David Brainerd: A Love for the Lost by Brian H Cosby


Life on the American frontier in the early 1700s was very difficult - continually threatened by disease, attack, and brutally cold winters. The English and Native Americans lived side by side, which often led to conflict. David Brainerd arose as a compassionate and fearless missionary to the various Indian tribes in America. Riding on his horse across rivers, over mountains, and through towns, Brainerd carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost, the hurting, and the broken. Notable pastors and missionaries like John Wesley, William Carey, Adoniram Judson and Jim Elliot were all influenced by the life, passion, and dedication of David Brainerd. In this book, Brian Cosby takes the reader on a journey from Brainerd's teenage years on the farm to his expulsion from Yale; from preaching on the frontier to his death in his late 20s. The reader will be encouraged, inspired, and challenged by the perseverance and single-minded devotion of the early American missionary to the Indians, David Brainerd.

Fanny Crosby: The Blind Girl's Song by Lucille Travis



If you've ever picked up a hymn book, the chances are that you've sung a song written by a blind girl - and not just any blind girl... Fanny Crosby. As a young child she knew nothing of the sighted world around her but that didn't stop her interacting with nature, experiencing the thrill of God's creation. She held her grandmother's hand but she thought that was because Grandmother needed her help not the other way around. 

Fanny had a remarkable feel for poetry, and using her gift for memory, was able to compose poems and hymns quickly without forgetting them. Fanny Crosby is credited with writing at least 9,000 hymns in the course of her long life. Prior to her decision to use her remarkable gift for the glory of the Lord, Fanny also wrote many, many poems and secular songs. However, once she decided to follow Christ with her life, Fanny Crosby not only dedicated herself to writing popular hymns, she also spent her life speaking to society's downtrodden.

The encouraging story of a woman blind from infancy, her use of the Lord's gifting, and her refusal to allow a disability to rule her life.

Robert Murray McCheyne: Life is an Adventure by Irene Howat


Robert Murray McCheyne travelled far and wide throughout his short life. He even went as far as Israel and started a mission in Hungary. But you don't have to go far away to be a missionary and make a difference... and that was one of the earliest lessons that Robert learned in his Christian life.
As he stood and stared at the looming tenements of Edinburgh he saw what would become a large part of his life's work throughout his own country of Scotland. "For years I've looked at these tall buildings,' he told a friend, 'but it never occurred to me to go into them and visit the people there who don't know that Jesus has died to save them. There are children huddled together in there to keep warm. The poor things are nearly naked," his voice caught in his throat with the emotion.
And that was what Robert Murray McCheyne was - an emotional, passionate preacher for Christ - a young man who longed to bring others to the Saviour who had loved him and died for him.

Mary Slessor: Forward into Calabar by Janet & Geoff Benge

 
 
Mary Slessor pondered David Livingstone's words, "I don't care where we go as long as we go forward." "I'm not going anywhere, Mary mused. I'm twenty-seven years old. I work in a cotton mill twelve hours a day. God, Mary prayed, send me somewhere, anywhere, just send me to be a missionary."
 
God would indeed answer the prayer of the fiery, red-haired woman from Scotland. For thirty-nine years, Mary Slessor would labor in love among the unreached, often treacherous, tribes of Africa's Calabar region. Braving sickness, danger, and death on all sides, Mary became the cherished "White Ma" to entire tribes. Her faith, steadfastness, and pioneering spirit brought her beloved adopted people their first brilliant, contrasting example of the life and freedom found in Jesus Christ.
 
Mary Slessor's story in an ageless epic of a woman who would stop at nothing to reach the lost with the life-giving gospel of Christ. (1848-1915).

Rowland Bingham: Into Africa's Interior by Janet & Geoff Benge

 
The thought of a land with not one Christian and not one missionary haunted Rowland. Images of cannibals and slaves pushed away sleep, and the stranger's words "are you prepared to go it God calls you?" echoed over and over as he turned in his bed. Was he, Rowland Bingham, willing to go to the Sudan, where white men nearly always died?"
 
At age twenty Rowland Bingham committed himself to serving not only in Africa, known as the white man's grave, but in Africa's Sudan interior, where few missionaries had ventured and those who did soon died of disease or retreated in defeat.
 
