How do you teach young children about being born again (John 3:3), and conformed to the image of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:29)? This is the children's story of Umiko, a daughter born in the ugly town of Minikui, just below the beautiful mountain. She always thought she was ugly, and her parents even told her she was. But one day the Emperor's son Kioshi came to town to choose for himself a bride. But Umiko thought she was too ugly to ever be chosen by the Emperor's son, and the town was filled with daughters far more lovely than she was. And so she hid herself behind a mask. This is the first fully illustrated children's book by Puritan Publications teaching the doctrine of conversion to young children. It also includes a Bible study section at the end of the work for adults to aid them in teaching their children the major themes of the book. C. Matthew McMahon, Ph. D., Th. D., is an American Calvinist Reformed theologian, founder and chairman of A Puritan's Mind, and founder of Puritan Publications.

This new work explains the relationship between God's love and the reprobation of the wicked, aiding the reader to understand more simply the view of the Reformation's brightest Reformer, John Calvin (1509-1564). In this analysis of Calvin's view, McMahon explores Calvin's thoughts concerning reconciling God's love and the damnation of the reprobate. He explains Calvin's doctrine of accommodation, centering on understanding the difference between the will of God's decree and the precepts of God's word. Also analyzed is Calvin's view of God's province as Supreme Ruler over creation, Calvin's view of hardening the reprobate's heart, and his view of the Gospel call when the reprobate are called to repent and believe the Gospel. McMahon is an American Calvinist Reformed theologian and adjunct professor at Whitefield Theological Seminary. He is the founder of A Puritan's Mind and Puritan Publications which publishes Reformed and Puritan works from the 17th century.

This work is the final available sermon compilation of Mr. Cawdrey. His first sermon is "The Saints Shall Judge the World," from Revelation 20:4, "And I saw seats, and they say upon them, and judgment was given unto them." It is so unique that a Christian may never hear it preached in today's modern age. His second sermon is on the topic of hypocrisy called, "A Close Hypocrite Discovered," from Luke 18:11, "God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican." His last sermon is against Antinomian sentiments called, "The Lawfulness of Doing Good out of Hope of Reward," springing from Hebrews 6:19. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

The purpose of this twofold work is to increase in the knowledge and grace of Christ, to deny the self and the world, and to fashion the Christian to the course by which they may become pleasing in the eyes of God. In the first part, Byfield deals with the wicked man. He demonstrates the signs of those openly wicked, those who are hypocrites, and then how faith may be found and adoption to eternal life attained. In the second part he deals with the godly man. He covers a general division of those things which demonstrate a godly man, as well as signs of humiliation, true faith, and those graces that the godly need while on their journey to heaven. After all this, he concludes his treatise with the way godly men must get assurance, and keep it.

This volume is a compilation of Newcomen's most rare sermons. The sermons reflect a life dedicated to experiencing and understanding the bible, spiritual truth, and experimental Christianity. His first sermon, "The All-Seeing Unseen Eye Of God" is a fantastic exhortation to holiness from Hebrews 4:13, "But all things are naked and open unto the eyes of him, with whom we have to do." It is one of the best puritan sermons in print on this subject. God knows every person who ever was or will be, all their works, all their speeches, and all their thoughts, and such things are always present in the mind of God. Also included are "The Craft and Cruelty of the Church's Adversaries," "Jerusalem's Watchman," "Walking Worthy of the Gospel," and a funeral sermon on Acts 13:36.

This work is one of Pagitt's most famous and was originally written in over 400 pages. This "cliff note" version describes the most important aspects of various heresies. Pagitt succinctly covers heretical groups such as the Jesuits, Socinians, Arminians, Anabaptists, Pelagians, Seperatists and others. At the end of the work is attached a public "ordinance" which the magistrate enforced on heretics of the day. Added to this volume is a very important sermon on what the bible teaches concerning heresy. Sedgwick explains the nature of heresy, the danger of heresy, and then concludes with three uses in application.

