2025 · Reformation Heritage Books
Whether you’re meeting them for the first time or returning with questions, this is the indispensable guide to the lives and works of the Puritans. If your impression of the Puritans comes from grim portraits, high collars, and joyless sermons, Meet the Puritans will surprise you in the best way. Behind those caricatures lies a warm, Christ-centered spiritual tradition shaped by people who loved Scripture, treasured grace, and sought to glorify God in every part of life. The Puritans took life seriously—because they took God seriously. Grace and guilt, love and sacrifice, heaven and hell weren’t abstractions to them; they were urgent realities. Today, when conviction of sin is dismissed as gloom, when earnest faith is pitied, and when diligent obedience is labeled as legalism, we desperately need their witness. If you hunger for depth, for holiness, for real communion with God, open these pages. Let these lives challenge you and these writings nourish you. Take the time to meet the Puritans—you’ll find in them deep truths, godly examples, and an exalted Christ. This New Edition Includes: 45 New Biographies for a total of 190 English and American Puritans, seventeenth-century Scottish Presbyterians, and Dutch Further Reformation divines. 278 New Summaries of Puritan works, with annotated bibliographies of modern reprints. Comprehensive Revision of the entire previous edition. 200 New Titles Added to the select bibliography of secondary sources. New, Expanded Glossary plus an updated, expanded list of Puritan publishers. The definitive reference for engaging the Puritan tradition—praised by pastors, scholars, and serious readers alike. Substantial enough for study, accessible enough for devotional use, Meet the Puritans is that rare kind of reference book that invites you to actually read it. If you’re serious about reading the Puritans—or simply looking for a clear starting point—this is the place to begin.
2008 Catholic Press Association Award Winner! This magnificent new publication distinguishes itself from others by its comprehensiveness, and in its coverage of Eastern, as well as Western, saints. The book contains approximately 7,000 Saints and Blesseds. Entries are placed in alphabetical order according to name. Where there are numerous saints with the same name (for example John) these are now listed chronologically. The entries include date and place of birth and death as well as family background, education, activity for which the saint is remembered, and whether he/she is a patron saint. In order to be comprehensive, even possibly mythical saints are included 'Barbara, Christopher and Katherine of Alexandria, because their stories have been so important in art, literature and popular devotion. This is the most complete and accurate Dictionary of Saints available.
This is not the type of narrative one normally expects to find about the Mexican War. It is in a rare class because it is concerned with the Mexican War adventures of a single company of soldiers from Perry County, Alabama, who left the comforts of home
