James Gilmour’s remarkable account is a window into the life of a pioneering missionary whose diary, letters, and reports chronicle an extraordinary journey from the familiar streets of Glasgow to the vast, uncharted steppes of Mongolia. In this compelling narrative, Gilmour details his early years, rigorous education, and the selfless determination that led him to leave behind all comforts in the pursuit of spreading his faith. His personal records reveal not only the hardships and perils of life in a distant, often unforgiving land but also the steadfast courage and profound spirituality that defined his every step.Paperback 📖: https://amzn.to/4hWFT1DScroll Reader 📜: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/james-gilmour-of-mongolia/Chapters 📑:(0:00) Introduction and Preview (2:15) Original Preface from 1895 (4:18) 1 - Early Years and Education (1:01:02) 2 - Beginning Work (1:16:12) 3 - Mongolian Apprenticeship (2:19:33) 4 - The First Campaign in Mongolia (2:38:38) 5 - Marriage (2:52:54) 6 - In Frequent Journeys, In Dangers of Rivers (3:50:27) 7 - Speaking Tour in Britain (4:11:32) 8 - Sunshine and Shadow (4:47:36) 9 - A Change of Field (6:29:25) 10 - Personal Traits in Letters to Family and Friends (7:23:27) 11 - Closing Labors (8:49:20) 12 - The Last Days

Few men in history have left a mark as deep and enduring as John Wesley. A relentless preacher, fearless reformer, and tireless servant of Christ, Wesley traversed thousands of miles on horseback, proclaiming the gospel to rich and poor alike. His unwavering focus—what some called a “one-eyed” devotion to God’s glory—sparked a movement that transformed the spiritual landscape of England and beyond.Paperback 📖: https://amzn.to/43dQekWScroll Reader 📜: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/john-wesley-a-single-eye-for-gods-glory/Chapters 📑:(0:00) Introduction(0:28) Preface (6:48) 1 - The Prophet Who Was the Son of a Prophet (24:22) 2 - In the Fire, But Not Burned (41:21) 3 - The Man Who Took Leave of Leisure (57:40) 4 - Faithful, But Rejected (1:08:13) 5 - The Sunrise of Darkest England (1:28:14) 6 - Submitting to Be Vile for Truth’s Sake (1:53:34) 7 - Something at Every Time (2:18:11) 8 - In Perils from Men: The Age of Mobs (2:38:30) 9 - The Man Whose Prejudices Yielded to the Force of Truth (3:00:25) 10 - The Man Who Had But Four Spoons (3:16:52) 11 - The Man Who Heeded Not Sneers (3:31:31) 12 - The Man Who Dared Not Fret (3:48:22) 13 - A Dissenter in Spite of Himself (4:03:38) 14 - Be Earnest!

Mr. Silas Told was a man of sound understanding, though he owed little to formal education. His life contains many remarkable instances of divine Providence, some of an extraordinary nature. These accounts are easy to accept when we consider, first, his eminent truthfulness, and second, that he recounts events he personally witnessed and heard. I trust these accounts will be valuable to serious and candid readers. John Wesley

Does God have no pleasure in the death of the wicked? How shall we understand Ezekiel 33:11? The following are four sermons from the 1855 publication Sermons of the Reverend Ichabod Spencer - Late Pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, Long Island. These sermons, spanning pages 285 to 359, have been revised and compiled into a book. They capture truths that are essentially similar to those found in A Pastor’s Sketches by Spencer, though presented here in sermonic form. It is our prayer that some will be led to abandon trust in themselves and turn to the Savior, who takes no pleasure in the death of sinners.

What is the history of the Gospel in Cuba? From the shores of Cuba to the bustling streets of New York, Alberto J. Díaz’s journey is one of faith, courage, and transformation. Fleeing Spanish persecution, Díaz narrowly escaped death, only to find himself alone, ill, and penniless in a foreign land. Through an extraordinary chain of events—including the prayers of a young Christian woman—Díaz discovered the gospel, forever changing the trajectory of his life. Returning to Cuba, Díaz became a physician of both body and soul, preaching Christ amidst relentless opposition. As Catholic authorities sought to silence him, Díaz's unwavering faith ignited a revival that saw thousands embrace the gospel. With extraordinary resilience, he founded schools, built churches, and brought the light of Christ to a nation burdened by spiritual darkness.