John Cotton (1585-1662) was an English Reformed minister and colonist. This work a foundational reformed document on singing psalms, both from a biblical and exegetical perspective. It follows the same biblical and theological ideas that the Westminster Assembly determined that all Reformed churches in the world have a duty "to praise God publicly, by singing of psalms together in the congregation, and also privately in the family." He covers how to sing with a lively voice (clearing all objections that might be against this), who ought to sing psalms (individuals or the whole congregation), whether women may sing as well as men, whether carnal men may sing, as well as godly Christians, the manner of singing, and objections against the practice. This work ought not to be missed to study what God says in determining the manner in which sinners are to approach him in worship.

This work by Philips covers the important topic of the nature of the church. Philips explains that salvation is only found in the Church. He demonstrates what the Church is; by what means men are added to the Church; the Author, or Efficient cause of this addition; the time and continuance of that work; and the happiness of those that are added to the Church. His text comes from Acts 2:47, "And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved." In this treatise he covers three branches to define the church, and then explains how the church ministers the salvation of God through Jesus Christ by the ministry of the Word, faith and baptism. This is an excellent work which is also a polemic against the Roman Catholic Church as well as heretical sects. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

In this work Ambrose covers the doctrine of regeneration in three tiers. First he covers the words of Christ in John 3:3, "Except a Man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." He explains the order the Spirit sets down in the necessity, generality, manner and issue of the new birth. Secondly, he explains the doctrine in relationship to how the new birth changes a Christian towards their duty under the Law in mimicking the character of God as a new creation. In the third part, he demonstrates the behavior of a man in the new birth outlining the soul's preparation, God's part and man's part in the new birth, closing with Christ, and growing in Christ. This is an important treatise on a foundational topic since being religious is not the same as being regenerate.

In this treatise on suffering for Christ, Vincent expounds Rev. 2:10, "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer...and be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." The world and devil are out to persecute the Christian and to stop the witness of the Gospel. All of this persecution is for the suffering and trial of the saints which is ordained by God for specific purposes. This is the perfect volume for someone going into the missionary field to bring the Gospel to people that are outwardly hostile to Christ. It is also an excellent companion volume for the Christian who is outwardly persecuted for his faith in his home, his work or local community. This is not a scan or facsimile, and has been updated in modern English for easy reading. It also has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

In this timely evangelical work that should be shared with everyone, Vincent states that "sin will have a very bad end." Original and actual sin will send a man, woman, or child to hell unless they are converted by Jesus Christ. Vincent explains Romans 14:10, "We shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ." He covers the Judge (God), those who will be judged (all men), things which are to be judged (all thoughts, actions and deeds) and the certainty of judgment. Here he gives application and a warning: turn to God, or be turned into hell. This is not a scan or facsimile, and has been updated in modern English for easy reading.

In following the Apostle Paul, who would lay no foundation except that of Jesus Christ, Arrowsmith introduces the fundamentals of the Christian faith in this updated and made easier to read theological work. He masterfully knits together a chain of theological principles teaching and explaining the doctrines that defined the Reformation. Such principles include man's blessedness which comes from God through Jesus Christ; the nature of Holy Scripture; the existence and attributes of God; the doctrine of election and reprobation, and finally the providence of God.

This treatise by Vincent was originally a series of sermons that covered 1 John 2:15, "Love not the world." Vincent then updated these sermons and turned them into tract form in order to publish this work at the request of the hearers who needed to be reminded to study this vital doctrine. Vincent covers 1) defining "the world," 2) "what the love of the world" is, 3) how Christians may love the world and how they ought not, 4) various words of caution and application, as well as exhorting those who do love the world to see their sin, and 5) various remedies against such sin. He also encourages believers to be steadfast in loving God more than they would or could love the world.

In this work Bond expounds Isaiah 45:15, "Verily, thou art a God that hides thyself, O God of Israel the Savior." He shows how God is a "hidden" God, and that in strange circumstances, mysterious circumstances, God shows Himself to be the only Savior. Bond teaches that God's great salvation of His people, especially their rescue from Babylon, are commonly carried on in a mystery. Such a "mystery" is necessary, 1. For the Lord's greater glory; 2. For His people's greater good; and 3. For his enemies' greater confusion. This is not a facsimile or scanned document. It is newly typeset with an active table of contents for electronic versions.
