This was a lengthy book on prophesy which is now available on Kindle. These messages were first given in Southern California at the West Coast Prophetic Conference in 1961. Authors included John Walvoord, J. Dwight Pentecost, John Woodbridge, J. Vernon McGee, and others. These were messages confirming the pretribulational and premillennial comings of Christ. It […]

Oh, Be Careful Little Ears
This little book on music came out in 1997. It has been one of those controversial books that criticizes contemporary music on the basis of style. Smith’s educational background makes her qualified to do this, however, it is a difficult way for the rest of us laymen in music education to follow. I have read […]
The Truth About The King James Version C...
This 35-page booklet was written in 1981 by a long-time professor at Bob Jones University. BJU has long stood for the historical and biblical view of Bible translation. Custer fills this little volume with nuggets such as: Plato’s dialogues are preserved to us in only one manuscript, in contrast to the New Testament which is […]
The King James Version Debate
I read this book for the first time (and a few times since, including now) the year it was published (1979) because, as a young Greek teacher, I was embroiled in this controversy. The KJV Only position escalated in the 70s but was never the fundamentalist position, especially of the movement in which I grew […]
Spurgeon’s Prayers
C.H. Spurgeon was probably the most quoted preacher of the last two hundred years. It is no wonder that many of his very prayers, prayed during the services of Metropolitan Tabernacle in London (1854-1892) would be transcribed and printed as well. And I must admit, after reading twenty six pulpit prayers recorded in this book, […]
History of the Bible in English
F.F. Bruce is usually a good source especially for history of the Bible and Bible history. In this book, first published in 1961, the edition I have in 1978, you will find a good detailed history of the English Bible leading up to the King James Version, and a few after that. It is an […]
The Christian Faith in the Modern World
I have found that anything written by J. Gresham Machen is worth reading. I was browsing a journal about Biblical subjects when I saw a chapter from this book reprinted in that publication. I immediately found a copy of the book on Amazon and bought it. It was originally published in 1936 but that publication […]
How We Got Our Bible
Thomas (1861-1924) was born in England and was for years principal of Wycliffe College, Oxford. Though he was a regular Keswick speaker, he also became co-founder, with L.S. Chafer, of Dallas Theological Seminary in 1924 but died in the same year (L.S. Chafer continued to serve as president until his death in 1952). Thomas was […]
From God To Us: How We Got Our Bible
This is a shorter version of the authors’ larger work, A General Introduction to the Bible. This is a concise record of the history of the Bible’s manuscripts and versions. Here is a great comparison of the Bible’s historicity and integrity compared to any other book: “Next to the New Testament, the Iliad has more […]
A Systematic Theology of Biblical Christ...
I finally finished Dr. McCune’s final volume of his theology. This volume covers Salvation, the Church, and Last Things. The great thing about reading McCune in any subject is his unwavering adherence to a fundamental, dispensational, pretribulational and premillennial point of view. That combination is almost unheard of these days. Dr. McCune carries a heavy […]
