This book is for those who are going through deep waters and need to know how to find encouragement in God during those times. Dr. Newman takes the reader through many personal stories and experiences and finds the solutions in […]
Counter Culture
This is a free book on Amazon for Kindle. I downloaded it and read it—about a 20 minute read. I would not even report on it except that what Platt does here is interesting. He gives a short report on current moral problems in the US and the world (poverty, abortion, orphans, sex slavery, ethnicity, […]
Alvah Hovey
Alvah Hovey (1820-1903) was the long-time professor then President of Newton Theological Institution in Newton, Massachusetts from 1849 to 1899. Hovey was from a Puritan family of farmers whose father was an influential and deeply religious man. Alvah took an early interest in Biblical, historical, and theological matters at an early age.

Singing and Making Music
If music were truly neutral, I would expect the drug addict to listen to Amazing Grace as often as Def Leppard. The un-regenerated chooses Def Leppard because it has relevance for him.

Most students today would know him as the author of one of the most enduring textbooks on homiletics, Preparation and […]

Through the Year With Wesley
I’m surely not a Wesleyan or Methodist, but I have a profound respect for John and Charles Wesley. This book is a compilation of 365 writings taken mostly from John Wesley’s correspondence. He was a hard man, but challenging.
Great Hymns of the Faith
I love this hymn book. I know that may reveal my personal taste in church music and the era from which I love to sing, but I find a great respect for the gospel hymns written especially in the late 1700s and through the 1800s. Let me add, however, that no one will ever exceed […]
