 | | CLASSIC HARDCOVER BIOGRAPHY SET Martin Luther - John Knox - George Washington - Andrew Jackson FOUR BEAUTIFUL FACSIMILE EDITIONS OF CLASSIC 19TH CENTURY BIOGRAPHIES: THE LIFE OF MARTIN LUTHER by Barnas Sears An historic and comprehensive biography of early Christianity's most influential leader of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther. Controversial and visionary, Luther's life is revealed in this rare presentation of his work as an educator and church leader. From his birth and childhood, to his religious education, and the events leading up to the Protestant Reformation, you will discover the views and experiences that led to his excommunication by the Pope in 1520. Correspondence and accounts shed further light on Luther's defiant translation of the Bible from Latin to the language of the common man. This unique biography is reproduced from an 1850 American Sunday School Union original, and in it you will be introduced to the pivotal life of this enigmatic man before, during, and after one of Christianity's defining events. THE LIFE OF JOHN KNOX by the American Sunday School Union Rare vignettes featuring the Protestant Reformation's fiercest defender! John Knox had a life of exciting adventure, harsh imprisonment, and brilliant scholarship. Fighting battles both political and religious, Knox bravely defied royalty, nobility, and the established power of the Papacy to speak the truth. A fiery and inspirational preacher, he fiercely upheld the authority of Scripture and salvation through Christ's sacrifice. In perilous times, Knox risked his life daily in a fearless and tireless defense of the faith! This title was originally published by the ASSU, now called American Missionary Fellowship. THE LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON by Anna Reed A rare, faith-filled historic biography of America's first President, George Washington. Pull back the dark shrouds of secular revisionist history, and meet the humble believer, godly leader, and devoted son who became a fledgling country's source of strength and inspiration. Constantly seeking to serve others and place God first in his life and in the struggle for American freedom, George Washington was a revered and reverent man. In this special edition of a vintage 1842 original, readers will go beyond today's simple footnotes of this great leader, to discover the man behind the title of 'Father of Our Country.' From letters and personal accounts, a fuller and more accurate picture emerges of a man who lived by, and was led by, a deep and abiding faith THE LIFE & PUBLIC SERVICES OF ANDREW JACKSON by John Jenkins From wilderness pioneer to the perils of the oval office! Andrew Jackson was a popular hero and America's seventh president. He was successful on the battlefield and exemplified the rough and hardy qualities of a frontiersman. His legacy is a controversial one due to his support for slavery and forced removal of Native Americans from their lands. Jackson's policies sought to change the balance of power by strengthening the presidency as well as promoting public interest and activity in the government. This reproduction of a rare 1847 biography was meticulously scanned to authenticate the look and feel of the original. This case-bound treasure holds precious historical information about one of America's most controversial heroes.

 | | ANNALS OF THE WORLD Archbishop James Ussher Master Books commissioned this important literary work to be updated from the 17th-century original Latin manuscript to modern English and made available to the general public for the first time. In its pages can be found the fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. Find Out: - Why was Julius Caesar kidnapped in 75 B.C.? - Why did Alexander the Great burn his ships in 326 B.C.? - What really happened when the sun 'went backward' as a sign to Hezekiah? - What does secular history say about the darkness at the Crucifixion? In the years 1650-1654, James Ussher set out to write a history of the world from creation to A.D. 70. The result was published in 1658 as the literary classic The Annals of the World. This famous comprehensive history of the world, originally published in Latin, offers a look at history rarely seen. Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering much information from the actual historical documents. Many of these documents are no longer available, having been destroyed since the time of his research. Using the Bible as his timeline, Ussher began with the death of Nebuchadnezzar as a reliable date and worked backward through the genealogies of the Old Testament to arrive at the date of creation - 4004 B.C. Integrating biblical history (around 15% of the text is from the Bible) with secular (around 85% of the material is from non-biblical sources), Ussher wrote this masterpiece. Considered not only a literary classic, but also an accurate reference, The Annals of the World was so highly regarded for its preciseness that the timeline from it was included in the margins of many King James Version Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, calling to mind the fact that the earth is only around 6,000 years old. The fact that Ussher's chronology has been deleted from Bibles is evidence of the Church's backsliding into the deceptive ideas of evolution. The Annals of the World is a necessary addition to any church library, pastor's library, or any library - public or personal. The entire text has been updated from 17th-century English to present-day vernacular in a five-year project commissioned by Master Books. Containing many human-interest stories from the original historical documents collected by Ussher, this is more than just a history book - it's a work of history. - Important literary work that has been inaccessible in book form for over 300 years - Includes CD of Ussher's Chronology of the World - full of colored charts, graphs, timelines, and much, much more - Translated into modern English for the first time - Traces world history from creation through A.D. 70 - Over 10,000 footnotes from the original text have been updated to references from works in the Loeb Classical Library by Harvard Press - Over 2,500 citations from the Bible and the Apocrypha - Ussher's original citations have been checked against the latest textual scholarship - One of history's most famous and well-respected historians - Spent over five years researching and writing this book - Entered college at age 13 - Received his master's degree at age 18 - Was an expert in Semitic languages - Buried in Westminster Abbey About the Book: - Made of the highest quality material: Smyth sewn, gold-gilded edges, foil embossing on front, back, and spine - Cover presented in the style of classic literary works - Packaged in a beautiful box for display purposes and durability - 8 appendixes - Fully indexed - Paragraphs numbered - Chronological presentation of material Over 30% Discount on Beautiful Hardcover Volume SGCB Price: $51.95 (list price $69.99)30% Discount on Beautiful Paperback Volume SGCB Price: $25.95 (list price $34.99) |
