Lisha watched the Indians drive stout stakes into the ground on both sides of the big anthill. He saw them uncoil the rawhide thongs. He knew what the scene before him meant. The ropes, the stakes-they could mean but one thing and relate to but one person: himself. Even when they stripped off his clothing, he made himself as one who does not care-who sees death spread before him and defies it. Opportunities in Franklin County, Minnesota, were limited in 1861. For the Rouse brothers, the West, with its promise of a free, adventurous life, had seemed the best option. But the world they were heading into was very different from the world they were leaving.Would they have continued west had they known of the uncharted territories, rugged cowboys, hostile Indians, and violent outlaws they would encounter along the way?The story of Elisha Rouse, one of the original settlers of Bozeman, Montana, reads like a work of fiction. But the story is all true. He learned to survive in the hostile environment of the western frontier. But he learned something else, something far more important, along the way.

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’.
