Over 100 million heard Billy Sunday preach and one million are said to have “hit the sawdust trail”–the term used to describe those coming forward to enquire further in the huge wooden tabernacle Billy had erected for his citywide campaigns. This book tells the story of the man and his works; and in most of it the man will speak his own message. For the explanation of the power it can only be said, “There was a man sent from God, whose name was – Billy Sunday.”

Modern day youth have been misled throughout their educational careers with the false notion that science must be based entirely on naturalism and that the Bible is not relevant. The truth is that most of the great founding fathers of modern science were Bible-believing men and practicing Christians. Eleven of these great men are profiled in this book.
In these short biographies, we have presented a distilled version of each man’s scientific accomplishments as well as the evidence of his Christian faith. These testimonies demonstrate that true scientists can also be genuine Christians, and that faith in God and in the authority of the Bible is not a sign of inferior intellect.

This is the story of J. Hudson Taylor’s life

This book chronicles the life of John Bunyan, the famous author of Pilgrim’s Progress, The Holy War and several other titles. These timeless works are still popular today due to the spiritual fervor and compelling style in which they were written. This book gives a closer look into the life of this great dreamer.

The Extraordinary Story of Joy Davidman, Her Life and Marriage to C.S. Lewis

Hendrickson Classic Biographies presents a one-volume abridgement of Wesley’s multi-volume journals. The Heart of John Wesley’s Journal presents a remarkable life, recorded and examined in real time by Wesley himself.

James Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) was a Christian missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission (renamed Overseas Missionary Fellowship). He served there for 51 years, bringing over 800 missionaries to the country and personally baptizing an estimated 50,000 converts.

The story of 5 great missionary servants of God: The stories of David Brainerd, William C. Burns, John Eliot, Henry Martyn and John G. Paton.

The Life of John Brown is the story of an orphaned shepherd boy who rose to become the revered minister of Haddington in south-east Scotland and the theological professor of his denomination. Though his life’s labours were inextricably linked with one town, the influence of John Brown of Haddington spread worldwide through his writings, especially his Self-Interpreting Bible. This book contains his own account of his life. To this, his youngest son, Dr. William Brown, has added family recollections, letters and some of his father’s choicest short writings.

As he drew near the end of his life, John Brown exclaimed, ‘Oh! What must Christ be in Himself, when He sweetens heaven, sweetens Scriptures, sweetens ordinances, sweetens earth, and sweetens even trials! Oh! What must Christ be in Himself!’ Modern readers will taste some of the same Christ-derived sweetness as they meditate on The Life of John Brown with Select Writings.

This is the moving story of God’s redeeming and restoring grace to one who wrote the following epitaph for himself: John Newton, Clerk, Once and infidel and libertine, A servant of slaves in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy. Formerly published as But Now I See, this biography contains much valuable first-hand material from Newton himself. Indeed, considerable use is made of his Diary and Letters. His pre-conversion days, his call to the Christian ministry, and his time at Olney and St. Mary Woolnoth are all covered. This is no arid record of the past. Besides being a worthy memorial to the life and work of John Newton, this biography will also encourage those who love the gospel to consecrate themselves to the Master’s service as Newton did.

The Diary and Life of Andrew Bonar gives a panoramic view of one of the most fascinating periods of Scotland’s church history.  But foremost it is the record of God’s work in the life of a man who represented all that was finest in the evangelical life of that country.

Andrew Bonar’s biography of M’Cheyne conveys the fragrance of his life that no later writer could ever recapture.  Being dead, M’Cheyne yet speaks and it may be doubted whether any Christian can seriously read these pages without having an example of the power of godliness stamped upon their conscience in a manner that will remain with them for all their days.

This book traces the main lines of Spurgeon’s spiritual thought in connection with the three great controversies in his ministry.

Preface and Reflections By Jonathan Edwards. This book changed the life of Henry Martyn; in his own words: David Brainerd. Oh! Blessed be the memory of that beloved saint! No uninspired writer ever did me so much good.

It was the increasing conviction that martyrs, though dead, can still speak to the church, which led Bishop J.C. Ryle to pen these pungent biographies of Five English Reformers last century.

In his book, A Scottish Christian Heritage, Iain Murray describes how for 300 years the school of evangelical Christianity changed Scotland as a nation. Passing on the evangel of the Reformation, and growing stronger in persecution, it turned a people to the Bible, and finally gave many of its best sons and daughters to the ends of the earth. For fidelity, joyful perseverance in hardship, and improbably advance, the record remains a witness to the faith that overcomes the world.

The compelling interest of this account lies in the way it draws on contemporary records-many of these Christian leaders being authors as well as men of action. Murray’s narrative explores this rich heritage and underlines its remarkable relevance for our own day. While not a Scottish church history, this is a gripping introduction to the many glorious successes, and some of the painful failures of the church, from the days of John Knox to those of Horatius Bonar. Explaining this panoramic tapestry are the words of Knox’s own commentary, ‘God gave his Holy Spirit to simple men in great abundance’.

For those who want a work of quiet scholarship, Philip is not their man. But where there is a desire for the evangelical flame-for words that burn, and reach heart and soul- this volume will clearly show why the gospel can turn the world upside down.

This volume, first published in 1853, contains a selection of his correspondence, edited by his son-in-law and biographer, William Hanna.

The life of Elijah has gripped the thought and imagination of preachers and writers in all ages. His sudden appearance out of complete obscurity, his dramatic interventions in the national history of Israel, his miracles, his departure from the earth in a chariot of fire all serve to that end. Judgement and mercy were mingled throughout Elijah’s astonishing career.

George Muller’s life may be described as a primer on the miracle of answered prayer. When Muller felt called by God to care for orphans, he had only a few cents in his pocket. Without ever asking anyone other than God, he received over $7,200,000 dollars (in 1800’s money) through prayer alone.

Apart from a short period of missionary service in India, Milne spent his whole ministry in Perth as a pastor and evangelist. Bonar’s account of one who lived close to Christ remains a guide to what the churches need in every age.
