Ten essays collected on the occasion of Edwards' 300th birthday, each of which highlights an aspect of his life and legacy, showing how relevant his voice remains to this day.

Packer, John Piper, Don Whitney, Mark Dever and others.

A Spectacle Unto God: The Life and Death of Christopher Love by Don Kistler
$23.99 | Hardcover | 193 pages | Soli Deo Gloria
OUR PRICE: $15.00
One of our most inspiring and stirring biographies. Christopher Love was a brilliant young Welsh preacher, widely respected among his fellow Puritan ministers, despite his youth. But in 1651, a nervous English government became needlessly suspicious of Love, charged him with treason, and a series of events followed in which he was able to stunningly demonstrate the hope that a man of God fixes on Christ, despite turmoil and opposition. Author Don Kistler wonderfully reconstructs Love's story, not from his own imagination, but relying on original documents, including the minister's own letters to and from his pregnant wife as his day of execution approached. All at once, heart-touching and heart-wrenching, showing both the sweet peace and hope Christ supplies and the excruciating circumstances in which they found themselves. A story of victorious faith which enduring generations should read. Many pages of beautiful ink drawings of several Puritan ministers.

Letters of Samuel Rutherford by Samuel Rutherford
$39.00 | Hardcover | 744 pages | Banner of Truth
OUR PRICE: $34.50
Charles Spurgeon said: "What a wealth of spiritual ravishment we have here! Rutherford is beyond all praise of men. Like a strong-winged eagle he soars into the highest heaven and with unblenched eye he looks into the mystery of love divine. There is, to us, something mysterious, awe- creating and superhuman about Rutherford’s letters. This edition is a noble volume, and we shall measure the soundness of Scotch religion very much by the sale of this work. When we are dead and gone, let the world know that Spurgeon held Rutherford’s Letters to be the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men."
Richard Cecil said of Rutherford, "He is one of my Classics; he is a real original." Richard Baxter said of Rutherford's letters that, other than the Bible, such a book the world never saw as this collection of letters. Finally once again in a hardcover edition.

Light and Heat: The Puritan View of the Pulpit by Dr. Bruce Bickel
$14.95 | Paperback | 188 pages | Soli Deo Gloria
OUR PRICE: $12.50
Church attenders have, for the most part, lost confidence a long time ago in the ministry of the pulpit. The reasons are simple: too many pontificate in their own authority, share their own opinions rather than preach the Word, or teach under the moral cloud of being poor examples of Christian living themselves. The Puritans were men in private life and in the pulpit that today's minister would do well to make his models. This valuable work explains the Puritan minister's view of his preaching and his overall pastoral duty in relation to it. Click on "details" below for full chapter information:
