America in Crimson Red contains a wealth of information about our Baptist heritage.

America is the greatest nation on earth. Its formation, prosperity, liberty, spirituality, and military might didn’t come to be by mere accident. What made this nation great was the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No other group, religious or non-religious, had a greater impact on making America the greatest than the Baptists. Without the influence of the Baptists, America would not be the America we know and love today.

Author: Andrew Telford

The Baptists today are easily the largest Christian group in the southern portion of the United States. . . . The triumph of free-church principles in the Revolutionary era, the homogeneity of southern people, and the rise of the common man and the economically depressed in the South are among the factors which have contributed to Baptist growth in the region.

The Baptists of colonial America were men of iron, purified in the forge of adversity…

The author presents a real-world perspective of fundamentalist institutions and individuals who are considering merging into the evangelical mainstream or have already done so.

The book is a wealth of church history of the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly as it relates to the fundamental, independent Baptist movement.

The reader will also find insightful chapters on Christian music as well as why institutions shift from a fundamentalist to an evangelical position.

The list of persecutors of the Baptists reads like a Who’ Who in world history. The study of Baptist history makes one vital truth clear: There will often be a terrible price to pay to stand for the truth. There are no promises that it will be easy to be faithful. The reason that we are seeing Baptists becoming interdenominational today is that they have lost touch with their heritage. This book deals not only with Baptist heritage and history, but also with Baptist distinctives and doctrine.

Originally published in 1854 this volume contains the stories of many lesser known martyrs and how these blessed believers withstood the trials of afflictions.  What kind of church does it take to produce good martyrs?  A Martyr is a witness-a witness for God, for Truth and Righteousness-a witness tried both by action and by suffering, and found faithful through every trial.

J. Newton Brown

Hardcover

This book will show you through Bible proof that Christ started His church during His earthly ministry. It will also help you to see that there has always been a group of people somewhere, since then, that has had Baptist doctrine, which is Bible doctrine.

Every Baptist Pastor should have Ray’s Baptist Succession in their library. It furnishes Bible answers to the objections to Baptists. This reprint of this hard-to-find handbook of history and doctrine will answer some of history’s mysteries about who Baptists are and where we came from.

This fascinating story grips the heart, stirs the soul and fires the imagination. No one can deny the continuity of the great convictions so dear to Baptists. This book will challenge us afresh to keep them current at all costs. Every Christian should hear and know this blessed story. Rev. A. A. Davis presents the Bible truths and lets the scriptures speak their own message, he turns not to the right nor to the left, but is content to rest his entire discussion with the Word of God.

This book is a treasury of literary testimony to the truth that God has called His choice servants to a life of suffering and sacrifice. The modern day Christianity we so loosely profess and so lightly possess blushes in the presence of the martyrs and maidens found in The Bible Makes Us Baptists.

“Within the chapters of this book I will show you that Jesus started a Baptist church with the 12 Apostles. You will learn that Jesus started a visible, local church made up of saved, baptized believers. You will learn that there is no such thing as a universal, invisible church taught in the Bible. You will see the difference between being “in Christ” and “in the body.” You will also learn the origin of many of the denominations we have in our day, and why they are not true New Testament churches.”

– Evangelist Dan Goodwin, author.
