]]> <![CDATA[The Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives]]> 33533716 At 30 years old, Lewis Howes was outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside. He was a successful athlete and businessman, achieving goals beyond his wildest dreams, but he felt empty, angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. His whole identity had been built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was.

Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men � young and old � wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes the ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; the cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and the destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make. This book is a must-read for every man � and for every woman who loves a man.

]]> Of Plymouth Plantation 844681 Mayflower, the first harsh winter in the new colony, and the help from friendly Native Americans that saved their lives.
No one was better equipped to report on the affairs of the Plymouth community than William Bradford. Revered for his patience, wisdom, and courage, Bradford was elected to the office of governor in 1621, and he continued to serve in that position for more than three decades. His memoirs of the colony remained virtually unknown until the nineteenth century. Lost during the American Revolution, they were discovered years later in London and published after a protracted legal battle. The current edition rendered into modern English and with an introduction by Harold Paget, remains among the most readable books from seventeenth-century America.]]> 450 William Bradford 0966523334 Heather 0 to-read, history 3.50 1651 Of Plymouth Plantation

For nearly 10 years, Weston Price and his wife traveled around the world in search of the secret to health. Instead of looking at people afflicted with disease symptoms, this highly-respected dentist and dental researcher chose to focus on healthy individuals, and challenged himself to understand how they achieved such amazing health. Dr. Price traveled to hundreds of cities in a total of 14 different countries in his search to find healthy people. He investigated some of the most remote areas in the world. He observed perfect dental arches, minimal tooth decay, high immunity to tuberculosis and overall excellent health in those groups of people who ate their indigenous foods. He found when these people were introduced to modernized foods, such as white flour, white sugar, refined vegetable oils and canned goods, signs of degeneration quickly became quite evident. Dental caries, deformed jaw structures, crooked teeth, arthritis and a low immunity to tuberculosis became rampant amongst them. Dr. Price documented this ancestral wisdom including hundreds of photos in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.]]> 524 Weston A.

Twenty years later, with a “house full of young ‘rebels� clustering around my knees and bumping about my elbows,� he wrote this remarkable account—a memoir of a humble soldier fighting in the American Civil War, replete with tales of the common foot soldiers, commanders, Yankee enemies, victories, defeats, and the South’s ultimate surrender on April 26, 1865.]]> 256 Sam R.

]]> L'Abri 338211
Edith Schaeffer, esposa do Dr. Francis Schaeffer, conta a notável história de como Deus os guiou passo a passo, à medida que um pequeno chalé se transformava em uma comunidade inteira. O lugar recebeu o nome de L’Abri (francês para abrigo). Dia após dia, Deus proveu fielmente para sua família e, no fim das contas, para toda a comunidade.

Os Schaeffers acreditavam que a verdade deve ser demonstrada tanto quanto debatida. Eles queriam mostrar ao mundo, através do estilo de vida transformado de uma comunidade de crentes, que o Deus pessoal-infinito está realmente presente em nossa geração. Em uma sociedade que perde a capacidade de discernir entre valores cristãos e não cristãos, verdade e inverdade, bem e mal, o L’Abri equipou inúmeras pessoas a fazerem essa distinção.

Há mais de 30 anos, pessoas vão ao L’Abri de todas as camadas sociais e de muitos países, em busca da verdade e da realidade. Lá encontram alguém que cuida delas pessoalmente, que ouve atentamente suas perguntas e que lhes dá respostas baseadas em um compromisso intransigente com a verdade bíblica. O L’Abri agora tem filiais em vários outros países e afetou a vida de literalmente milhares de pessoas ao redor do mundo.]]> 256 Edith Schaeffer 0891076689 Heather 0 to-read 4.29 L'Abri

]]> <![CDATA[Stephen Decatur: A Life Most Bold and Daring]]> 1151581 Philadelphia, a prized U.S. warship captured when it ran aground during the Barbary Wars, earned him international fame. An admiring Horatio Nelson described the feat as "the most bold and daring act of the age." Explaining the tremendous impact Decatur's action had on the early U.S. Navy, the author notes that it set a standard of audacity and courage for generations of future naval officers. At the age of twenty-five, Decatur was promoted to captain, becoming the youngest naval officer ever to attain that rank in the U.S. Navy.

