We have two exciting projects taking place here at Matthew Poole Publishing. First of all, Matthew Poole's massive and masterly Synopsis Criticorum is now being made available in English for the first time. For further information on the Matthew Poole Project, visit www.matthewpoole.net. Genesis and Exodus have been completed, and are available for purchase (see below). Also, the first volume of Revelation (chapters 1-7) has been completed, and is available for sale. The second volume of Revelation (chapter 8-14) will be available in January. Stay tuned.... Second, Julia McNair Wright's children's biographies of the Reformers are now available in print, individually (as readers designed for a child's hand and eye) or in an omnibus edition. Mrs. Wright has a rare ability to communicate with children, in a way that is both captivating and memorable. These little books are highly recommended.

Print: $9.00 [25% off the $12 retail price] The words of Mrs. Wright well capture the spirit of this children's biography: "The world and the Church need a good shaking just now to wake them up to the work of the Lord, and where is the Luther strong in Jesus to do it? He may be some boy reading this book. God knows." Follow Martin Luther as he courageously stands for the truth as it is in Jesus.

Print: $9.00 [25% off the $12 retail price] I have three small children; Mrs. Wright holds their attention like no other author. In this little biography, Mrs. Wright uses the life of John Calvin to illustrate and inculcate the rare virtue of moral courage. Calvin's life was a 'sharp struggle with the errors of His Church', so moral courage was a must. 'Calvin was brave; he had moral courage, the best courage of all. He was not afraid to do right for fear he should be laughed at. He was afraid to sin, afraid to offend God, and he was not afraid to say so.' A worthy lesson indeed!--Dr. Steven Dilday

Print: $9.00 [25% off the $12 retail price] John Knox was the firebrand that ignited the wildfire of Reformation in Scotland. Knox’s love of Scripture-truth, coupled with his desire to see that truth embraced by men and women in his homeland, filled him with dauntless courage in contending with the many and fierce enemies of the Reformation. Knox’s bold stand for the truth as it is in Jesus had an impact that is still felt to the present day.
|
 |
Print: $12.00 Mrs. Wright began her series on the Reformers with this biography on George Wishart. Wishart was an early Scottish Reformer, little-known now, but important in his own day. He was a mentor to John Knox in the work of the ministry, and an enduring example of self-sacrificing love for Christ and unreserved commitment to his Master's cause. Wishart was instumental in the lighting of the Gospel-torch in Scotland, a torch which shines to the present day.

Print: $12.00 William Tyndale loved children, especially the children of his native England. It was his heart’s desire to give the children of England the best of all possible gifts, the Word of God in their own language. This gift was expensive; Tyndale suffering poverty, exile, constant threat of arrest, and ultimately martyrdom, but Tyndale would stop at nothing until he had placed a Bible in the hands of the English plow-boy.

 |
Print: $12.00 Little Dick Baxter was a self-indulgent little boy, but thanks be to God that Jesus Christ makes all things new, and useless things useful. Follow Dick Baxter as Jesus Christ teaches him the meaning of self-sacrifice, and calls him to a lifetime of useful service in the advancement of His Kingdom.

Print: $12.00 From "John Huss": “[The teachings of Huss] spread into Germany, and among the French, English, and Germans living at Prague; and…became to all these nations like seed sown in good soil, which sprung up by and by in Calvin, in Luther and in Coligny…and in Wishart, Knox and Tyndale….” What a legacy!
|
 |
Print: $12.00 The work of building and reforming the Church requires all sorts of men. From "Melanchthon": “Luther said, ‘I am rough, stormy and warlike, born to fight monsters and sins and tear and plough up the ground. Then comes Master Philip, softly and gently sowing seed and coming down like a mild spring shower. Rich are the gifts our God has given him.’” Rich indeed! Let us not overlook this great Reformer who came to be known as the “Teacher of Germany”.

Print: $12.00 The Church is in need of men to preach the gospel with courage and heart-felt conviction. With this in view Farel’s example is worthy of remembrance. From William Farel: “William did not preach as if he were sleepy, as if he were idle, but he preached with his whole heart. Through the pleasant fields and villages of France, among the Alps near Gap, along the streets of Paris, on church steps and by shrines, rang William Farel’s cry, ‘Come to Jesus—Jesus only!’ ‘Burning Farel—never afraid!’ was what Beza called him.”

Print: $12.00 From Renee: “The King of France sent men to Renee to say to her, ‘You had better leave this place and go away. We do not want you here; you are in our way. You can stay if you will be a Roman Catholic; but if you will not, go!’ I told you Renee was brave, and not afraid to do right. She held up her head and made answer: ‘These towns are mine; I will live in them. These people are mine; I will take care of them. The Reformed religion is the true one, and I will never deny it. The Bible is the word of God, and I will read it every day.’ Oh how noble a thing is moral courage! We hope that every little child will try to have it.”

Print: $12.00 From Queen Margaret: “I have told you of many great men who helped to keep the Church pure, but there have been great women also who have aided in this good work. From the days of Moses there have been good women who loved and kept the truth…. I shall now tell you of one noble woman who lived in France some hundreds of years ago…. She was a queen…[but] she loved the Church best and tried to please God. I shall show you how this woman [Margaret] used her power, her money and her talents for good.”

 |
Print: $12.00 In advancing the Kingdom of God everyone has something to contribute, men and women, adults and children, preachers and queens. Gaspard Coligni was a French soldier, a patriot, a man of courage and conviction, a devout follower of Jesus Christ; he was used by God to advance the Gospel of free grace, both in France and in America. This is a soldier's tale.

Print: $29.99 Julia McNair Wright (1840-1903) was a well-educated woman, a clergyman's wife, a mother, and a prolific writer. She published two sets of short children's biographies known as the True Story Library. This particular set, the Reformers (twelve books in one), was published in 1870 and includes the lives of George Wishart, John Knox, William Tyndale, Richard Baxter, John Huss, Martin Luther, Philip Melanchthon, John Calvin, Margaret of Navarre, Renee of Ferrara, William Farel, and Admiral Gaspard Coligni. "The words written by Mrs. Wright certainly apply today as much as they did in the 19th century. 'The world and the Church need a good shaking just now to wake them up to the work of the Lord, and where is the Luther strong in Jesus to do it? He may be some boy reading this book. God knows.'"--R. Andrew Myers (editer of the Matthew Poole Project [www.matthewpoole.net])
