Ferguson This precious book contains all the sermons, articles and book reviews on this vital subject by one of the most brilliant theologians America has ever produced. Sinclair Ferguson, author and pastor, said, "I commend these pages, as one who has continually been helped by their contents. It is a treasure to be enjoyed again and again." "These sermons, articles, and book reviews, collected from Warfield's writings, show the genuine stamp of Reformed experiential piety that rested on the great 19th-century Princeton theologians. The sermons on the leading and sealing of the Spirit are themselves worth the price of the book. Would you like guidance in learning how to live more closely to Christ, how to walk more by faith through the Spirit, and how to wrestle at the throne of grace?

		THE HISTORY OF THE WALDENSES J.A. Wylie The Waldeneses hold a special place in our Christian heritage. Their defense of the faith of Jesus despite persecution and martyrdom is unique in the christian church. During the long centries of papal supremacy, they defied the crushing power of Rome and rejected its false doctines and human traditions. This stalwart people cherished and preserved the pure Word of God. Throughout this time, despite the great danger involved, Waldensian missionaries left their rocky fortresses to share portions of scripture with those searching for the light of God's Word.

Warfield (1861-1936) was the younger brother of Benjamin B. Warfield, and a man who served Christ as did his older, more famous brother. These ten messages were delivered on Sunday afternoons to the students of Lafayette College where Dr. Warfield served as President from 1891-1915. According to the author, "They have also in most cases been published in such papers as the Sunday School Times, the New York Observer, and the Presbyterian Messenger. They are now published in the hope that they may bring a message of cheer to others who are seeking to live for Christ and his service." The Contents are as follows - 1) "Let Him Who Loves Me Follow Me" 2) Loyalty to Evil 3) Christian Aspiration 4) The Lesson of Solomon's Decline 5) The Longing of the Soul for God 6) The Christian's 'Cordon Bleu' 7) The Beauty of Boyhood 8) True Manhood 9) Responsibility 10) College Life and College Learning THIS IS A VERY RARE VOLUME! THOUGHTS FOR YOUNG MEN by J.C. Ryle Published over 120 years ago this volume is the perfect compliment to Warfield's AT THE EVENING HOUR, as the Bishop of Liverpool in England opened his heart to the future of his country. This is the exact, unedited version from 1886. "RYLE IS MAGNIFICENT! There's no other word for it, - are you brave enough to face hard-hitting truth and have God search your heart on things that matter most? Then Ryle is the man for you! Do yourself a favor - read this and think about what you read." - J.I. Packer "I heartily endore it, and strongly commend it to both Christian leaders and fathers, not to mention older and younger men alike." - John MacArthur, Jr. "Thougjhts for Young Men is pure spiritual gold." - Jerry Bridges "Thoughts for Young Men abounds in reliable counsel and says - with a rare combination of seriousness and graciousness - the very things we need to hear. Young men, for whom it was written, will find it invaluable; but all Christians, men or women, young or old, can read it with lasting benefit. It deserves to be widely read and circulated, and will do spiritual good to every reader." - Sinclair Ferguson Pre-Publication Special Price SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $18.00) Expected in late December 2009 Order 10 or More Copies (50% Off) SGCB Price: $9.00 (list price $18.00) ENTER THE EXACT QUANTITY INTO CART AND UPDATE QTY

Dr. Hawker was the very least of commentators in the matter of criticism, but he sees Jesus, and that is a sacred gift which is most precious whether the owner be a critic or no. There is always such a savor of the Lord Jesus Christ in Dr. Hawker that you cannot read him without profit." - Charles H. Spurgeon from "Commenting on Commentaries" ""Robert Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary edifies believers by providing spiritual comments on each section of Scripture. The 'Pious Reflections' section that follows Hawker's comments on each chapter of Scripture marvelously enhances this devotional character. For the genuine Christian, here is devotional writing at its best: warmly Christ-centered, eminently practical, personally searching. I commend it highly for private and family worship." - Joel Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, MI THIS VOLUME HAS NEVER EXISTED IN THIS FORM. THE STRUCTURE: Monday - Friday each week you will read one chapter of the New Testament along with the Pious Reflections of Hawker. This way in 260 days (52 weeks x 5) you will complete the entire New Testament of 260 chapters.

All the readings are brief out of sensitivity to the weakened condition of those to whom she wrote. In her Preface Mrs. Hopkins said, "The chamber of sickness! -- what a gloom is cast over the mind by the words! How repulsive are the associations they suggest of pain, and weariness, and weakness, and desolation, and despair! --- To all the sufferers from disease, in whatever form, whom this little book shall reach, may its words prove a solace and a support."

		SCRIPTURE BIOGRAPHY FOR THE YOUNG With Critical Illustrations and Practical Remarks Volumes 6 - 11 Thomas H. Gallaudet (1787-1851) was the Apostle to the Deaf in the United States. He devoted his life to teach the underprivileged the truths of God's Word. He wrote dozens and dozens of books using simple, straightforward language for children, young people and adults. These volumes are intended to take children and young people by the hand to lead them through the fascinating stories of the leading characters in the Old Testamernt Scriptures. Every chapter concludes with pointed and practical application to the hearts of the readers. The author is convinced that "the facts of the Bible should form a considerable part of a child's religious reading, instead of that mass of fictitious narrative which, at present, so greatly abounds." These are perfect for Family Devotions and would be appropriate to use with children from 5 years old to the late teens.

		PRACTICAL EXPOSITIONS OF THE WHOLE BOOKS OF RUTH AND ESTHER George Lawson Spurgeon said of the Exposition of Ruth: "By a man of great genius. Simple, fresh, and gracious. Nothing critical or profound may be looked for, but wise and sound teaching may be gleaned in these pages." Spurgeon also said the following about the Exposition of Esther: "Intended for the general reader. The discourses are as spiritual and unaffected as their excellent author. Dr. John Brown, in commending all the Lawson books, says that 'he has rendered subjects, apprarently barren, full of instruction." "George Lawson (1749-1820) was one of the best preachers and theologians of the Scottish Secession Church. His popular lectures on Ruth and Esther are full of practical wisdom and insight. He writes engagingly, simply, and powerfully--and all that he says is trustworthy. This overlooked gem is well worth your reading." --Dr. Joel R.

		TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED: The Sermons of Robert S. Candlish Robert Smith Candlish This is a precious and very rare volume of sermons from the heart of Robert S. Candlish (1806-1873), considered one of the finsest preachers of Scotland. "The work before us is a 'Memorial Volume,' giving us eighteen of his sermons, with a brief biographical sketch. They deserve the name of sermons as being not mere essays, nor discussions in philosophy, nor poetic or dramatic delineations, but clear and cogent presentations of truth ; evangelic in the themes and the expositions; practical, yet with a doctrinal basis that is distinct though not obtrusive nor dogmatic; and more attractive than we had expected to find them, indeed remarkable, we think, for combining in an unusual degree the excellences of written and spoken style, so that while read deliberately with pleasure, they seem to be addressed also to hearers as by a living, earnest preacher."

This is a greatly expanded edition of a work that first appeared in 1843, but is here more than double the size of the original. One reviewer of his sermons said the following about this volume on The Atonement: "We have the higher respect for the author's ability and candor from having read some years ago his work on the extent and efficacy of the atonement, which then seemed to us the happiest attempt we had met with to reconcile the doctrine of limited atonement with the universality and sincerity of the gospel invitations. As compared with other leaders of the Church of Scotland, he has not been here so widely known through his writings as he deserved to be; yet he is certainly another proof of that country's fertility in effective preachers." - Yale Review of 1874 400 Page Volume SGCB Price: $16.95 (list price $28.00) Order with THE SERMONS OF ROBERT S.

		THE THEOLOGY AND THEOLOGIANS OF SCOTLAND: 1560-1750 James Walker This volume has been described by Dr. John MacLeod himself the author of a work Scottish theology as 'masterly work . . . In its own department a classic.' The author begins with a survey of the of the leading theologians of Scotland from John Knox, through the Covenanters to Thomas Boston and the Erskines. He assesses their contributions to the development of theological understanding and examines their views on the doctrines of predestination and providence, the atonement, the visible church and the headship of Christ. ORIGINALLY DELIVERED AS THE CUNNINGHAM LECTURES IN MARCH 1871. JAMES WALKER (1821-1891) was born at Carnwath where his father was a minister. While a student at Edinburgh he came under the influence of Dr. Thomas Chalmers. According to his mother "he became immensely more serious and earnest so that his whole family became affected by his spirit." On completion of his divinity course in 1843 he cast in his lot with the newly formed Free Church of Scotland. He received a call to his native Carnwath and was ordained and inducted there in September of that year. Walker's ministry at Carnwath was to last 33 years. In his preaching he was heart-searching and deeply spirituial and in pastoral visitation he was diligent. Like so many other places, Carnwath was visited by the Revival of 1859-60. A diligent student and a good classical scholar Walker took a special interewst in Church history. Papers on the Eastern Church were published in the 'Family Treasury.' He was the first pastor to be invited to give the Cunningham Lectures, delivered in March 1871 and which forms the content of this volume. Ill-health prevented him from revising the lectures for publication, influenced him to withdraw his name from election to the Church History Chair at the Free Church College in Glasgow and led to his retirement from his charge in 1876. He died at Edinburgh in 1891. Pre-Publication Title SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $18.00)
click for details		A BRIEF EXPOSITION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES John S. Hart "It is a simple, but an accurate synopsis of the rudiments of the federal government; so well adapted to the apprehension of youth, as to leave nothing further to be desired, in the shape of a political manual."- Chief Justice Gibson. "In this work the Constitution of the United States is examined and explained in such a manner as to make it plain and intelligible to any youth who is capable of studying the history of his country."- Judge Randall. "It ought to be adopted at once in every school district throughout the United States."- North American "As a work for the instruction of the rising generation, it cannot be too highly commended."- Neat's Gazette "Every man in this country who holds office, whether Executive, Judicial or Legislative, whether under the National Government or any of the State Governments, is bound by oath to support the Constitution of the United States. Every one of the more than two millions who are now entitled to vote, is called upon to decide questions of Constitutional law, as really and truly as is the Supreme Court of the United States. But how many of all that number have ever read the Constitution? In what proportion of our Colleges, Academies, or Common Schools is it studied? In what system of education, whether public or private, in any part of the country, is a knowledge of the Constitution of the country made a requisite for graduation, or for admission from a lower school to a higher one? Ask a number of boys at school almost any reasonable question in Geagraphy or History, and you will see dozens ready to reply without a moment's hesitation. But ask thtm what will be necessary, when they grow up, to entitle them to vote, what constitutes citizenship, what rights a citizen of one State has in another State, or any other simple and obvious question in regard to the Constitution of their country, and you will be met with a profound silence. And is not a knowledge of his immediate personal rights and duties quite as important to the young American, as to be acquainted with a long catalogue of dead kings or distant cities? The main reason why the study of the Constitution has never yet been made a branch of Common School education is believed to be an entire misapprehension in regard to the nature and difficulty of the study. There are, it is true, not a few passages in the Constitution, the proper construction of which has given rise to much discussion; and there are many nice points arising out of its more obvious provisions, requiring for their solution great natural abilities and profound legal erudition. But it is sttill true, that the great majority of its clauses are as intelligible, and as easily remembered as most of the studies which now make an essential part in every system of education. What difficulty is there in a boy's learning that a Representative is chosen for two years, while a Senator is chosen for six, that a Representative must be twenty-five years old, while a Senator must be thirty, to know what body has the power to impeach, and what the power to try impeachments, in short to understand and recollect nine out of ten of all the provisions of the Constitution? Is it one whit more difficult than to comprehend and recollect the various details of Geography and History, to give off-hand the position of Timbuctoo or the Tagus, or to know in what year Rome was founded or Csesar slain? The plan pursued in this little book is in accordance with the views here suggested. There has been no attempt to discuss knotty political questions, or to speculate upon abstract theories of government, but simply to present the Constitution itself, with such questions and answers, as might direct the attention of the learnor to its plain and obvious meaning. The Constitution provides for the duties and rights of every day life, and is written in simple language almost entirely free from technical and profes. sional expressions. Is there any reason why children capable of learning, and teachers capable of teaching History and Geogra phy, might not intelligently study and teach all its material facts and provisions, as they are here presented." - from the Author's Preface John S. Hart (1810 - 1877) was an American author and educator. His health in early youth was delicate, and his physical strength small. He completed preparatory studies at Wilkes-Barre Academy, and entered the College of New Jersey at Princeton, (now Princeton University), in 1827, and was graduated in 1830, with the highest honors of his class. During the year following his graduation, he taught, as Principal of an Academy at Natchez, Mississippi, and in 1831 returned to Princeton and entered the Theological Seminary. He spent three years there, and was regularly graduated in 1834. During the last two years of his course, he filled the position of Tutor in the college. In 1834 he was elected Adjunct Professor of Ancient Languages in Princeton College, and filled that chair two years. Professor Hart was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of New Brunswick, August 4, 1835, but having determined, after some years, to devote his life to literary and educational pursuits, his license was, at his own request, withdrawn by the Presbytery, October 19, 1842. In 1836, he purchased Edgehill School in Princeton, from Professor E. C. Wines, and resigned his Professorship in the College. He retained the charge of Edgehill School until 1842, when he was selected Principal of Central High School (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), as well as Professor of Moral, Mental and Political Science[1]. He found this institution in a state of feebleness and placed it on a solid foundation of discipline, accomplishments and popular confidence-making it a representative American institution. In 1848 he received the degree of LL.D. from the University of Miami. He continued to be Principal of Central High School until 29 October 1858[1], when he resigned in order to become Editor of the periodicals published by the American Sunday School Union, and in this connection he began the Sunday-school Times. In 1862 he was elected Principal of the New Jersey State Normal School (now The College of New Jersey at Trenton), and held that position with distinguished usefulness and success until February 1871. From 1864 to 1870 he also gave courses of lectures on English Literature in Princeton College. In 1872 he was elected Professor of Belles Lettres and English Literature in Princeton College, which chair he filled two years, returning near the end of 1874 to Philadelphia, where he resided until his death, engaged in literary pursuits. During the months preceding his last illness, he had been delivering a course of popular and instructive lectures on the works of Shakespeare. About two months before his death, he suffered a severe fall upon an icy pavement in Chestnut Street, breaking his hip-bone and inflicting internal injuries. After much severe suffering, he died in Philadelphia, March 26, 1877, at the age of sixty-eight. Prof. Hart was a man of quiet and retiring manners, yet social and sunny in his temperament, an enthusiast in the cause of education, a devoted Sabbath-school worker, of elegant culture, accurate and wide scholarship, author of many volumes, and possessing great force and earnestness of mind. But above all, he was an humble, consistent and devout Christian, always seeking, like his Master, to do good.