Experienced missionaries told Rowland that his dream was impossible. But when he found himself the sole surviving member of the fledgling Sudan Interior Mission, he didn't give up - neither did God. In an amazing story of vision and faith, God used this willing servant to open a way for the gospel's light to shine on millions of people once thought beyond reach. (1872-1942)

Wilfred Grenfell: Fisher of Men by Janet & Geoff Benge

 The icy Arctic cold stabbed at Wilfred's fingers and toes. A howling wind was pushing the ice pan he was stranded on out to sea - and with it hope of rescue. His clothes, soaked when his dogsled fell through the ice, were now frozen. Lying near his sled dog for warmth, Wilfred fought off sleep, knowing he might never wake up.
Adventurous Wilfred Grenfell was no stranger to danger. As a new Christian, this English doctor ministered to fishermen on the deadly North Sea. And when he heard about the appalling poverty and injustice across the ocean in Newfoundland, he went to work among the desperately poor fishing communities of the wild, remote Labrador coast.
There Dr. Grenfell pioneered life-saving hospitals, schools, orphanages, and fishermen's co-ops as he shared the hope of the gospel with people whose lives had offered only despair. For good reason, everyone from heads of state to destitute children revered Sir Wilfred Grenfell for his kindness and courage. (1865-1940)

Samuel Rutherford: The Law, the Prince and the Scribe by Catherine Mackenzie



When Samuel Rutherford picked up his pen he changed lives, maybe even across continents. What he wrote influenced the American constitution but where his real power and passion was felt was in the letters that his warm pastor’s heart wrote to the people of his parish.

His book Lex Rex was burned on a pyre but his notes of comfort and wisdom were cherished by those he cared to guide and counsel.

Accused of treason he died of illness before there was time to make him a martyr and on his gravestone today, just west of the Bell Tower in St. Andrews Cathedral are engraved the striking words that sum up his life, ‘Acquainted with Emmanuel’s Love’.

Titanic: The Ships of Dreams by Robert Plant

 
The ship that could never sink, the ship of dreams, became a ship of nightmares as it sank beneath the freezing Atlantic Ocean. Colliding with a massive iceberg, it was as much the arrogance of the ship’s owners and operators that caused the tragedy of the Titanic on 14th April 1912. 1,517 people perished that night but there was at least one man who was focused on saving souls amidst the horror. As the icy waters brought the life of John Harper to a close he still had the energy to call one final person to come to Christ. This is a story of tragedy but it is also a story of faith and courage and eternal hope.

John Bunyan: The Journey of a Pilgrim by Brian H Cosby



John Bunyan's life was an exciting one. That's what he had wanted as a young man. He had left the security of his father's workshop to join the Parliamentary troops fighting against King Charles. There was no way he was going to settle for a boring life... but over time the thirst for excitement was replaced with a longing for something more. A friend takes him aside in the heat of battle and asks him if he has a faith - a real faith - a personal one. And for the first time John Bunyan hears about the only way to get to heaven, which is through the Lord Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross. John knows he isn't good enough to get to heaven. But when he realizes that Jesus Christ is the only one who is good enough, the real excitement begins. Bunyan the Pilgrim's journey takes him through the Civil War and into other conflicts. A prison cell awaits him but so do opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ. John Bunyan, the tinker soldier, became one of the world's favourite Christian writers - with his books being read by men as diverse as Charles Spurgeon and Vincent van Gogh.

John Williams: Messenger of Peace by Janet & Geoff Benge



"Hold on!" the Polynesian rower yelled, but the giant wave crashed over the rowboat, flinging John into the surging water. John gasped for air as the undercurrent pulled him down. Frantically he thrashed his arms and kicked his legs, but it was no use. I can't drown! There are too many islands to go to! I have to reach them all!

