Dare To Be A Daniel
$22.99
The empowering words of this chorus often reverberate in my mind: “Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone, dare to have a purpose firm, dare to make it known!” In a postmodern age of relativism, moral mediocrity, and low expectations, Daniel inspires and challenges us to advance higher in our spiritual quest and advancement. The purposefulness in his heart to do the utmost for the cause of God encourages us to aim higher, and spurs us on to excellence. Exiled Daniel lived in the scrutinizing public eye, surrounded by power struggle and political intrigue, yet without any hint of compromise or corruption. Even his envious enemies, who thoroughly investigated his life, “could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful” (Dan. 6:4). The only charge they could accuse him of was his devotedness to God.
Numerous books have already been written about Daniel’s prophecies, but this book focuses more on Daniel’s character as an empowering model for the final remnant. Prophecies, however, will be discussed as they relate to his exemplary life of being God’s beautiful showcase in the world. Daniel is certainly a true representative of Christ, and an excellent model for the final remnant to emulate. Repeatedly, we hear others testify of his “excellent spirit.”
By beholding Christ, he became transformed into His image. He was a sparkling star shining to the end, because he basked in the brilliant rays of the Sun of Righteousness. His unassailable integrity, formidable courage, staunch loyalty, resolute faithfulness, and his sterling character is what should characterize God’s final remnant. May our study of Dare to Be a Daniel, in the context of God’s prophecies and promises, inspire and transform us to become His faithful remnant, as we await Christ’s soon coming, May we be the true fulfillment of Daniel’s parting words: “Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever” (Dan. 12:3).

Samuel Rutherford : The Law, The Prince And The Scribe
$11.99Add to cartWhen Samuel Rutherford picked up his pen he changed lives, maybe even across continents. What he wrote influenced the American constitution but where his real power and passion was felt was in the letters that his warm pastor’s heart wrote to the people of his parish.
His book Lex Rex was burned on a pyre but his notes of comfort and wisdom were cherished by those he cared to guide and counsel.
Accused of treason he died of illness before there was time to make him a martyr and on his gravestone today, just west of the Bell Tower in St. Andrews Cathedral are engraved the striking words that sum up his life, “Acquainted with Emmanuel’s Love’.

John Chrysostom : The Preacher In The Emperor’s Court
$11.99Add to cartThere was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on. This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians cared little for the poor.“It is madness to fill your cupboards with clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth – emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually led to his exile and death.
