 click for details | | SECRETS OF HAPPY HOME LIFE J.R. Miller "Secrets of Happy Home Life" by J.R. Miller is a little book that can transform every home that it enters. The Spirit of God blesses the truth and nothing but the truth, and this booklet is filled with truth. It was first published in 1894, and immediately found its way into homes and hearts all over the world. Tens of thousands of copies were printed and stories came from far and wide about marriages that were preserved from certain destruction by the simple, biblical instruction found in these pages. Jerry Bridges said, "Secrets of Happy Home Life is one of the most helpful and heartwarming books I have read on family relationships. Though written a hundred years ago, its message is timeless and much needed today." "This little volume is priceless! Miller rightly and forthrightly tells his readers that Christ is the secret of a happy home life; but he doesn't leave that as a nebulous concept. Miller breaks this truth into bite-sized pieces of spiritual instruction that bring soul nourishment on every page. The approach is truly pastoral. The memorable phrases teach practically, convict consistently, and comfort surely. This is a fine tool for the Holy Spirit to use in bringing the grace of Christ to the homes of believers. Pastors: Get it into the hands of every one of your church families. You won't regret the investment!" - Bill Shishko, Pastor, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Franklin Square, NY Don Whitney added, "The language of this little book is quaint, but its truths are timeless. Miller wrote with a warm, sweet-spirited style." Randy Stinson, of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, said, "This is an absolute 'must read' for engaged couples, newlyweds, and marriage veterans, who will all benefit from this insightful and instructive little book."

 click for details | | THE HOME BEAUTIFUL J.R. Miller From the Original Foreword: "Several months before the death of Dr. J.R. Miller, he made plans for THE HOME BEAUTIFUL. The suggestion had been made to him that it would be helpful if he would take the heart of the books "Week Day Religion," "Practical Religion," "Home Making," and "In His Steps," and make a new volume on Christian home life. It was his purpose to improve on the suggestion made to him by preparing a number of new chapters. The plan was not to be carried out. God called him from earth before he was able to do more than begin preparation of the volume. However, he talked so fully of his plans to his associates, that it has been possible to arrange "The Home Beautiful" in a manner that it is felt to be in accordance with the wishes of one whose life was devoted to inspiring men, women and children to the life that alone can make the home really beautiful." --John T. Faris, October 1912 This is a masterpiece on the family. It is so simple, and yet so powerful, as it sets forth the privileges and responsibilities of each member of the household in making the home a beautiful place to both live and die. 50% Discount SGCB Price: $4.00 (list price $8.00)Purchase 10+ copies @ $3.75 each SGCB Price: $3.75 (list price $8.00)ENTER THE NUMBER OF COPIES YOU WANT |

 click for details | | THE CHILD AT HOME Living to Please God and Your Parents John S.C. Abbott "This book is intended for the children of those families to which 'The Mother at Home' has gone. It is prepared with the hope that it may exert an influence upon the minds of the children, in exciting grattitude for their parents' love, and in forming characters which shall ensure future usefulness and happiness." - From the author's Preface John Abbott (1805-1877) was the brother of Jacob Abbott and the author of numerous works especially for children and young people. He was educated at Bowdoin college and Andover theological seminary, graduating from the former in 1825. He was ordained to the ministry in the Congregational church in 1830, and was settled successively at Worcester, Roxbury, and Nantucket, Mass. His first published work, "The Mother at Home," appeared in 1833, and was followed later that year by "The Child at Home." In 1844 he relinquished the pastorate, and devoted himself exclusively to literature, but occasionally resumed his ministerial labors for brief periods, and in 1866-'8 acted as state supply in New Haven. "In a moving, illustrative way, Abbott's The Child at Home powerfully cultivates within children's consciences the need to honor God and their parents by promoting the need for heartfelt obedience, religious truth, genuine piety, biblical character traits, a sense of responsibility, and a dread of deception. The dozens of stories included make this book understandable for even very young children, while simultaneously retaining the interest of teenagers. Buy this book for every one of your children; better yet, read it aloud to them and discuss its contents together as a family." --Dr. Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary 30% Discount SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $15.00)Order with "The Mother at Home" and "The Family at Home" SGCB Price: $32.95 (list price $55.00)A 40% Discount Until October 31st |

