Billy R. Toler’s Personal Reflections of Dr. Harold B. Sightler

A biography of J. Frank Norris

Twenty years with Rev. William A. Sunday gives me the right to say that I knew the real Billy Sunday, not the man publicity created but the flaming apostle of Christianity. He was too real to be pictured by any of the labels mistakenly put on him. So a friendship born of a score of years gives birth to this book. It is the attempt to suggest a true picture of his personality. His simplicity was so genuine, his utter devotion to his work so complete, and the results so far-reaching that I feel this generation should have a record of his dynamic personality from one who knew him. Such is the basis for the chapters which follow.

The story of Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones told through his own letters.

D Martyn Lloyd-Jones

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.

Includes a biographical sketch of Jonathan Edwards by Phillip E. Howard Jr. This intensely devotional diary of a young 1740s missionary in the American wilderness inspired the world missions movement.

This life of Hodge by his son and successor, Archibald Alexander Hodge, written shortly after his father’s death, brings together a wealth of material from Hodge’s letters, diaries, journal articles, and personal reflections.

Benjamin Morgan Palmer (1818-1902) ‘one of the few greatest preachers of the first nineteen centuries of the Christian era’, was just 25 when he became the successor of J. H. Thornwell in Columbia, South Carolina, and 38 at the commencement of his 46-year pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church in the great business centre of New Orleans.

This biography takes us behind the public figure to the humble, prayerful Christian whose life was marked by affliction. His only son was lost in childhood and four daughters were to die, one after another, followed by his wife. As Palmer saw it, ‘The earthly lights are put out that no earthly love may come in between Him and us.’

This is not only a great biography; it is an outstandingly relevant record in an age when the church needs a recovery of spiritual strength and vision. It would be hard to read it sympathetically without being led to pray.

Are our civil and religious freedoms under threat? According to some social commentators we are living in very uncertain times in which the freedoms we have long enjoyed are coming under increasing pressure. The liberty we take so much for granted may not be as secure as we think.

There is new material here, including some pages where the author differs with his friend. But Murray seeks to follow Lloyd-Jones in seeing the glory of God as the end of all Christian life and thought.

Spiritual leaders lead people to heaven. Here in Seven Leaders are accounts of seven such men, together with the distinctive features of their lives—in John Elias, the necessity of the power of the Holy Spirit; in Andrew Bonar, the reality of communion with Christ; in Archie Brown, the irresistibility of love; in Kenneth MacRae, the need for faithfulness to death; in Martyn Lloyd-Jones, theology and doctrine; in W. J. Grier, passing on the ‘sacred deposit’; and in John MacArthur, the governing authority of the word of God. An Old Testament miracle once took place at a burial. We are told that when the deceased was ‘let down and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet’ (2 Kings 13:21). Through books, the past can be touched, and the consequence may be as much of God as when Martin Luther handled the old writings of Jan Huss. Records of faithful servants of Christ still speak and can bring new life today.

Fresh off a farm in east Texas, living halfway around the world with the U.S. Air Force, Bob Hughes fell in love with the Filipino people and became burdened to share with them the Saviour they so desperately needed. He returned to that Asian nation and was used of God to build one of the most incredible mission works of the 20th century in less than 20 years. A man whose influence in world missions is still felt on both sides of the Pacific more than three decades after his death, Bob Hughes was a servant of the Lord and has been an inspiration to countless Christians. This book, which includes firsthand accounts by dozens of people who knew Bob personally, will allow a new generation to become acquainted with a man who truly believed that, with God, nothing is impossible.
