State of the Arts
This is the third book I have read by Gene Veith and I have yet to be disappointed. They are always informative and have a unique Christian insight. This book is for the layman in the field of art. It is not until we at least attempt to understand what God intended for art to […]
Readings in Christian Theology
For those who want to catch up or keep up on their theology (and why wouldn’t we want to study the meat of the Word?) these (three) volumes of selected writings by various theologians throughout the church age is a good exercise. Erickson (author of the most valuable Christian Theology and professor of theology at […]
The Vanishing Conscience
This is a well written book on an important subject. Regardless of your view of the author’s previous books, this is a subject on which every Christian should read.

Holding this position myself, I hoped for a lengthier treatment. His rebuttals are better than his presentation. The editor presents the metaphorical view that hell is […]
The Best of A.W. Tozer
Baker has been producing this “Best Of” series from some of the greatest Christian writers of recent history. This volume from the works of Tozer has to be one of the best! If you have been reading whipped cream lately and want to sink your teeth into something solid again, get this book.
The World That Perished
The sub-title to this timely book is: ‘‘An Introduction to Biblical Catastrophism.’’ It’s not so much that I needed an introduction to the subject, but I needed an update! In preaching through the life of Noah this second quarter, I wanted to refresh myself on flood geology and what has been happening in Creationism over […]
