When faith grows dim and outward forms remain without life, what is left?In The Backslider, Andrew Fuller exposes one of the most solemn truths in the Christian walk—the soul that once seemed earnest, yet turns away from God. With pastoral tenderness and searching insight into the human heart, Fuller traces the slow and hidden decline of the inner life: how holy affections fade, how conscience grows silent, and how sin—when left unconfessed—darkens the understanding and hardens the heart.LinksScroll ReaderPaperback or KindleChapters (0:00) Introduction (1:16) Preface (5:08) 1 - The Backslider (7:51) 2 - Understanding the Nature and Progress of Backsliding (12:53) 3 - Forms of Backsliding (37:52) 4 - On the Symptoms of a Backsliding Spirit (52:41) 5 - The Dangers of Sin Left on the Conscience (1:11:19) 6 - Means of Recovery

A companion to The Night of Weeping, this classic points weary saints toward the promised dawn. From the shadow of the cross, Horatius Bonar lifts our eyes to “the morning of joy,” tracing how God uses tears to ripen hope and how real comfort does more than soothe—it purifies. With rich, devotional chapters on anticipation, watchfulness, the “earnests” that break into our darkest nights, and the glory signaled by the Morning-Star, Bonar calls believers to live as children of the day: lamps trimmed, hands ready, hearts steady.

The road is rough, and the desert wind is harsh.For followers of the Man of Sorrows, trials are not exceptions, but inevitable companions on the journey toward the Kingdom. Whether you are walking in shadow or sunshine, in the crowd or in solitude, the Christian life is marked by the unique, tender, and often sorrowing voice of a pilgrim church.This small, intimate book is written specifically for the household of faith—especially those who are “in heaviness through many trials,” feeling the weight of the Lord’s rebuke, and passing through fire and water.Written by a fellow traveler—a brother and “companion in suffering”—this devotional seeks to move beyond mere sympathy and offer true, spiritual profit. It addresses the deepest family matters of the church: our shared sorrows and the meaning behind God’s correction.Listen: Scroll Reader Paperback & Kindle: AmazonChapters & Timestamps(0:00) Introduction(0:34) Preface(9:23) 1 - The Family(25:35) 2 - The Family Life(38:15) 3 - The Family Badge(50:59) 4 - The Family Discipline(1:15:04) 5 - The Family Rods(1:31:07) 6 - The Types(1:38:07) 7 - The Proving(1:51:34) 8 - The Rebuking(2:02:05) 9 - The Purifying(2:15:50) 10 - The Arousing(2:26:55) 11 - The Solemnizing(2:38:27) 12 - The Warning(2:55:18) 13 - The Recollections(3:04:53) 14 - The Consolation(3:22:15) 15 - The Eternal Results

In an age that exalts self, Andrew Murray’s classic work points us to a better way: the beauty of humility before God. Written with piercing clarity and deep devotion, Humility: The Beauty of Holiness reminds us that the highest glory of the creature is to be nothing in itself, that God may be all.Murray shows that humility is not an optional virtue, but the very foundation of the Christian life. Drawing from Scripture and the life of Christ, he demonstrates how true holiness flows from lowliness of heart, and how only the empty can be filled with the fullness of God.Paperback 📖: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS84V8MFScroll Reader 📜: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/humility-the-beauty-of-holiness/Chapters 📑 (0:00) 0 – Introduction (4:26) 1 – Humility: The Glory of the Creature (13:26) 2 – Humility: The Secret of Redemption (23:50) 3 – The Humility of Jesus (31:15) 4 – Humility in the Teaching of Jesus (41:19) 5 – Humility in the Disciples of Jesus (49:57) 6 – Humility in Daily Life (1:01:10) 7 – Humility and Holiness (1:10:49) 8 – Humility and Sin (1:21:12) 9 – Humility and Faith (1:29:30) 10 – Humility and Death to Self (1:41:40) 11 – Humility and Happiness (1:51:14) 12 – Humility and Exaltation (2:00:50) 13 – A Secret of Secrets: Humility the Soul of True Prayer

At only twenty-five, Anne Askew stood boldly for the truth of Scripture against the power of Rome. Refusing to deny Christ, she endured rejection, imprisonment, and the torture of the rack. Her witness ended in the flames of Smithfield, where she gave her life with unshaken faith.This episode is an excerpt from Cross and Crown by James Dabney McCabe, not the complete book.

We wonder if our prayers have any real power.In this timeless and profound exploration of Effective Praying, you will discover the foundational truths that transform prayer from a mere ritual into a dynamic, life-changing relationship with God.

True holiness isn’t found by looking within, but by looking to Christ. In this pastoral work, H. A. Ironside exposes the errors of the “Second Blessing” and “Higher Christian Life,” showing how such views turn us inward. With biblical clarity, he distinguishes our position in Christ from our condition, insisting that justification is not a feeling but God’s once-for-all verdict: the ungodly declared righteous through faith in Jesus. Feelings may change, but the Judge’s decision stands.

In 1851, schoolmaster John Horden left Exeter with three weeks’ notice to bring the Gospel to Moose Factory—a tiny Hudson’s Bay Company post cut off by ice and forest. He and his wife endured storms that trapped their ship for weeks, then faced summers of swarming mosquitoes and winters plunging to forty-below as he mastered Cree, Ojibbeway and Eskimo in order to preach and translate Scripture in the language of the people.Over forty-two years he rode dog-sled hundreds of miles, built churches, print-shops and schools with his own hands on that frozen frontier. Through famine, flood, epidemics and near-fatal rapids he remained “faithful unto death,” completing the first Cree Bible before his final illness.Book originally written in 1894 by Augustus Buckland.Links Paperback 📖: Amazon Scroll Reader 📜: Listen on our siteChapters 📑(0:00) Introduction(1:14) 1 – The Boy’s Ambition(9:21) 2 – The Departure for Moosonee(18:15) 3 – First Labours Amongst Eskimo and Indians(25:34) 4 – In Journeyings Often(35:26) 5 – England Visited(40:31) 6 – Out-Stations(45:54) 7 – A New Responsibility(52:50) 8 – Pages from Bishop Horden’s Diary(1:07:30) 9 – Years of Trial(1:19:08) 10 – To England For The Last Time(1:27:41) 11 – Home Again(1:35:15) 12 – Closing Scenes

From Japan’s once-closed ports to Uganda’s fevered lakeshores, these six nineteenth-century narratives spotlight missionaries who traded comfort for Christ. Braving famine, fever, and hostile kings, pioneers such as Alexander Mackay and John Horden pressed on to translate Scripture, plant churches, and—when required—die for the gospel. First printed in 1894 and freshly revised, The Heroic in Missions is a compact gallery of patient, rugged faith that challenges today’s readers to carry the same steady light into the world’s dark places.Paperback 📖: Buy on AmazonScroll Reader 📜: ListenChapters 📑(0:00) Introduction(2:42) 1 - The Heroism of Patience(20:43) 2 - The Pioneer in Japan(37:48) 3 - The Graves by the Victoria Nyanza(56:14) 4 - A Pioneer in the Far West(1:15:46) 5 - The Pilgrim Missionary of the Punjab(1:29:47) 6 - The Men Who Died at Lokoja