The thousands of islands scattered across the Pacific Ocean were home to fierce warriors and cannibals who sacrificed their children to the many gods they worshiped. A few islands had been dramatically transformed by the gospel, but thousands more were waiting for someone to come and teach them about the one true God.
John Williams dedicated his life to bringing the message of Christ's love and peace to these brutal islands. In the face of constant danger, he discipled and inspired Polynesians to go as missionaries to their neighbors, ultimately giving his life to see the gospel spread across the vast Pacific. (1796-1839)

Eric Liddell: Something Greater Than Gold by Janet & Geoff Benge







As the race began, it had seemed obvious that Eric Liddell was overmatched. Now the crowd in the Olympic Stadium hushed as this runner from Scotland refused to be passed. As Eric crossed the finish line, the crowd erupted in applause heard all over Paris. Eric Liddell had done the impossible A new world record had been set!
Eric's refusal earlier that week to run on Sunday in the Olympic 100-meter race had stunned the world. Now his incredible victory in the 400-meter race further strengthened his belief in God's promise, "He who honors Me, I will honor."
Years later, Eric Liddell would be tested far beyond mere physical ability as a missionary to China. His character, perseverance, and endurance are a challenging example for all who would obey the call to bring the gospel to the nations. (1902-1945)

Isobel Kuhn: On the Roof of the World by Janet & Geoff Benge



A fellow missionary had said, “When you get to China, all the scum of your nature will rise to the top.” It surely had, mused Belle. The food, the fleas, the filth, the exhausting mountain paths, and so many other transitions to missionary life had tested her. But Belle had stayed at her post, and she was so glad that she had.

As a fourteen-year-old intent on living a “modern” life, the last thing Isobel Kuhn wanted to grow up to be was a missionary. But as it turned out, this young agnostic’s life was redirected—from crisis and doubt to hope and strength.

Convinced that God wanted her to preach the gospel as a China Inland missionary, Isobel bravely served among the Lisu people in remote mountainous regions of China and Thailand. After twenty years of ministry Isobel returned to the United States, writing stirring stories of faith and inspiring generations of readers. (1901–1957)

Mary of Orange: At the Mercy of Kings by Linda Finlayson


If you saw a girl in tears on her wedding day and then heard that the same girl was the reluctant second in line to the throne you might think she wasn't strong enough to rule... but you'd be wrong. Mary was a young girl born to privilege, from the Royal line, heir to the throne of England, Scotland and Ireland - and destined to reign herself and change her country. She was brought up to believe in the God of the Bible rather than the fabricated teachings of priests. It was this personal faith that would be her strength as she left her homeland to marry and eventually to rule. After a storm of tears and a rough sea crossing Mary's marriage to her first cousin became a love match. Both husband and wife trusted God and as the wind of history blew their circumstances and their future was changed dramatically. William and Mary of Orange influenced the religious and political environment of Great Britain and subsequently other democracies in ways that can still be seen today. Their Glorious Revolution resulted in one of the most important constitutional documents in English history - the Bill of Rights - where the powers of the sovereign were limited and the rights of Parliament and the rules for freedom of speech were set out; Liberties that have existed for centuries but still have to be defended.

George Whitefield: The Voice that Woke the World by Lucille Travis



George Whitefield's voice was the envy of many a professional actor. He could hold a crowd's attention like no other. But although he had wanted to be an actor as a young boy George's voice was used for greater things. After coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal saviour George went on to preach to many people in the United Kingdom, America and the world. He was the first to preach to the slaves of the United States. And it is estimated that he spoke more than 18,000 sermons during his life.

James Chalmers: The Rainmaker's Friend by Irene Howat


James didn't think much about the rain and where it came from as he struggled through the storms on his way to church. He didn't even care that much about going to church, he did all he could to avoid going. But one little letter changed all that.

You see, James heard of the people of the South Pacific - people who had never heard of Christ - and in a heartbeat his life changed. He found a new-born love for God and a new attachment to a people who had never heard the truth about their Creator and Saviour.

The South Pacific was a dangerous place to be with violent tropical storms and cannibal tribes on the march - but James knew where God wanted him to be and why. In the warm tropical rain that, for him had replaced the icy highland winds, James Chalmers was able to share the news of the rainmaker - the one true God who had come to save his people - even cannibals. But James knew that in the middle of such hostile tribes he may only be a heartbeat away from death. He knew the dangers, he knew the cost - but he was still willing.

This is the true story of a young Scot who took the good news of the gospel to cannibals and in the end had his life taken from him by the very people he had come to serve.