Abbott "Long esteemed as one of the most valued works from the 19th century on the art of mothering and the glory of the work of the mother at home. For any girl who was raised without much discipline and in need of instruction on proper discipline of her own children, this is a superb guide. Rarely in print and worth obtaining at any price. Christian mothers who want biblical counsel on Christian child rearing will find this book valuable." -Grace and Truth Books "The object of this book is practical utility, not literary effect. It is written for mothers in the common walks of life. There are many mothers, in every village of our land, who are looking eagerly for information respecting the government of their children. It is hoped that the following treatise may render them some assistance." from the Author's Preface "The Mother at Home" is now being published as the companion volume to "The Child at Home" by the same author. This volume was actually written first and its immediate success induced Abbott to write the companion volume for the children. Every mother and grandmother ought to read this book once a year to remind them of their most solemn duty, in the words of the author, "to lead their children to the Savior, and to prepare them for their heavenly home." 50% Discount SGCB Price: $7.50 (list price $15.00)Order with "The Child at Home" and "The Family at Home" SGCB Price: $32.95 (list price $55.00)A 40% Discount Until October 31st |

Sprague In the language of Dr. Sprague, "This is a work that will bear to be read more than once, and each successive reading wiil be likely to reveal some new gem of thought, which, in the general mass of excellence, had been overlooked before. It is a book suitable for the husband to present to his wife, the mother to her daughter, and the brother to his sister; and the more widely it is circulated, the better for the country and the world." "It is not sufficient praise to say that we have been interested in the perusal of this book. It is just such a book as the times demand. It presents to the female mind incentives to live for something more noble than to flit like a butterfly in the sunshine of capricious admiration. 'The Excellent Woman, described in the Book of Proverbs,' is the text by which the writer enforces the truth that, true dignity and honor are alone attained by a thorough knowledge, and continued practice of the relative duties of life. We recommend it to the careful perusal of all our patrons.' - The Mothers' Journal. "An excellent book, elegantly printed, and embellished with some twenty-four beautiful engravings. We commend the work most cordially to mothers, sisters, and daughters."

The absolute authority of the parent over their children must be achieved at a very young age, but there are better ways of winning over the heart of the young to complete obedience other than harsh words or even violent punishment. Excellent chapters on "Gentle Punishment of Disobedience," "Rewarding Obedience," "The Art of Training," the place of "Encouragement and Commendation," and many other subjects rarely covered by modern Christian authors.

 | | WITH THE CHILDREN ON SUNDAYS Through Eye-Gate and Ear-Gate into the City of Child-Soul Sylvanius Stall Back in print! Large, oversized paperback edition. The most delightful family readings ever composed, from an author with great skill in presenting Bible truths in a form which grips the eye, holds the mind's attention, and wins the heart of a child for Christ. Many call this the finest book for family worship they have ever used. First published 1893. From the Preface: "In some households Sunday is looked forward to with anticipations of pleasure throughout the entire week. In these homes, the father does not come down stairs on Sunday morning and say: "Now, children, gather up those flowers, throw them out of the window, pull down the blinds, get down the Bible and we will have an awful solemn time here to-day." neither is the day given to frivolity or the home to demoralizing influences. From morning until night there are two great principles that govern; first, the sacredness of the day, and second, the sacredness of the God-given nature of childhood. The day is not spent in repressing the child nature by a succession of "don't do that," "now stop that," etc., that begin in the morning and continue throughout the day, and end only when the little ones lose consciousness in sleep on Sunday night. In these homes, the parents recognize the fact that the child nature is the same whether the day is secular or sacred. On Sunday the child nature is not repressed, but the childish impulses are directed into channels suited to the sacredness of the day. In such homes the children, instead of being sorry that it is Sunday, are glad; instead of regretting the return of the day with dislike and dread, they welcome it as the brightest, the cheeriest and the best of all the week."

 | | FEED MY LAMBS Lectures to Children on Matters of Life and Death John Todd "This little work, after having passed through fifteen editions in this country (USA), and we know not how many in England, after having been translated into French, German, Greek, and many more languages, printed in raised letters for the blind, and last of all, having been adopted as a school-book for the liberated slaves at Sierra Leone, is now sent forth by the publishers in a new dress, with the addition of two new Lectures." - Author's Preface John Todd (1800-1873) was a graduate of Yale College and Andover Theological Seminary. His theology was molded by the works of Jonathan Edwards, and he had the privilege of pastoring Edwards Memorial Church in Northampton, MA. William G. Blaikie said, "In preaching to the young, Dr. Todd has attained the first rank in this department of work. The American mind has such a proclivity to sharp, terse forms of expression, clever analogies and illustrations, keen analysis of feelings, vivid description and warm coloring, that we do not wonder tghat it should excel in addresses to which such qualities contribute so largely." These lectures are the fruit of a ministry directed with conviction to the consciences of the young. From the opening page of these lectures the reader is addressed in such a personal way that he cannot but hear the words for himself. Not only should these be read by and to children, but every pastor and Sunday School teacher should read it and learn the delicate art of speaking to children. This was a best seller in the middle of the 19th century, but it has been buried for more than 125 years. It is high time Todd was able to speak again for the cause of God and truth. 25% Discount SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $15.00)Order TODD'S TRILOGY for Children SGCB Price: $24.95 (list price $45.00)Over 45% Discount - Save $20.00 |