click for details		THE TRUTH SET US FREE Twenty Former Nuns Tell Their Stories of God's Amazing Grace Edited by Richard Bennett and Mary Hertel Vatican Council II was completed in 1965. The Roman Catholic Church appeared to have changed her position towards Biblical believers. The Council had pronounced that they were now to be seen as 'separated brethren' (although it also reaffirmed the Council of Trent, which four hundred years earlier had declared Biblical believers to be heretics). Catholics could now 'dialogue' with them, enter their churches, and go to their Bible studies. In the more than forty years that have elapsed since then, much confusion has arisen both among Catholics and among Biblical believers as to where each stands today. This volume brings the steady light of Scripture and the clear testimonies of twenty 20th century women to bear on this murky religious confusion of our times. These women became nuns in Roman Catholic convents as their finest means of serv-ing God. The testimonies are 'inside stories', intensely personal, wonderfully down-to-earth. They ask--and finally get the right answers to--some of the same questions that you yourself might ask. The solid promise of Holy God in Scripture is, 'And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye search for Me with all your heart.' This volume is modern testimony to that living promise. The book will be of avid interest to - - dedicated Roman Catholics who often do not know the realities of convent life - lapsed Catholics who have become discouraged by the practice of a religious faith which has not answered his or her inner emptiness and confusion - Evangelicals who are being drawn more closely into 'dialogue' with Roman Catho-lics, unaware of the inner workings of that huge, seemingly mysterious system Richard Bennett, born in Ireland, entered the Dominican Order in 1956, finished at the Angelicum University in Rome, Italy, in 1964. He spent twenty-one years as a Roman Catholic priest in Trinidad, West Indies. He was saved by God's grace in 1986 and formally left the Roman Catholic Church and its priesthood. Presently settled in central Texas, he is director of the Berean Beacon. Mary Hertel, born into a strong Roman Catholic family, entered the Order of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1963. She left it in 1969 and was saved by God's grace in 1989.

		MAMMON: Covetousness The Sin of the Christian Church John Harris The title which the writer has adopted for the Essay designates covetousness the sin of the Christian church. He is aware that by bringing even an ordinary evil near to the eye, and prolonging one's gaze at it, it may go on swelling and enlarging in the apprehension, till it has come to fill the whole sphere of vision, to the exclusion and temporary oblivion of other evils of superior magnitude. That covetousness is not the only evil which the Christian church has to confess, that it is only one of many evils, he is quite sensible; and he trusts that the view which he has taken of its surpassing enormity is by no means chargeable with the effect of lessening our convictions of those other evils. All the sins of the Christian church stand closely related; by action and reaction they are constantly producing and strengthening each other; and it is to its superior activity and influence in the production of those other sins that cupidity owes its bad pre-eminence. If the love of money then be the root of the evils in question, a description of its deadly nature should have the effect, not of diminishing, but augmenting our aversion to its destructive fruits. The writer feels convinced that the best mode of acquiring a clear, comprehensive, and impressive view of all the existing defects of the Christian church, as a whole, is to view them first separately and in succession ; and that he who succeeds in laying open and correcting one of these defects, has gone far toward remedying all the rest. With the sincere desire that he may be the means of inflicting if only a single blow on the root of all evil, and of thus aiding the growth of that plant " which is from above à. Full of mercy and of good fruits," he would place this Essay at the feet of Him who deigns to commend the widow's mite.

		THE REFORMED DOCTRINE OF THE ATONEMENT Loraine Boettner "The two great objectives to be accomplished by Jesus Christ in His mission to this world were, first, the removal of the curse under which mankind labored as a result of the disobedience and fall, and second, the restoration of men to the image and fellowship of God. Both of these were essential to salvation. The work of Christ in reconciling God and men we call the Atonement; and the doctrine, we believe, lies at the very heart of the Christian system. In the nature of the case we are altogether dependent on Scripture for our knowledge concerning this doctrine and can know only what God has seen fit to reveal concerning it. Human philosophy and speculation can contribute practically nothing toward its solution, and should be held in abeyance. Our present purpose is to give a systematized account of what the Scriptures teach concerning it, and to show that this fits in perfectly with the longings and aspirations of an enlightened spiritual nature." - Loraine Boettner LORAINE BOETTNER (1901-1990) was born on a farm in Linden, Missouri. He was a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary (Th.B., 1928; Th.M., 1929), where he studied Systematic Theology under Dr. C. W. Hodge. Previously he had graduated from Tarkio College, Missouri, and had taken a short course in Agriculture at the University of Missouri. He taught Bible for eight years in Pikeville College, Kentucky. While there he married in 1932. In 1933 he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1957 the degree of Doctor of Literature. He was a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church of USA. In 1937 he began working at the Library of Congress and the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

		WOMEN SPEAKING IN THE CHURCH Benjamin B. Warfield & Robert L. Dabney Two classic pieces join together to address an increasingly thorny issue facing the church. The first piece is a brief article by B.B. Warfield (1851-1921) which is an exposition of Paul's words to the Corinthians concerning women speaking in the church. He concludes with these words: "The difference in conclusions between Paul and the feminist movement of today is rooted in a fundamental difference in their points of view relatively to the constitution of the human race. To Paul, the human race is made up of families, and every several organism, the church included, is composed of families, united together by this or that bond. The relation of the sexes in the family follows it therefore into the church. To the feminist movement the human race is made up of individuals; a woman is just another individual by the side of the man; and it can see no reason for any differences in dealing with the two. And, indeed, if we can ignore the great fundamental natural difference of sex, and destroy the great fundamental social unit of the family, in the interest of individualism, there does not seem any reason why we should not wipe out the differences established by Paul between the sexes in the church. Except, of course, the authority of Paul. It all, in the end, comes back to the authority of the apostles, as founders of the church. We may like what Paul says, or we may not like it. We may be willing to do what he commands, or we may not be willing to do it. But there is no room for doubt of what he says." The second and longer piece was writtern by Robert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898) and first appeared in The Southern Presbyterian Review for October 1879. It begins with these words: "In this day innovations march with rapid strides. The fantastic suggestion of yesterday, entertained only by a few fanatics, and then only mentioned by the sober to be ridiculed, is today the audacious reform, and will be tomorrow the recognized usage. Novelties are so numerous and so wild and rash, that in even conservative minds the sensibility of wonder is exhausted and the instinct of righteous resistance fatigued. A few years ago the public preaching of women was universally condemned among all conservative denominations of Christians, and, indeed, within their bounds, was totally unknown. Now the innovation is brought face to face even with the Southern churches, and female preachers are knocking at our doors."

		BIBLE WONDERS Sermons to Childen on the Wondrous Things of Scripture Richard Newton "The world is full of wonders, if only we had eyes to see them. But there are more wonders in the Bible, and greater wonders, too, then are to be found anywhere else. There are wonders of wisdom here, and wonders of love, and wonders of power, and wonders of goodness that are perfectly surprising. But we need the help of God to enable us to see these wonders. And this is just the help David was trying to get when he offered the prayer, 'Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.' Psalm 119:18. The attempt has been made in this book to speak of a few of these wonders, in the hope that some who read it may be lead to study the Bible with more interest, and try with increasing earnestness to find out more of the wonderful things contained in it." - from the Author's Preface The "Prince of Preachers to Children" once again opens the Scriptures in a way that will both instruct and entertain everyone who reads it.

