This is a 2015 book by two Baylor University history professors. It contains 13 chapters plus Preface and Conclusion, about 250 pages in all. The authors take you from the colonial days when the Baptists were basically “outlaws” to the culture and state laws, to the 21st century. Though I have read Baptist history many […]

365 Days With John Newton
I finished my daily reading book for 2013. I try to do this each year. It gives one a good insight into a great man of history and serves as a good source of devotional thought each day (I never allow these to replace the reading of God’s Word every day). John Newton is best […]
Spurgeon’s Prayers
C.H. Spurgeon was probably the most quoted preacher of the last two hundred years. It is no wonder that many of his very prayers, prayed during the services of Metropolitan Tabernacle in London (1854-1892) would be transcribed and printed as well. And I must admit, after reading twenty six pulpit prayers recorded in this book, […]
Practical Happiness
This is from a series of books by Schultz designed to encourage young men in their walk with God. The sub-title is, “A young man’s guide to a contented life.” I had not read Schultz before but I enjoyed his easy way of writing (or speaking) to a younger generation. This book has 36 chapters […]
When Sinners Say “I Do”
I just like the title! Harvey follows that theme throughout with a good emphasis on our human nature and the trouble it causes us especially with other people. A good companion to marriage counseling.
Marriage
This is an enjoyable and easy to use discussion book for couples. It covers five topics in eight chapters and includes questions and answers for each section (communication, conflict, forgiveness, sexual intimacy, and money matters).
The Practice of Prayer
While browsing in a used book section of a store, I found this 1906 edition printed in the second year of Morgan’s 39 year ministry at the Westminster Chapel in London (not to be confused with either the Abbey or the Cathedral). Morgan was followed there by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones who retired in 1968. One […]
Mornings with Tozer
Each year I read a “daily” reading book, usually left by my bedside. There are many good ones out there which give a short page of thought-provoking material. Tozer, of course, is very provoking! But don’t read these instead of Scripture.
R.A. Torrey’s Daily Meditations
This has been my daily (nightly) reading for 2008. Torrey is always worth reading and the only negative I found is the brevity of the daily entries. If you are looking for an easy daily read you might find this 1929 Fleming H. Revell book reprinted in 1963 by Baker Book House.
Conflict Under Control
Jeff Newman is an associate professor at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA where he teaches Biblical counseling and introductory Greek. The book is printed by Regular Baptist Press as part of their Bible Study series. It is a look at conflicts as the apostle Paul dealt with them in the book of Philippians. […]
