providence in 1678. Since then the work has gone through many editions. Based on the words ‘God that performeth all things for me’ (Ps.57v2) this work shows us how providence works for us in every stage and experience of our lives. The book is richly illustrated from the lives of believers and from the author’s wide reading in church history. There are avenues of spiritual knowledge and experience opened to the Christian in this work, which he probably never knew existed.

Title Portraits of Faith

Author Joel Beeke


Price £4.50

Pages 96

“The writer begins by asking, ‘What is faith?’ He asserts that faith is the activity of the entire heart, the entire life, embracing the weighty matters of personal salvation, and the nitty‐ gritty details of daily living.

In these sermons, Dr Beeke looks at four aspects of faith as they operate in the lives of five biblical characters. Characters who, because they fall outside the hall of faith of Hebrews 11, are often forgotten as examples of faith, and yet characters who have much to teach us as they demonstrate aspects of faith that are sorely needed today by the church of Jesus Christ.

As these characters are examined we are invited to ask ourselves three questions. Do I have this kind of saving faith? Am I exercising the particular aspect of faith that is being described? And most importantly, how can that particular aspect of faith be used in my life to make me a mature believer?”

This series of devotional meditations on the final scenes in the life of Christ on earth has been prized by successive generations of Christians ever since its original publication in 1854. Translated almost immediately into English and frequently republished, the book has been described as the greatest single volume of the entire nineteenth century on the last days of Christï¿½s earthly ministry. Krummacher organizes his meditations around the structure of the Old Testament tabernacle. The first section, The Outer Court, covers the time from Jesusï¿½ announcement of His approaching death to His discourses on the way to Gethsemane. The central section, the longest, is entitled The Holy Place. It deals with Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial, all the judicial proceedings, Christ's scourging, and the journey to Calvary. The final section, The Most Holy Place, covers the crucifixion itself, Christ's sayings from the cross, His agony and death, and His burial.

At the time very few people took much notice of his actions, but within a few weeks people throughout Europe were discussing the contents of those theses and a chain of events had been set in motion which would have profound effects for the whole of Western Europe, and beyond, for centuries to come.

Eusebius Ecclesiastical History is one of the classics of early Christianity and of equal stature with the works of Flavius Josephus. Eusebius chronicles the events of the first three centuries of the Christian church in such a way as to record a vast number of vital facts about early Christianity that can be learned from no other ancient source. When Eusebius wrote his Ecclesiastical History, his vital concern was to record facts before they disappeared, and before eye‐witnesses were killed and libraries were burned and destroyed in persecutions by Rome. He faithfully transcribed the most important existing documents of his day so that future generations would have a collection of factual data to interpret. Thus Eusebius (c. A.D. 260‐340) richly deserves the title father of Church history.

Title Letters on Revival

Author Ebenezer Porter


Price £4.50

Pages 144

Revival swept through the churches of New England and other parts of the United States between 1798 and 1808. These letters of Ebenezer Porter, an eyewitness of the revivals, display two characteristics not always found together: warm zeal to see the church revived, and wise moderation in resisting tendencies to fanaticism. Porter outlines the characteristics of the revivals he had witnessed, the means used for the conversion of sinners, hindrances to revivals, the exercises of those hopefully converted, and the longer‐term effects of the revivals on the churches. He also deals helpfully with new theories that were appearing on the subject of divine influence in the conversion of sinners. The result is a permanently valuable guide to the nature and effects of revivals of religion. Ebenezer Porter served as a Congregational minister in New England and became the first President of Andover Theological Seminary in Massachusetts in 1827.

North Wales in the early part of the nineteenth century provides a striking instance of the way in which a spiritual revolution can change the whole direction of a people and a society. Equally striking was the agency which brought the prevailing religious indifference and lawlessness to an end: it was the preaching of the gospel by men without position or influence like John Elias (1774‐1841). Under the preaching of Elias, the outlook of thousands was permanently changed. Here, in days of revival, forty‐four chapels were built in forty years. Previously published by the Trust in this form in 1973, the Life and Letters of John Elias is now reckoned among Christian classics.

Every churchgoer knows about Martin Luther, the rumbustuous leader of the Reformation, but few realise the influence that his wife had on his ministry.

Early in his personal reformation Luther became convinced that there was no reason why parish priests should not marry, if they preferred it, but he did not feel inclined to break his clerical oath himself.