		THE COLLEGE DAYS OF CALVIN His Study of Law and Theology at Orleans, Bourges and Paris William M. Blackburn with Biographical Introduction by Dr. Joel Beeke "I know of no other books on Calvin that so easily stir the interest of the average reader as do these two works by William M. Blackburn, now happily being reprinted by Solid Ground Christian Books." - Dr. Joel R. Beeke In the Preface to this excellent volume: "The design of this little volume is to set forth the facts in the early life of John Calvin, in a manner that may interest the youth of Sabbath-schools and Bible classes. If imagination has lent a very slight tinge to a few passages, it has been permitted simply to give life to reality, and vividness to facts. There is no departure from the events and experiences in the student-life of the immortal reformer. The facts are presented substantially as they are given by his biographers, particularly, Dr. D'Aubigne, in his 'History of the Reformation in the Time of Calvin.'" "The author is persuaded that the youth of our times need to study more attentively the history of Protestantism and the lives of the Reformers, as one means of guarding them against the many great evils that are threatening the true Church of Christ. If this unpretending volume shall contribute to this end, he will hope, that certain broken hours of recreation from severer studies for the pulpit, and from the pressing duties of a pleasant pastorate, have been well employed in the service of the Divine Master, to whom an account must be rendered for all time and for every talent." William Maxwell Blackburn (1828-1898) clergyman, born in Carlisle, Indiana, 30 December 1828. He was graduated at Hanover College, Indiana, in 1850, and at Princeton theological seminary in 1854. He was pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Erie, Pennsylvania, from 1856 till 1863, and at Trenton, New Jersey, from 1854 till 1868, in which year he was called to the chair of biblical and ecclesiastical history in the Presbyterian theological seminary of the northwest at Chicago, Illinois, which he held until 1881, when he became pastor of the Central Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1884 he was called to the presidency of the territorial University of North Dakota, and in 1886 became president of Pierre University at East Pierre, Dak. He published special studies in religious history and biography and numerous story-books for the young, and has contributed to the "Princeton Review" and the "American Presbyterian Review."

		YOUNG CALVIN IN PARIS And the Little Flock that he Fed William M. Blackburn This is the powerful sequel to "The College Days of Calvin." The author, William M. Blackburn, sought to exhibit young Calvin in Paris, as a modest and devout man, performing the work of a city missionary, unhindered by his natural diffidence, and unterrified by the threatening fires of persecution flaming around him. Although written with an eye to young people, to set forth the facts in the early life of John Calvin, in a manner that would interest and inform them, it has a beautiful simplicity that makes it rivetting reading for those of any age.

click for details		THE REBEL PRINCE: Lessons from the Career of the Young Man Absalom William M. Blackburn This volume examines the tragic account of Absalom, the son of David who became David's betrayer. William M. Blackburn (1828-1898) does a masterful job setting out the biblical narrative in a way that is both informative and captivating. Blackburn originally preached this material during his exposition of 2 Samuel 13 - 19, but expanded and adapted that material for this powerful publication. Old and young alike will find page after page of godly counsel and warning drawn from the life of THE REBEL PRINCE. In the Author's Preface we are told: "The record of Absalom's life in 2 Samuel 13 - 19 is as clear and concise as if written by the court-prophet Nathan. It has no parallel to it in Chronicles, and stands alone as a graphic piece of inspired Hebrew literature. In one view it is a vivid biography of the young man Absalom, the prodigal son of the Old Testament, who perished in his sins. In another view it is a sacred tragedy, full of most striking pictures of human nature, varied with deeply laid plots, enriched by frequent changes of scene, and enlivened by a great diversity of characters. For the study of the motives, policies, principles, and characters of evil and designing men, there are few portions of Scripture more profitable. Rarely do seven chapters furnish such a group of bold actors, such a record of great crimes against God and men, and such signal divine judgments upon the wicked." "It is a striking picture of a family, deserving of close and frequent study. A father's sins are intensified in some of his children, and bring the sword into his own house. There are shown to us some of the plainest lessons upon family government, family trials, and family judgments. It is not only as a king that David is sorely afflicted, but as a father. Those who magnify his faults should justly remember his very great and very many trials. In no other part of his reign did he exhibit more wisdom, tenderness, and greatness in adversity." "It is our effort in this unpretending volume to draw some useful lessons for our guidance in the family, in society, in the church, and in the national government. We have also kept in view the gospel light afforded by these seven chapters, for in the depths of David's heart we see an illustration of the boundless love of God, and in his sorrows he stands as a type of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was the favour which the original lectures received from those who heard them, that prompted the author to commit them to the press, and the volume is now laid at the feet of Him who sits upon David's throne, for only with His blessing can it be of any service in securing a further allegiance to the King of kings."

Blackburn "No other reformer struck out a more original and independent course than Ulrich Zwingli (1483-1531). No other man attempted to be, at the same time, a preacher, author, statesman, military patriot and reformer. Why he gave such varied direction to his noble energies, and how well he succeeded in his efforts, it is partly the design of the present volume to show. His personal history is full of interesting incidents; his character rich in admirable qualitites; his public life conveys a lesson upon the mingling of religion and politics which it may be well to ponder in later times. The author has endeavoured to set forth the man and his friends as they grew in piety and laboured together in studying the Word of God, teaching and preaching the truth, and restoring the Church to the foundation of Christ and his Apostles. If the good seed of divine truth shall be found in the sheaves of this gleaning, and there be a soil for it in the reader's heart, the Lord may bless the volume now committed to his care." -from the Author's Preface PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE SGCB Price: $13.95 (list price $24.00) Order with THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION OF YOUTH by Zwingli SGCB Price: $18.95 (list price $35.00)

Bennett 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 American Tract Society has not done amiss in giving to the public, in a very excellent form, "Six Boys: A Mother's Story." It is well conceived, and, in general, has a remarkable naturalness about it. The conversations are home-like. The 'heroic' and the 'tender' sentiments are less prominent than in most books of this class. Many a mother, widowed or not, will find useful and suggestive experiences in this very readable volume. In some particulars they will be reminded of "Stepping Heavenward" which is saying a good deal in commendation of this work." - The Congregational Quarterly 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 EARLY JULY 2009.

		THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRESS AND SUPPRESSION OF THE REFORMATION IN ITALY Thomas M'Crie THOMAS M'CRIE (1772-1835), Scottish historian and divine, was born at Duns in Berwickshire in November 1772. He studied in Edinburgh University, and in 1796 he was ordained minister of the Second Associate Congregation, Edinburgh In 1806, however, with some others M'Crie seceded from the general associate synod, and formed the constitutional associate presbytery, afterwards merged in the original seceders. He was consequently deposed by the associate synod, and his congregation withdrew with him and built another place of worship in which he officiated until his death. At the solicitation of his friend Andrew Thomson, M'Crie became a contributor to The Edinburgh Christian Instructor, and in 1817 he subjected some of Sir W. Scott's works to a criticism which took the form of a vindication of the Covenanters. Preserving the continuity of his historical studies, he followed up his first work with The Life of Andrew Melville (1819). In 1827 he published a History of the Progress and Suppression of the Reformation in Italy, and in 1829 a History of the Progress and Suppression of the Reformation in Spain. His latest literary undertaking was a life of John Calvin. Only three chapters were completed when the writer died on the 5th of August 1835, leaving four sons and one daughter. "Towards the close of the author's life appeared THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRESS AND SUPPRESSION OF THE REFORMATION IN ITALY, in which the fruits of his recondite investigations are rendered subservient to the cause of civil and religious freedom on the Continent.

