Originally published in 1955, John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied was reprinted dozens of times over the years.

In 1915, a promising young baseball player from Waynesboro, Va. traded in the prospect of a major league career for a life of medical missions in China. The soon-to-be doctor, Lemuel Nelson Bell (July 30, 1894 - August 2, 1973), felt the urgency of God's call and embarked on a 25-year adventure among foreigner-fearing Chinese peasants, bandits, and nobility. His selfless work and compassion quickly moved him from yang gui-zi ("foreign devil") to Zhong Ai Hua ("the Bell who is lover of the Chinese people") in the eyes of those he served. The remarkable story of Ruth Bell Graham's father will grip your heart and inspire trust in the God who is always faithful to those who trust in Him. Discover how this humble servant inspired and blessed so many - including his son-in-law, evangelist Billy Graham - through his wisdom and courageous faith. 国外宣教士在中国的经历、对中国的贡献，一直是段尘封的历史，以致我们多数人想起他们来，都只有抽象空洞的印象。然而实际上，他们怀着对基督和中国的爱远离家园，许多人在这片大地上奉献了自己的一生。宣讲福音、创办学校、建立医院、照顾孤苦，这些事若没有人传说，后人永远不会知道。 钟爱华医生从无到有，在中国的清江浦建起当时世界上最大的长老会医院，从医院的行政工作到手术台上的一次次抢救，他无不亲身参与；内有人才、器材短缺之患，外逢战火、土匪肆虐之忧。因着对神的爱的无限信赖，靠着宣教士和祷告小组的同心祈求，他们一一度过。 他对传福音也始终怀有巨大热情，抓紧一切机会向病人宣传那位能救人灵魂的主，凭着他的信心、威望和使人亲近的个性，许多中国人领受了福音。他去监狱讲道，亲眼看见基督是怎样为自己预备了许多饥渴的心灵。此外还有许多与他同工的人，他们一同劳苦，却没有来得及看见劳苦的果效。 我们或许会以为，宣教生活必定只有苦楚艰难，宣教士们必然成天板着脸，因为自己做的是大事。可钟爱华让我们看到，平安和喜乐能穿透战火，在主里面任何事既是小事也是大事。他生性开朗幽默，善开玩笑，深得当地人和病人们的喜爱。他和妻子一道让自己的家成为当地最舒服的待客之家。他们的儿女在艰难的环境下度过了健康快乐的童年。钟爱华的生命使人大开眼界，感叹主恩之丰富。 宣教士的故事，是与当地人民一起写就的故事，是关于爱的故事，是"虽至于死，也不爱惜性命"的现实版。他们曾在我们的家园上默默生活、奉献，今天我们所获得、所享有的，有他们的一分血泪和欢喜。这是一章不该忘记的历史，这是一片不能忘怀的深情。 本书流畅、生动、详实，富有故事性，是一部感人的传记作品。

The Knowledge of the Holy, by popular evangelical author A.W. Tozer illuminates God's attributes--from wisdom, to grace, to mercy--and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. A modern classic of Christian testimony and devotion, The Knowledge of the Holy shows us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, understand God more deeply, and experience God's presence in our daily lives.没有认识至圣者，我们就进一步失去了敬畏感和上帝的同在感。我们失去了敬拜的灵性，以及回到里面、与上帝相遇、在安静中敬拜上帝的能力。当一介凡夫，有了把神当神、让主作主的真信仰，就能够以天上的光芒照亮人间，并且以永恒的真理切入时间。陶恕在《智慧的开端》中，用22个章节带我们认识至圣者的属性。他对上帝属性的定义，就是上帝以任何方式所启示出来的一切关于他自身真实的事情。本书充满了陶恕对神各面品格的认识和经历，以真诚敬拜者的生命表现出来。完全没有神学八股的言论，也非以优美委婉之词吸引人。他在每章开始的时候，都会先向至圣者敬拜祷告，之后开始理性的叙述，将至圣者的威严慈爱诉诸笔下。正如他说："上帝是一个位格，像人一样，只要我们的心灵预备好了去经历那些奇妙的事，我们就会不断地增进与上帝的亲密关系，对他有更多的认识。那使圣经闪闪发光的上帝的荣耀，一旦降临到我们生活内在的世界里，就会更新我们对上帝的认识"(第二十三章)《智慧的开端----认识至圣者》是陶恕的巅峰之作，也是教会历史上的经典作品。于1961年正式出版，截止2009年，已经连续再版数次，销售50万册。

Central to God's character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God's holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don't quite know what to do with words like "awe" or "fear." R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christians to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

"What's going on?" I asked Palongpong as I sat sipping coffee with friends. "There are two men with guns outside, and they want to shoot someone!" "Who?" I asked. "You!"