That was until he met Catherine von Bora. Catherine was the leader of a daring breakout

from a convent reserved for nuns of noble birth. At first Luther was a little afraid of her but they married two years later on the 13th June 1525.

She help prolong Luther's life by protecting him from the reckless overwork to which he subjected himself. She made the garden of the unfinished Augustinian convent that was their home, profitable ‐ keeping pigs, cows and chickens. She took over three other gardens and planted fruit trees and started small scale farming.

She made the home a haven of rest for the storm tossed man that was her husband. Luther once said, 'Next to God's Word, the world has no more precious treasure than holy matrimony. God's best gift is a pious, cheerful, God‐fearing, wife, with whom you may live peacefully, to whom you may entrust your goods, your body, and life.'

Shadows of Scotland attempts to draw a Scottish race out of the shadows. A people who lived in seventeenth century Scotland and who covenanted with God for the good of all. The Scottish Covenanters are lost to most folk today due to ignorance on the one hand and indifference on the other. This video covers the story of fifty years in the seventeenth century with a short prelude to help understand the reasons why they acted as they did. Their conflict was basically spiritual but, due to prevailing and constant persecution, they were drawn into deeper conflicts and complexities. They fought long and hard for the crown rights and prerogatives of Christ over His Church with devastating results upon themselves. They suffered fierce opposition with rigours which left them bereft of property and possessions. Hundreds died during these years as the State Records show. They were counted as outlaws, rebels and fanatics in order to procure our freedom. It is with gratitude to the memory of these noble sufferers that this video was produced.

Title That Man of Granite

Author Eric Russell

Publisher Christian Focus

Price £9.00

Pages 248

John Charles Ryle was born into a comfortable English family background ‐ his father was a politician and businessman. Ryle was intelligent, a great sportsman (captain of cricket at Eton and Oxford) and was set for a career in his father’s business, and then politics – a typical, well to do, 19th century family.

Then – disaster. The family awoke to find that their father’s bank had failed, taking all the other businesses with it. Ryle had lost his job and his place in society. He resigned his commission in the local yeomanry and went to comfort his parents, brother and sisters. One moment a popular man with good prospects, the next the son of a bankrupt with no trade or profession.

Almost as a last resort, he was ordained into the ministry of the church. Who could have thought that such an uninspiring entry into the ministry could have such an impact on the spiritual life of a nation.

Ryle’s reputation as a pastor and leader grew until he was appointed the first Bishop of Liverpool, a post he held for 20 years. He was an author who is still in print today (he put aside royalties to pay his father’s debts) and a man once described by his successor as ‘that man of granite with the heart of a child.’ He changed the face of the English church.

Title Under the Scaffold

Author Faith Cook


Price £7.50

Pages 156

Imagine you are growing up in an eighteenth‐century village high up in the Yorkshire Moors. Times are very hard, and you have to work long hours to help your family to have even the basic essentials. Disease and death are all around you — even the death of young children.

This is the life of Tom Whittaker. Early events left deep scars and many unanswered questions. Is there really a heaven? Does God hear prayer? How can I ever forgive?

Although Tom is a fictional character, his life of hardship was typical of the days in which he lived, and has been drawn from many true‐life incidents. Most importantly, he comes into contact with William Grimshaw, the unconventional and fiery curate of Haworth. Grimshaw’s desire to teach God’s truth brought him into many a conflict, with even a riot against him and his friend John Wesley. Yet his love and care for his flock, and, above all, the message of hope and salvation he brought, changed the lives of thousands of men, women and children.

But what about Tom? Read the book and follow the adventures and challenges he faced, his ever‐growing respect for William Grimshaw… and what happened to him ‘under the scaffold’.

Title Mary Bunyan ‐ Blind Daughter of John Bunyan

Author Sallie Rochester Ford


Price £9.00

The deeply moving story of the home life of the Bunyan family, as John, the pastor, languished in prison as a result of his preaching as a Baptist pastor in England during the 17th century. The account is historical fiction, told largely from the vantage point of his blind daughter, Mary, his first‐born child and constant joy.

Mary became Bunyan's loyal, constant companion on every occasion when the authorities would permit her to visit her father at the prison, and his persistent petitioner for mercy and release before King Charles. This stirring account of how a young girl's faith in God grew, rather than diminished, during times of persecution, is an inspiring example of peculiar beauty for all believers today.