		LEAVES FROM TREE OF LIFE Sermons for Children Richard Newton "This book has much to say about healing. And to souls diseased by sin, as ours are, this is a matter of the greatest importance. We see its importance when we remember that one of the sweet names by which our blessed Savior is spoken of in the Old Testament is JEHOVAH-ROPHI, or 'The Lord who healeth.' The chief means that He makes use of in healing souls is the truth about Jesus, of which the Bible tells us. 'He sent His word, and healed them,' says David. It is more than 20 years ago since the writer of this book first engaged in the work of preaching to children, and making books of sermons. He was first led to do this by thinking on the words of Jesus to Peter, 'Lovest Thou me? Feed my lambs.' This is the twelfth volume he has been permitted to publish. This new volume is now sent forth as an expression of the writer's cordial love to the lambs of Jesus everywhere." - from the Author's Preface Subjects covered are as follows: THE BIBLE COMPARED TO A TREE OF LIFE THE LESSON OF OBEDIENCE THE LEAF FOR CURING LYING THE LEAF FOR CURING COVETOUSNESS THE LESSON OF PATIENCE THE LEAF FOR HEALING IDLENESS THE LEAF FOR CURING PRIDE THE LEAF FOR HEALING THE EVIL CONSCIENCE THE LEAF FOR CURING QUARRELS THE LESSON OF FAITHFULNESS PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE SGCB Price: $9.95 (list price $16.00) Order with PEBBLES FROM THE BROOK SGCB Price: $20.00 (list price $39.00)

I do not mean men with huge bodies, four or five times larger than common-sized men; but I mean great sins of different kinds, which may well be called giants. I want now to speak about five giants that we should all unite trying to fight against. One of these is a good way off from us; but the rest are very near us.

click for details		TO HAVE AND TO HOLD The Christian Minister's Affectionate Advice to a Married Couple James Bean and Henry Venn The American Tract Society published this small work in 1820 which was intended to be given as a gift to the newly married and to older married couples as well. It contains a wealth of "affectionate advice" from the heart of a Christian minister who spent his life seeking to "present every man (and woman) complete in Christ." This small book also includes a beautiful letter from the pen and heart of Rev. Henry Venn, author of "The Complete Duty of Man" which he wrote in 1777 to his newly married cousin. This ten page letter demonstrates the seriousness with which the marriage union was treated in a former day. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD would make the perfect gift for every married couple, but especially those who are newlyweds, or who are considering and/or pursuing marriage. " Bean's 'Advice to a new -married couple;' is a work, which has obtained great celebrity in Great Britain, and which deserves a place in the library of every christian family. The book is, indeed, but little known on this side of the water; but the extract on Evander and Theodosia (from Chapter Five) will give no unfavourable impression of its merits, both as it regards the sentiments it contains, and the manner in which those sentiments are delivered. We cannot too earnestly recommend the present performance to the perusal of every one who wishes to form a just estimate of the duties belonging to the married state." - The Missionary Magazine, by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the USA in 1806 "This useful little work, from the pen of a highly respectable English clergyman, has passed through six editions in England, and one large edition in this country. This second American edition is respectfully recommended to the clergy of all denominations, as a valuable and unexceptionable present to young heads of families." - Advertisement in front of this American edition from 1824 PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE SGCB Price: $6.50 (list price $11.00) Order Ten Copies (50% Off) SGCB Price: $55.00 (list price $109.90) Add a Copy or Copies of SECRETS OF HAPPY HOME LIFE SGCB Price: $2.00 (list price $5.00) ENTER QTY DESIRED AND UPDATE ORDER

		CHILDREN'S TEMPTATIONS George Wagner These words of a Pastor to the " lambs" of his flock will have a peculiar significance for those to whom he ministered with such affectionate interest; for whilst he was considering their "temptations" amid much weakness and weariness in a distant land, he was called away to his eternal "rest," so that to these "little ones," most especially, he " being dead yet speaketh."

click for details		PRINCETON SERMONS Outlines of Discourses Doctrinal and Practical Charles Hodge with Foreword by John Murray First published in 1879, the year after Charles Hodge's death, this volume was one of Banner of Truth's first reprints in 1958. It was last reprinted nearly 30 years ago, and deserves once again to be able to bless the hearts and minds of God's people throughout the world. "This volume of sermons and semon briefs should be especiallly interesting to Southern Baptists. Charles Hodge was the most influential professor on the mind and theological formulation of James P. Boyce. Boyce's Sermons also reflect the energetic doctrinal content that we find in these sermons by Hodge." - Tom J. Nettles According to John Murray, "These are but outlines of addresses given on Sabbath afternoons to the students at Princeton Seminary. But they offer Hodge's mature thought on a great many subjects and they breathe the warmth of devotional fervor. Here is a fund of succinct definition on the great themes of theology as they are related to the most practical concerns of the Christian and of the pastor." In the words of his son A.A. Hodge, "This volume is now publsihed, not only because it will afford a reminiscience of past sacred scenes, grateful to his surviving pupils, but chiefly because it is believed that in their present form they will be widely useful. They present in this analytic form an amount and quality of homiletical example and suggestion probably not surpassed in the same number of pages in the English language."

		RICHES OF DIVINE GRACE Expository Sermons from a Reformed Perspective Louis Berkhof with Introduction by Geoff Thomas Louis Berkhof (1873-1957) stated in his Preface, "The sermons contained in this volume are rather strictly expository, and in that respect differ from most of the books of sermons now offered in this country. They also stress certain particular doctrinal truths, which are not generally emphasized in much of the preaching of our day, though they are of the greatest importance." This volume comes with a New Biographical Introduction by Geoff Thomas. Sermons include the following: THE HOMEWARD WAY ( John 14:6) THE SURE PROMISES OF GOD (2 Corinthians 1:20) HEIRS OF THE COVENANT (Galatians 3:29) PROFITABLE INSTRUCTION (Isaiah 48:17,18) ENTRANCE INTO THE KINGDOM (Matthew 7:21) and five more.

		CALVIN AND THE REFORMATION Four Studies by Bavinck, Doumergue, Lang & Warfield Edited by William Park Armstrong What were Calvin's views on asceticism, natural law, common grace and the knowledge of God? No more definitive discussion of these topics by better qualified Calvin scholars can be found than in these four essays, originally prepared for The Princeton Theological Review in 1909, the 400th anniversary of the Genevan Reformer's birth. Doumergue's article, translated from French by Joseph H. Dulles, deals with Calvin's view of asceticism; Lang's article, translated from the German by J. Gresham Machen, analyzes Calvin's doctrine of natural law; Bavinck's article, translated from Dutch by Geerhardus Vos, discusses Calvin's understanding of common grace; and Warfield's wonderful 84 page article, the longest in the book, analyzes Calvin's teaching on the knowledge of God. All four authors were professors, Emile Doumergue (1844-1937) on the Free Theological Faculty of Montauban; August Lang (1867-1945) at the University of Halle-Wittenburg; Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) at the Free University of Amsterdam; and Benjamin B. Warfield (1851-1921) at Princeton Theological Seminary. These articles were first published in book form in 1909. "Of the making of books there is no end (Eccl 12:12). The reality of this axiom can sometimes cause us to forget books that were made before we were born. As we approach the five-hundredth anniversary of Calvin's birth, however, it is worth taking a moment to appreciate this collection published a century ago in honor of the four-hundredth anniversary of Calvin's birth. These essays remain valuable for the breadth and depth of their learning. Scholars, students, and pastors will benefit from the careful scholarship in these essays." - Dr. R. Scott Clark "As we approach the 500th anniversary of the birth of the French Reformer John Calvin, it is helpful to look back and see how previous historians and theologians viewed this remarkable man. And what better place to look than these four essays originally prepared for the 400th anniversary of Calvin's birth. They not only give us an excellent perspective on Calvin but also help us appreciate how deep an impact Calvin's work and writing have had in the history of the Church." - Dr. Michael Haykin 40% Off Until in Print SGCB Price: $11.95 (list price $20.00) PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE EXPECTED IN LATE OCTOBER
		BIBLE BLESSINGS Lessons for Children on the Rich Blessings in the Bible Richard Newton "In preparing this little volume I feel as if I had been doing very much the same thing that was done by the spies that Moses sent into the promised land. I have been walking, as it were, through the pleasant fields of the Bible, and gathering specimens of its blessings. The Bible is a book of blessings. It is intended to make people happy in this life, as well as in the life to come. It would take, not one book merely, but a library of books, to tell all the blessings spoken of in the Bible. If the few samples of them here presented shall lead any one who reads this book to love the Bible more, and to seek a larger share in its rich blessings, I shall feel abundantly rewarded for the labor bestowed upon it." - from the Author's Preface Richard Newton was called "The Prince of Preachers to the young" by no less than Charles H. Spurgeon. Solid Ground Christian Books is commited to reprinting the books of this brilliant and humble servant of Jesus Christ who sought to preach one sermon each month to the children of his flock. Every month for years over 500 children sat at his feet as he opened the Scriptures to them. We are honored to bring these great volumes back into print!

