Charlotte Geddie: A Woman of Eminent Piety
Charlotte Geddie was called to be a wife, mother, and helpmeet to her husband James Geddie in almost unimaginably difficult circumstances in the South Seas. Joan Kingswood began to relate her remarkable testimony in the Summer double issue of the magazine. She writes that Charlotte's life of loving service proved to be a 'living introduction to the message of the gospel her husband proclaimed.' We read the first instalment of her stirring story on this week's Magazine Monday. Why not listen, be encouraged, and share it with a young woman you know who is eager to follow the Lord's call on her life?

A Taste of The Theology and Theologians of Scotland
The Scottish Church, or Kirk, has been blessed with an abundance of theologically-minded pastors and pastorally-gifted theologians in the centuries since the Reformation. Without a survey of these men and their works, however, it can be difficult to know where to start reading. James Walker's The Theology and Theologians of Scotland can help in this area. The fruit of his 1870–71 Cunningham Lectures on the subject, this is a book which will help the interested reader prize open the treasure chest of Reformed, evangelical Scottish theology. We read a couple of sections from Walker's first chapter, on John Knox and Thomas Boston, respectively. First published by T & T Clark, Edinburgh, in 1872, this new clothbound edition in a modern typesetting is based on the second (revised) edition of 1888. Readers will be interested to know that this edition includes seven sermons from the author, the Rev James Walker.

A Son of Encouragement (Part II)
Many of us struggle with a critical spirit, and a lack of patience with the foibles and weaknesses of others. In such a context, how we need the example and challenge of Barnabas the encourager! This Monday we continue our consideration of Barnabas and his gift of encouragement with the help of Cecil Siriwardene's 2007 article.

A Son of Encouragement (Part I)
Barnabas, the 'son of encouragement,' was a man willing to give generously, advocate for the misunderstood, and bear patiently with the weaknesses of others. Today's reading invites us to appreciate afresh those we know who have the gift of encouragement, and to seek to be encouragers ourselves.

Author Interview: God is Our Refuge and Strength
God is Our Refuge and Strength: 150 Devotionals Through the Psalms releases in October. Through brief, practical expositions of all 150 psalms, this volume proclaims, explains, and applies each one in light of the New Testament and the finished work of Jesus Christ the Lord. These reflections are designed to enlighten the mind, warm the heart, strengthen the hands, point to the Saviour, and encourage the soul. In this Friday Extra we discuss the book with its authors, William Boekestein and Rob Ventura. Among other things we ask the following: — Why write another book on the Psalms? — Why should we seek greater familiarity with this biblical book? — What do we do with the 'imprecatory Psalms'? — How can we read a Psalm with profit when we don't feel like we are connecting with it on an emotional level?
