Seven Years in Sierra Leone: William A. B. Johnson (Audiobook)
William A. B. Johnson’s mission in Sierra Leone stands as a living testament to God’s transforming power. In this unvarnished account of seven arduous years on the edge of the Dark Continent, one man’s life becomes a beacon amid despair. Called to a field where hope was scarce and suffering abundant, Johnson’s journey echoes the sacred promise: “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.”Through personal trials and the relentless hardships of a mission marked by poverty, disease, and cultural barriers, he discovered that even in the midst of darkness, divine light could prevail. His own heart testified, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness,” a truth that turned barren soil into a garden of renewal. In a land where spiritual blindness was the norm, his steadfast faith proclaimed, “Light is sprung up,” illuminating lives long forgotten.The author, Arthur T. Pierson, observed that “in the past twenty years, I have encountered no other work that so vividly captures the transforming power of God’s grace in the midst of human despair.” His words remind us that this is not merely a biography but a living record of faith—a singular testament of a servant whose life and labors continue to speak to the heart of every seeker of truth.Listen on Scroll Reader:https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/seven-years-in-sierra-leone-william-a-b-johnson/Chapters:(0:00) Introduction (3:48) 1 - Made Meet For The Master’s Use (28:03) 2 - The Land of The Shadow of Death (46:14) 3 - Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth (1:06:11) 4 - Sound of Abundance of Rain (1:23:59) 5 - First-Fruits Unto God (1:42:45) 6 - Floods Upon The Dry Ground (2:06:16) 7 - The Regions Beyond (2:34:00) 8 - In The Furnace of Affliction (2:53:08) 9 - The Cloud of Witnesses (3:10:07) 10 - At The Desired Haven (3:28:20) Appendices (3:30:54) Appendix I (3:36:52) Appendix II (3:36:52) Appendix III

The Power of The Pulpit: How Preaching Transforms the World - Gardiner Spring (Audiobook)
Audiobook of the 1849 book, The Power of The Pulpit: Thoughts Addressed to Christian Ministers and Those Who Hear Them by Gardiner Spring. This version has been revised in 2024.This book, The Power of the Pulpit, stands among such classics as Lectures to My Students by Charles Spurgeon and Preachers and Preaching by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, offering profound insights and timeless wisdom for those called to proclaim God's truth.Gardiner Spring writes: "The pulpit claims no physical power; its strength is in its moral influence. Its conflict is not one of weapons, but of truth against falsehood. Its victories do not involve subduing others but lifting them up. Its power goes beyond the battlefield, the court, and the Senate. It surpasses them all. Evaluate them fairly and consider which holds the widest influence and occupies the most space in shaping society. While secular forces like armies and governments hold power, the pulpit has had a deeper and more lasting impact. Who did more for England—statesmen like Edmund Burke and William Pitt, or preachers like George Whitefield and Robert Hall? Who contributed more to Scotland—warriors like Robert Bruce, or ministers like John Knox and Thomas Chalmers?"Paperback book: https://amzn.to/3CM6sY3Listen on Scroll Reader: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/the-power-of-the-pulpit/Chapters: (0:00) Introduction (1:37) 1 - The Fact Illustrated: The Pulpit Has Power (18:01) 2 - The Same Subject Continued (28:08) 3 - The Same Subject Continued (43:16) 4 - The Broader Influence of the Pulpit (55:32) 5 - The Consequences of Silencing the Pulpit (1:04:58) 6 - The Truth of Which the Pulpit Is the Vehicle (1:31:59) 7 - The Living Teacher (1:55:12) 8 - The Divine Authority of the Christian Ministry (2:19:31) 9 - The Pulpit Associated With the Power of God (2:38:35) 10 - The Great Object of Preaching (3:02:20) 11 - Ministerial Diligence (3:35:15) 12 - All Efforts Directed Toward the Pulpit (4:00:08) 13 - The Preacher’s Interest in His Immediate Subject (4:21:13) 14 - Ministers Must Be Men of Prayer (4:36:31) 15 - The Personal Holiness of Ministers (4:57:28) 16 - The Example of Ministers (5:23:32) 17 - The Responsibility of Ministers (5:38:40) 18 - Raising Up Men Into the Ministry (5:46:13) 19 - Ministry Compared With Other Professions (6:20:12) 20 - The Fitting Education for the Christian Ministry (6:45:09) 21 - The Financial Support of Ministers (7:08:47) 22 - Prayer for Ministers (7:20:25) 23 - The Consideration Due to the Christian Ministry (7:34:13) 24 - The Responsibility of Enjoying the Christian Ministry

The Life of William Carey—Shoemaker and Missionary (Audiobook)
William Carey (1761–1834), often called the "Father of Modern Missions," was a humble English cobbler who became one of the most influential Christian missionaries in history. Despite limited formal education, Carey was driven by an unshakable passion for God’s glory among the nations. Inspired by Christ's Great Commission, he believed that the gospel must be proclaimed across the globe, challenging the complacency of his contemporaries with the bold statement: "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God."

The Life of Susannah Spurgeon (Audiobook)
Written in 1903 by Charles Ray. He writes in the preface: It has been felt that a short biography of Susannah Spurgeon would be appreciated by the many thousands who have received help through her Book Fund, and its auxiliary branches, and by the still greater number of persons who have been incited to increased efforts in the service of Christ through her inspiring efforts in the service of Christ through her inspiring example.
Mrs. Spurgeon was indeed a wonderful woman, and if this little book arouses interest in the Book Fund where hitherto its unique work was unknown, and encourages invalid Christians and others to take up some work for their Master by showing them the power of the weakest, it will have achieved its purpose.
