To the children of missionaries, who have unwillingly inherited the sufferings and rewards of their parents, this book is lovingly dedicated by one of them.Adoniram Judson, one of America’s first foreign missionaries, gave his life to bring the gospel to Burma—a land rich in tradition and steeped in Buddhism. He endured years of obscurity, sickness, imprisonment, and loss. Yet through it all, he pressed on.This book closes with a reflection not on what Judson accomplished in his lifetime, but on what God accomplished through him afterward. His death did not silence his witness. Instead, his example stirred missionary movements, inspired countless believers, and laid a foundation that still bears fruit. From churches across Asia to mission boards across America, Judson’s influence endures. Judson’s life shows that God’s greatest works often grow underground before bursting forth in power—and that no sacrifice for Christ is ever wasted.Listen on Scroll Reader: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/adoniram-judson-a-portrait-of-his-life-by-his-son/Paperback Book on Amazon: amzn.to/4mvlOlBChapters:0:00 Preface1:32 1 – Early Years21:13 2 – Consecration to Missionary Life31:07 3 – Voyage to Burma49:11 4 – Burma and Buddhism1:17:47 5 – Life in Rangoon1:44:26 6 – Life in Rangoon (Continued)2:07:50 7 – Life in Ava and Oung-pen-la2:26:08 8 – Life in Amherst2:41:42 9 – Life in Moulmein3:14:13 10 – Life in Moulmein (Continued)3:35:00 11 – Visit to America3:59:56 12 – Last Years4:21:29 13 – Posthumous Influence

Called “a battle-book” by those who first read her letters, Things as They Are plunges you into two years on the southernmost outposts of India’s mission field, where Amy Carmichael and her fellow “Band Sisters” bore witness to the dust of ancient customs and temple bondage.In candid dispatches she lays bare the physical trials—fevered nights, hungry days—and the spiritual warfare behind them, echoing Ephesians 6:12’s reminder that our struggle is “against the rulers…of the darkness.” These pages touch only the Dust of the Actual, yet point to a greater Energy at work—an unseen conflict in which Christ alone prevails.May her unwavering obedience and sacrificial love remind you that when the call of Christ meets the cries of the oppressed, no barrier—cultural or spiritual—can stand against the sweeping power of a heart fully surrendered to God’s redemptive purposes.Spotify 🎧: Listen on SpotifyPaperback 📖: https://amzn.to/3Z4KDL7Scroll Reader 📜: Read/Listen on Scroll ReaderChapters(0:00) Introduction(0:22) 1 – About the Book(6:28) 2 – Three Afternoons off the Track(29:23) 3 – Humdrum(43:03) 4 – Correspondences(55:18) 5 – The Prey of the Terrible(1:08:55) 6 – Missed Ends(1:33:56) 7 – “The Dust of the Actual”(1:57:14) 8 – Roots(2:16:03) 9 – The Classes and the Masses(2:30:21) 10 – The Creed Chasm(2:37:45) 11 – Caste Viewed as a Doer(2:49:15) 12 – Petra(3:00:25) 13 – Death by Disuse(3:13:48) 14 – What Happened(3:25:02) 15 – “Simply Murdered”(3:38:59) 16 – Wanted, Volunteers(3:53:10) 17 – If It Is So Very Important…?(3:59:06) 18 – The Call Intensified(4:26:58) 19 – “Attracted by the Influence”(4:44:26) 20 – The Elf(5:17:45) 21 – Deified Devilry(5:27:24) 22 – Behind the Door(5:43:11) 23 – “Pan, Pan Is Dead”(6:02:05) 24 – “Married to the God”(6:11:01) 25 – Skirting the Abyss(6:21:57) 26 – From a Hindu Point of View(6:44:57) 27 – Though Ye Know Him Not(6:57:22) 28 – How Long?(7:07:11) 29 – What Do We Count Them Worth?(7:28:11) 30 – Two Safe(7:35:22) 31 – Three Objections(7:56:20) 32 – “Show Me Thy Glory!”(8:23:17) 33 – Appendix: Some Indian Saints

