		RICHARD FURMAN: Life and Legacy James A. Rogers As a traveling evangelist, advocate of religious freedom, leader of the patriot cause, Charleston minister, and pioneer educator, Richard Furman became an important figure in American religious history and a potent political force in South Carolina. After his conversion in 1770 Furman devoted himself to Bible study and preaching. In 1774 he was ordained into the Baptist ministry. While he volunteered to fight in the American Revolution, South Carolina's leaders valued him more as a preacher. It was said that Lord Cornwallis feared Furman's prayers more than the armies of Francis Marion and Thomas Sumter. After the revolution, as a Baptist minister in Charleston, Furman began laying the foundation for an organized program of Baptist education and missions in the South and throughout the United States. By 1814, when he was elected president of the first Triennial Convention of American Baptists, he was perhaps the most influential Baptist leader in America. James A. Rogers was editor emeritus of the Florence, South Carolina, Morning News, a paper he served with distinction since 1939. He graduated from Furman University in 1927, and held an honorary doctorate from his alma mater as well as from Francis Marion College, the College of Charleston, and Lander College. He also published other works of regional history, including Theodosia and Other Pee Dee Sketches and Ebenezer, The Story of a Church.

		SEND THE LIGHT: The Letters of Lottie Moon Lottie Moon, edited by Keith Harper Among Southern Baptists no name commands more respect than Charlotte Digges "Lottie" Moon. Her self-sacrificing spirit, gritty determination, and commitment to bring Christianity to China have been legendary within denominational ranks for well over a century. Indeed, many know of her work, but few know of her life. Send the Light: Letters from Lottie Moon is a collection of letters written by the most beloved of all Southern Baptist missionaries. These letters offer a rare glimpse into the daily routine of a woman who challenged nearly every missionary preconception that Baptists cherished at the turn of the century. She faced wars, anti-American animosity, and cultural alienation with a quiet dignity and faith that inspired her fellow missionaries and eventually won the hearts of her Chinese neighbors. She urged her denomination to support their missionary enterprises with the same type of zeal that motivated her. Moreover, Lottie Moon was never bashful about chiding, even scolding them when she thought they were not doing enough to support missions. Beyond her numerous admonitions to Southern Baptists in general and the Foreign Mission Board in particular, Moon's personal correspondence captures a sensitive, caring woman who loved children and valued education. Always one who maintained deep family roots, these letters offer an intimate look into her desire for her family members to live happy, productive lives. They also reveal a woman whose sober, common sense approach to life was tempered by a subtle, often unexpected, sense of humor. All told, Send the Light reintroduces the world to a devoted missionary who forever changed the way Southern Baptists viewed missionaries. Keith Harper earned a Ph.D. in American History at the University of Kentucky. He currently teaches Church History and Baptist History at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. His previous books include Then and Now: A Compilation and Celebration of Fifty Years at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (co-authored with Steven A. McKinion) and The Quality of Mercy: Southern Baptists and Social Christianity, 1890-1920, which was nominated for the Francis B. Simkins Award in 1996.

Broadus' masterful treatise on "The Preparation and Delivery of Sermons" updated in 1897 by his colleague, Edwin Charles Dargan. Originally written in 1870, this book became the standard text-book for more than a generation, passing through 22 editions in the US alone. It was used as a text in the United Kingdom, Japan, China and Brazil in the 19th century. It has been updated twice in the 20th century, but these updates, in many ways, were unfaithful to Broadus' original work. There is nothing like "The Dargan Edition" of Broadus. This paperback volume is nearly 600 pages in length. 50% Until July 31st SGCB Price: $17.50 (list price $35.00)
		A GENTLEMAN & A SCHOLAR: Memoir of James Petigru Boyce John A. Broadus "The Memoir of James P. Boyce by his loyal friend and colleague, John Broadus, contains a wealth of wisdom, practical theology and testimonies of God's providence in the life of one of prime shapers of early Southern Baptist life and thought. This book provides a wonderful portrait of a denominational statesman, pastor, theologian and educator." - Tom Ascol "The term 'graceful' in its most basic sense of 'being full of grace' well applies to the life of James Petigru Boyce. God's grace gave him rich resources of theological wisdom as well as a winsome personality. These led to his becoming a key leader among the Southern Baptists, one who inspired others to embrace his deeply-held God-glorifying goals. As such, his was a life that profoundly shaped this Baptist community in the late nineteenth century and still speaks powerfully today of the importance and impact of a Christian life lived for the glory of Christ." - Michael A G Haykin Long out of print, this hardcover volume promises to be a favorite especially among those who long to see the reformation of the Southern Baptist Convention Hardcover SGCB Price: $27.95 (list price $40.00) Paperback SGCB Price: $20.95 (list price $30.00)
		An Interpretation of the English Bible: James, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Corinthians B.H. Carroll "B.H. Carroll was larger-than-life figure in Baptist history, the founder of a great seminary and the shaper of an entire generation. He dearly loved the Word of God, and his powerful preaching was the hallmark of his ministry. His "An Interpretation of the English Bible" is a masterpiece of homiletical achievement. His theological and biblical insights should influence the present generation, just as powerfully as Carroll shaped his own times. Carroll's commitment to the preaching and teaching of the Bible will humble every believer who loves the Word of God." ." - R. Albert Mohler, Jr. "This exellent new edition will make available to twenty-first century students of Holy Scripture a trustworthy commentary that reflects the sound theology of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's principal founder and first president. As an English Bible commentary, it is unequaled in clarity and faithfulness to the text. You will find it an invaluable tool for personal study, teaching, and preaching." - Kenneth S. Hemphill "The spiritual warmth and simplicity of interpretation testifies to Dr. Carroll's pastoral experience before entering the teaching profession, a greatly needed prerequisitie today for seminary classrooms. Yet his brilliant mind, forged in the fires of his former atheism, reveals a purified faith able to counter the destructive biblical critics of his day." - Fred A.