The life story of Robert Moffat, the South African missionary, will always hold interest as long as people value noble deeds and patient effort. Our hearts will race and our enthusiasm will ignite as we read about the dangers he faced and overcame, the true courage he showed in confronting the king of beasts on the African plains, and the time he spent with savage chiefs, beneath whose warriors' spears and clubs thousands had perished. Our sympathy is stirred by tales of sickness and suffering, hunger and terrible thirst, and ongoing disappointments that lasted for years. Gratitude brings tears to our eyes as we witness the love driving the effort to bring the heathen to the Savior, and as we see the once darkened souls clothed and subdued, learning the truth of the Gospel in both mind and heart. We are grateful for heroic Christian men like Moffat, who hold nothing dear, not even their lives, in their mission to win sinners to the love of Jesus Christ.

"No Place Like Home" by Hesba Stretton is a poignant Victorian-era novella that delves into themes of family, hardship, and redemption. The story follows Ruth Medway, a devoted Christian mother, who, after her eight children have left home, finds solace in her youngest son, Ishmael. An innocent adventure leads Ishmael and a companion to a cave, where they roast wild eggs—a seemingly simple act that sets off a chain of events profoundly impacting their lives.

Shall We Continue In Sin? A Crucial Question for Believers Answered by Scripture by Arthur. T. Pierson.Revised in 2024: Delve into the profound truths of Romans 6–8, where Paul systematically addresses the believer’s calling to live free from the power of sin. Anchored in the believer’s union with Christ, these chapters reveal how justification and sanctification are inseparably tied to His death and life. With clear and sober reasoning, Paul outlines a seven-fold view of this union—Judicial, Vital, Practical, Marital, Spiritual, Actual, and Eternal—showing how Christ not only removes the penalty of sin but also breaks its power. This book calls every disciple to understand and embrace the divine foundation for living a life set apart to God.

About the Original Work
Originally published in 1842 as The God of Glory: Or a Guide to the Doubting in Devotional Guides, this classic work has been carefully revised and reissued under a new title in 2025.
Robert Philip begins these essays by highlighting Abraham’s faith as a model for all believers to follow. From there, he thoughtfully examines the nature and causes of doubt. As the chapters progress, the author explores:

• General and specific aspects of doubt
• Root causes of unbelief
• The path to overcoming doubt through a deeper understanding of God’s goodness

This book emphasizes that every great promise in the Bible is anchored in the hope of eternal life. It explains how:

• God established His promise of grace and mercy before the world began—not to create uncertainty, but to inspire faith.
• The eternal nature of His mercy assures us of His unchanging and reliable word.

When we doubt His promise, we inadvertently question His truthfulness. Instead, this book calls us to place our trust in God’s eternal plan of salvation through Christ, offering comfort and assurance.

Perfect for:

• Readers seeking biblical answers to doubt
• Those looking to strengthen their faith
• Those seeking to overcome fears of having committed the unpardonable sin.

The question we are considering is, What is the instruction, as taught by the Lord and supported by experience, that is most likely to lead to the salvation of our children? A complete answer would require a book, not just a single sermon. I can only offer a few insights on this important topic. My purpose in these remarks is to direct your attention: – To some essential parts of children’s upbringing where parents should focus their efforts. – To practical methods for achieving these goals. – To the encouragements and motivations for faithfully fulfilling this parental duty.

John Williams must ever occupy a prominent and unique position among missionary heroes. His remarkable mechanical genius, his romantic adventures, and, above all, his tragic death, continue to invest his name with a peculiar charm.

Sadly, he passed away before he could start. Because of this, we have lost many stories about God's grace at work in both the Water Street and Cremorne Missions. Thankfully, enough stories remain, and you'll find them in these pages. They are sure to touch the hearts of Christians. These stories remind us that God's grace is available to everyone, without exception. Just as the most beautiful jewels are often found in the most unlikely places in nature, God's grace brings forth shining examples of His love from even the darkest corners of society...

