Jay Adams wrote this book in 1980. At the time he was professor of practical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary.

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 […]

Experience tells me that the drug addict will choose music that validates his culture over that which contradicts. In this newer book (published […]
Great Hymns of the Faith
I love this hymn book. I know that may reveal my personal taste in church music and the era from which I love to sing, but I find a great respect for the gospel hymns written especially in the late 1700s and through the 1800s. Let me add, however, that no one will ever exceed […]

Strange Fire
It has been about twenty years since MacArthur wrote Charismatic Chaos. Strange Fire is more than just an update of the older treatise on Charismatics, it is an up-to-date and urgent plea for rejecting their false doctrine of ongoing revelation and renewal of miraculous gifts. Regardless of what one may like or dislike about MacArthur, […]