The book fully examines Decatur's astonishing achievements as it chronicles his rapid rise in the Navy, including his command of the Constitution and the United States, during the War of 1812, when he captured the British frigate Macedonian off the Azores. The book also recounts the cruise that many call his greatest triumph: Decatur sailed into the Mediterranean with a nine-ship American squadron to punish the dey of Algiers for taking American merchant shipping, securing peace with Algiers and keeping other Barbary states quiescent. Lionized by a grateful American public upon his return, Decatur offered a toast at a reception in his honor that is now legendary, "Our country In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong " In describing Decatur's life, the author also examines Decatur's relationshipwith James Barron, a Navy captain who fatally shot Decatur during a 1820 duel.]]> 304 Spencer C.

]]> <![CDATA[Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning]]> 8807379 Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, coauthor How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing.

Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film--voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms.

A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative. She equips readers to counter the life-denying worldviews that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don't know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols. Includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations that bring the book's themes to life.

]]> <![CDATA[A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life]]> 16107234 A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life offers a groundbreaking treatment of the Puritans� teaching on most major Reformed doctrines, particularly those doctrines in which the Puritans made significant contributions. Since the late 1950s, nearly 150 Puritan authors and 700 Puritan titles have been reprinted and catalogued by Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson in their 2006 collection of mini-biographies and book reviews, titled, Meet the Puritans. However, no work until now has gathered together the threads of their teaching into a unified tapestry of systematic theology.

A Puritan Theology, by Joel Beeke and Mark Jones, attempts to do that. The book addresses Puritan teachings on all six loci of theology, covering fifty areas of doctrine. The book explores Puritan teachings on biblical interpretation, God, predestination, providence, angels, sin, the covenants, the gospel, Christ, preparation for conversion, regeneration, coming to Christ, justification, adoption, church government, the Sabbath, preaching, baptism, heaven, hell, and many other topics. It ends with eight chapters that explore Puritan "theology in practice." Some chapters highlight the work of a specific theologian such as William Perkins, William Ames, John Owen, Stephen Charnock, or Thomas Goodwin on a specific topic. Other chapters survey various authors on a particular subject. The goal of A Puritan Theology is to increase knowledge in the mind and godliness in the soul. It was written for theologians, historians, pastors, and educated laymen who seek to learn more about Puritan theology. (Reformation Heritage)]]> 1054 Joel R.

]]> <![CDATA[Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War]]> 7025619
But that's precisely what Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson Jr. assert in Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists. The pair completely reassess this tumultuous time in American history, exposing the "politically correct" view of the War for Southern Independence as nothing less than the same observation announced by Marx himself. During the American Civil War, Marx wrote about his support of the Union Army, the Republican Party, and Lincoln himself. In fact, he named the president as "the single-minded son of the working class."

In addition to shedding light on this little-known part of our history, Kennedy and Benson also ask pertinent questions about the validity of today's federal government and why its role seems so much larger than the liberty found in the states it represents.



Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists is a bold undertaking, but it's one that needs our immediate and absolute attention.

]]> Holiness 362602
Bishop J.C. Ryle served the Lord in ministry in the Church of England for almost the entire length of the Victorian Age. Although Ryle was committed to all forms of evangelism, his heart beat strongest for mass evangelism in the cities. Much of his immediate influence on Victorian evangelism stemmed from his prolific number of tracts. Several million copies of his more than 200 different tracts were distributed in a variety of languages throughout the Land.

Bishop Ryle's desire, and his answer to the issues of his day, was the pursuit of personal revival of Scriptural holiness. This holds just as true for today, as it was in his time.]]> 59 J.C. Ryle 1879089246 Heather 0 to-read, next-up 4.28 1877 Holiness

]]> Knowing God 139855 Christianity Today voted this title one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals. This edition is updated with Americanized language and spelling and a new preface by the author.