 | | EARLY PIETY ILLUSTRATED Memoir of Nathan W. Dickerman, the Little Sufferer, Whose Testimony Touched Hearts the World Over Gorham Abbott This volume contains the incrdible story of the conversion and death bed of a young boy who died nearly three months prior to his 8th birthday. Nathan Dickerman (1822-1830) was not raised in a godly home but one day a Sabbath School Teacher invited him to come to his class. This was the beginning of Nathan's dramatic conversion. Dying of consumption, Nathan demonstrated such unusual depths of humility and love for Christ that there was a steady stream of pastors and Sabbath School Teachers who would sit by his bed and minister to him. More often than not they would leave the greater blessed. Gorham Abbott, brother of John & Jacob, was assigned the priviliged task of keeping a journal of the last months of Nathan's life. This he did with great tenderness and care. This is a book for every parent, pastor, teacher and child. It sets forth a heart-warming example of how Jesus Christ tenderly cares for his little lambs. It will be a strong rebuke to those who question whether or not children can experience genuine conversion. 25% Discount until October 31st SGCB Price: $7.95 (list price $11.00)NOW AVAILABLE |

 click for details | | A MANUAL FOR THE YOUNG: An Exposition of Proverbs 1-9 Charles Bridges A Manual for the Young is a book that combines two works by Charles Bridges suited for and directed to those in the prime of life. The first, and larger part of this work, is Bridges justly famous Exposition of Proverbs 1-9, which is extracted from his complete Commentary on the Book of Proverbs. In his own words, in 1859 he published the first nine chapters of his exposition with the title A Manual for the Young, "in accordance with suggestions repeatedly made to me." The second, and briefer part, is called An Address to Young Persons After Confirmation, which was used for many years in both the US and the UK as a gift for those just entering the Christian life. It is a fitting conclusion to his exposition of Proverbs, and is here reprinted for the first time in more than a century. Spurgeon said of Bridges work on Proverbs, "THE BEST WORK ON PROVERBS. The Scriptural method of exposition so well carried out by Bridges renders all his writings very suggestive to ministers. While explaining the passage in hand, he sets other portions of the Word in new light. 40% Discount SGCB Price: $8.00 (list price $13.00) |

 click for details | | SIX BOYS: FROM BOYHOOD TO MANHOOD A Mother's Story of God's Faithfulness As Told by Some Extracts from Her Journal A 19th Century Widow This touching and instructive title was first published by the American Tract Society in 1871, and expresses the heart of the entire book in the words of the Psalmist: "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord" (Psalm 27:14). The book commences with a journal entry dated Sunday Evening, December 1st, 1801. It begins by announcing the sad fact that the godly and beloved father of the family of six boys died but four weeks earlier. The opening words of the journal set the tone for the entire work: "This evening, my son Elias came to me, apart from his brothers, and, after standing beside me a moment in silence, asked, with earnest, sorrowful face, if I would write down on paper, for his own keeping, his father's last words to him. I cannot tell why the child made the request; but perhaps he feels the natural lightness of boyish spirits rising fast again from the heavy sorrow that fell upon them four weeks ago, and with a tender, thoughtful heart, fears to lose the impressions and resolves of that sad hour." "While writing those precious words for my son, I thought it might be a comfort and a help to me also to have recorded here my dear husband's last directions and encouragements to me, lest in the lapse of years, or the pressure of business and cares, they should ever be less distinctly remembered, or less frequently referred to. I would have them the law of my conduct, next to the Holy Scriptures. As I went to him, living, for counsel and cheer, so now I may come here, and read over, for my general help in the conduct of life, the words that he left when dying." "SIX BOYS reaches back into Christian America to reveal a depth of character and dignity in families that typically escapes our shallow fare. This book affords great opportunity to explore the thoughtful faith of our heritage expressed through the grief of a humble family." -Selah Helms, author of "Small Talks on Big Questions" WE HOPE TO HAVE THIS AVAILABLE BY THE FALL OF 2006.

