George Hunter — Apostle of Turkestan (Missionary Biographical Audiobook)
George Hunter’s life was one of unflinching devotion and solitary courage. For nearly four decades, he traversed the raw landscapes of Central Asia—through blinding blizzards, impassable mud, and scorching sands—carrying only the Gospel, a simple travel cart, and an unwavering faith. In partnership first with Percy Mather and later with fellow servants of Christ, Hunter learned the languages of nomadic tribes, brokered the exchange of rare Scriptures, and built humble homes of sun-dried brick in the heart of Urumqi. Even when political winds turned hostile, his handwritten journals and tireless journeys planted seeds that would bear spiritual fruit long after he departed. Yet behind the legend of the “aged preacher of Urumtsi” was a man whose greatest strength lay in prayerful discipline and single-minded purpose.🎧 Listen on Scroll Reader: scrollreader.com/audiobook/george-hunter-apostle-of-turkestan📖 Buy paperback: amzn.to/4jHXlYiChapters:(0:00) Introduction and Author's Note(0:40) 1 – Tortured for Christ(9:28) 2 – A Solitary Calling: George Hunter’s Journey to Turkestan(23:00) 3 – Solitude Across the Sands(34:37) 4 – Charting the Silk Road: Hunter’s First Survey(42:08) 5 – A Strategic Moment Lost(51:54) 6 – Surveyor of Souls and Sands(58:57) 7 – Convictions Uncompromised(1:06:40) 8 – Caravan Paths and Desert Perils(1:17:46) 9 – Faith Amidst Flames and Factions(1:26:47) 10 – When Two Paths Converged: Hunter and Mather(1:36:26) 11 – Crossing Tongues: Hunter’s Translation Quest(1:42:49) 12 – Painstaking Translation Work(1:48:53) 13 – Seventy-Five Days Through Ice, Mud, and Sand(2:07:51) 14 – Taking God’s Word to Every Corner(2:32:26) 15 – Hospitality on the Gobi: The Ladies’ Visit and Farewell(2:41:44) 16 – Forming a Church and Baptizing Believers?(2:54:28) 17 – Fever on the Frontier: Trials of the Turkestan Mission(3:03:37) 18 – Imprisoned for the Word: Hunter’s Trial in Turkestan(3:12:51) 19 – Encounter at Lanchow: Meeting the Granite Apostle(3:27:12) 20 – The Unfading Legacy of Two Pioneer Missionaries

William Colgate: The Christian Businessman and Deacon (Audiobook)
A biography written by William Wallace Everts in 1881. Revised in 2025 by Scroll Reader. Who was William Colgate? A Christian businessman who carried out his business as a steward of God. He was free from the temptations of greed and dishonesty that often come when a servant forgets his master and claims ownership for himself. His daily work was guided by a strong sense of duty that lifted him above the lower motives and methods common in business. His labor was a form of devotion, and his work was an act of worship.“Rarely have I met,” said Professor Harvey, “someone in whom religion was so deeply rooted and, if I may say so, made a natural part of life—an ever-present power. Though never lazy in business and always devoted to it, he was also fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Few men have learned so well the secret of ‘worship in work.’ He ran his business as if it were God’s business, and it never seemed difficult for him to shift from work to prayer or spiritual conversation. He always appeared to live in the Spirit, conscious of unseen realities. In my last conversation with him, not long before he passed into rest, he spoke about death and eternity with the same calm, natural tone as if discussing everyday matters.”Get paperback: https://amzn.to/3Gs7REqListen on Scroll Reader: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/william-colgate-the-christian-businessman-and-deacon/Chapters:(0:00) Start(0:21) Foreword (2:41) Introduction (20:02) Second Introduction (48:04) 1 - Ancestry (58:30) 2 - Business Career (1:06:44) 3 - Domestic Life (1:19:48) 4 - Christian Profession (1:41:43) 5 - Church Discipline (1:57:56) 6 - Church Work (2:21:54) 7 - Church Extension (2:43:01) 8 - Christian Missions (2:51:52) 9 - Christian Associations And Reforms (3:06:37) 10 - Ministerial Education (3:18:38) 11 - The Bible For The People (3:46:59) 12 - A Pure Bible (4:16:13) 13 - Character (4:36:31) 14 - The Translation

Worthy of His Name by Eglanton Thorne (Children's Audiobook)
What does it mean to be a gentleman? This question lingers in Gus’s mind after his father’s death. His father had always called him to be one—but what does that truly mean? Is it found in wealth? In seeking revenge, as his father once urged? Or is the truest gentleman the Lord Jesus, whose example we should follow?

The Reality of Prayer - E.M. Bounds (Audiobook)
The Reality of Prayer by Edward M. BoundsIn these pages, Edward M. Bounds invites you to behold prayer as the most exalted of all divine privileges—a sacred, royal communion with the Almighty. With a fervor reminiscent of Spurgeon’s own sermons, he paints life as a fleeting arrow, a mere breath drawn from God, yet assures us that prayer is the eternal bridge to that everlasting home. Here, the soul is called to humble supplication, to earnestly ask, and to boldly intercede—not merely for its own needs but for the salvation of all mankind. Bounds reminds us that every sincere plea, every whispered petition, touches the very heart of God, who delights in granting those who earnestly seek His will. Embrace this timeless treatise, and awaken to the resplendent power of prayer—a beacon of hope, a channel of divine grace, and the sure pathway to heavenly riches.Paperback 📖: https://amzn.to/43L9DtZScroll Reader 📜: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/the-reality-of-prayer/Chapters 📑(0:00) Introduction – by the editor, Homer W.

John Jasper: A Remarkable Preacher Raised from the Shadows of Slavery (Audiobook)
Let’s talk before you start this book.We want to tell you a few things that might help you decide whether to keep reading. These pages tell the story of one Black man—not to praise or criticize the entire Black race, but simply to focus on him. He had no distinguished ancestry and left no true successors, though many tried to imitate him. Some thought they were like him, but in reality, they were of a different and lesser kind.This man was Black, and if you cannot recognize greatness in dark skin, you may want to read something else. He was shaped by the habits and ways of the Old South, having lived forty years before the Civil War and another forty after. Though he grew remarkably as a free man, he never abandoned the speech, tastes, and manners of the days of slavery. He was a remnant of the past, untouched by the changes of the new era.The educated Black preachers of the time did not welcome him. He dismissed their learning as empty noise, calling it the new "ish." In return, they saw him as outdated, an embarrassment to the church and the ministry. Yet, for all their schooling, none of them ever gained the fame or accomplished the things that this uneducated, unpolished son of Africa did.▶️ Listen on Scroll ReaderPaperback:https://amzn.to/4iWvbbX📖 Chapters:(0:00) Introduction(10:03) 1 – Jasper Presented(20:52) 2 – Jasper Has a Thrilling Conversion(29:34) 3 – How Jasper Got His Schooling(37:04) 4 – The Slave Preacher(51:29) 5 – “Where Does Sin Come From?”(1:07:59) 6 – Jasper Set Free(1:18:08) 7 – The Picture-Maker(1:27:55) 8 – Jasper’s Star Witness(1:49:38) 9 – Jasper Glimpsed Under Various Lights(2:07:50) 10 – Sermon: The Stone Cut Out of The Mountain (Daniel 2:45)(2:27:10) 11 – Facts Concerning The Sermon On The Sun(2:44:13) 12 – The Sun Do Move(3:11:18) 13 – One Jasper Day In The Spring of 1878(3:44:20) 14 – Jasper’s Picture of Heaven