Roland Allen challenges us to rethink everything we believe about missionary work. Drawing on the example of the Apostle Paul, he exposes how modern missions often suffocate new churches with foreign control, endless subsidies, and rigid programs. Instead, Allen calls us back to the model of the early church, urging us to trust the Holy Spirit to guide local believers rather than imposing distant strategies. He champions empowering churches to govern, finance, and grow themselves from day one, and he emphasizes releasing disciples to multiply rather than creating static congregations.You’ll discover why Paul’s methods sparked church planting that spread like wildfire and how adopting those principles today can unleash zealous, self-sustaining communities of believers all around the world.Paperback: https://amzn.to/3GQ9YSVListen on Scroll Reader: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/missionary-methods-the-apostle-pauls-or-ours/Chapters & Timestamps:(0:00) Opening(0:40) Introduction(4:52) Preface(6:28) Chapter 1 – Introductory(19:02) Part I – Preliminary Conditions(19:30) Chapter 2 – Strategic Points(41:27) Chapter 3 – Class(55:55) Chapter 4 – Moral and Social Condition(1:20:17) Part II – The Presentation of the Gospel(1:20:37) Chapter 5 – Miracles(1:41:27) Chapter 6 – Finance(2:10:25) Chapter 7 – The Preaching(2:42:20) Part III – The Teaching of Converts(2:42:37) Chapter 8 – The Teaching of Converts(3:10:07) Chapter 9 – The Training of Candidates for Baptism and Ordination(3:38:35) Part IV – Paul’s Method of Dealing With Organized Churches(3:38:52) Chapter 10 – Authority and Discipline(4:09:10) Chapter 11 – Unity(4:39:43) Part V – Conclusions(4:39:48) Chapter 12 – Principles and Spirit(5:01:41) Chapter 13 – Application(5:29:58) Chapter 14 – Epilogue: A Present-Day Contrast

Percy Mather (George Hunter's co-laborer) was a man of tireless devotion, known for his relentless work in translation and his quiet, unwavering witness for Christ. Though always busy, he used every spare moment to share the Gospel—not with fanfare, but with steady, genuine zeal.Without writing books on mission strategy or attending conferences, Mather quietly pioneered a different path. He didn’t rent halls or plant churches in the conventional sense. Instead, he lived among the people, fully present and approachable, never drawing a line between himself and those he served. His life was his message—humble, faithful, and powerfully clear.Originally published in 1935, written by Mildred Cable and Francesca French.Paperback on Amazon:https://amzn.to/43dmFi3Chapters(0:00) Author’s Note(1:17) Foreword(5:47) 1 – A Picture to Introduce Percy Mather(9:32) 2 – The Material(36:06) 3 – The Fashioning(1:14:45) 4 – The Call(1:47:21) 5 – The Job(3:51:34) 6 – Respite(4:13:15) 7 – Persistence(5:17:19) 8 – Through(5:35:07) 9 – Epilogue

George Hunter’s life was one of unflinching devotion and solitary courage. For nearly four decades, he traversed the raw landscapes of Central Asia—through blinding blizzards, impassable mud, and scorching sands—carrying only the Gospel, a simple travel cart, and an unwavering faith. In partnership first with Percy Mather and later with fellow servants of Christ, Hunter learned the languages of nomadic tribes, brokered the exchange of rare Scriptures, and built humble homes of sun-dried brick in the heart of Urumqi. Even when political winds turned hostile, his handwritten journals and tireless journeys planted seeds that would bear spiritual fruit long after he departed. Yet behind the legend of the “aged preacher of Urumtsi” was a man whose greatest strength lay in prayerful discipline and single-minded purpose.🎧 Listen on Scroll Reader: scrollreader.com/audiobook/george-hunter-apostle-of-turkestan📖 Buy paperback: amzn.to/4jHXlYiChapters:(0:00) Introduction and Author's Note(0:40) 1 – Tortured for Christ(9:28) 2 – A Solitary Calling: George Hunter’s Journey to Turkestan(23:00) 3 – Solitude Across the Sands(34:37) 4 – Charting the Silk Road: Hunter’s First Survey(42:08) 5 – A Strategic Moment Lost(51:54) 6 – Surveyor of Souls and Sands(58:57) 7 – Convictions Uncompromised(1:06:40) 8 – Caravan Paths and Desert Perils(1:17:46) 9 – Faith Amidst Flames and Factions(1:26:47) 10 – When Two Paths Converged: Hunter and Mather(1:36:26) 11 – Crossing Tongues: Hunter’s Translation Quest(1:42:49) 12 – Painstaking Translation Work(1:48:53) 13 – Seventy-Five Days Through Ice, Mud, and Sand(2:07:51) 14 – Taking God’s Word to Every Corner(2:32:26) 15 – Hospitality on the Gobi: The Ladies’ Visit and Farewell(2:41:44) 16 – Forming a Church and Baptizing Believers?(2:54:28) 17 – Fever on the Frontier: Trials of the Turkestan Mission(3:03:37) 18 – Imprisoned for the Word: Hunter’s Trial in Turkestan(3:12:51) 19 – Encounter at Lanchow: Meeting the Granite Apostle(3:27:12) 20 – The Unfading Legacy of Two Pioneer Missionaries