click for details		HORAE HOMILETICAE: EXPOSITORY OUTLINES ON THE ENTIRE BIBLE Charles Simeon OUR PLAN - We have decided to print two volumes at a time over the next few years until we have completed the entire set. We will begin with the first two volumes. "I have loved Charles Simeon's 'Expository Outlines' since I began to prapare sermons in my studies for the gospel ministry. As soon as I could, I acquired a set and I have consulted them almost weekly for over thirty years. Simeon is always suggestive and practical, whatever the passage. He opens up the text and applies it. He never wanders off the track down the rabbit trails of story-telling or speculation. Christ is always the center of his thought and the destination of his discourses. His outlines can still show young preachers the way to sound proclamation of Bible truth and Gospel grace. It would be wonderful to see these once more available to the Christian public." -Gordon Keddie, Pastor and Author "[Horae Homileticae] is the best place to go for researching Simeon's theology. You can find his views on almost every key text in the Bible. What Simeon experienced in the word was remarkable. And it is so utterly different from the counsel that we receive today that it is worth looking at." - John Piper "If you have the money to do this project, and enough orders to warrant it, I think it would be a monumental achievement for you, and a wonderful gift to the church!" - Dr. Don Kistler These expository outlines (or 'skeletons') are not a verse-by-verse explanation of the English Bible. Rather, they are a chapter-by-chapter study with explanations of the most important and instructive verses in each chapter. SimeonÆs aim with this commentary is 'Instruction relative to the Composition of Sermons.' To this end, his exposition of the Scriptures is designed to maintain a focus on the more general aspects of a passage over and above possible treatments of particulars. His test for a sermon, as he teaches in Horae Homileticae, is threefold: does it humble the sinner, exalt the Saviour and promote holiness? "If Wilberforce is the most famous evangelical layman in the Church of England, then Simeon is the most famous evangelical clergyman." - Who's Who in Christian History Charles Simeon (1759 - 1836), Anglican clergyman and evangelical leader, was born in Reading and educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge. At Cambridge, the benefice of Holy Trinity Church became vacant and Simeon petitioned for and was appointed to the position. There, Simeon influenced thirteen to fourteen generations of students over the course of his fifty-four year ministry. "[Simeon's] authority and influence extended from Cambridge to the most remote corners of England, his real sway in the Church was far greater than that of any primate." -Thomas Macaulay Volumes One & Two: Genesis - Joshua, Sermons 1 - 260 SGCB Price: $59.95 (list price $110.00) Volume One - 683 Pages; Volume Two - 627 Pages 65% Discount SGCB Price: $350.00 (list price $1,000.00) OUR GOAL IS TO PUBLISH BY DECEMBER 2012

Thank you, Jim Harrison, for your work on this study guide." - Dr. Sam Waldron, Academic Dean of the Midwest Center for Theological Studies Pastor James Harrison has labored diligently to provide a tool that will help serious students gain the most possible benefit from studying this outstanding volume. In his own words, "RAA is a text which will yield wonderful and valuable treasures to one who is willing to invest time and intellectual sweat in the endeavor. This study guide has been created specifically for those who are willing so to labor. The author has endeavored to add nothing to Murray's original work. Rather, this guide is to be used as a tool to direct and focus one's study of RAA. The study guide follows the outline of the book, and includes page references from the William B.

		THE GLORY OF THE MINISTRY Paul's Exultation in Preaching An Exegetical and Expository Treatise on 2 Corinthians 2:12 - 6:10 A.T. Robertson "The demand for ministers of the Gospel today is just the same as it was in the first century. Nor has preaching lost its power over the hearts of men ... no printed page can permanently supply the place of the man who has looked into the face of sinful men and presses home with burning words the sense of sin and the redemption in Jesus Christ." - Robertson In this volume, an exposition of 2 Coritnhians 2:12 - 6:10, Robertson kindles a fire for the preacher. The apostle Paul's love for preaching and apology for his task of proclamation is related by Robertson to the demands of preaching today. This book has long inspired new preachers and rekindled the enthusiasm of experienced pastors. It will continue to motivate a new generation of preachers, missionaries and evangelists. A.T. Robertson - (1863-1934), New Testament scholar Archibald Thomas Robertson was born near Chatham, Virginia, but grew up on a farm in North Carolina. In 1876, he was baptized and began his lifelong loyalty to the Southern Baptist Church. After graduating from Wake Forest College, he enrolled in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky and received the Th.M. in 1888. In 1892 Robertson was appointed professor at Southern Baptist and remained in that post until a day in 1934 when he dismissed his class early and went home and died of a stroke. Robertsonü's books are still consulted today, particularly his Word Pictures in the New Testament and his landmark volume A Grammar of the Greek New Testament in Light of Historical Research. In all, he published forty-five books, several of which are still in print today. Robertson helped found the Baptist World Alliance in 1900. He was an important Southern Baptist and a well-respected scholar in his day. As the son-in-law of famous preacher John Broadus (Robertsonü's grave lies in the shadow of Broadus), Robertson sought to equip his students with the proper tools for good preaching.

		PARK STREET LECTURES ON THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE Edward Dorr Griffin "Here (in Boston) on the Sabbath evenings, in the winter of 1812 and 1813, he delivered his Park Street Lectures. They were preached to crowded audiences from all classes of the community; and doubtless contributed to that impression of truth in Boston, from which has been witnessed such an amount of good. These lectures have been given to the world in numerous editions from the press. They constitute one of the best compends of Christian doctrine that have appeared in any country or age. They are a work of standard merit. It is no disparagement to the other productions of the author, to say, that the Park Street Lectures take the lead of them all. In future times they will probably be the principal basis of the author's reputation as a theological writer. For a clear and convincing exhibition of the doctrines of grace, and for powerful argumentation, they have few equals in our language. Let every student in theology, and every young minister, who would be a good divine or preacher, make himself familiar with these Lectures." -taken from "Memoir of Edward Dorr Griffin by Rev. Ansel Nash GRIFFIN, Edward Dorr, clergyman, born in East Haddam, Connecticut, 6 January 1770; died in Newark, New Jersey, 8 November. 1837. He was graduated at Yale in 1790, and studied theology under Jonathan Edwards, of New Haven, who was subsequently president of Union College. He was licensed as a preacher in October, 1792, and in January, 1793, began his ministerial work at New Salem, Connecticut In June, 1795, Mr. Griffin was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at New Hartford, and afterward held pastorates at Newark, New Jersey, and Boston, Massachusetts. Union College gave him the degree of D. D, in 1808, and he became professor of rhetoric in the recently established Andover theological seminary, 21 June, 1809, which chair he filled until 1811. In 1821 he was chosen president of Williams, and remained there till 1836. He was an eloquent and popular preacher, and published " Lectures delivered in Park Street Church, Boston " (Boston, 1813), and "Sixty Sermons on Practical Subjects " (New York, 1844). A selection from his works, with a memoir of the author by Reverend William B. Sprague, D. D., was published after his death (2 vols.. 1839). See also " Recollections of Reverend E. D.