Stemming from Packer's profound theological knowledge, Knowing God brings together two important facets of the Christian faith:
1. Knowing about God and
2. Knowing God through the context of a close relationship with the person of Jesus Christ.

Written in an engaging and practical tone, this thought-provoking work seeks to transform and enrich the Christian understanding of God. Explaining both who God is and how we can relate to him, Packer divides his book into three sections: The first directs our attention to how and why we know God, the second to the attributes of God and the third to the benefits enjoyed by a those who know him intimately. This guide leads readers into a greater understanding of God while providing advice to gaining a closer relationship with him as a result.]]> 286 J.I. Packer Heather 0 to-read 4.32 1973 Knowing God

Stemming from her long years in homeschooling. Andrea elevates the Kingdom mandate as the driving purpose behind God's creation of the family, and the family's central task: education. Her passion is to equip Christian families - especially homeschooling mothers - not only with the tools of learning, but the tools of dominion.]]> 120 Andrea Schwartz 1891375539 Heather 0 to-read 4.60 2010 The Biblical Trustee Family

]]> Foundations of Social Order 1206160
Today humanism is the creedal basis of the various democratic and socialistic movements. The clearer the humanism, the more direct its use of power, because it operates in terms of a consistency of principle. The conservatives attempt to retain the political forms of the Christian West with no belief in Biblical Christianity. Apart from vague affirmations of liberty, they cannot defend their position philosophically. They therefore become fact they try to oppose the humanists by documenting their cruelty, corruption, and abuse of office. If the facts carry any conviction to the people, they lead them only to exchange one set of radical humanists for reforming radical humanists. It is never their faith in the system which is shaken, but only in a form or representative of that system. The success of the subversives rests on their attack on the creed of the establishment, and its replacement by a new creed.

Then the foundations are provided, the general form of the building is determined. When the creed is accepted, the social order is determined. There can therefore be no reconstruction of the Christian civilization of the west except on Christian creedal foundations.]]> 197 Rousas John Rushdoony 1879998122 Heather 0 to-read 4.33 1978 Foundations of Social Order

]]> <![CDATA[By This Standard: The Authority of God's Law Today]]> 547102 God's Law is Christianity's tool of dominion. This is where any discussion of God's law ultimately the issue of dominion. Ask Who is to rule on earth, Christ or Satan? Whose followers have the ethically acceptable tool of dominion, Christ's or Satan's? What is this tool of dominion, the bibically revealed law of God, or the law of self-proclaimed autonomous man? Whose word is sovereign, God's or man's? Millions of Christians, sadly, have not recognized the continuing authorigy of God's law or its many applications to modern society. They have thereby reaped the whirlwind - cultural and intellectual impotence. They implicitly have surrendered this world to the devil. They have implicitly denied the power of the death and resurrection of Christ. They have served as footstools for the enemies of God. But humanism's free ride is coming to an end. This book serves as an introduction to this woefully neglected topic.]]> 245 Greg L. Bahnsen 0930464060 Heather 0 to-read 4.25 1991 By This Standard: The Authority of God's Law Today

]]> Apostate 17937716
This is the story of the decline and fall of Western civilization. It is the story of uncommonly powerful men, unfathomably evil men. . . apostates.

Reader beware!

This book faces head-on the spiritual forces that leveled a full-out attack on the Christian faith in the Western world. On the one hand, it is a story of demonic possession, insanity, suicide, mass-murder, adultery, homosexuality, cultural and social revolutions, and unbridled, maniacal apostasy. It is the story of apostasy on a massive scale. But it is also a story of hope and victory for the last men standing in the ashes of Western civilization. It will be a testimony to the inevitable triumph of Jesus Christ over the great men of renown who picked the wrong fight in the history of the West.]]> 303 Kevin Swanson 0985365153 Heather 0 to-read 4.15 2013 Apostate

]]> <![CDATA[Tools of Dominion: The Case Laws of Exodus]]> 1329216 Tools of Dominion Dr Gary North examines in detail the meaning of the case laws. How did they operate in ancient Israel? What moral and judicial prinicples undergirded each of them? How did the coming of Jesus Christ modify them? How could they be applied today?

