Thomas Boston wrote "The Art of Manfishing" as a 22 year old probational preacher awaiting assignment to a parish. In January of 1699, he read Matthew 4:19 ("Come follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."). He wrote down his thoughts while meditating on the passage, and the result is this classic book on evangelism. First published in 1773, this book shows Boston as a man filled with concern for the lost around him. He wanted to be a Manfisher. May reading his work stir the same desire in you.

"Hypocrites Deficient in the Duty of Prayer". In this sermon, Edwards explains that some people who are unconverted can display the external signs of being a Christian, and can even have regular secret prayer life for a short while. But in the long run, they will fall away from private prayer. Unconverted hypocrites will not have a regular prayer life. This sermon will encourage you to carefully consider your own conversion and its fruits as displayed in your prayer life. This text is in the public domain.
In the undated pamphlet "Thirty-one Kings or the Victory over Self", Simpson uses the battle of Israel against the thirty-one kings in Josuha 12 as a jumping off point to discuss our struggle against sin in our own lives. This text is in the public domain.

The ones who fought shared alike from the plunder with those who "stayed by the stuff". This text is in the public domain.
