The Bible says emphatically that "without holiness, no man can see the Lord". But what is holiness in the end? It is a gift of God, or the work of man? Why is holiness necessary to eternal life if we are saved by grace alone through faith alone and in Christ alone? Well, Puritan Thomas Brooks unfolds the biblical truth that holiness, real and practical holiness, always accompanies salvation, and that to the end of a true believer's life. He explains and shows the need, the excellency, and the reasons for holiness. He paints then the portrait of a holy man and adds a number of means and helps to holiness, while at the same time giving biblical consolations to those Christians who may be burdened of their little, yet evident holiness.This book has been originally published in 1660.

This book is about the controversial passages in the Bible that are often used to limit, silence, and degrade women. Many people think these passages are misinterpreted because they contradict Scripture. However, the main problem is not with misinterpretations but mistranslations. In Woman the Glory of Man, you will see how these once-confusing passages harmonize perfectly with God's Word when they are correctly translated. The following Scriptures, and more, are covered in this book: 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Ephesians 5:22-24 Colossians 3:18 1 Timothy 2:11-15 Titus 2:3-5 1 Peter 3:1-6

The Heir of Redclyffe tells the story of the Byronic Guy Morville, heir to the Redclyffe baronetcy, and his cousin Philip Morville, a conceited hypocrite who enjoys an unwarrantedly high reputation. When Guy raises money to secretly pay off the debts of his blackguard uncle, Philip spreads the rumour that Guy is a reckless gambler. As a result Guy's proposed marriage to his guardian's daughter Amy is called off and he is disowned by his guardian. Guy bears the situation with a new-found Christian fortitude until the uncle clears his character, enabling him to marry Amy after all.
