Missionary John Horden: 42 Years Among the Cree & Eskimo (Audiobook)
In 1851, schoolmaster John Horden left Exeter with three weeks’ notice to bring the Gospel to Moose Factory—a tiny Hudson’s Bay Company post cut off by ice and forest. He and his wife endured storms that trapped their ship for weeks, then faced summers of swarming mosquitoes and winters plunging to forty-below as he mastered Cree, Ojibbeway and Eskimo in order to preach and translate Scripture in the language of the people.Over forty-two years he rode dog-sled hundreds of miles, built churches, print-shops and schools with his own hands on that frozen frontier. Through famine, flood, epidemics and near-fatal rapids he remained “faithful unto death,” completing the first Cree Bible before his final illness.Book originally written in 1894 by Augustus Buckland.Links Paperback 📖: Amazon Scroll Reader 📜: Listen on our siteChapters 📑(0:00) Introduction(1:14) 1 – The Boy’s Ambition(9:21) 2 – The Departure for Moosonee(18:15) 3 – First Labours Amongst Eskimo and Indians(25:34) 4 – In Journeyings Often(35:26) 5 – England Visited(40:31) 6 – Out-Stations(45:54) 7 – A New Responsibility(52:50) 8 – Pages from Bishop Horden’s Diary(1:07:30) 9 – Years of Trial(1:19:08) 10 – To England For The Last Time(1:27:41) 11 – Home Again(1:35:15) 12 – Closing Scenes

The Heroic In Missions: Pioneers In Six Fields - Augustus Buckland (Audiobook)
From Japan’s once-closed ports to Uganda’s fevered lakeshores, these six nineteenth-century narratives spotlight missionaries who traded comfort for Christ.

Living Water from the Fountain of Life - Richard Newton (Audiobook of Sermons for Children)
Richard Newton—whom Charles Spurgeon called “the prince of preachers among children”—was well known for his ability to communicate the truths of Scripture in a way that both children and adults could grasp. Each month, on the first Sunday afternoon, the congregation of St. Paul’s Church held a special service for children, known as The Children’s Church. During these services, the children would sit in the main area of the church, the regular order of worship was observed, and Newton would deliver a sermon prepared especially for them.Paperback 📖: https://amzn.to/3JBjZECScroll Reader 📜: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/living-water-from-the-fountain-of-life/Chapters 📑 (0:00) Introduction and Preface (2:41) 1 - The Pleasant Way (28:23) 2 - The Spider’s Example (An Anniversary Sermon) (52:28) 3 - The Marks of Ben-oni—Bring Sorrow or Joy to Your Mother?
