HarperCollins, Publishers

Now A Major Motion Picture Starring Robert Carlyle and Kiefer Sutherland‘Waking from a dream, I suddenly realized where I was: in the Death House–in a prison camp by the River Kwai. I was a prisoner of war, lying among the dead, waiting for the bodies to be carried away so that I might have more room.’When Ernest Gordon was twenty-four he was captured by the Japanese and forced, with other British prisoners, to build the notorious ‘Railroad of Death’, where nearly 16,000 Prisoners of War gave their life. Faced with the appalling conditions of the prisoners’ camp and the brutality of the captors, he survived to become an inspiring example of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds.To End All Wars is Ernest Gordon’s gripping true story behind both the Academy Award-winning film The Bridge on the River Kwai starring Alec Guinness and the new film To End All Wars directed by David Cunningham.

Biblically speaking, a “saint” is a true believer in and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. However, there have been those men and women sprinkled throughout the Church’s history whose lives have been more radiant and their works more abundant than the average Christian—these were saints who lived saintly lives.As our fallen culture forms their heroes from a world that will soon pass away, let the people of God hold before themselves those worthies who lived in this world but were not of this world. May we be possessed and controlled by the same Spirit who abode in and shaped these former Evangelical Saints.The author of this volume, Ernest Gordon (1867-1956), selected a variety of individuals who were renowned for their Christian character. Whatever their sectarian distinctions, each possessed a vibrant love and loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ. Each one was a child of the truth, as it is found in Jesus Christ. Each one cultivated a warm affection for their brothers and sisters in Christ. Each one sought—like their Lord when on earth—to seek and to save the lost. Each one believed in the soon return of the Lord Jesus. They believed what they did, and lived the way they did, because each had undergone a genuine personal conversion.These forty-seven biographical sketches should stimulate each reader to know Christ more clearly, to love Him more dearly, and to follow Him more nearly.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
