Edward Dennett:
Born in 1831, Edward was brought up as an Anglican and later became a Baptist minister. While abroad, after an illness, he came into contact with the "Brethren" and took on the teaching of Christians gathering to the Lord's Name alone. He passed into the Lord's presence in 1914.
Daniel the Prophet

William Kelly:
William Kelly (1821-1906) was an outstanding classical scholar in his generation, preacher, teacher, editor of several influential religious magazines and of John Nelson Darby's "Collected Writings", and a prolific author in his own right. He was a major figure in the late nineteenth century return to basic biblical teaching usually known as the Brethren movement, often seen as the cradle of dispensationalism. A Canadian contemporary described him as "second only to Mr Darby in knowledge of the Truth, and first in ability to state the Truth clearly". A frequent lecturer, he subsequently revised and published many of his lectures in book form. His familiarity with the original languages of the Bible led to well-researched expositions of both Old and New Testament books, which were widely read and highly regarded by Christians in his own time, and still today. With a genius for exposition, he combines scholarship and spirituality so that his readers gain a real sense of his unrestrained love for the Lord of whom the inspired pages of scripture speak.

God's Inspiration of the Scriptures
ISBN: 978-0-901860-51-4; Paperback; 484 pages; £18.75
ISBN: 978-0-901860-56-9; Hardback; 484 pages; £29.75
For anyone who ever doubted the authority of the Bible or that it was given by direct inspiration of God Himself, this book is a must.
It exhibits with unanswerable faith and proof the perfection of Divine revelation. It considers the great subject of the Inspiration of the Bible under the main headings of Divine Authority, Apostolic Doctrine, Its Uniformity, The Human Element and Divine Design. The latter topic, which occupies the major part of the book, consists of an introduction to each book of the Bible in turn, demonstrating the evidence of its inspiration, and relating it to the inspired themes of the whole. The author's purpose in writing the book was to present "the positive proofs that God speaks in it (the Bible) to every conscience and heart, more particularly of Israel in the Old Testament, and of the Christian in the New". He shows us that "one directing Author presides over each several part, imparting a special character to it, and at the same time causing all to contribute to the common purpose of revealing His counsels of glory and His ways of grace, while fully making known the weakness or the wickedness of the creature in resisting His will and doing its own." William Kelly's desire was that this work should be of help to "the spiritual understanding of all who value the Bible from beginning to end."
Lectures on the Church of God
ISBN: 978-0-901860-50-7; Paperback; 244 pages; £10.50
ISBN: 978-0-901860-55-2; Hardback; 244 pages; £21.75
The book has been described as "a Brethren ecclesiology". It considers six aspects of the Church of God: formed as the body of Christ; accepting the direction of the Holy Spirit; responsible to Jesus as Lord; engaged in worship, remembrance and prayer; using gifts; and receiving practical resources daily in faith. Accepting the absolute authority of the Word of God, he opens up what the Bible has to say on each of these topics. Getting to the heart of the matter, in a logical way, he challenges every Christian to consider the practical implications for their communion and conduct as members of the Church of God.
Charles Stanley:
Born in a Yorkshire village in 1821 and orphaned at four years old, Charles had a rough childhood. At eight years old, he was told: "You will either be a curse or a blessing to mankind." At 14 he gave his heart and life to the Lord Jesus and from that day on became a blessing to thousands. He passed away in 1888, but his written ministry is still valued today.