Preface for, "The Life of Missionary Henry Martyn". From the 1831 edition that was written by John Hall. This volume has been primarily compiled from the tenth English edition of the Memoirs of Mr. Martyn by Rev. John Sargent. The author of this publication has aimed to present the subject in a way that helps young readers form a balanced view of Christian character. Instead of encouraging vague admiration, the goal is to offer the humble missionary as a practical example to follow. To achieve this, the author has intentionally avoided excessive praise, hoping the biography will leave a lasting impression on the reader about the essential need for God's power in leading a holy and useful life. Often, children are subtly taught to see the remarkable examples of piety and zeal recorded in both sacred and ordinary history as exceptions to Christ's teaching, where He instructed His disciples to say—even after fulfilling all commands—"We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were supposed to do." This approach can create an illusion that even mature understanding may not fully dispel, and it may also diminish the glory of the one perfect example of righteousness that has blessed our world. Moreover, it risks nurturing hidden religious pride in the heart of the young Christian, something that usually needs no extra encouragement to hinder the growth of grace. Memoirs of a Christian should be designed more to instruct the living than to praise the dead, and it is surprising that so few works of this nature are available, crafted with evangelical discernment. This principle is especially important in biographies intended for Sunday school students, and it would be a true honor to the institution if the materials endorsed in this area were distinguished by this rare moral clarity.

"In all our faith and Bible study, it is very important to understand the mind of Christ, to think like He thought, and to feel like He felt. There isn’t a question we face or an issue that comes up where Christ’s words don’t offer guidance and help. Today, we want to understand Christ’s thoughts about money, to know exactly how He viewed it, and then to think and act as He would. This isn’t easy. We are so influenced by the world around us that we may fear becoming impractical if we live exactly like Christ. But we shouldn’t be afraid; if we truly want to know His will, He will show us what He wants us to think and do. Just be sincere in saying: I want Christ to teach me how to handle and use my money."

Revised in 2024 to enhance readability and comprehension. The following story, originally read in French, immediately struck me as one that, with some modifications to convey clear and strong evangelical truths, would make an excellent addition to Sunday School libraries and appeal to young readers of all kinds. The story is deeply moving, and the lessons it teaches are both valuable and important. I've rarely encountered lessons of practical piety presented as simply as they are in this little book, all drawn from the beauties of nature. Almost every chapter contains sermons directed at young hearts, using flowers from the garden as their texts. The translation of the story is quite free, with significant omissions in many places and considerable additions in others. G.T.

This book, "Neesima: A Journey from Samurai to Servant of God" (1908) serves as a concise overview, primarily adapted from The Life and Letters of Joseph Hardy Neesima by Arthur Sherburn Hardy. We have revised the third edition of that work, published in 1908 by the M. E. Publishing House, Mount Road, Madras, India. This context partly explains why the final chapter focuses on Neesima’s influence in India. Together with Paul Kanamori's book, which we have also republished, this volume provides a broader perspective on the Gospel's impact in Japan, enriching the Christian understanding of its reach in Asia. This volume tells the true history of a samurai who abandoned the false gods of his upbringing to embrace Christianity and bring moral reformation to his homeland—through the only way possible—the Gospel. Neesima’s journey from an oppressed society to the heights of education in America, and ultimately his founding of a Christian university in Japan, offers a compelling narrative of faith, patriotism, and the transformative power of the Gospel. I love Jesus-more than anything else. I cast whole self to Him and try to do right before His sight. This is my vow. I will go back to Japan and persevere to turn the people to Jesus from Devil. — Joseph Hardy Neesima

Paul Kanamori's Life Story: How the Higher Criticism Wrecked a Japanese Christian; and How He Came Back. As a young believer, Kanamori experienced a powerful revival and went on to serve as a missionary to his own people. However, over time, he fell away and became a prodigal. In the book, Kanamori shares how he was led astray by the higher criticism movement—a school of thought that caused him not only to question God’s Word but to doubt its authority, deny its truth.

