Bug 1182368

Description of problem:

At the moment, under the "General Books" section of Xiphos, you only have three devotionals: Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis, Orthodoxy by Chesterton and Pilgirm's Progress by Bunyan.

I'd like to please suggest some more major mainstream Christian texts, all of which are well and truly out of copyright and therefore in the public domain.

7. Major writings of Dick Sheppard (famous British Anglican priest and Christian radio broadcaster of the 1930s). Can be easily collated from these:

9. Blanche Gamond: A Heroine of the Faith.  An electronic copy is available here (but this one is a Google book scan downloadable as a PDF, not in plain-text format so it might be more work to migrate into Xiphos):

10. Historical Protestant/Calvinist liturgical book:
