Author(s): William PennPublisher: Attic Books
Price: $2.99 (Sept 29-30)
Originally published in 1693, this profound volume of wise sayings was written by William Penn when the focus of the day was on observing moral principles for daily living.
This distinctive rendering is from a 1901 vintage edition which preserved the original style, character, and content of Penn’s work while helping resonate the truth and wisdom of a simpler age. The vital collection of serene reflections were the product of Penn’s life, faith, and Quaker heritage; one that would later involve his own suffering in prison and eventual poverty in living out his faith. The reader is challenged to apply these maxims to his or her own life, as well as to ponder deeply his or her significant place and purpose in God’s world.
Many of the principles and concepts that helped form a young American republic 50 years after Penn’s death were inspired by his own revolutionary leadership of the lands of Pennsylvania. Covering 165 subjects with over 850 specific teachings about friendship, discipline, conversation, religion and more, the book is a deliberate guide to our lives and interaction with others.

Author(s): Charles Spurgeon
Publisher: Attic Books
Price: $2.99 (Mar 11-12)
Many people get lost in their faith walk by using the map of their own understanding rather than the guidance of God. Spurgeon, one of Christianity’s most enduring influences, helps set the seeker on the path of peace. In his classic work, Advice for Seekers, Spurgeon offers Scriptural truths to help remove the obstacles so the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be grasped.
From his own experiences and his years of ministry, C.H. Spurgeon shares a gentle spirit of grace through his words to comfort and encourage those desiring to know the Lord.
Chapters inside this exquisite reproduction of a late 1890’s classic work include:
– Do not Try to Save Yourself
– Despised Ones Seeking Jesus
– Seekers Touching Christ
– Still no Light and Why?
– and 9 more
Apart from Biblical writers, Spurgeon is considered to be history’s most widely read preacher. Called the “prince of preachers,” he is said to have preached the gospel to over ten million people in his lifetime.

Author(s): Anna ReedPublisher: Attic Books
Price: $2.99 (Dec 19-20)
As modern revisionists seek to minimize or erase all traces of America’s Christian heritage, a very rare vintage biography sheds a remarkable light of truth on the life of our first president, George Washington! Originally translated into over 20 languages within a few years, the book was among the most widely-read biographies of Washington at the time.
In this special edition of a vintage 1842 original, readers will go beyond today’s simple footnotes of this great leader, to discover the man behind the title of “Father of Our Country.” From letters and personal accounts, a fuller and more accurate picture emerges of a man who lived by, and was led by, a deep and abiding faith.
Written by Anna C. Reed, niece of a signer of the Declaration of Independence who had met Washington personally and knew many of his close acquaintances , she authored this amazing work for the ASSU (American Sunday School Union) just prior to 1850. Originally translated into over 20 languages, the book was among the most widely read biographies of Washington at that time.