As I read about his spiritual drift, I was reminded of people I know today. Some now question foundational biblical truths, claiming that Adam and Eve were not real people, or they’ve embraced theistic evolution. Is there hope for them? Kanamori describes his journey through doubt and denial of Scripture, but his story does not conclude in despair. Even after 20 years of grappling with skepticism and theological error, he was brought back to a firm faith and full restoration. This provides me with great encouragement to continue praying for those who have strayed from God's Word—there is always hope for their restoration as well.

William A. B. Johnson’s mission in Sierra Leone stands as a living testament to God’s transforming power. In this unvarnished account of seven arduous years on the edge of the Dark Continent, one man’s life becomes a beacon amid despair. Called to a field where hope was scarce and suffering abundant, Johnson’s journey echoes the sacred promise: “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.”

Through personal trials and the relentless hardships of a mission marked by poverty, disease, and cultural barriers, he discovered that even in the midst of darkness, divine light could prevail. His own heart testified, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness,” a truth that turned barren soil into a garden of renewal. In a land where spiritual blindness was the norm, his steadfast faith proclaimed, “Light is sprung up,” illuminating lives long forgotten.

The author, Arthur T. Pierson, observed that “in the past twenty years, I have encountered no other work that so vividly captures the transforming power of God’s grace in the midst of human despair.” His words remind us that this is not merely a biography but a living record of faith—a singular testament of a servant whose life and labors continue to speak to the heart of every seeker of truth.

Listen to the audiobook of Matthew Henry Meekness: Cultivating the Imperishable Quality of a Gentle and Quiet Spirit. Just as Andrew Murray’s book Humility is a classic on cultivating humility, so is Henry’s work on meekness for those pursuing it. While the book may feel repetitive at times, it is like a cloth repeatedly scrubbing a spot that wasn’t clean the first time. By the end, this thorough approach will have greatly helped you cultivate meekness in your own life.

Matthew Henry writes, "there is no other topic I could bring to you where I feel more likely to succeed than this, for meekness contributes so much to the comfort and peace of our souls, making our lives sweet and pleasant. If you are wise in this, you are wise for yourself. The aim of this discourse has been to persuade you not to be your own tormentors but to govern your passions so that they do not become furies to your soul. The virtue I have been recommending to you is universally acknowledged as excellent and beautiful. Will you embrace it and wear it, so that others may know you are Christ's disciples and you may be found among the sheep on His right hand on the great day when Christ’s angels will gather out of His kingdom all that offends?"

Of No Account by Ruth Lamb tells the story of Adam Livesey, a man who feels unimportant and believes he has no value in the world. He struggles with poverty and hard work, thinking that his life is of little worth. But the story takes a turn when Adam begins to discover that his true identity and value don't come from what others think of him or even his struggles, but from something much deeper. Adam meets a kind new manager who sees his hard work and cares about him as a person. Through their conversations, Adam starts to realize that his worth is not based on his circumstances but on the fact that he is loved by God. The manager introduces him to the idea that, while life is full of hardship, our true value is found in Christ, who cares for us deeply.

The Ministry of Healing: Miracles of Healing Through the Ages by A.J. Gordon, originally published in 1882, revised in 2024. Have there been miracles since the time of the apostles? The common answer has been a firm “no.” A recent survey in a religious journal asked ministers, teachers, and theology professors for their views. Most responded, and nearly all agreed that the age of miracles ended with the apostles. Some of these responses suggested the question had not been deeply considered. A few even tried to avoid the issue by asking, “What is a miracle?” Only one or two supported the idea that miracles are possible in every age and have occurred throughout Church history.

by Mabel Williamson, first published in 1957.

What does it mean to give up everything for the sake of Christ? In a world that teaches us to cling to our rights—our right to comfort, control, and personal security—what happens when we let them go? Can we embrace a life that forfeits the comforts of a ‘normal’ standard of living for the mission of the Gospel? Are we willing to surrender the desire to control our own health, privacy, and time if it means serving others in need? What does love look like when we sacrifice the right to a ‘normal’ romance or home life for a missions calling? Can we truly give up the right to choose our companions and trust God’s plan for our relationships? What about our desire to feel superior, to take charge—can we lay that down at Christ’s feet and follow His path of humility? And, most importantly, are we ready to follow the example of the Apostle Paul, who surrendered every claim to personal rights in his pursuit of God’s mission?

