Advice To Sufferers

Having read as much of Bunyan that I could, including The Pilgrim’s Progress several times, I have to rate this lesser known treatise at least second to the great classic. The editor of the reprinted edition writes, “This valuable treatise was first published in a pocket volume in 1684, and has only been reprinted in […]

The Home Beautiful

I have been reading this 1912 Zondervan book after I heard of it while reading another book about church history.  This book was once the standard Bible study for the home and family.  Miller writes like a Tozer or a Blamires but directs those insightful thoughts toward the members of the family.  I think many […]

Secure in the Everlasting Arms

A refreshing book! So many ladies’ books dwell too much on our need to feel good about our position in Christ, but they let us off the hook when it comes to personal holiness in a sinful world.  Not so here.  Elisabeth Elliot is known most widely for her marriage to martyred missionary, Jim Elliot.  […]

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.  […]

God’s Provision for Normal Christian Liv

This is a 1990 edition of Ketcham’s book which Regular Baptist Press is still offering.  Ketcham was one of the fathers of the GARBC movement and an outspoken fundamentalist.  This book emphasized three truths especially:  The Lord Jesus Christ in the believer’s life; the Bible as God’s inspired Word equal to the very words of […]

Set Apart: calling a worldly church to a...

Hughes is the author of the very popular book, Liberating the Ministry from the Success Syndrome. In this book he shows his affinity to John Piper’s proposal of Desiring God as a passionate pursuit. He gives valuable help to the pastor in delineating the importance of moral absolutes and standards in one’s life and church. […]

Why Revival Tarries

This is the second book I have read by Ravenhill, who, as I have noted before, writes a lot like Tozer (who forwarded this book). It is a very direct message to the church of the twentieth century and constantly calls believers to repentance. Though he may be what some would call a “Pietist”, I […]

The Purpose Driven Life

This book is Warren’s outline for his forty days of purpose that so many are doing now. I have to admit that I have not been a fan of Warren’s (see my review on The Purpose Driven Church) but for the most part this book is a forty lesson series on the very basics of […]

The New Life in Christ Jesus

Sometimes all that sniffing through dusty used book stores pays off. For my $5 I received a rare blessing from this old Bible scholar and saint of God. The book was published by The Gospel Hour (Oliver B. Green) in 1915. Scofield, known mostly as the editor of The Scofield Reference Bible, deals skillfully with […]

Why I Left the Contemporary Chrisitan Mu...

This book is powerfully written from the perspective of a former contemporary praise and worship leader. It is Lucarini’s apology for the years he spent inside the CCM Movement acting as a “change agent” in several evangelical churches. He directs his criticism at those responsible for leading the CCM charge, not the average worshipper, and […]