		THE NEGLECTED BIBLE and SIXTEEN SHORT SERMONS The Incredible Power of God's Word Ichabod Spencer & The American Tract Society The first article is entitled The Neglected Bible which was written by Ichabod Spencer (1798-1854) who served as a pastor in two churches during his lifetime. The incident recorded in this booklet took place while he was serving a church in Northampton, MA. Following this ministry he was called to a church planting effort in Brooklyn, NY where he remained for the rest of his life. The Neglected Bible is taken from his best-selling book entitled A Pastor's Sketches: Conversations with Anxious Souls Concerning the Way of Salvation. This book contains over seventy-five accounts of Spencer's personal ministry to troubled souls under his care. These are authentic dialogues with people who needed guidance in spiritual matters. They are timeless snapshots that allow one to enter into the counseling chamber and learn how to speak to men and women, young and old alike, about the issues of eternity. Sixteen Short Sermons is the second piece that makes up this life-changing booklet. It was written by an unknown clergyman in England, and was published by The American Tract Society in the early 19th century. It is mentioned several times in The Neglected Bible and was used by God to touch and change lives wherever it went. It contains, as the title suggests, sixteen one page sermons on the central themes of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. SIXTEEN SHORT SERMONS is one of the best Gospel Tracts ever written. Spencer's article entitled THE NEGLECTED BIBLE and the Tract Society's Gospel Tract are here brought together for the very first time. They belong together! "Ernest Reisinger would talk of the relationship of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Pilgrim's Progress. You find the doctrines stated so richly in the Confession but lived out in personalities, debates, trials and victories in Bunyan's great work. That is like the relationship between Charles Hodge and his Systematic Theology and his great contemporary Ichabod Spencer and his Pastor's Sketches. The great truths of historic Christianity are spelled out with lucidity and power by Hodge but to see them applied in evangelizing the lost and strengthening the weak Christian and distinguishing between the weak believer and the false professor there is no one in 19th century America who did it more movingly than Spencer. He makes high theology accessible and fills it with pathos." - Geoff Thomas 50% Off - Pre-Publication Price SGCB Price: $2.50 (list price $5.00) Order in Ten Packs - 55% Off SGCB Price: $22.50 (list price $50.00) ENTER THE QUANTITY OF TEN PACKS - (Update Qty) Order 100 copies at more than 60% Off SGCB Price: $195.00 (list price $500.00) ENTER THE QUANTITY OF TEN PACKS - (Update Qty) Order a Case of 280 for 70% Off SGCB Price: $420.00 (list price $1,400.00)

		THE FIFTY YEARS' STRUGGLE OF THE SCOTTISH COVENANTERS 1638-1688 James Dodds A very rare gem first written in 1860 on the Fifty Years from 1638-1688 in which the Scottish Covenanters experienced conflict and persecution that is hard for us to fathom. Dodds first delivered these 12 chapters as Lectures in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and several other large towns throughout the UK. They were so well received that he was urged to put them into print. Some of the PRESS NOTICES at that time were as follows: "This is an excellent book, written in a large-hearted, earnest, pious and thoroughly manly spirit. The style is forcible, graphic, and robust." -The Spectator "Mr. Dodds desires to represent the characters of the heroes of this struggle prominently in the struggle itself, and these he draws with a fervent admiration that commands our sympathy. The energy and earnestness of the writer have the contagious effect always wrought by sincerity of purpose." - The Globe "Everyone who has had the pleasure of hearing these discourses must hail their issue with much pleasure and satisfaction." -Glasgow Courier "The story of mingled suffering, heroism, and blood, is told with fidelity and force; and those who take up the work will find it to be most reliable and satisfactory." -Glasgow Citizen PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE SGCB Price: $17.50 (list price $30.00)
		MONDAY MUSINGS Devout Meditations from the Heart of a Parish Minister Roger Salter For more than 20 years Rev. Roger Salter has been writing a weekly article for the people of his congreagation. These devout meditations have been written on Mondays at the beginning of a new work week and the day following the Sabbath. These "Monday Musings" have been a labor of love and have been welcomed by all who read them. In these meditations you will find both sound doctrine and rich experience. A thorough-going Calvinist within the Anglican communion, Salter displays a boldness and frankness which is refreshing. He has a burden for his own communion, but also a vision that reaches out to all who in every place call upon that Name above every name. Subsidiary to the preaching of the Word for its own sake, Roger Salter entertains the passionate hope that the Anglican Communion will wholeheartedly return to its foundation in Scripture and once again boldly confess its Reformational heritage without reservation or compromise. The Reformation of the 16th century, and the Great Awakening of the 18th century, are the high-water marks of Anglican history and inspire the plea that God will mightily use the Anglican tradition in the cause of the gospel in the not too distant future. May this sector of the People of God be instrumental in revival and reform. ROGER SALTER has been the Rector of St Matthews, Vestavia Hills, Alabama since 1994. Born in Australia, Roger moved to the UK in 1970 and began training for the Anglican ministry at Trinity Theological College, Bristol in 1975. Following ordination at Bristol Cathedral in 1979, he served in parishes of the Church of England in south Bristol; Swindon, Wiltshire; and the Isle of Wight in the diocese of Portsmouth.

Farshad Azadi (the last name is a pen name which means FREEDOM) is a courageous young man who desires to tell the truth about Islam and the dictatorial government of his country of Iran. Our best-selling title YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE: Thoughts on Immigration, Islam & Freedom has sought to alert people all over the world about the true nature of Islam and the real danger it poses to freedom-loving westerners. In this book, a convert from Islam tells his story in such a way that everyone who reads will see that David Dykstra did not exaggerate in his trumpet-like warning. Our dear brother Fashad gives all the glory to God who opened the gates of an Iranian prison and then opened the heart of a young disillusioned Iranian. Here is the amazing grace of God in action toward one lost sinner. Here is encouragement to preach the Word and to reach out in Gospel-love to the Muslims in our country who are trapped in a religion of darkness and terror. NOT YET AVAILABLE!

Although nearly 8 years have passed since these vicious attacks the messages delivered are of vital importance to all who love freedom. WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN TO THINK ABOUT WAR? CAN A CHRISTIAN SERVE CHRIST WHILE SERVING IN THE MILITARY? WHEN IS A NATION JUSTIFIED IN TAKING UP ARMS? DID THE LORD JESUS REQUIRE HIS DISCIPLES TO BE PACIFISTS? Dykstra seeks to answer these and many more questions in this timely booklet.

