Book Description
Excerpt from Heroes of the Early Church These graphic sketches of the "Heroes of the Early Church" are the latest series penned by the distinguished author, whom Spurgeon fittingly called "The Prince of Children's Preachers." The sketches are in many respects the best work of the gifted man. As he ripened in saintship for heaven, his literary style became even more rich with the aroma of the gospel, and so more forcible, simple and crisp than in his earlier writings. The articles were originally prepared for The Youth's World, and were issued in that periodical. The revision and preparation of them for publication in this form has been an easy and delightful task. Indeed, so carefully did Dr. Newton prepare his copy for the press that little was required to be done beyond the omission of some repetitions of statement, necessarily incident to serial articles in a periodical. Dr. Newton had planned another series on the "Heroes of the Modern Church," to follow these, but was compelled by ill health to give up writing them. Yet he continued to work so diligently that the last article from his pen was written for the number of The Youth's World which appeared the month after his death.

Book Description
Excerpt from Short Studies of the Heroes of the Early Church If the heroic element lent a charm to the study of Old Testament characters, it must give an added interest to the study of these makers of the early Church, whose every-day life was so full of heroism for the cross of Christ, and who, with one exception, gave his life for the Master. It would have been interesting to carry out the plan of the Character Studies, as in the first book of the series; but, in order to make the setting clear, it has been necessary to con fine this book to sketches. Rather than stories, that in these studies of the heroes we might also give the history of the Apostolic Church.

Book Description
Excerpt from Short Studies of Old Testament Heroes The world will never cease to love the heroic, whether it is found xin man or woman, boy or girl. Even better is the fact that people are rapidly learn ing that heroes are not all of the same pattern, and that they are to be discerned in quiet scenes no less than in those of war and adventure. For a long time the Old Testament has been a wonderful book of heroes, because of the interest aroused by some of its characters, but the circle of these is growing wider, as the real spirit and work of others come to be known, so that now Abel, Amos, and Isaiah are felt to be heroic, along with David, Josiah, and Daniel. Then the great value of these and other characters of the Bible is that they are heroes for God and goodness, for right and for the true religion, and not merely for something that ends with this world.

Excerpt from Saints and Heroes: To the End of the Middle Ages Just about the time when Cyprian was born in Carthage, Perpetua and Felicitas amazed the people. Everybody was talk ing about it. Perpetua was twenty-two years old. Cyprian's father and mother must have known her very well. The two families belonged to the same high-born and wealthy society. They were all pagans together. But Perpetua had become a Christian. It was as if, in Russia, the daughter of a noble family should become an anarchist.

From Achilles to Christ

Book Description
"The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact." --C. S. Lewis In From Achilles to Christ, Louis Markos introduces readers to the great narratives of classical mythology from a Christian perspective. From the battles of Achilles and the adventures of Odysseus to the feats of Hercules and the trials of Aeneas, Markos shows how the characters, themes and symbols within these myths both foreshadow and find their fulfillment in the story of Jesus Christ--the "myth made fact." Along the way, he dispels misplaced fears about the dangers of reading classical literature, and offers a Christian approach to the interpretation and appropriation of these great literary works. This engaging and eminently readable book is an excellent resource for Christian students, teachers and readers of classical literature.
