Older Novels Two books by Harold Bell Wright were Their Yesterdays, the most philosophical of his books yet, and The Winning of Barbara Worth, the most interesting yet.

The Winning of Barbara Worth
Older Novels Two books by Harold Bell Wright were Their Yesterdays, the most philosophical of his books yet, and The Winning of Barbara Worth, the most interesting yet.

The Ezekiel Option
Newer Novels The Ezekiel Option by Joel Rosenberg is an interesting perception of the battle of Gog and Magog which I almost enjoyed. Minor details always bother me in books like these.
Their Yesterdays
Older Novels Two books by Harold Bell Wright were Their Yesterdays, the most philosophical of his books yet, and The Winning of Barbara Worth, the most interesting yet.

The DaVinci Code
The interest in the so-called “lost gospels” as well as the curiosity over DaVinci’s “Last Supper” caused me to read this book. Basically, it is all old hat. The author writes as if Christians have never heard theories of the mother-son “sacred feminine” worship or that there is apocryphal literature that was rejected as non-canonical. […]
The Man Who Was Thursday
I found this little book in a used bookstore and decided that it was time to read another novel. Though I have read G.K.C. as a philosopher and cultural watcher (from a century parallel to ours), I had never read his point of view put in novel form. The story is set in old England […]
The Calling of Dan Matthews
As I plod on in my determination to read this Ozark pastor and author, I find myself both blessed and puzzled. Blessed because I enjoy the stories of rural America 100 years ago, told from a Christian perspective with a Christian plot. Puzzled because, especially in this book, Wright stretches far to highlight the hypocritical […]
The Uncrowned King
I mentioned in a previous review that I have been collecting and reading Wright’s books. Wright is the author of the well-known Shepherd Of The Hills although that was not necessarily his best seller. The Uncrowned King (My wife gave me an autographed copy for my birthday) is a short allegory of the Christian walk […]
That Printer of Udell’s
If we all have peculiar interests, one of mine is collecting the 19 first edition books of Harold Bell Wright—the Ozark author of Shepherd of the Hills. The Shepherd was his second book, the first was That Printer, printed in 1903. It is a fictional, yet real life, story of a young man who comes […]
Inferno
A Couple Notes About Hell C.S. Lewis wrote, “It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones” (God in the […]
