The subject of Dominion Theology, Theonomy, Reconstructionism is still very popular. This (1988) book is a textbook treatment and critique of the movement made popular in the late 20th century by R. J. Rushdoony, Gary North, Greg Bahnsen, David Chilton, and others. Though it appears old, it is amazingly up-to-date in its definitions, history, and […]

Evil Invades Sanctuary
The man who is the head of our safety and security team attended a seminar and brought this book to me. This kind of information is always disconcerting to the average church. We don’t want to believe vicious attacks, even shootings and killings, could happen in our sanctuaries, but we know they do happen and […]
The Vanishing Ministry in the 21st Centu...
Woodrow Kroll wrote a first book on the Vanishing Ministry in 1991 dealing with the 20th century. He updated that volume to this one in 2002. Although the book is now over 20 years old, it is very helpful and insightful on the reasons why we have fewer and fewer men entering the ministry. In […]
The Making of an Atheist
James Spiegel is professor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University. This is a 2010 book on atheism from a philosophic and scriptural point of view. Spiegel brings together all of the valid arguments for God including Alvin Plantinga’s (to whom he dedicated this book) argument of sensus divinitatus, or a “sense of the divine,” […]
Overcoming Grandparenting Barriers
Larry Fowler is the founder of The Legacy Coalition which is printing this series of books called Grandparenting Matters, edited by Josh Mulvihill. Fowler was the international director of Awana for many years so he has much to say about kids and those who love them. This is an interesting book (only about 100 pages) […]
Why We’re Not Emergent
This is a 2008 book on the emergent church by DeYoung and Ted Kluck. DeYoung is the primary writer and Kluck adds chapters from his personal experience. Even if you just read DeYoung’s chapters this is a book worth having. Among explaining various faults with the emerging church (anti-foundationalism, anti-modernism, anti-traditionalism) he says, “The biggest irony […]
Mission Drift
This is a 2014 book about the danger of Christian organizations drifting away from their stated purpose. It is written almost entirely about para-church organizations and has some application to local churches. It is written from an evangelical point of view so a conservative reader can not expect to see separation from that point of […]
God’s Word Alone
Matthew Barrett is the editor of the “5 Solas Series.” He writes this one on Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone). The others are on grace, faith, Christ, and glory to God alone. Barrett traces the Scriptures as our only final (and therefore inerrant) authority to the Reformation and then brings that doctrine home for today. Of […]
Loving God with all Your Mind
I have always enjoyed reading Gene Veith. He was the first to introduce me to postmodernism back in the early 90s. Somewhere along the line I missed this 1987, 2003 book. The sub-title is: Thinking as a Christian in the Postmodern World. Veith uses Daniel as his primary example of someone who was forced to […]
Thirsting for Authenticity
It has been my privilege to read the manuscript for Dr. MacLachlan’s new book. The book is now available and can be ordered on Amazon for a moderate price. There have been many books written on the condition of the church in today’s culture. Many are good and helpful and many fall short of being […]