Divine Service by Betty Henderson



Service. To some the very word is wearying. But true service for Christ, with the right attitude, can be wonderfully refreshing and rewarding.

Christ offered us the perfect example of inspired service. Though He was God incarnate, He humbled Himself to serve countless individuals and families within the borders of Israel and beyond. In this Bible study, you'll explore Mark's unique perspective on the service of Jesus Christ.

This women's Bible study explores Mark's unique perspective on the service of Jesus Christ. Mark's account is fast-paced, and his enthusiasm for his Lord shines through every chapter. Betty Henderson captures that same energy as she unfolds each passage, including character background, historical details, and personal application. Throughout the Bible study, Henderson also includes stories of God's "shadow servants," people throughout Christian history who served faithfully behind the scenes.

Nothing Else Matters by Patricia St John



A powerful and moving story based on real events in the Lebanese civil war in the 1980’s. Lamia and her family are caught up in the fighting, with tragic consequences. Lamia struggles with the hatred that threatens to destroy her, until she grasps that forgiveness and love are the most important things. Nothing else matters.

This story is set in Lebanon in the mid 1970's during the civil war. After the State of Israel was established, refugee camps were set up by the United Nations as the conflict with the Palestinians spilled over the border into Lebanon. The Palestinian Liberation Organisation grew out of these camps and this resulted in the establishment of military training centres.
There was a brief civil war in 1958, and then in 1975, war broke out again between the Maronite Christians (a strong 'right wing' political party) and the Muslim militia and Palestinians, or 'left wing.'
Nothing Else Matters is the story of a Lebanese Maronite family; Elias, Rosa and their children: 16 year old twins Amin and Lamia; eleven-year old Sami and eight year old Huda. Rosa has a simple and sincere faith but the rest of the family are only nominal Christians. As the life they know disintegrates around them, and hatred rises up in its place, Lamia's struggles with the horrors of the war bring her to a place where she begins to grasp that forgiveness and love are the most important things. Nothing else matters, ultimately.

The Answers Book for Kids Volume 4 by Ken Ham & Cindy Malott

At the heart of the Bible is the theme of sin, salvation through Christ, and guidance for living the kind of life that honors our Creator God. Since Adam and Eve chose to disobey in the Garden of Eden, questions about sin, salvation, and the Christian life have often puzzled us.
This book gives answers intended to form a strong and lasting faith foundation in the next generation. More importantly, it will set the example of seeking answers—even for the toughest questions—in God’s Word, our final authority.

Volume 4’s questions

  1. Why did God create people when He knew they would sin?
  2. Could God not forgive our sins without the suffering of Christ?
  3. Will God and Jesus keep me safe from Satan’s fallen angels?
  4. When a solider is in Iraq and he kills someone, is he breaking God’s commandments?
  5. When we go to heaven, we have to be perfect up there or wherever. Doesn’t that mean our personalities will be changed and everyone will be the same?
  6. Why does God let the bad guys win sometimes?
  7. Why isn’t Satan the first sin instead of Adam and Eve?
  8. If God is perfect and there was no sin, then where did the sin come from that entered into Lucifer’s heart when he became vain?
  9. Why do animals die? We are the ones who sinned, so why are they punished? They didn’t do any thing wrong.
  10. If I am God’s child, then why doesn’t He keep me from being sick or hurt here on earth?
  11. If God can control anything, why did He let the tsunami hit and so many people get hurt? Did He create the tsunami?
  12. Why did Cain kill Abel?
  13. What happens to the people who died before Jesus came? Are they in Heaven or Hell?
  14. Did Adam and Eve go to heaven?
  15. What is heaven like? Are there really mansions? Will I stay 10 forever?

The Answers Book for Kids Volume 3 by Ken Ham & Cindy Malott



Even adults struggle to understand our Creator—the infinite Being who seeks a personal relationship with each of us. Now kids can begin to understand both God’s Holy Word and the importance of Him in their lives—what He expects from them, why it is vital to follow His plan for their lives, and the love He has for them.
This book will give you the opportunity to leave a legacy to the children in your life. A legacy of trust in God and His Word.