| | THE DOMESTIC MINISTER'S ASSISTANT Classic Book of Prayers for Use in Family Worship William Jay "If, in the title of this volume, the Author has used the word 'Minister' in rather an unusual latitude, its adjective will serve to explain, and restrict it. The 'Domestic' Minister intends, not the pastor, or preacher; not the servant of the Most High God, who officially shows unto men the way of salvation - but he who adopts the resolution of Joshua, 'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.'" - from the Preface For lovers of VALLEY OF VISION this will be a very welcome volume, as a master in Israel leads the people of God to the throne of grace, both in private devotions and family worship. This volume was, in fact, one of the leading volumes used in assisting Arthur Bennett in the production of that great book Valley of Vision which has touched hearts all over the world. Spurgeon said of William Jay, "O for more Jays. We would gladly give some two or three dozen of the general run of doctors of divinity for one such a Master in Israel as William Jay of Bath." "William Jay (1769-1853) had a long and fruitful career as a preacher of the gospel by voice and pen. He pastored Argyle Chapel in Bath, a spa town in southwest England for more than six decades. Like Spurgeon and Whitefield, he was thirsty for souls, and had much fruit as an evangelistic preacher. Sheridan, the playwright, described Jay as the most natural orator he had ever heard, and John Foster called him the prince of preachers." - James I. Packer SGCB Price: $13.95 (list price $23.99) |

 click for details | | OF DOMESTICAL DUTIES The Classic Puritan Treatise on the Christian Family William Gouge "We are grateful to Solid Ground for this new reprint of Gouge's classic on family living titled, Of Domesticall Duties (1622), last printed by Walter Johnson in facsimile in 1976. This penetrating analysis of the godly household for which Gouge became best known in his own day, is divided into eight sections dealing with the duties of family life. In the first part, Gouge explains the foundation of family duties, based on Ephesians 5:21- 6:9. The second part deals with the husband-wife relationship. The third focuses on the duties of wives, and the fourth with the duties of husbands. The fifth examines the duties of children, and the sixth, the duties of parents. The final parts examine the relationships and duties of servants and their masters. While some of Gouge's material is outdated, his emphasis and advice are timeless on the whole. Usher claims that Gouge is finally being 'recognized as one of the subtlest of early modern writers to articulate the concept of companionable marriage' (his own was regarded as exemplary) and of considerate, rather than merely prescriptive, parenthood. His psychological insights into the nature of childhood and adolescence can be breathtaking in their modernity. He even touches on the question of child-abuse, a subject effectively taboo until the 1970s (Oxford DNB, 23:38). Gouge is a skilled expositor who draws practical applications from the Epistles in instructing families how to walk in a manner worthy of their Lord. As a father of seven sons and six daughters, Gouge knew whereof he spoke. - Joel Beeke, taken from the Introduction TABLE OF CONTENTS Biographical Introduction by Dr. Joel Beeke The First Treatise: An Exposition of That Part of Scripture out of which Domestical Duties Are Raised The Second Treatise Part 1 - Of Husband and Wife, who are so to be Accounted The Second Treatise Part II - Of common-mutual duties betwixt Man and Wife The Third Treatise: Of Wives' Particularities The Fourth Treatise: Husbands Particular Duties The Fifth Treatise: Duties of Children The Sixth Treatise: The Duties of Parents The Seventh Treatise: Duties of Servants The Eighth Treatise: Duties of Masters 30% Discount Until October 31st SGCB Price: $34.99 (list price $50.00)Large Hardcover Volume |

 | | THE COMPLETE HUSBAND: A Practical Guide to Biblical Husbanding Lou Priolo Many books on the market seem to speak to the issue of what it means to be a "biblical husband." But no one has put it all together in such a complete, scripturally sound way like Lou Priolo. Lou has taken his considerable experience as a biblical counselor and poured it into this book. His message?: "Men, your wife came with an owner's manual; it's called the Bible." Self-examination for the men is the order of the day, as well as being sensitive to the dreams, goals--and fears of the wife. This book fills a tremendous void in the "marital relationship" book market! When the word gets out, it will become a favorite gift to husbands from their wives. A book to read and return to often. -- Ted Tripp SGCB Price: $11.95 (list price $15.95) |

 click for details | | WOMAN: Her Mission and Her Life Adolphe Monod Adolphe Monod is best known for his book "Monod's Farewell" which was published most recently by Banner of Truth. Monod was a gifted preacher in the Reformed Church in France. This volume is the substance of two sermons preached to the congregation in Paris in February 1848. The translator of this work says the following in his introduction: "The Translator of these two discourses of Monod is happy to think that his slight labors in the course of Truth have been apprehended. He is persuaded that no woman can thoughtfully read this small volume without being influenced for the better, and that such may be its long continuous influence on intelligent Christian women is the hearty and prayerful desire of the Translator in commending this Second Edition to their attention." -Rev. W.G. Barrett "Adolphe Monod's understanding of woman as she was created from the rib of man is profound, yet thrilling to the heart in it's simplicity. Through woman, sin entered the world; through woman, the Savior came also. Regenerate woman is the only woman and she finds her way :' beneath the cross or nowhere'. This book is for every woman who seeks to know her mission for which she was created by God, and the life which comes forth from that knowledge, which God expects and will work in her. It is not only for woman but for every man whose life is touched by woman." -Shirley Cole, At What Price Truth? 33% Discount SGCB Price: $7.95 (list price $12.00) |

