Robert Govett (1813-1901) was a British theologian and pastor of an independent church, Surrey Chapel, Norwich, Norfolk, England. This book is a reprint by Schoettle Publishing Company in 1978, first written in 1853. Schoettle seems to be a recent publisher that prints books about the millennial kingdom. Some noteable authors are Philip Mauro, George N.H. […]

He That is Spiritual (a second read)
I read this book in 1997 and probably out of the book many times before that. I reread the book for a current study on walking with God. I wanted to add an important point he makes in our walk with God and that is that it is the Holy Spirit Who desires to do […]
A New Call to Holiness (a second read)
I first reviewed this book in 1997. I have always liked Baxter. I’ve even been to his former church in Edinburgh. As I pointed out in my earlier review, Baxter refutes the holiness teaching of the eradication of the old nature and therefore the believer always having only one nature, either sinful or holy. He […]
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 […]
Holiness
John Charles (J.C.) Ryle (1816-1900) was the Anglican bishop of Liverpool, England in the last twenty years of his life. In the early 1880s he became concerned with the holiness teaching of a deeper life in the Keswick revivals. This book was his reponse to that teaching and has found kinship in the orthodox doctrines […]
Jesus + Nothing = Everything
In 2011, Tullian Tchividjian (cha-vi-jin) wrote this book titled, Jesus + Nothing = Everything. As I read the book it was like many before it, a man who grew up in conservative circles and then, because of deep struggles in his life, threw off what he considered legalism and went after a progressive and liberated […]
Gospel Reset
Ken Ham has become the leading figure in Biblical creationism and rightly so. His Creation Museum and Ark projects are fantastic displays of Biblical testimony to an early earth creation. This little book is a proposition from Ham that the church is out of step with the presentation of the gospel in our day. He […]
Steal Away Home
I was given this book by a friend who knows I love the Spurgeon history. I have walked this history in England many times and am very familiar with the Spurgeon Center which is now at Midwestern Seminary in Kansas City where I currently live. This book is a story written in historical fiction about […]
Stained With Blood
The subtitle of this book is, “A one-hundred year history of the English Bible.” It is an excellent book and accomplishes that goal in a helpful and scholarly way. Nordstrom praises the King James Version for being “the greatest Bible ever written” (p. 165) but also “It means we live in a translation era and […]