Volume 3’s questions

  1. I don't know if I believe in God because, I mean, who made God anyway?
  2. What does God look like?
  3. Where is God? Why can't I see him?
  4. How big is God?
  5. How does God get his power? Where does He get it from?
  6. Does God laugh?
  7. How does God know something before it happens?
  8. How could God be Jesus and Jesus be God? How can they be the same, but different?
  9. Is the Holy Spirit even with God?
  10. Why can't I hear God talking to me?
  11. How do we know that God really answers prayers? Couldn't it be just a coincidence?
  12. Why did God create sin?
  13. In the Bible God is a God of second chances. God gives us a second chance when we sin. So, why didn't God give Adam and Eve a second chance in the Garden of Eden even though they sinned?
  14. Why did God allow the Israelites to kill people?
  15. Why did God create us?
  16. How did the authors of the Bible know what all God did? During the creation, since there was no one to see what He did, how do we know what really happened?
  17. Where did the Bible come from?
  18. How did God communicate with Moses?
  19. Just why is the Bible true? I believe but I just don’t understand why it’s true.
  20. Why is it that whenever I mention anything about the Bible in school I get into trouble?
  21. Why don't we see miracles like they used to in the Bible?
  22. Why do people believe different things?

The Answers Book for Kids Volume 2 by Ken Ham & Cindy Malott

Dinosaurs are fascinating creatures that kids simply adore, and even the youngest believer can recite the biblical account of Noah and his Ark. Now discover how to answer some of kids’ most interesting questions about dinosaurs and Noah’s Ark!
Answers are important. If children aren’t given answers to their questions about the Bible and the history it reveals, they cannot defend their faith against a fallen world.
Choosing the 22 hardest questions kids have about dinosaurs and the Flood of Noah, Ken Ham and the creative team at Answers In Genesis give understandable answers.

Volume 2’s questions:

  1. Were people different before the Flood than they are today?
  2. Did Noah take dinosaurs on the Ark?
  3. How did all the dinosaurs fit on the Ark?
  4. How did Noah get two of every sea animal on the Ark?
  5. Did Noah have to estimate how much food to gather or did God tell him?
  6. How did Noah keep the animals on the Ark from eating each other and his family?
  7. Why did God make meat-eating animals? Why are they not still plant-eaters?
  8. Why did God allow some creatures to go extinct?
  9. What happened to the Ark once Noah, his family, and the animals got off?
  10. After the Flood, were there any buildings left?
  11. Did we use dinosaurs for transportation?
  12. Did Noah have to search for all the animals or did they come by themselves? How did they know they had to come to the Ark?
  13. Where did all the water go after the Flood?
  14. Why aren't there fossils of humans from Noah's Flood?
  15. Are dinosaurs still alive today? Has anybody ever taken a picture of a dinosaur?
  16. Did a meteor really kill all the dinosaurs? Where did all the dinosaurs go?
  17. Were there people alive when the dinosaurs roamed the earth?
  18. Are dinosaurs related to birds?
  19. How could Noah's children fill the earth?
  20. The books we get from the library state that caves and cave formations took thousands of years to form. We wondered how long they really took and if/how they were related to the worldwide Flood. Also, we watched a video of the Carlsbad Caverns in which they talked about those caves having been part of a coral reef. Is this true and how did a coral reef end up in New Mexico?
  21. Why doesn't the Bible tell us about the Ice Age?
  22. Since we all came from Adam and Eve, shouldn't we all have the same color of skin?

Ida Scudder: Healing Bodies, Touching Hearts by Janet & Geoff Benge


Ida stamped her foot. Her friends were wrong. "I will not be a missionary to India like my parents!" she retorted. "Don't any of you say I will be, because I won't - never, ever, ever." Ida had never forgotten the faces of starving Indian children. She hated India - it was full of horrible situations she could do nothing about.

 
Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her medical missionary father. But when she witnessed Indian women dying because their religious beliefs didn't allow male doctors to treat them, Ida heard herself pray, "God, if You want me to, I will spend the rest of my life in India trying to help these women."
 