This book presents a challenging yet valuable read for all believers. However, it is especially relevant for those who feel called to the mission field. It offers insights that can help prepare them for the journey ahead, including challenges of the heart they may not yet foresee.

History of the Moravian Church | Book 2: The Revival Under Zinzendorf - The effect on Zinzendorf was electric. His mind was full of missionary visions. The story of Antony fired his zeal. The door to the heathen world stood open. The golden day had dawned. As Zinzendorf drew near to his end, he saw that his efforts in the cause of Christ had not ended as he had hoped. His design was the union of Christendom, his achievement the revival of the Church of the Brethren. He had given the “Hidden Seed” a home at Herrnhut.

The telling of the deeply spiritual life story of the young minister of the Gospel of St. Peters Church, Dundee, Scotland, Robert Murray M'Cheyne, has been used of God to bring challenge, blessing and inspiration to hundreds of thousands down through the years since his death in 1843 at the early age of 30. Few men have lived a life filled with such power and blessing in such a short span of years.

Dr. Andrew A. Bonar's biography of this stalwart young man of God has been the standard recognized work on the life of this prince among men. This biography is from the larger Memoirs and Remains of the Rev. Robert Murray M'Cheyne with just the memoirs—or biography—reprinted. The "remains," letters and sermons of M'Cheyne have been recently republished in the Wyckliffe Series issued by the Moody Press, but we are presenting in the pages of this volume Bonar's soul-stirring biography of this young man who was so completely and wholly surrendered to the will of God. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith, in his "Profitable Bible Study," says, "Every minister, of whatever denomination, should have this marvelous work."

“A good soldier of Jesus Christ.” – 2 Timothy 2:2,3. Many people, many opinions. When it comes to defining what a Christian is, there have been numerous and diverse viewpoints. Some believe that a Christian is someone with very refined tastes. This person cannot worship unless they are in a place with perfectly Gothic architecture, or else their sensitive soul will be offended. They find it difficult to pray properly unless their devotions are accompanied by the finest music. Even then, they may not succeed unless they are assisted by gentlemen whose lineage can be traced as clearly as racehorses and whose clothing is tailored according to the latest ecclesiastical fashion guidelines for each season of the year. Delivered on a Sunday morning, June 26, 1870, By C. H. Spurgeon, At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington. Please note: We've slightly revised sections of this sermon.

William Leonard Parsons, born in 1811 and passing in 1877, was a Christian author known for his work on spiritual warfare, particularly focusing on overcoming Satan's influence. His most well-known book, "The Believer's Victory Over Satan's Devices," was initially published in 1864 under the title "Satan's Devices and the Believer's Victory."

Audiobook of the 1849 book, The Power of The Pulpit: Thoughts Addressed to Christian Ministers and Those Who Hear Them by Gardiner Spring. This version has been revised in 2024.

This book, The Power of the Pulpit, stands among such classics as Lectures to My Students by Charles Spurgeon and Preachers and Preaching by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, offering profound insights and timeless wisdom for those called to proclaim God's truth.

Gardiner Spring writes: "The pulpit claims no physical power; its strength is in its moral influence. Its conflict is not one of weapons, but of truth against falsehood. Its victories do not involve subduing others but lifting them up. Its power goes beyond the battlefield, the court, and the Senate. It surpasses them all. Evaluate them fairly and consider which holds the widest influence and occupies the most space in shaping society. While secular forces like armies and governments hold power, the pulpit has had a deeper and more lasting impact. Who did more for England—statesmen like Edmund Burke and William Pitt, or preachers like George Whitefield and Robert Hall? Who contributed more to Scotland—warriors like Robert Bruce, or ministers like John Knox and Thomas Chalmers?"

"Taken or Left" is a touching story that follows the life of Peter, a young boy in a large family. His mother, overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising ten boys and a daughter named Salome, struggles to find joy amidst her duties. The narrative begins with Peter's devotion to his little sister, Salome, who becomes his closest friend. As they grow, Peter faces a moral dilemma when he loses a shilling and deceitfully replaces it with one found in his father's till. The guilt of his dishonesty weighs heavily on him, especially after a sermon about the second coming of Jesus makes him realize he will not be taken but will be left!

