"Professor Wilder-Smith's brilliant mind and extensive scientific training and research have not only been devoted to the service of mankind in general but has also been devoted to the service of God in particular. Utilizing his vast store of knowledge and unique and brilliant abilities to communicate, Professor Wilder-Smith has proclaimed the truth of God's creation and His sustaining grace through both the spoken and written word with tremendous effectiveness."
--Duane Gish
Vice-president,
Institute for Creation Research, San Diego, California
"It was an unforgettable experience to listen to his lectures on fundamental problems on the evolutionary doctrine and Biblical creation. His outstanding personality, his far-reaching knowledge and his unique talent to fascinate during lectures attracted many listeners throughout the world. In remembering Wilder-Smith, innumerable Christians are grateful to their Lord for this fearless witness who helped many to jettison pseudo-scientific ballast and to find access to the living Word of God. May our Lord grant that the mighty witness of Wilder-Smith may continue to reach many people through this present work even after his home-going, and that it may glorify the Creator of heaven and earth."
--Professor Dr. Dr. Theodor Ellinger
Rector of Cologne
University, Cologne, Germany

This MP3 contains some excellent testimony about the persecuted church and how
you may minister to our persecuted brethren, however it also contains
Protestants talking about celebrating one of the Popish holy days, specifically
Christ-mass, which no Christian can do without sin (see the free online

I John 4:7 (#18) Worldwide
Calvinistic Unity and Loving One Another (1997)
An amazing sermon which exposes all unity which is not based on truth (e.g. in
groups like Promise Keepers) as necessarily based on lies -- and as treason
against King Jesus! Defends the Reformation view of visible and covenanted
unity and uniformity from Scripture, and from pertinent quotes from Calvin
(during first Reformation), Henderson (the second Reformation architect of the
Solemn League and Covenant), and others. Exhibits how Reformed teaching has
always viewed the real schismatics (whether in the majority or minority) as
those who press "independent denominationalism" and as those who
tolerate a sinful multiformity -- against the national establishment of the one
true Reformed religion. Calvin and the Geneva Presbytery of his day even
counseled excommunication and exile for those that would not swear to their
"covenanted uniformity" in upholding the Geneva Confession of 1536 (cf. Calvin, Covenanting and Close
Communion by Reg Barrow).
Moreover, Price shows how our scandalous modern multiformists (which includes
the leaders of most so-called "conservative Presbyterian"
denominations today) teach and act in direct opposition to Christ's high
priestly prayer in John 17, as well as the high standard of visible unity that
will one day be attained worldwide (as seen in the prophetic words found in
Zechariah 14:9: "And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that
day shall there be one LORD, and his name one"). Furthermore, the portion
of this sermon dealing with loving the brethren is one of the most convicting
practical sections of a contemporary sermon that we have ever heard. Such
preaching is extremely humbling, calculated to exalt Christ and His truth, and
to drive sinful human beings to the throne of grace -- seeking everlasting
mercy and forgiveness in the only place that it can truly be found. In short,
Price calls us back to our first love (individually) and to the biblical
attainments of our
covenanted forefathers (corporately). It is unlikely that you will find modern
preaching much better than this.

Nation Shaking Reformation
Promoted
A classic sermon by a modern-day Puritan! Deals with the major facets of
national Reformation from the Old and New Testaments, as well as providing
historic examples of how and why God blesses this biblical pattern. Explains
the duties of the church, state and individual in bringing about national
covenanted Reformation. Includes notes on the importance of covenanting with
God (individually and corporately) and on the forthcoming covenant renewal (of
the Solemn League and Covenant) in Edmonton. Exposes tolerationism and
religious pluralism as sin, gives instruction on the "two sons of oil"
in Zechariah's prophecy, and provides direction (from the Lord's prayer as
expounded by the Westminster Divines in the Larger Catechism) on the kind of
prayer that changes the world, destroys the work of the devil, and honors and
glorifies God. Reformation eschatology also gets its due here. This sermon
should be a great encouragement to those that have been given the grace to see
the bigger picture regarding what God is doing in the world today -- and the
certain world changing Reformation that is to come during the prophesied
millennium!

The

* It is SWRB's
opinion that Ages has done an excellent job in making various Reformed works
available on CD, so much so that we also distribute a number of their CDs at
discounts. Thus, please don't make more out of our publishing this comment than
is warranted, as this is a comment we received from one of our customers and it
expresses his opinion. As for Ages' work, we rejoice whenever the truth is
published, whether through others or through SWRB (as we play only a very small
part in the revival of classic Reformation, Puritan and Covenanter thought that
is now taking place worldwide through God's marvelous grace). The publication
of the best Reformers and Puritans of the past is one of the greatest needs of
our time, as this extends the blessings that come through faithful preachers and
authors into our day and into the future. Lord willing, the growth in the
publishing of faithful works from the past will help stem the tide of the great
declension and unfaithfulness which we are now witnessing all around us, even
(sadly) among many churches that still call themselves "Presbyterian"
and/or "Reformed." So please pray together with us that our Lord will
multiple the number of faithful publishers and publications, and that He will
give many the heart to stand for the truth no matter the consequences (as He
has done for our faithful forefathers, who resisted Satan and sin unto blood
and even to martyrdom in many cases). -- RB.
"SWRB's
Puritan and Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of
the history and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is
remarkable not only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of
the works. Most seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works
available on these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation /
historical theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed
libraries!"

"I
just received your CD collection. One bit of advice: you should instruct your
customers to take about 1 week off just to peruse the tables of contents for
these CD's, followed by another week off, in order to recover from the
state of shock in which they will find themselves.
In
all seriousness, this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be
seen to be believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased
dramatically.
As a Ph.D. student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate
access to many of the same works for which I would normally need to access
through rare book rooms of theological libraries.
Thank
you for this labor of love. Thank you for making it accessible, both
financially and technologically. May the Lord richly bless you for this service
to his people."

library like no other, and has already paid great dividends not only in my own
personal worship and study, but in my teaching as well. I first balked at the
price, but after seeing the vastness of the material, I almost feel as though
I'm robbing you!
I
pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as
many ministers as possible."

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. Moore:
This
collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding accomplishment. There is nothing
like this available to the ordinary Christian on the whole face of the earth.
Now,
for the first time ever, ordinary Christians can have direct and near
effortless access to the very cream of Puritan and Reformed, as well as
Covenanter, literature.
These
books are often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically
linked and indexed for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig
into a simply staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic
material to technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation
itself ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most
couldn't read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able
to afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we
are without excuse!
And
the significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have
to wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy
these CDs while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second
Reformations were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's
grace, will grow from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary
one. What they used to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be
said of these CDs: they are "hissing hot"!

"This
side of eternity I'll never be able to repay the favor you have done mankind by
bringing these... CDs together.
The
first week of reading I grew more as a Christian reading those rich, pure
Gospel Commentators than I have in 18 years of Christian life. After reading some of
the Puritan CDs I have to get the Reformation set if it kills me. A fire is
burning within me. These... CDs are liable to start a revival fire unseen in
any generation... the Gospel in its pure form is seen in these... CDs.
Sir,
I cant say enough. What a treasure! I'll never be able to repay you this side
of heaven, but when we get there I am sure you will see the rich fruits of your
labor. God bless you for not being money hungry but wanting to see Christians
grow in the Lord... I love you even though we have never met, you have
helped me in my Christian walk tremendously with these... CDs.
I
am not bragging on the flesh, I am just giving honor where honor is due. The
Holy Ghost will take these CDs and light a fire unseen and unheard of. God
bless you all at Still Waters."

"Thank
you so very much for the CDs.
I am amazed at the quality and quantity of
the literature...
I
cannot imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men in
the earth today that is of such extensive, present, and enduring value as
this CD work is.
God
be praised that he uses sickly and weak men to forward his kingdom, that the
work may not be mistaken to be wrought by the might of men, but by his Spirit.
His strength is perfected in weakness."