Christian Character Formation is formatted and written according to James Houston's teachings in Asia. Houston writes that "character" means "morality and personality," and it is "a permanent mark imprinted according to the mold." The more Christians allow God to mold their life, the more their character will reflect Him. Houston explains that six qualities affect the impression a Christian leaves on others: temperament, character, consciousness, love, practice and holiness. In Christian Character Formation, he dives deep into each of these six areas. Also included at the end of the book as an appendix is Houston's article "Exploring the Continent of Loneliness." This book is the needed reminder all Christians need to continually put their trust in their Father's hands, to all Him to mold us into the image of Christ. 又是一本基督徒品德的教导书籍？如果你是这么想的，那你可错了。这本书里谈的，不是鼓励你快快起来追求优秀的德行。它当然也包含了这个层面，但那只是它的一小部分。它真正要跟你探讨的话题，比这个更加有趣，也比这个更加"美好"。 本书的作者候士庭告诉我们，"品格"一词在英文中源于印刷业的用语，指的是"按照模子印出来的一种永存的记号"。其实即便在中文里，"品格"本来就兼具"品性"与"人格"两方面的含意。这让我们知道：一个人的品格，势必与这个人的人格、性情、品质、德行息息相关；甚至在很多的时候，也与他/她为人的个性和做人的格调有关。 现在你明白了吗？这本书想要跟你探讨的是一个人身上所应有的特性；更具体地说，是一个基督徒身上所应有的特性。一个基督徒之所以是基督徒，是从他身上的哪些特性上反映出来的呢？候士庭认为，这些特性必须包含六个方面：气质、品格、良心、情怀、操练、圣洁。这就是本书的1-6章，也即是本书的全部内容。在每一章里，候士庭都会对一个方面进行阐释和探讨。举例来说，第一章探讨的是基督徒身上的气质应当是怎样的？怎样可以更好地去培养和提升它？ 当你读完全部6章，你或许会意外地感到自己的灵命和信心都和之前不一样了。原因很简单，此时的你已经更加明白：基督徒为什么是基督徒，他们身上有什么东西是与其他人不一样的。候士庭的文字谦和而优美，却有明辨道理、坚固人心的果效。同时，通过这本书你也会欣喜地发现，有哪些属天的特性已经在自己身上非常成熟；当然，也可能会发现还一些属天特性不够鲜明、仍待长进。这些都不要紧，程度虽然不一，其本质却是一样的美好，我们只需要学会更好地把它们展示出来。 话不多说，自己身上的美好的东西，留给你自己去品味和发掘。

From interaction with their peers to the instruction and correction that they receive at home, children interpret their experience from a worldview that seeks to answer their fundamental questions: Who am I? What do I exist for? Where can I find joy? We need to provide our children with a consistent, persuasive, biblical framework for understanding the world God has made and their place in it. Instructing a Child's Heart is essential to Shepherding a Child's Heart. The instruction that you provide for them not only informs their mind; it is directed to persuading their hearts of the wisdom and truthfulness of God's ways. Impress truth on the hearts of your children, not to control or manage them, but to point them to the greatest joy and happiness that they can experience delighting in God and the goodness of his ways. 继百万家长喜爱的教养经典《子女心，父母情》之后，泰德-特里普潜心积淀了13年，推出又一力作《陶塑子女心》。两部经典均贯彻了作者一再强调的理念，即牧养心灵比纠正行为更重要。 《子女心，父母情》侧重于引导父母从重视外在的顺服转向重视子女的心灵。 《陶塑子女心》强调父母要在问题发生之前进行教导，将真理铭刻在儿女的心版上，帮助子女建立以上帝为乐的世界观。无论文化中充斥着多少怀疑论，无论社会怎么喧嚣尘上，这个世界观都能让孩子确信《圣经》足以解释与回应生活中的一切。

The hidden seeds of the Christian renewal in China today include the outstanding Chinese Christians in Salt and Light 2, a dozen new life stories with lively anecdotes and photographs. These reformers made lasting contributions that shaped modern China. Working out of the limelight in their professions, they had quiet but powerful influence on early twentieth-century civil society. Motivated by their faith, they modeled essential virtues. This series helps recover a lost Christian heritage linked closely to a legacy of East-West cooperation in an earlier global era. 本书中介绍的这些人物在国家遭受外国侵略之际，致力于维护中国社会，坚忍地回应时代挑战。他们的价值观和他们所服务的机构，为重建中国社会以促进战后中国复兴于世界民族之林作出了贡献。本书介绍的这些人士不仅以他们自己的言语和行动，更以他们的人格品德祝福了他人。我们希望，他们的事迹能够对今天的人们有所启发和激励。

人们能透过我们的微笑、言语、友谊、生活方式、不"丧志"的行善、社会事工等等认出我们所"代言"的是谁。在这个渴望爱、欢乐、和平、诚信、正直的世界中，我们所要努力表达的个人信念正是让我们通过服侍穷苦的有需要的人，使我们的心更加贴近上帝的心意。行动不是特定的日子才有，行动天天都要有。People can recognize who we "speak" through our smiles, words, friendships, lifestyles, good deeds that do not "lose our minds," social ministry, and so on. In a world that longs for love, joy, peace, integrity, and integrity, the personal conviction we strive to express is precisely what brings our hearts closer to God's will by serving the needy. Action does not happen on a specific day, but every day.

One man of God is about to change the face of faith forever. He is regarded today as one of the most influential figures in the history of the world. But to those who knew him intimately, Martin Luther was more than just the leader of an important historical revolt; he was a man of vision, commitment, and passion. determined to serve his Lord and purify the degenerate world church. From the outset, Luther's enemies-the corrupt ecclesiastical and political rulers of his day-joined forces to stop the spread of his radical ideas, ideas that would shake the church and the world's greatest political powers to their core. But God mercifully allowed Luther to resist the armies of the world, armed only with the sword of His Word. Now you can witness Luther's stand against Charles V and his surprising romance with former nun Kate von Bora, view the social changes that led to the Reformation and see how God equipped one extraordinary man to stand strong-though it often meant standing conspicuously alone-in the midst of the raging Storm.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿......¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