click for details		A HISTORY OF PREACHING Edwin Charles Dargan This two volume hardcover set was first published in 1905, and was written as a tribute to Dargan's homiletics professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, John Albert Broadus. Dargan later became a colleague and then the successor to Broadus in the chair of Homiletics at SBTS in Louisville, KY. The inspiration for these volumes came from the yearly "delightful lectures on the History of Preaching" from Broadus. "Under his inspiring teaching my interest as a student was awakened in the subject, and when years afterward it fell to me first to share his labors of instruction and then to succeed them, I became more and more deeply interested in the historical part of the course in homiletics." VOLUME ONE: From AD 70 - 1572 VOLUME TWO: From 1572 - 1900 Both volumes are hardcover and approximately 600 pages SGCB Price: $82.50 (list price $115.00) Volume One: From AD 70 - 1572 SGCB Price: $44.95 (list price $60.00) Volume Two: From 1572 - 1900 SGCB Price: $44.95 (list price $60.00)
		JESUS OF NAZARETH His Character, Teachings and Supernatural Works John A. Broadus "Broadus shows ample awareness on many fronts - a necessary element of effective apologetics. He paints an admirable picture of the friend of sinners and sinless Son of God. I especially appreciated the section on the centrality of the resurrection." Richard C. Barcellos, Pastor Managing Editor of Reformed Baptist Theological Review "These lectures were delivered in March 1890, in the Hall recently erected and given to Johns Hopkins University, for the use of the Young Men's Christian Association of that institution; and the President of the YMCA specially requested their publication. They were not designed as class-room lectures, since many not connected with the University were invited to attend. "The subject treated seems to possess an ever-deepening interest at the present time. The personal character of Jesus is now widely perceived to be an important guarantee of his teachings and works. This character is presented by the first lecture in a way that to some may appear lacking in devout warmth; but the object was to gain the concurrence of every person who will calmly survey the historical facts, and thus to lay a foundation for what would follow. It is hoped that the second lecture will tend to rectify certain erroneous but quite prevalent views of the Savior's teaching; and that the third lecture may be found to have some argumentative force in regarde to his mission and claims. "The little volume is the fruit of life-time studies, and has been prepared with the author's best exertions, and a great desire to promote 'the knowledge of Jesus, the most excellent of the sciences." - from the Author's Preface JOHN ALBERT BROADUS (1827-1895) was to become one of the most influential Baptist leaders in the history of the nation. This volume is a wonderful introduction to the heart of this man who loved his Savior and Lord with a passion that was contagious. SGCB Price: $7.95 (list price $11.00)
click for details		LECTURES ON THE HISTORY OF PREACHING John A. Broadus John A. Broadus (1827-1895) delivered these five lectures in May of 1876 at Newton Theological Institute near Boston, and they immediately caused a stir of interest for their publication. It was lectures like these which later moved his student E.C. Dargan to desire to spend his life studying the history of preaching. This eventually led Dargan to write his two volume massive work on "A History of Preaching" (recently published by Solid Ground). Lecture 1: Specimens of Preaching in the Bible Lecture 2: Preaching in the Early Christian Centuries Lecture 3: Medieval and Reformation Preaching Lecture 4: The Great French Preachers Lecture 5: The English Pulpit "This volume covers a most neglected field, and handles the subject with great skill." A.T. Robertson SGCB Price: $14.95 (list price $19.00)
