Dr. Stringer’s book is about world history from a Biblical point of view. This book is not infected with a secular world view but, rather, is written from the perspective of a student of God’s Words who sees God’s plan revealed through the study of history. It is a book that has long been needed for the pastor, missionary, evangelist, and layman.

Dr. Stringer has done a masterful job of presenting a history of the world through the prism of Scripture and godly perspective.

These are presented factually and carefully in Dr. Stringer’s masterful work. Many highly recommend this work.

Has “politically correct” history robbed you of some very important lessons?

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.

Although much has been written on the evangelical revival of the 18th century, J. C. Ryle’s Christian Leaders of the 18th Century remains the best popular introduction to this great spiritual era.

Here is a volume that should be found in every private and public library in America… a meticulously documented look back to the true birth of our nation.

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.

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.

This book outlines the thrilling story of the onward march of the Church of Christ from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century. It is not a dry-as-dust account of long-forgotten events and controversies, but rather a moving record of those who undertook the adventure of faith before us and. through their courage and steadfastness, left an example for the church in every age. Reading of the exploits of those who have gone before us, through times of prosperity and times of persecution, should stimulate, warn and encourage the church in our own age to persevere in the same path, and obtain the same everlasting reward.

First published in 1882, T. M. Lindsay’s Hand Book on the Reformation is still one of the best summaries of the sixteenth century Reformation available. Understanding the Reformation to be a revival of religion, the author maintains that it cannot be successfully described unless this, its essential character, is kept distinctly in view. Here is a thrilling record of the triumph of the Gospel in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Scotland, and England in short compass. The final section of the book explains the principles that governed the movement for reform. Also contains a valuable chronological summary.

Following the Christians Down Through The Centuries or The History of Baptist Churches From the Time of Christ, Their Founder, to the Present Day

The revival of 1859 was real and lasting, every page of this remarkable account by Professor Gibson rings with a sense of reality and authenticity. Every chapter is not only informative, but heart warming and challenging and will stir within the reader a longing that God might revive us again. After 130 years there is a distinct possibility that the events of 1859 in Ulster may be forgotten by some, and unknown by others, but it is the sincere hope of the publishers that the re-printing of this book will bring before this generation the powerful workings of God over a century ago and stimulate in many hearts, especially in those of young people, a desire for such a Divine visitation in our time.

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’.

This book looks back over the century at the development and in some cases the demise of Church Halls which made a lasting impression not only on local communities, but also impacted the world beyond our shores.