Serving for nearly sixty years, Dr. Ida Scudder lived out the truth and compassion found in Christ. She pioneered a first-rate medical school and hospital, brought life-saving health care to rural people, and left an inspiring legacy that still touches millions of people each year with healing and hope. (1870-1960)

The Christian Heroes: Then & Now series chronicles the true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary deeds for His kingdom and glory. Written specifically to challenge readers with the powerful lives of missionaries who have profoundly shaped history, these books answer today's call for positive role models and for opportunities to see how God works through the lives of those who follow Him. The exciting life stories of these heroes will inspire the readers as they witness the drama of faith and character being tested under the most extreme circumstances. Readers of all ages love these fast-paced adventures that take them to the heart of a nation, an era, and what it means to live a life dedicated to serving God and those He loves.

Richard Wurmbrand: Love Your Enemies by Janet & Geoff Benge



As he tried to think calmly about faith, Richard realized that he didn’t want anything to do with Christianity, even if it did turn out to be true. He could only imagine life as a Christian Jew, and what he imagined was awful. No one in his or her right mind would choose such a path. At least, Richard was sure that he would not choose it.

Richard Wurmbrand, founder of Voice of the Martyrs, was once a young atheist determined to experience everything the world had to offer. Yet he regretted that God did not exist, wishing that a heart of love beat somewhere in the universe.

When the Romanian found that heart of love in Jesus Christ, he had the courage to serve Christ unswervingly even as his homeland sided with the Nazis and then sank into the new horrors of post-war Communism. Stubbornly respecting the worst enemies as fellow human beings and repaying hatred with love, the beloved pastor would spend years as a prisoner of the state, tortured and beaten, for preaching the gospel of peace (1909–2001).

Written specifically to challenge readers with the powerful lives of missionaries who have profoundly shaped history, these books answer today's call for positive role models and for opportunities to see how God works through the lives of those who follow Him.

The Choice Service of Women



Click here to see inside

Poem of encouragement for women.

As Mary sat at Jesus' feet
And listened to His Word,
So would we in these latter days,
Hear and obey our Lord.
There would we hear His blessed voice
And gaze upon His face,
Would learn in meekness at His feet
What is the woman's place.
Not to usurp authority
Or take the place of men,
Yet she can serve in other ways,
As did the women then.
With ready mind to do His will,
Like those of long ago,
With willing heart to serve Him well,
True loyalty to show.
Like Hannah, Miriam, Deborah,
She may His praises speak;
She may lead other women on:
She may support the weak;
She may train children for the Lord;
Uphold the fainting heart,
Inspiring with a steadfast faith
The men to do their part.
Like Sarah, and like others, too,
Her husband to obey,
With willing hands prepare a feast
When strangers come that way,
And thus, like Sarah, entertain
An angel unaware;
"Ye did it unto Me," He'll say,
Whose eyes are everywhere.
Like her who did at Shunem dwell,
God's servants to receive;
Like Abigail in David's day
The hungry to relieve;
And so we might pursue the tale
Of women long ago,
Who served the Lord in simple faith
While yet they dwelt below.
Who wait upon the Lord their God
Shall mount on eagle wings,
And elder women, taught of Him,
Are teachers of good things:
To teach young women to be wise,
Discreet, and good, and kind,
To serve the Lord with gladsome heart,
And with a quiet mind.
The elder may the younger teach
The young, those younger still;
Thus shall they help each other on
To do His blessed will,
To follow Him, the lowly One,
And walk in His blest ways,
And thus in all they have to do
To live unto His praise.
The care of immaturity,
Of childhood and of youth,
To lead the young and wayward feet
Along the paths of truth,
To train them in right ways to go
From e'en their earliest days,
So they shall still, when older grown,
Be found in wisdom's ways.
To care for all her household well,
And bring up worthy sons,
To help the poor with kindly deeds,
Relieve afflicted ones;
To comfort those in sore distress,
And succor bring to all
Who need her help, as Phoebe helped
The great apostle Paul.
Like Persis, Lydia, Tabitha,
To labor for the Lord,
Spend time and substance for the poor
And earn a rich reward;
To practice hospitality,
And oft resort to prayer,
To follow on with steadfast mind
In all good works to share.
Such is the woman's worthy place
Of service to her Lord;
So shall she do His blessed will
According to His Word.
Who would not gladly serve Him thus?
Who would not count it good
To hear the Master say at last,
"She hath done what she could"?
