Mary Pride in The Big Book of Home Learning, vol. 3: [Keizer] . . . neither overloads the student nor skips over anything important . . .

 7000 Shall Remain

 The Romance of Protestantism by Deborah Alcock
The Romance of Protestantism addresses one of the most damaging and (historically) effective slanders against the Reformed faith, which is that it is cold and doctrinaire. What a delight to find a book which documents the true warmth of the Protestant soul. I recommend this book highly.

 John Calvin: Genius of Geneva
by Lawrence Penning
A Popular Account of the Life and Times of John Calvin
Penning shows the Life of Calvin against the turbulence, religious unrest, and intellectual ferment of the times, when Europe stormed with Reformation and Counter Reformation, and traces the incredible full life and work of the man who was not only the greatest of the of the sixteenth century Reformers, but who was the greatest man of his age. Here we see too, the man Calvin: a man of infinite tenderness as well as of great temper; one who despised money for himself, but who thought it very important when counseling a friend entertaining thoughts of marriage.

 Unity of the Church by Thomas M`Crie
G. Van Rongen in Una Sancta: There is a parallel between the Scottish circumstances of those days and the situation in church life here in Australia, in The Netherlands, in Canada, in the United States, and in South-Africa, where correspondence or oral discussions are taking place between different church groups. . . Although he belonged to a Church that could be called a split-off-from-a-split-off, M`Crie was deeply interested in Church unity. . . Therefore we may be able to learn something about the unity of the Church from the actual text of M`Crie's book.

 Fifty Years in the Church Of Rome by Charles Chiniquy
The Unabridged Reprint of the Revised and Complete Edition of 1914
Charles Chiniquy, noted author of Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, was converted to Jesus Christ after serving in the Roman Catholic priesthood for twenty-five years. As a priest he earned the confidence and love of the people and special marks of approbation and favour from his superiors (including the Supreme Pontiff). For reasons drawn from the Word of God he withdrew from the Church of Rome, publicly renouncing her distinctive dogmas. As a faithful minister of the Gospel he suffered many trials at the hand of the Adversary, narrowly escaping death on several occasions. As a soldier of the Cross he warred a good warfare for the King of kings and Lord of lords. In his ninetieth year Charles Chiniquy peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, after faithfully serving "Forty Years in the Church of Christ."

 James Chalmers: His Autobiography and Letters by Richard Lovet
An unabridged reprint of the Fifth Edition of 1903
James Chalmers, the missionary, was a remarkable man from every point of view. His personality attracted every one who met him. The mere narrative of his actions and experiences reads like a romance. Hence it is not surprising that in the course of a few months three large editions should have been exhausted.One gratifying feature has been the hearty welcome accorded to the book by all sections of the Protestant Church, and by all kinds of papers in the press of Great Britain, the Colonies, and the United States. Papers that rarely devote a line to missionary intelligence have exhorted their readers to get this book ‘because it is more interesting than any novel ’ and the official organs of bodies as widely sundered in some respects as the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, the Church Missionary Society, the United Free Church of Scotland, and the Baptist Missionary Society, have urged their readers to study this volume, and from it refresh their missionary knowledge and missionary enthusiasm.

 Abraham Kuyper by Frank Vanden Berg
A Biography
Abraham Kuyper was one of Holland’s foremost leaders in politics, education, and the church from 1865 to 1917, a period of over 50 years. His influence is still felt today in his native land and in many other countries.
Kuyper is unique in that he carried on parallel careers in separate major fields, both as a thinker and as a doer. He carried a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other, for he was both a builder and a battler. His followers loved him with warm, undying devotion, while his enemies hated him as they hated no one else.
This biography, which is aimed at the general reader, gives us a running account of Kuyper’s 83 years on earth. It outlines his personal history and sketches the background whenever the scene shifts to a new phase in Kuyper’s many-sided career.

 The Church Preserved Through Fires by S.G. Hur
A History of the Presbyterian Church in Korea
Rev. G. Van Rongen wrote: This book was written by the right person. Dr. Hur became the minister of the Korean Presbyterian Church of Sumoonlo on November 14, 1962. He must have had some special interest in Church history. It was therefore not strange that in the year 1970 he was appointed as professor of Church History at the Korea Theological Seminary at Busan.
. . . I am pleased to recommend the reading of this book. It gives a clear picture of the impressive work of our Lord in Korea. In great detail Dr. Hur describes the wondrous way in which the Saviour led His church to freedom and therewith to being of benefit to Korea's national life.

To use Sikkel's words, "We Christians have the calling to proceed, to explore the way, if possible to clear the way, and in love to bring to our fellowmen the witness to the way of God. We Christians must believe that God lives, and that His grace is able to triumph over the spirit of evil. And in faith and with zeal, we must prayerfully look to the victory."

 A Theatre in Dachau by Hermanus Knoop
In the concentration camp of Dachau the God of all grace did wonders of grace by His Word and Spirit every day. Oh, it was indeed a dreadful time for me that I spent there, and yet it is not at all a hollow phrase when I say that I would for no amount of money have missed this time of my life, since it was so unspeakably rich in grace. I saw God there. The Lord was in this place. It was a house of God and a gate of heaven.

 My Path to Liberation
by Douwe Van Dijk
Reflections on My Life in the Ministry of the Word of God
J. Bruning in Una Sancta of August 7, 2004: . . . In short, Rev van Dijk provides you with a realistic picture of the Church and its struggles, and encouragement to deal with current issues in a Scriptural and Church orderly manner. . . . I learned much from this book. Although written in a personal and easy style, it is a treasure for (future) office bearers and very educational for all who love the church. From time to time we hear the phrase "we have a rich Reformed heritage". This book definitely conveys some aspects of this heritage and will enrich you; it will also arm you.

 Mandate Maintained by H. Van Tongeren
The Liberation of 1944 in a Nutshell
1. Which assembly in the Church has been endowed with the highest authority?
The consistory.
2. Why is the consistory the highest assembly of the Church?
Because the Lord Jesus Christ officially constituted the jurisdiction over the congregation in the consistory.
3. Where is this found in Holy Scripture?
Acts 20:28, addressed to the elders at Ephesus reads as follows: “Thus take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to pasture the congregation of God, which He obtained by His own blood.”
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens: and whatever you will bind on the earth, will be bound in the heavens, and whatever you will loose on the earth, will be loosed in the heavens.” —Matthew 16:19

 The Challenge of Being Reformed Today
Edited by Johannes Mulder
Speeches and Discussions on The Attraction of Evangelicalism by Gerhard H. Visscher and The Beauty of Being Reformed by Jelle Faber
Is it still considered a privilege to be Reformed? Why do evangelical churches attract many Reformed believers to visit their services or join them? It can not be denied that many Reformed churches have seen serious Christians leave their ranks to join evangelical or Baptist congregations. That begs the question: Is the Reformed faith missing something essential? What is in fact the difference between Reformed and evangelical? Can we learn something from each other?
