This book was my favorite treatment of the issue so far. Burk and Lambert are both professors connected with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lousville, KY. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., the president of SBTS, writes the Forward and says, “Believers cannot accept any argument suggesting the impossibility of fundamentally reorienting a believer’s desires in such […]

What does the Bible say about Homosexual...
Having enjoyed DeYoung’s writings in the past, I wanted to read his position on this contemporary topic. The author is senior pastor of University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Michigan and has written a number of books on contemporary issues. This book is divided into two parts: Understanding God’s Word and Answering Objections. The first […]
Democracy in America (vol 2)
Tocqueville (1805-1859) was a French diplomat, historian, and scientist. In the 1830s he came to America to examine our prison system but traveled extensively to study America as a whole. His conclusions were printed in 1835 in two volumes called Democracy in America. I have had both volumes in paperback for a while and decided […]
Is God Anti-Gay?
In the midst of trying to read current material on the Christian & homosexuality issue I was given this little book at a seminar. Among the many issues facing believers on this subject is the proposition that people (including Christians) can have same sex attraction (SSA) in the same way that another person may have […]
Value of Camp
After speaking at a men’s retreat at a camp in Alaska, I was given this book by the former camp director following our talk about the usefulness of the camp ministry in our day. Brock is the co-founder and executive director of Ironwood camp in southern California. He gives two chapters on the usefulness of […]
The Church of the Fundamentalists
I am always glad for a new book that promotes the good history of fundamentalism. Oats’ (long time professor at Maranatha Baptist University) proposition is that fundamentalism’s history is a history of separation, and that the history of separation is intrinsically related to the doctrine of the church. Though this history is primarily of the […]
Islam Rising
I have collected many books on Islam over the years, most of them small paperbacks written by middle eastern converts to Christianity. They have all been very good and helpful, although they are often written in a personal, testimonial, format. This book by Jim Murk has been the most helpful so far. Murk has his […]
Dispensationalism Before Darby
The title of this book invites you to read it. The common complaint about dispensationalism is that it began 150 years ago with John Nelson Darby. Watson gives abundant historical fact to the contrary. William Watson is Professor of History at Colorado Christian University. He received his B.A. in History from California State Polytechnic University, […]
Baptist History
I was happy to find this volume of Dr. Cramp’s 1868 work on Baptist History. Cramp was born in England (1796) but spent almost all of his ministry in Nova Scotia, Canada. Originally published by Elliot Stock, Paternoster Row, London, this volume is a 1987 reprint by Baptist Heritage Publications of Watertown, Wisconsin. It contains […]
Music and Morals
This is the second book I’ve read by Kimberly Smith on music. This is forwarded by Frank Garlock and is very much in the mode in which he writes. I don’t necessarily disagree with these kinds of conclusions. However, I am a layman in the technical side of music and can’t say whether all the […]