A biography written by William Wallace Everts in 1881. Revised in 2025 by Scroll Reader. Who was William Colgate? A Christian businessman who carried out his business as a steward of God. He was free from the temptations of greed and dishonesty that often come when a servant forgets his master and claims ownership for himself. His daily work was guided by a strong sense of duty that lifted him above the lower motives and methods common in business. His labor was a form of devotion, and his work was an act of worship.“Rarely have I met,” said Professor Harvey, “someone in whom religion was so deeply rooted and, if I may say so, made a natural part of life—an ever-present power. Though never lazy in business and always devoted to it, he was also fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Few men have learned so well the secret of ‘worship in work.’ He ran his business as if it were God’s business, and it never seemed difficult for him to shift from work to prayer or spiritual conversation. He always appeared to live in the Spirit, conscious of unseen realities. In my last conversation with him, not long before he passed into rest, he spoke about death and eternity with the same calm, natural tone as if discussing everyday matters.”Get paperback: https://amzn.to/3Gs7REqListen on Scroll Reader: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/william-colgate-the-christian-businessman-and-deacon/Chapters:(0:00) Start(0:21) Foreword (2:41) Introduction (20:02) Second Introduction (48:04) 1 - Ancestry (58:30) 2 - Business Career (1:06:44) 3 - Domestic Life (1:19:48) 4 - Christian Profession (1:41:43) 5 - Church Discipline (1:57:56) 6 - Church Work (2:21:54) 7 - Church Extension (2:43:01) 8 - Christian Missions (2:51:52) 9 - Christian Associations And Reforms (3:06:37) 10 - Ministerial Education (3:18:38) 11 - The Bible For The People (3:46:59) 12 - A Pure Bible (4:16:13) 13 - Character (4:36:31) 14 - The Translation

What does it mean to be a gentleman? This question lingers in Gus’s mind after his father’s death. His father had always called him to be one—but what does that truly mean? Is it found in wealth? In seeking revenge, as his father once urged? Or is the truest gentleman the Lord Jesus, whose example we should follow?

The Reality of Prayer by Edward M. BoundsIn these pages, Edward M. Bounds invites you to behold prayer as the most exalted of all divine privileges—a sacred, royal communion with the Almighty. With a fervor reminiscent of Spurgeon’s own sermons, he paints life as a fleeting arrow, a mere breath drawn from God, yet assures us that prayer is the eternal bridge to that everlasting home. Here, the soul is called to humble supplication, to earnestly ask, and to boldly intercede—not merely for its own needs but for the salvation of all mankind. Bounds reminds us that every sincere plea, every whispered petition, touches the very heart of God, who delights in granting those who earnestly seek His will. Embrace this timeless treatise, and awaken to the resplendent power of prayer—a beacon of hope, a channel of divine grace, and the sure pathway to heavenly riches.Paperback 📖: https://amzn.to/43L9DtZScroll Reader 📜: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/the-reality-of-prayer/Chapters 📑(0:00) Introduction – by the editor, Homer W.