"The Bank of Faith" was originally published in 1889.

The apostle Paul said, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). This verse shows that the Lord has abundant resources to meet our every need. But how do we access this divine provision? By faith. It is a bank of faith, and as believers, we live a life of trust.

As you listen to this book, it might sometimes sound like a series of checkbook entries, listing one provision after another to meet various needs. If you find yourself thinking, “this seems repetitive,” take a moment to marvel at the repetition. This repetition is a glorious reminder of how God consistently provides for believers. Just like the Israelites in the wilderness who found manna each morning, God faithfully provides for us day after day, year after year. This consistent provision is a testament to God’s unwavering character. Even if we aren’t as urgently praying, “give us this day our daily bread,” because of the wealth we have in America, remember that just as God provided for the Israelites, He will also provide for you. So, rejoice in the repetition—it highlights God’s unfailing care and generosity.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)

Our prayer is that as you listen, you will realize that even now, after over 100 years, there is still a great need for the Word of God to be spread and made accessible. You and I might take for granted that we have a Bible in our own language, but there are still countless souls who have no access to the bread of life. What will we do? What will you do?

On April 2, 2024, Stuart Olyott from Liverpool, England, shared insights on the topic of "How to Not Preach a Boring Sermon" with some of the men at Grace Community Church in San Antonio, Texas. It was during this study that he highly commended this book. These references thus led me to commence a project of reading the 1912 version, revising it, and turning it into an audiobook.

Let me share part of what Stuart shared that night:

I use this book not just to reread it, but I find that if I read a couple of sentences, I suddenly feel that I want to pray. So, I use that as a trigger to pray. Then, after reading a few more sentences, I want to pray again; it moves me to pray...I would like to counsel you to read Power Through Prayer...I think you'll realize that there's far more to preaching than just the act of preaching. Preaching is something done by God through a man.

In retracing the marvelous acts of the Lord recorded in these pages of, “A Thousand Miles of Miracle in China”, I have felt indeed that I am on holy ground. So sacred is the memory of that solemn past that I almost shrink from bringing it to public notice. The only thing that enables me to do it now is the persuasion that the experience we were called to pass through was not for our sakes only, but also “for His Body’s sake, which is the Church.” It seems clearly to be in the will of God that the course of His servants’ “ sufferings” should be “ fully known ” (2 Timothy 3:10 and 11) for the glory of His own Name and the strengthening of “all who will to live godly in Christ Jesus.” 

In this confidence I commit the record, however imperfect, to the blessing of Him Who in all our affliction was Himself afflicted, and the Angel of Whose Presence saved us. “Not unto us, oh Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory.”

I desire to express my grateful appreciation of the valuable help rendered by Miss Gates in my preparation of certain parts of the narrative.

Experience the inspiring journey of Gospel advancement in Jesse Page's 1892 Christian biography, "Amid Greenland Snows: The Early History of Arctic Missions." Follow the remarkable narrative primarily centered on the life of Hans Egede as he spreads the Gospel in the Arctic.

The history of Christian Missions often overlooks the Arctic regions, such as Greenland. However, I firmly believe that an examination of these pages will support the assertion that near the North Pole, there has been as devoted and heroic a commitment to the cause of the Cross as in the tropical zones of the Equator. While the missionaries there have been fewer and less renowned, they were individuals remarkably devoid of pretense, dedicated to consistently working on the tasks at hand. The true spirit of missionary work burned within them, and they faced incredibly challenging conditions. If patience is a hallmark of a genuine missionary, these individuals were exceptionally endowed with this virtue. In their journey, patience was not just a practice but an embodiment of their character. If one trait stands out in the study of their lives, it is their extraordinary perseverance of heart and purpose, even when, from a human perspective, the situation appeared utterly hopeless. Such individuals undoubtedly deserve to be honored and remembered.

Hans Egede, the principal figure in this present volume, was a man of such stamp and mold.
