A Story of France in the 18th Century “Father!” Eugène burst forth, unable to withhold his tidings. “Father, the king is dead! The wicked rebels in Paris have slain him, slain him on the scaffold. Think of that! The king, the Lord’s anointed, Louis of France!” A flush overspread the old man’s face, a tremor passed through his frame. Had he been able, he would have sprung from his seat, but he could not; one of his lower limbs was paralysed. So he lifted up his white and trembling hands to heaven, and said with deep feeling, — “God is just. His holy will be done.” Eugène was amazed. This way of taking a hideous crime, a terrible calamity, seemed to him incomprehensible. But then, as he reminded himself, his father was not quite like other people. However, he could not help saying, — “I think it looks much more like the devil’s will, my father.”Sku: 9781772980141

A Story of the Cold War Tresham looked at the picture accompanying the article and might have been gazing into a mirror, so startling was the resemblance. "Of course, it is my brother," he said slowly. So he went to Canada to work for a capitalistic state and help to start another war. " What do you want me to do, since I suppose my coming here has something to do with that item in the newspaper?" The Russian nodded and handed him a cutting from a newspaper pasted on a piece of stiff cardboard. "Read that also," he said. It was a report of a later address given by Tresham’s brother in Washington to an organization affiliated with the United Nations and called "The Society for the Promotion of World Peace and Good Will." "The first two paragraphs are all that you need read at present," said Vasiloff. The report was in English with a Russian translation beside it.Sku: 9781928136873

The true story of a love stronger than Nazi persecution. Dr. K. Sietsma, the author of The Idea of Office , and The Self-Justification of God in the Life of Job (prophetic sermons preached about five years before he experienced something like Job in Dachau in 1942) was not the only member of the Sietsma family who died in Dachau. His nephew Hein died in the same place. Dr. J. Faber wrote about Diet Eman’s book (the fiancé of Hein). The striking aspect of this book is that it testifies to God’s faithfulness . . . I heartily recommend it not only to my contemporaries among Dutch immigrants but also to their children and grandchildren.Sku: 9780802837639

Through the Thunderstorm

During the late sixteenth century the Reformation was sweeping across Europe. As the Bible became a loved book by the common man, many people questioned the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church at the perils of their lives. By torture and cruel deaths the priests attempted to return these “rebels” to the church. In the midst of this battle Guido de Bres lived as he died — trusting God and keeping the faith. Nearly five hundred years have passed since he was born, but the confession of faith written by Guido de Bres — a wonderful summary of God’s Word — continues to live on in the lives of Reformed people around the world. This book, written by one of his descendants, is about Guido de Bres. It describes the time in which he lived, and the confession of faith God allowed him to write. Though intended for older children it also will be enjoyed by adults.Sku: 9780921100102

The King of Hungary’s Blacksmith and other Stories “Well, Master Jailer, how goes it? Have you heard anything?” asked the young man in an eager whisper. The jailer laid his hand compassionately on his shoulder. “Heavy tidings for thee, poor lad,” he said. “He will likely die.” The answer was a deep groan, heard distinctly through all the uproar of the crowded room. Then silence; then a broken murmur, “Poor Maida — poor baby!” choked by something very like the suppressed sob of a strong man. The Young Burning Hearts Series is aseries of fascinating independent stories for young and old of faithfulness in trying times.Sku: 9781772980011

A Tale of theHeroic Times in Old Geneva They had now reached the Forte Neuve, by which they entered the town, with many others who were returning from the Plain-palais. As they walked along the Corratorie they met Berthelier and Gabrielle, taking the air, as the afternoon was very fine for the season of the year. Both the lads saluted; De Marsac with a flush and a beaming smile. “I did not know you knew them,” said Norbert. “Oh yes; did I not tell you I was going to see them? Master Berthelier’s sister, Damoiselle Claudine, and I are fast friends. Some years ago when I came here first, a mere child, I was one day in the market, looking about me and buying cherries or the like, when I saw this poor damoiselle being frightened half out of her senses by a group of angry, scolding fish-women. That was before such good order was put in the market, and in all the town, thanks to Master Calvin. She had told them, quite truly, that they were trying to cheat her. I fought her battle with all my might, which in truth was not great, and at last brought her home in triumph. She was much more grateful than the occasion required, and has been my very good friend ever since. I — they — they are all good to me, though lately, being much occupied with my studies, I have seen them but seldom.” “Do you not think the young damoiselle very pretty?” asked Norbert. “I do.” “She is beautiful,” Louis answered quietly; and the subject dropped.Sku: 1894666046
