Christians yearn for rapid advances in the progress of conversion in the world, holiness in their lives, and fruitful labor for the cause of God and truth. They want God-sent revival. These twelve chapters explore the periods and persons in American history that saw observable advances in these pervasive Christian hopes. Some manifested greater doctrinal purity than others, some highlighted distinctive personalities more than others, and some generated impressive statistics in the number of persons affected.

John Knox was one of the most remarkable pastors, thinkers, and reformers that the West has ever known. Born in the turbulent era of the 16th century, Knox became known as a bold defender of the Christian faith who suffered greatly for the sake of the gospel of Christ and His Church. Yet, despite immense conflict with the Roman papacy, various kingdoms, and even his own countrymen, Knox made it abundantly clear that he would resist tyranny and obey God at every turn.

This book is about the mercy of God. The mercy of a good God making His grace common. A gracious God who weaves His goodness through man. This is mercy in motion.

This book contains a defense of the idea that God’s rest on Day 7 of the creation week is instructive for people today. More technically, this book argues for the propriety of weekly Sabbath rest. This means that the normal pattern to be followed by humanity is a week, consisting of seven 24-hour days, six of which are spent in work while the other day is devoted to rest. Theologians would use the language of God’s rest being a “creation ordinance,” which is a term that many theologians use, but none have defined.

This little book is meant to be used as a daily devotional guide throughout the Christmas season. It is broken into five sections of five devotions. Each section focuses on one passage of Scripture that is considered verse-by-verse. The book is designed for use as a personal or family devotion tool. Each individual study has some questions to help apply the passage and each section has a text to commit to memory. As a bonus, there are several original Christmas poems in this work from my dear friend, Dr. Tom Nettles that I am sure will be an encouragement to you.

This is an expanded edition of the book originally published in 1991. It was also previously published a couple times with updated content. This contains all the content from all previous editions, edited and updated with a new, never before published chapter, “A Christian Approach to Racism”.

“Danville Richmond Rail Line” In the heart of Tennessee, amidst the rolling hills and fertile fields, the Caine family's peaceful existence is shattered by the looming threat of the Civil War. Virgil Caine, the eldest son, finds himself torn between his loyalty to the South and his love for his cousin George, a Unionist from Boston. As tensions rise and the nation teeters on the brink of conflict, Virgil and his younger brother Samuel are called to arms, their youthful idealism blinding them to the horrors that await them on the battlefield.

The letters in this book were born out of a deep love for Joy and Dean by friends and family. We desired to walk with them through this hard journey and support them however we could. My hope is that these letters, originally written to support my sister through her suffering, will provide some comfort and encouragement to other fellow-sufferers who are walking a hard path.
