Helen Roseveare : On His Majesty’s Service
Original price was: $8.99.$7.99Current price is: $7.99.Add to cartHelen Roseveare qualified as a doctor, packed up her life in England and set off to be a missionary in the Belgian Colony of the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo). She went there to set up hospitals and rural clinics and train national nurses to work in them. Her work often took Helen on long journeys through dense forests on roads that would make a fairground ride seem tame!
After Congo became an independent country Helen’s service was interrupted by the Simba Rebellion, during which she was assaulted and held captive for several months.
After some time of recovery Helen went back to the renamed ‘Zaire’ to serve the Lord by working with the people there. In the years that followed she established a nurses’ training college in the hope that the nurses, midwives and health workers who trained there would spread out through the vast northeast region of the country, taking the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ with them.
Since returning to the UK, Helen has travelled the world speaking about her experiences and been an inspiration to thousands of people.

Life Of Arthur W Pink (Large Type)
Original price was: $29.00.$26.95Current price is: $26.95.Read morePink’s biography, first written by Iain Murray in 1981, is here revised and enlarged with the benefit of new material, including some of Pink’s own re-discovered manuscripts. It is the heart-stirring and compelling story of a strong, complex character ? a ‘Mr Valiant-for-truth’ who was also a humble Christian. In 1922 a small magazine ? Studies in the Scriptures ? began to circulate among Christians in the English-speaking world. It pointed its readership back to an understanding of the gospel that had rarely been heard since the days of C. H. Spurgeon. At the time it seemed as inconsequential as its author, but subsequently Arthur Pink’s writings became a major element in the recovery of expository preaching and biblical living. Born in England in 1886, A. W. Pink was the little-known pastor of churches in the United States and Australia before he finally returned to his homeland in 1934. There he died almost unnoticed in 1952. By that date, however, his magazine was feeding several of the men who were leading a return to doctrinal Christianity, including Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Douglas Johnson (founder of Inter-Varsity) and, in book form after his death, his writing became very widely read across the world.