The poignant quotes from voices of the past coupled with Carol's insightful applications make a powerful combination. Christian mothers who are serious about imparting truth to their children on a daily basis will greatly value this practical work." - Mary K.

Reminding us of the importance of sound biblical doctrine, she instructs parents on our unique responsibilities to teach and love our children, so that they know of their sin and of God's sovereignty, judgment, and abounding grace in Christ Jesus. I wholeheartedly recommend the book and its teaching!" -Michael H. Griffin, Elder, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC "Many good reasons could be given for publishing this book.

 click for details | | THE SCRIPTURE GUIDE: A Familiar Introduction to the Study of the Bible James W. Alexander "The great end of all religious teaching would be attained, if men could be brought to read the Bible aright. No books, therefore, are unimportant, which point to the Holy Scriptures. Such is the present attempt, which is expressly dedicated to the YOUNG. It is intended for excitement as well as instruction; not only to communicate information and explain difficulties, but to offer inducements for the study of the Bible." - from the author's Preface "This fascinating book by a superb theologian and pastor provides a wealth of information about the Bible and serves as an able introductory guide to Bible study as well as an effective evangelistic tool. The directions given in the last chapters on how to read the Bible are themselves worth the price of the book." - Dr. Joel R. Beeke James W. Alexander (1804-1859) was the oldest son of Archibald Alexander. In addition to being a brilliant lecturer and preacher in college, seminary and the local church, Alexander labored to write books that would speak to the hearts and minds of the simple. He wrote numerous volumes for The American Sunday School Union that were unusually popular with all ages and all classes of people. THIS MAY BE HIS BEST CONTRIBUTION TO THAT DISTINGUISHED MINISTRY. Written in the form of a story, Alexander has two young boys spend the Christmas holiday with their elderly Uncle Austin, who has earned the nickname "The Bible Man." Follow these young fellows as they enjoy their vacation by learning life-changing lessons from the Holy Scriptures. The final three chapters set forth 30 Directions for Studying the Bible. These are worth the price of the book! SGCB Price: $12.95 (list price $18.00) |

 click for details | | Young Lady's Guide Harvey Newcomb "A good book from the past for the needs of the present. It is a 'Teacher's Manual' by which parents may scripturally and practically guide their daughters along the path of goodness and godliness. Its principles and practices are lights along the pathway of life for young ladies who desire to become godly women for the glory of God. It should be read, studied, prayed over, and put into practice by parents, young ladies, and - yes - even young men! It should be in every home, and in the library of every young lady. It is a 'companion' book for a lifetime." -Pastor Don Scott For years the publisher has been searching for a companion volume to THOUGHTS FOR YOUNG MEN by J.C. Ryle. This is it! Harvey Newcomb (1803-1863) wrote 178 volumes, mostly for children and young adults. This volume, YOUNG LADY'S GUIDE, was by far his most popular book, and is subtitled To The Harmonious Development of Christian Character. In the words of the author, "The 'Young Lady's Guide' was intended for a class of females, who have attained some degree of maturity of character, and who are supposed already to have entered upon a religious life." This would be a wonderful gift for graduation from High School or College. While some of the language is dated, having been written over 150 years ago, it nevertheless speaks directly to the heart and mind of young ladies who desire to serve Jesus Christ in the 21st century. paperback edition (as pictured) SGCB Price: $14.95 (list price $22.00)35% Off Until October 31st |

Each truth was to be like a little pillow --- something comforting and supportive to rest upon during the night. She teaches through vivid word pictures that bring everyday images to a child's mind, thus linking the spiritual to the child's world. This is child evangelism as it should be: plain, simple, truthful, without manipulation or deceit." - Carol Brandt Little Pillows is a precious little book filled with promises upon which young children can rest their heads as they go to bed each night. Morning Bells is the companion volume written to give these same children a passage to carry with them throughout the day. A wonderful book to read to young children, and for them to read to each other as they grow older. SGCB Price: $12.95 (list price $16.00) |
