| Edited by Dale Ahlquist 'Hilaire Belloc called “Lepanto� Chesterton's greatest poem and the greatest poem of his generation. But not only have English classes neglected this masterpiece of rhyme and meter, History classes have neglected the story of the pivotal battle upon which the poem is based.' This book brings together the poem, the historical background of the famous battle, a riveting account of the battle itself, and a discussion of its historical consequences. The poem is fully annotated, and is supplemented with two interesting essays by Chesterton himself. Well-known Chesterton expert, Dale Ahlquist, has gathered together all the insightful commentaries and explanatory notes. Here is the story behind the modern conflict between Christianity and Islam, between Protestant and Catholic Europe, and the origin of the Feast of the Holy Rosary. A fascinating blend of literature, history, religion and romance!' '“A valuable reference book that is'also a great read!� ' "Therese Warmus, 'Literary Editor, Gilbert Magazine 'G.K. Chesterton was one of the most prolific and renowned literary writers of the 20th Century. Dale Ahlquist, author of G.K. Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense, is the President of the American Chesterton Society.' |

| Christian tradition demands basic sustenance for all as a human right. Yet contemporary capitalist economy makes no such demands, and the free market is not designed to provide basic sustenance. As Western Christians, how ought we to solve this conundrum? Kent Van Til maintains that the gulf between the two creates a need for an alternative system of distributive justice.Van Til looks at the realities of life in a free market system, including illuminating examples from his own experience in Latin America. He considers how contemporary capitalist economy has become the process that guides the distribution of goods around the world, and he examines the incapability of such a system to meet basic human needs in either ethics or economics.Once he exposes the problem, Van Til has no qualms about offering a solution. Drawing heavily on the ideas of political theorist Michael Walzer and nineteenth-century theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper, he proposes an alternative system of distributive justice, equalizing the claims to both burdens and benefits. Bridging biblical theology, political theory, economic history, and social theology, Less Than Two Dollars a Day issues a wake-up call to all who profess to "love their neighbor as themselves." |

| What you see is not always what you get _ and this true story of a man and his dog is no exception. Woven just under the surface of this simple parable, Keller presents profound spiritual truth. It is the story of Lass, a worthless animal thought to be untrainable, who becomes a magnificent and valuable sheepdog _ not terribly unlike how God9s love can transform our worst characteristics into blessings that serve to further His Kingdom. Allow yourself to see Biblical truth in this classic tale of what can happen when you yield to the Master. |

| Before Jesus was a teacher and a healer–before his life changed the world–he was a carpenter. Woodworking was his occupation for most of his time on earth, and the years he spent in Joseph’s shop clearly shaped his message and ministry. Now, by gaining an understanding of first-century carpentry, you can revolutionize your faith through the discovery of surprising insights into Christ’s life. The ministry of Jesus was spiritual carpentry. He rebuilt broken people and constructed a new world. His workmanship still amazes all who put themselves in his hands, and his principles for constructing a solid life are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago. In Lessons from the Carpenter, you can sit as an apprentice at the feet of this amazing master carpenter. And learn firsthand how he builds and rebuilds beautiful lives meant to last forever. |

| Lessons from the Vineyard starts with Jesus' statement in the first verse of John 15. Each of us has our own vineyard to care for. As we explore the new teachings that John opens to us, we have a changed concept of the inter-relation between believers in the church. The novel of the early Christian life of John Mark paints the scene around John 15. As that tragic night before the Passover unfolded, John Mark's footsteps echo through the life of every believer in Jesus Christ. |
