The Bulletproof George Washington
By David Barton / Wallbuilders
George Washington's part in a July 9th, 1755, battle in the French and
Indian War is indisputably one of the most significant events of his
early years; his life literally hung in the balance for over two hours.
This dramatic event helped shape his character and confirm God's call on
him. During the battle, the 23-year-old Colonel Washington had ridden to
and fro on the battlefield, delivering General Braddock's orders to the
troops. Specifically targeted by the Indians because he was an officer,
Washington found himself in great peril. In fact, of the eighty-six
British and American officers, sixty-three were casualties; Washington
was the only officer on horseback not shot down.
This book will captivate you with the thrilling details of that
battle and of Washington's gratitude to God for His protection. You'll
read his personal account of the battle and excerpts from his letters to
his family where Washington tells them of God's deliverance. This
account of God's miraculous care of Washington and of Washington's open
gratitude for God's Divine intervention could be found in many student
textbooks until 1934; however, today few have ever heard it. This
edition, newly illustrated, will help restore some of our lost American
heritage. Softcover, 62 pages.

Wives of The Signers
By David Barton / Wallbuilders
This
book describes those women, who, alongside their husbands, experienced
the trials and triumphs of the struggle for independence and the
challenge of building a new nation. Who are they? Abigail Smith Adams,
wife of one president, mother of another, and perhaps the most
influential woman of her day; Annis Boudinot Stockton, wife of Richard
Stockton, whose home was looted and burned during the savageries of war;
Deborah Scudder Hart, wife of John Hart, who suffered for months as her
patriotic husband was bounded and hunted as a criminal;.....and many
more. This book highlights these great American women. Though they did
not confront the hail of bullets or cannon, though they did not
participate in conventions or congresses, they were at the heart of
every soul-stirring historic event. Wives of the Signers is a
book about the heart of America. |

Twelve Ordinary Men
By John MacArthur / Thomas Nelson
Contrary to popular belief, we do not have to be perfect to do God's
work. Look no further than the twelve disciples whose many weaknesses
are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Jesus
chose ordinary men - fisherman, tax collectors, political zealots - and
turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from utter
uselessness. Join John MacArthur as he draws principles from Christ's
careful, hands-on training of the original twelve disciples for today's
modern disciple - you! |

John Wesley, Men and Women of Faith Series
By Bethany
God needed a man like John Wesley for a particular time, a specific
place and a special purpose. Patiently He worked with this chosen
instrument to awaken, convict and redeem a nation. God breathed on his
weakness and abilities alike, giving him a hunger and thirst for
holiness which would not be denied. Criss-crossing his country an
incredible quarter of a million miles astride a horse, he preached at
thousands of outdoor evangelistic meetings. In his own pulpit, Wesley's
pastoral and teaching ministry filled the pews and spilled over to other
congregations, eventually unifying into a strong church body. |

Heroes of the Faith: Billy Sunday
By Barbour Publishing
By 1880,
baseball had taken America by storm. Into the galaxy of new athletic
stars came an Iowa farmbou, Billy Sunday, whose blazing speed earned him
a job with one of the top teams in baseball history-the Chicago White
Stockings. But the prestige was no match for the strains of a simple
Christian hymn upon the night air. Drawn to a revival service, Billy
committed his life to God. Soon, nothing topped his joy of bringing
others to the Lord-and he gave up his baseball career to become a
compelling, innovative preacher.

their meals one prayer at a time. Never, never, did any of the orphan
children go without a meal. This biography for young readers explores
