FOXE'S BOOK of MARTYRS

With millions of copies in print, Foxe's Book of Martyrs has become a classic of magnificent courage and faith. This unparalleled volume chronicles the tragic yet triumphant stories of men and women who faced torture and martyrdom rather than deny their vision of truth and of God. Beginning with Jesus Christ, this exceptional historical record traces the roots of religious persecution through the sixteenth century.

It examines the heroic lives of great men and women such as John Hus, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Anne Askew, Lady Jane Grey, and Martin Luther.

John Foxe also knew persecution. Forced to flee from his native England to Europe during Queen Mary's severe persecution of those holding Reformed views, he carefully compiled records of martyred Christians. His writings possess a sense of immediacy and insight into suffering that few "objective" church historians can match. This edition has been streamlined and reorganized by W. Grinton Berry to present work in today's language.



THE  BLOKE'S BIBLE
by Dave Hopwood

A down-to-earth retelling of certain biblical stories and truths, especially for men.  The Bloke's Bible is a selection of familiar Bible stories, retold. Running parallel is the story of an ordinary guy who goes to the pub and, opening his battered Bible, reads and reflects and wonders everything you've ever wondered. Hard-hitting, challenging and very honest, Dave Hopwood's sharp observance of human nature and divine love makes an entertaining, exciting and often poignant read.

David Hopwood has been involved in the performing arts for 24 years and is now the Creative Arts Director at Lee Abbey Conference Centre, England, where he spends much of his time using films and drama to communicate the Bible.

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS
by C.S. Lewis

In this humorous and perceptive exchange between two devils, C. S. Lewis delves into moral questions about good vs. evil, temptation, repentance, and grace.  Through this wonderful tale, the reader emerges with a better understanding of what it means to live a faithful life.

This masterpiece of satire has entertained and enlightened millions of readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of the demon Screwtape.

At once wildly comic and strikingly original, the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood shows C. S. Lewis at his darkest and most playful.  Screwtape is an experienced devil. His nephew Wormwood is just at the start of his demonic career, and has been assigned to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian.

Their letters are one of C.S. Lewis's most brilliant imaginative creations and, on publication, were recognised as a milestone in the history of popular theology.



THROUGH GATES of SPLENDOUR
by Elisabeth Elliott

The story of the five young Americans missionaries martyred by Auca Indians in the Ecuadorian jungle.

…Mary was standing with her head against the radio, her eyes closed.
After a while she spoke "they found one body…"

Missionary history will never let us forget the five young men savagely martyred by Auca Indians in the jungles of Ecuador as they attempted to reach them with the Word of God. Elisabeth Elliot records here the story of their courage in the face of extreme danger.   The challenge of their expendability for God continues as strong today as it was at the time of their deaths in 1956.  Elisabeth Elliot is an admired speaker and bestselling author of many books. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband Lars Gren.

TOTAL FORGIVENESS
by RT Kendall

Harbouring conscious or unconscious bitterness, perhaps for many years, over a hurt to oneself or loved ones, can affect all areas of our lives including our relationship with God and those around us and it can destroy our testimony. There is a deep need to forgive - but how do we forgive, what is forgiveness, how do we know we have forgiven, what and whom do we forgive? R T Kendall's book delves into these and many other related questions.

Kendall's personal and deep experience involving forgiveness and his knowledge of Biblical teaching have resulted in a book which clearly yet comprehensively explains an astonishingly broad and complex subject - one of the most difficult but vital issues that a Christian must face. The reader can relate to what Kendall says because it is not simply theoretical, he draws on his own experiences. God's requirements and His solutions are challenging in part but can be profoundly uplifting, bringing about a sense of great peace and spiritual enrichment.

'Life-changing' is an overused cliche, but this book can be instrumental in helping to successfully tackle a subject - forgiveness, totally, in a way which is exactly that - life-changing. A superb book and one that should be read by everybody, Christian or not.

We also have these three new beautiful and uplifting gift books which are bound to encourage and inspire.
