MORE THAN A NOTION
Written by : J H Alexander
Published by Zoar Publications 1993
ISBN: 0904435660
Paperback

This book is about the experiences of a remarkable group of people [around the small village of Pulverbach, Shropshire during the first half of the 19th century]. They did not belong to a sect or denomination or even a congregation, but the author discovered as she was led from one memoir to another and from diaries and letters that there was a divine interweaving of the lives of persons as diverse in occupation as an art tutor, clergyman, a tea merchant, a farm labourer’s wife, a French court musician, a shoemaker and others. Of course, their experiences were varied, but a mutual love in the unity of the Spirit bound them together under the teaching of Christ in their hearts. “There are some books of which it can be said that to read them is an experience, and one is never the same again. The extracts out of the lives of these various people who came in varied ways to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ are, at one and the same time, convicting and encouraging.” (Dr. M. Lloyd-Jones)

They fought their way back, however, in a series of incredible engagements under Henri Arnaud during 1689-90.

YOU’LL GO DOWN TO LONDON – The Autobiography of Lionel Ball
Written by: Lionel Ball
Published by Christian Focus Publications Ltd 2008
ISBN: 9781845503147
Paperback

Lionel Ball served as a London City Missionary most of his working life. A whole generation of London City Missionaries are grateful to God for the encouragement given to them by him. Even today, some years after his retirement, missionaries regularly meet people who ask, ?Do you remember Lionel Ball?’ Through his chaplaincy with the police, he was so highly regarded that he was appointed a Freeman of the City of London. This meant that he could drive sheep across London Bridge without paying. There is no record of him ever taking advantage of the privilege. Instead Lionel was to undertake a different sort of shepherding! The key place he worked was at the Covent Garden Mission but Lionel was also involved in
mission activity in the London theatres. Blessed with a fine voice, and himself a gifted pianist, he related well to performers and won their confidence and love. There are
many who can trace their early Christian influence back to Lionel Ball.

Published by the Banner of Truth trust 1960
Paperback

Bonar’s Life of M’Cheyne is uh more than history and biography in the usual sense; it is the portrayal of one so absorbed in the love of his Redeemer that the authority of his preaching and the beauty of his life were but a reflection of Him who spoke as no man ever spoke and lived as no man ever lived.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN – God’s Leader for a Nation
Written by: David Collins
Published by Mott Media 1983
ISBN: 0915134934
Paperback

The life of Abraham Lincoln is well recorded for history – through his own journals and the detailed research of countless historians. But sadly enough, the spiritual side of
Abraham Lincoln has been seldom reported. Because he held no formal church membership, he has even been labelled “anti-Christian.” There is, however, little doubt
that Abraham Lincoln was a most devoted Christian. His entire life reflects a deep personal faith in God. This book will attempt to explore the spiritual side of Abraham
Lincoln, relying on his own words and the observations of his family, friends, and historians. Abraham Lincoln endured much suffering in his lifetime, but he was a true
sower of faith and freedom.

Though Billy Bray died a century ago he became and has remained a folk hero in Cornwall. He was a simple, self-educated tin-miner, an eccentric if charismatic lay-preacher.

AUGUSTUS MONTAGUE TOPLADY – A Debtor to Mercy Alone
Written by: George M Ella
Published by Go Publications 2000

ISBN: 0952707454
Hardback

Toplady is among the most neglected and forgotten of the great men of the Evangelical Revival. Most of those who know anything of him today are aware that he wrote Rock of Ages and possibly that he was in contention with John Wesley – Wesley being the ‘good guy’ and Toplady ‘the baddie’. They might also be under the impression that he was an extreme ‘hyper-calvinist’ and therefore not worthy of further consideration. Even Bishop Ryle under-valued him. Dr Ella sets the record right, with ample proof from the publications and letters of the period. The result being that Toplady shines as one of the great lights of our English evangelical history, not only in the example of his life, but also in the wealth of his writings.

REES HOWELLS – Intercessor
Written by: Norman Grubb
Published by C L C Publications 2002
ISBN: 0875081886
Paperback

Rees Howells was a man of little worldly fame, yet through Norman Grubb’s best-selling biography, his life story is known to millions. Born in a Welsh mining village, he left school at twelve and worked in a tin mill and a coal mine. As he came to know the redeeming power of his Lord and Saviour he faced the implications of an entire surrender, learned to love the unlovely and found the key to the power of prayer. As a result he became a man of great Christian inspiration to others in both Britain and Southern Africa where he became the channel of a mighty revival. Norman Grubb describes all this, but also the foundation of the Bible College of Wales at Swansea, perhaps the greatest monument of his work, and the intercessory prayer that became the hallmark of Rees Howells, impacting as it did on national policy and international affairs. Rees Howells’ life was so great that the Church of Christ still feels the impact of his truths of the Spirit and the Scriptures in a unique and amazing way. Every chapter in this biography is full of drama and light. Rees Howells: Intercessor is an enthralling story, told with simplicity, humanity and humour, and it has proved an inspiration for nearly half a century.

hand what – and often who – was behind that breaking news item: his own barrister told David he was lucky to get only 11 years. Hamilton shows how fraught with
danger quitting a terrorist group can be. Yet, even in that dark place, God was waiting for David, whose story details his journey into new life. Turning his life around,
Hamilton is now an ordained minister who pastors a growing independent congregation outside Manchester. Since prison, he has also been involved with prison

“TO HONOUR GOD” – The Spirituality of Oliver Cromwell
Written by: Michael A G Haykin
Published by Joshua Press Inc 1999
ISBN: 1894400038
Paperback

This selection of texts relating to Cromwell’s spirituality has no intention of being hagiographical. That would be both false to the facts and a betrayal of the intent expressed in Cromwell’s confessional remarks, namely his desire to live a life of Christian integrity. On the other hand, it does seek to recommend certain aspects of Cromwell’s spirituality as a model for believers today, for the author is convinced that his spiritual vision, and that of the Puritans in general, still possesses ongoing value for the contemporary church.

