Special Topic Books Two slightly older books on music that I wanted to read were Frank Garlock and Kurt Woetzel, Music in the Balance, and Leonard Seidel, Face The Music. Both are quite perceptive of what lay ahead in the field of church music. It’s my opinion that we should have paid more attention to these things. The Bible […]

Today’s Gospel
Ministry Books I thought Donald Whitney on Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church was great on local church life. Today’s Gospel by Walter Chantry was a Calvinistic criticism of today’s gospel-light. Stuart Briscoe on Purifying The Church is his commentary on Titus and has good applications for teaching and preaching. Quiet Talks on Power by S.D. Gordon was one of those challenging books that […]

Neoevangelicalism
I decided to go back and read this 1978 book thinking it would be an interesting parallel between what happened within evangelicalism in the 50s to the 70s and what is happening today within fundamentalism. It was indeed very interesting. Many of the same reasons that caused the neoevangelicals to leave evangelicalism are being repeated […]
Pathway to Freedom
I was given this book by my good friends at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Brownsburg, Indiana. I had not read Begg except by references. He is a pastor in the U.S. but with British background. This is a study of the Ten Commandments which have been adapted from his sermons. The most interesting part […]
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 […]
The Purposes of Calvary
This book was given to me by my good friend Lon Stewart. I had never read Harry Rimmer but soon learned that he had been a prolific evangelical (British) voice of the first half of the twentieth century and Eerdmans had published a number of his books. His style is typical of that era (similar […]
Holiness, The False and the True
I have found that reading Ironside on biblical subjects is a rewarding thing (we are all familiar with his commentaries). Ironside was converted in the Holiness movement of the Salvation Army. He quickly became a student and then a teacher in the movement. He retained the zeal found there the rest of his life. The […]
The Down-Grade Controversy
This is a relatively small booklet which is a collection of the monthly articles Spurgeon wrote in The Sword and Trowel during this controversy including one related sermon. The Baptist Union was being infiltrated by German Rationalistic thinking especially in its denial of the authority of Scripture. Spurgeon was among the first to recognize the […]
Preaching Christ Today
While with missionaries in Scotland, I came across this small book by Torrance, who was Christian Dogmatics professor at the University of Edinburgh from 1952 until 1978, and a member of the Church of Scotland General Assembly. The book is a defense of the Incarnation of Christ in the light of today’s science. Torrance believes […]