		THE LEADING & SEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Benjamin B. Warfield "These sermons from Warfield show the genuine stamp of Reformed experiential piety that rested on the great 19th-century Princeton theologians. These sermons on the leading and sealing of the Spirit are worthy of standing alone in this new booklet. Would you like guidance in learning how to live more closely to Christ, how to walk more by faith through the Spirit, and how to wrestle at the throne of grace? Read this booklet prayerfully, both for clarity of mind and warmth of soul with regard to the person and ministry of the blessed Spirit. Let Warfield be your spiritual mentor in the great things of God." - Dr. Joel Beeke "Much of our contemporary interest in the Spirit seems to miss the real point of his coming and the central blessings of his ministry. Here Warfield not only redresses that balance; he gives mature instruction, wonderful insight, and, at times, breathtakingly beautiful exposition. These are pages to ponder and treasure." - Dr. Sinclair Ferguson "Some have characterized the 19th century Princeton theology as too rationalistic and void of reformed spirituality. Of course, the charge is untrue. This little work by Warfield demonstrates that Princeton not only was a champion of evangelical and reformed apologetics but the heir and conservator of a biblical, informed, and experiential doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Gratitude to Solid Ground for conceiving this project." - Dr. Tom Nettles We hope to have this available by June 2008.

		PEBBLES FROM THE BROOK Sermons to Children Fighting the Good Fight of Faith Richard Newton "We all have giants to fight. Every form of sin is such a giant. We can only succeed in this warfare by following David's example. The brook, to which we must go for our pebbles, is the word of God. Every portion of truth from this word is a pebble for our use in this warfare. When Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, went forth into the wilderness, to be tempted of Satan, he was fighting the great father of all the giants.

It only presents a few flowers, gathered as specimens from God's great garden. These sermons have cost me more labor than any I have yet published for the young. I trust, however, they may be of service in helping the young to 'look through nature up to nature's God,' and in showing them that the God who speaks so lovingly to us in the Bible is the same God whose wisdom, power and goodness are so wonderfully displayed in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, mountains, seas, rivers, trees, flowers, and other glorioius works around us." - from the Author's Preface HOW GOD'S WORKS PRAISE HIM - Psalm 145:10 HOW THE SUN PRAISES GOD - Psalm 148:3 HOW THE MOON PRAISES GOD - Psalm 148:3 HOW THE STARS PRAISE GOD - Psalm 148:3 HOW THE STARS PRAISE GOD - Psalm 148:3 HOW THE LIGHT PRAISES GOD - Psalm 148:3 HOW THE AIR PRAISES GOD - Psalm 150:1 HOW THE CLOUDS PRAISE GOD - Exodus 16:10 HOW THE TREES PRAISE GOD - Isaiah 55:12 HOW THE FLOWERS PRAISE GOD - Matthew 6:28 "These volumes abound in religious instruction suitable to young persons, and are presented in a form excellently calculated to engage attention." - The Bookseller "These bright sermons, studded with anecdote, will gain a loving hearing from the little people." - British Messenger "Ministers, Sabbath-school teachers, and those who address children's churches, will find much material to help them in the difficult work of presenting religious truth in a form attractive to the young." - United Presbyterian Record PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE SGCB Price: $10.95 (list price $17.00) Order with BIBLE WONDERS for 50% Off SGCB Price: $19.95 (list price $40.00)

		IMMANUEL: The Mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God Archbishop James Ussher with Introduction by Michael Haykin This classic work on the Incarnation is filled with Scripture, and written with a simple, passionate love for the Lord Jesus Christ. There is nothing quite like this treatment of the glorious arrival of our Lord in human flesh. All who read this will find themselves led to worship the Savior of sinners. "In a day when the Incarnation has been reduced to a myth, even in the practical life of many Christians, Ussher's rich, full exposition of the divine truth of 'Immanuel, God with us,' is tremendously refreshing. A great antidote to the shallow sentimentality prevalent today." -Dr. James R. White, author of PULPIT CRIMES PRE-PUBLICATION TITLE SGCB Price: $7.50 (list price $11.99)
		ELIJAH OF THE ALPS The Story of William Farel the Swiss Reformer William M. Blackburn William Farel (1489-1565) was a French evangelist, and a founder of the Reformed Church in the cantons of NeuchGtel, Berne and Geneva, and the Canton of Vaud Switzerland. He is most often remembered for having persuaded John Calvin to remain in Geneva in 1536, and for persuading him to return there in 1541, after their expulsion in 1538. Together with Calvin, Farel worked to train missionary preachers who spread the Protestant cause to other countries, and especially to France. Farel was a fiery preacher and an energetic critic of the Roman Catholic Church. In the earliest years of the Reformation in France, he was a pupil of the pro-reform Catholic priest, Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples. While working with Lefevre in Meaux, he came under the influence of Lutheran ideas and became an avid promoter of them. He was forced to flee to Switzerland because of controversy that was aroused by his writings against the use of images in Christian worship. The opposition of the bishop forced him to leave Geneva in 1532, but he returned in 1533 to lead a public disputation in favor of the Reformation. The people declared in favor of Farel and his colleagues, and in 1535 the town council formally proclaimed the adoption of the Reformation. Farel entreated Calvin to assist in the organization of the new Protestant republic. The two men drew up a statement of doctrine and immediately instituted widespread reform of church practices. These measures were too sudden and too strict to be generally accepted, and Calvin and Farel were forced to leave Geneva in 1538. Farel went to Basel and then to NeuchGtel, where he worked unceasingly for the return of Calvin to Geneva, which he achieved in 1541. Throughout his life he remained a confidant and consultant of Calvin Interesting to note that as Calvin's friend, Farel was a promoter of Lutheran ideas in his youth. Today Calvinism and Lutheranism are two complete separate denominations, but Farel's relationship with both would show they had more in common than what is shown today.

		A COMMENTARY ON REVELATION James Durham SORRY, WE HAVE NO COPIES LEFT AT $49.95!! COVENANTER minister and author, "Durham had a high reputation for great piety, great prudence and great learning", says the Dictionary of Scottish Church History & Theology. "A very candid and searching preacher, who in an instant was in the inmost corners of your bosoms, though with the utmost caution and meekness, without giving any of his hearers the smallest ground to fret and repine at his freedom in dealing with them." Charles H. Spurgeon, in his Commenting & Commentaries says, "After all that has been written, it would not be easy to find a more sensible and instructive work than this old- fashioned exposition - the mystery of the gospel fills it with sweet savour." John Carstairs comments that the judicious reader "will count the author an interpreter, one among a thousand." Joel Beeke, in his book "MEET THE PURITANS" writes the following: "A bonus in this commentary is Durham's writing on a variety of 'Questions and Controversies.' For example, his explanation on the call to the ministry (pp. 66-83) is one of the clearest ever written on this often misunderstood subject. These excurses, inserted at Durham's request, comprise nearly one-fourth of the commentary." Out of print for much too long, this reprint has been re-typeset from the rare and expensive first edition done in 1658. Spelling has been modernized, and it contains an Introduction by Dr. David C. Lachman. Make room on your bookshelf for Durham's Commentary on Revelation! Experience this faithful exposition that makes men wise unto the truth of the Scriptures.

		THE OFFICE AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT James Buchanan James Buchanan was born in 1804. He held several pastorates before becoming Professor Apologetics and later of Systematic Theology at the Free Church College in Edinburgh. He attained great fame as a preacher, his manner in the pulpit being marked by sustained clarity of thought and eloquent evangelical fervour. The most experimental of Buchanan's theological works is the one from which this article is taken, The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit, which was first published in 1843 and then republished by the Banner of Truth Trust in 1966. "We find in Dr. James Buchanan's 'The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit,' and in Dr. George Smeaton's 'The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit,' two treatises covering the whole ground; the one in a more practical, the other in a more didactic spirit; and both in a manner worthy of the best traditions of our Puritan fathers." - B.B.