Tools of Dominion describes in great detail the way the world is supposed to work in God's historic kingdom, in terms of His revealed law. It shows how judges and juries are required by God to dispense justice, and it reveals the promises that God has made to those societies that honor His word.

But Tools of Dominion is also a warning. It is a warning to those individuals and societies that believe that they can defy God daily by ignoring His requirements for justice. It warns of the negative sanctions that God eventually brings against all societies that turn their backs on His precepts. He extends mercy in history, but He also brings judgment. ]]> 1287 Gary North 0930464109 Heather 0 to-read 3.52 1990 Tools of Dominion: The Case Laws of Exodus

]]> Great Gain of Godliness 449980
In this reset and lightly edited edition you can now read the book that was on Spurgeon's 'wish-list'! The Great Gain of Godliness is Watson's exposition of Malachi 3:16-18. In it he aims 'to encourage solid piety and confute the atheists of the world, who imagine there is no gain in godliness.' This book has all the hallmarks of Thomas Watson's other a combination of rich spirituality, nourishing doctrine, and sane practical wisdom coupled with fascinating illustrations and a very pleasant style.]]> 166 Thomas Watson 0851519385 Heather 0 puritan-treasures, to-read 4.43 1682 Great Gain of Godliness

]]> <![CDATA[Westminster Confession Of Faith w/ Catechisms (1646-7) (and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, Directories for Public and Private Worship, Form of Presbyterial Church Government, the Sum of Saving Knowledge)]]> 6463822 The Westminster Confession of Faith is the greatest of all the creeds of the Christian Church. Since its first publication in 1646 it has remained absolutely unsurpassed as an accurate and concise statement of Christian doctrine. Among all the shifting sands of theological opinion here is solid truth, for it has its foundation in the unchanging truth of Scripture--witness the copious references from the Bible which are printed on each page. Because of its faithfulness to Scripture the Confession has permanent worth and abiding relevance.

The Church of Christ cannot be creedless and live. Especially in an age of doubt and confusion, it is her duty to define the Christian faith and to proclaim it to the world. Nowhere has the Reformed Church done this so effectively as in The Westminster Confession of Faith. While always recognising the supreme place of the Word of God in all matters of faith and practice, one can always turn to the Confession as one's subordinate standard. Here readers will find spiritual treasure; here too they will find comfort and strength.

Also contained in this volume are the magnificent Larger and Shorter Catechisms, The Sum of Saving Knowledge, The National Covenant, The Solemn League and Covenant, The Directory for the Public Worship of God, The Form of Presbyterial Church Government, and The Directory for Family Worship.]]> 438 Westminster Assembly 0902506080 Heather 0 to-read 4.50 1646 Westminster Confession Of Faith w/ Catechisms (1646-7) (and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, Directories for Public and Private Worship, Form of Presbyterial Church Government, the Sum of Saving Knowledge)

In addition, the book includes appendices defending theonomy biblically and historically, as well as appendices refuting alternative political philosophies.

God is Just includes contributions from two of the most prolific next-generation theonomic writers, Buddy Hanson and Daniel F. N. Ritchie. Hanson (of Grace and Law Resource Center) wrote the forward, and Ritchie (of Reformed Worldview Books) wrote an appendix.

Additionally, the second edition includes a new appendix by Vindiciae Legis, who gives an excellent historical treatment of the theonomic views of the Westminster divines. Legis has previously written defenses of historical theonomy for Theonomy Resources.]]> 614 Steve C. Halbrook Heather 0 to-read 4.50 2011 God is Just: A Defense of the Old Testament Civil Laws