This is the biography of one of Scotland’s most famous reformers whose life story reads like an adventure thriller involving assassinations, revolution and undercover trips across Europe.

“It was very quiet in my cell after the warder had escorted me back from the ‘dungeons’- the punishment cells. I threw myself on the hard bed, a black bitterness of soul filling me. Tomorrow, I vowed, I would get hold of the sharpest knife in the mailbag room – and there would be murder done. Weary and tormented I pulled the coarse blanket round my shoulders and closed my eyes.’ Fred Lemon, a confirmed criminal on the eve of attempting to break out of Dartmoor, unexpectedly broke out spiritually, and found this freedom far greater than that of the open moor.

Mary Slessor was born in Scotland in 1848. Her father was an alcoholic who wasted his pay on drink so she started working in a weaving factory at 11 years of age to help support her family.

Her father died and she continued working that schedule to support her family until she entered her missionary training when she was 27 years old. She was active in the church from an early age and didn’t let her long work hours keep her from participating. Her heart for missions was utilized in Scotland by reaching out to children in the poor section of town and teaching them Bible lessons through the years. Her childhood was hard but it helped prepare her for the many difficulties she faced in Africa. Finally, on August 5, 1876, she left Liverpool on the steamer Ethiopia and she arrived at Calabar on the coast of Nigeria on September 11th, 1876 to begin her 39 year career as a missionary to the natives there.

IN THE STEPS OF THE MASTER
Written by: H V Morton
Published by Rich & Cowan Ltd 1935 (Fifth Edition)
Hardback

Nowhere do the ancient world and the modern collide so abruptly as in the long-disputed territories of the Holy Land. H. V. Morton’s account of the journey he undertook there in the early 1930s dramatically evokes the beauty of Israel’s countryside at Galilee and the Dead Sea, the grand austerity of its desert plains and the all-consuming passions, turbulent daily life and deep-rooted mysteries of Jerusalem. Alive with discovery, anecdote and humour, ‘In the Steps of the Master’ is a superbly evocative guide for any traveller in the Middle East today – the times have changed, but, the essential nature of the sites he visited has not altered. Yet Morton’s writing transcends travelogue in its portrayal of the realities of faith in a place where belief is made so concrete, and in its vivid, resonant tale of a very personal pilgrimage.

RING OF TRUTH – A Translator’s Testimony
Written by: J B Phillips
Published by Hodder & Stoughton 1967
Paperback

“I have felt compelled to write this book. It is my testimony to the historicity and reliability of the New Testament. “Few people have had such a close and constant contact with the New Testament as I have had. Even fewer have taken the trouble to understand the business of ‘communication.’ I say this in no spirit of conceit; it is a matter of simple fact. I therefore felt that it was high time that someone, who has spent the best years of his life in studying both the New Testament and good modern communicative English, spoke out. I do not care a rap what the ‘avant-garde’ scholars say; I do very much care what God says and does.”

FIVE PIONEER MISSIONARIES -David Brainerd; William C. Burns; John Eliot; Henry
Martyn; John G. Paton
Written by: John Thornbury; R. Strang Miller; Neville B. Cryer; Richard T. France & John D. Legg
Published by The Banner of Truth Trust 1987 & 1999
ISBN 0851511171
Paperback (2 copies)

There are few more thrilling periods of church history than the great missionary movement which stretched from the eighteenth into the nineteenth century. Recognizing that Jesus Christ was the missionary sent by the Father, and that the Bible is the Magna Carta of missions, men like Henry Martyn, John G. Paton, John Eliot, David Brainerd and William Chalmers Burns left home, family and love for the sake of Christ and to spread his good news. The narratives of their monumental labours and sufferings and their strong longings to see Christ glorified in the salvation of the nations make awe-inspiring and God-honouring reading. Five Pioneer Missionaries tells the story of each of these servants of God. In doing so it not only outlines some of the great biblical principles of missions, but also challenges Christians today to live lives completely dedicated to serving Jesus Christ wherever he calls us to go.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT – Bill Bright
Written by: Kim Twitchell
Published by Christian Focus publications 2004
ISBN: 1857929454
Paperback

There were seven kids in the Bright family so every morning fourteen tackety boots would march off down the lane to the one roomed schoolhouse and then later in the afternoon the same scruffy boots would meander back again. At the back of the group a young lad would dawdle curious, quiet and a little shy … his name was Bill. Few would have thought that this scruffy little rancher’s son would grow up to be a smart, confident, well spoken young gentleman. Nobody would have thought that he would grow up to head up one of the biggest missions that America, or the world had ever known. Campus Crusade was just the beginning though. Soon there were missions to students, the military, athletes and Hollywood actors – and then Bill was involved in making a film himself – a film about the one he loved above all else – Jesus.

TRAVEL WITH WILLIAM COWPER – The Evangelical Poet
Written by: Paul Williams
Published by Day One 2007

Booklet

Gifted as a student, pastor, teacher, poet, hymn-writer, and artist, Robert Murray McCheyne died at the age of twenty-nine but the record of his life and ministry has had a remarkable impact upon the Christian church worldwide. What is most outstanding, and probably the principal reason why his influence continues, is what can only be described as his personal holiness. Those he stayed with paid tribute to the influence of peace and calm that remained even when he had left; his very presence in the pulpit had a deep effect upon many in the congregation. McCheyne was one of Scotland’s most godly ministers of all time.
