No one would assert that today’s church is healthier than before liberalism took root. Dr. Machen’s courage to fight is well-documented here. May we learn from him and continue the battle. Soft 195p #630-195 $13.00 Death of a Salesman Arthur Miller Judging present-day classics is hard, yet this title has sold 11 million copies over its fifty years. It’s got the goods on the human condition, all packed into a day in the life of one self-deluded, self-promoting, selfdefeating soul, connecting earthy realism and abstraction in its portrayal of hard times and universal themes. Soft 139p #435-228 The New Foxe’s Book of Martyrs See description on page 34. Soft 411p #305-320 $13.99 Old Man and the Sea Ernest Hemingway This tale of an aged Cuban fisherman going head-to-head (or handto-fin) with a magnificent marlin encapsulates Hemingway’s favorite motifs of physical and moral challenge. This book led Hemingway to the 1954 Nobel Prize and revived his then floundering career. Soft 128p #305-473 $12.00 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain See description on page 36. Soft 232p #435-041 $7.00 Frankenstein Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Animal Farm George Orwell This book tells the story of a group of animals who take over a farm. The book’s real intention is to bring out the faults of the communist leader, Joseph Stalin. A fun read on the surface and very telling in the subplot. Soft 114p #411-020 Hollywood has not done this classic tale justice. Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers, seems hardly to need a recommendation. A wonderful and still timely work of fiction. Soft 256p #435-375 $4.99 $12.00 Postmodern Times Gene Edward Veith Gulliver’s Travels Jonathan Swift See description on page 47. Soft 352p #435-440 $4.99 $13.00 How Should We Then Live? Francis Schaeffer The Autobiography of Charles G. Finney Charles Finney The Second Great Awakening, circa 1799–1830, continues to have a profound impact. The church was deeply affected. Finney was the key personality. His influence is hard to over-emphasize. His errors are hard to fathom. Contrasting his teachings with the biblical text is a great dialectic exercise. Soft 230p #305-121 $14.99 Francis Schaeffer, a great twentieth-century theologian pondered the fate of declining Western culture. Herein he analyzes the reasons for society’s condition and presents the only viable alternative: living by the Christian ethic, acceptance of God’s revelation, and total affirmation of the Bible’s morals, values, and meaning. Soft 288p #165-383 $19.99 Veith introduces the reader to the foundational assumptions of postmodernism, the prevailing philosophical construct in the intellectual community today, discussing the dire consequences for a culture which has abandoned age-old definitions of truth and meaning. Soft 256p #165-040 $15.99 Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen The Killer Angels Michael Shaara A timeless classic in literature, this book is one of the most famous books in the world.

Schwarzkopf said that this was “The best and most realistic historical novel about war” he had ever read. Reading about the past is rarely so much fun as on these pages. A superb recreation of the Battle of Gettysburg. However, its real importance is the insight into what the war was about and what it meant.
