1. Adoniram Judson: How Few There Are Who Die So Hard!
"Are you sure that God wants you to continue your life in this comparatively church-saturated land?

2. Alive to Wonder: Celebrating the Influence of C. S. Lewis
"In this fiftieth year since he died, I offer this little book as a celebration of the influence of C. S. Lewis in my life. I hope I do so in humility. I know I do so with profound thankfulness."
3. Andrew Fuller: I Will Go Down If You Will Hold the Rope!
"The Bible was always paramount: 'Lord, thou hast given me a determination to take up no principle at second-hand; but to search for everything at the pure fountain of thy word.' ... That is one of the main reasons why it is so profitable to read Fuller to this very day: He is so freshly biblical."
4. David Brainerd May I Never Loiter On My Heavenly Journey!
"Brainerd's life is a vivid, powerful testimony to the truth that God can and does use weak, sick, discouraged, beat-down, lonely, struggling saints, who cry to him day and night, to accomplish amazing things for his glory."
5. Disability and the Sovereign Goodness of God
"One of the reasons I believe the Bible and love the Bible is because it deals with the hardest issues in life. It doesn't sweep painful things under the rug — or complex things or confusing things or provoking things or shocking things or controversial things."
6. Doctrine Matters: Ten Theological Trademarks from a Lifetime of Preaching
"What the world needs from the church is our indomitable joy in Jesus in the midst of suffering and sorrow."
7. Good News of Great Joy: Daily Readings for Advent
"What I want most for Christmas this year is to join you (and many others) in seeing Christ in all his fullness and that we together be able to love what we see with a love far beyond our own half-hearted human capacities."
8. John G. Paton: You Will Be Eaten By Cannibals!
"I confess to you, that if I can but live and die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by Cannibals or by worms."
9. Love to the Uttermost: Devotional Readings for Holy Week

10. Martin Luther: Lessons from His Life and Labor

11. Preparing for Marriage: Help for Christian Couples
"Preparing well for marriage means asking each other all the hard questions."
12. Sanctification in the Everyday: Three Sermons by John Piper
"When Charles Wesley taught us to sing, 'He breaks the power of cancelled sin,' he was teaching the fundamental truth about how the cross and our battle with sin are related. The cross cancels sins for all who believe on Jesus. Then on the basis of that cancellation of our sins, the power of our actual sinning is broken. It's not the other way around."
13. Take Care How You Listen: Sermons by John Piper on Receiving the Word
"So take heed how you hear! Hear with spiritual ears, not just the ears on your head. And hear with an honest and good heart, not a deceptive and evil heart."
14. A Tribute to My Father: With Other Writings
"This is a fragment of the legacy of truth imparted to me by my father. The word imparted was no mere transmission of information. It involved a whole life of proclamation and demonstration."
