This was an early (1981) Word of Grace Bible Study book. MacArthur, being a graduate of Talbot Seminary, has always been a pretribulationalist though a weak dispensationalist. He writes, “I’m convinced that the correct view is pretribulational. So, when I say that I’m premillennial and pretribulational, I’m saying that I’m committed to the fact that […]

The End Times
This book comes from that era (1969) of Premillennial Bible Colleges and prophetic conferences. Hoyt was Chancellor of Grace College and Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana, a Grace Brethren School. Many of my own professors were graduates of Grace and received good dispensational and premillennial teaching. Other good writers associated with that school were […]
The Bible and Future Events
Many of us have read Leon Wood for text books in seminary. Wood was long-time professor and Dean of Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary until his death in 1977. In those days Grand Rapids was the flagship school of the GARBC and the voice for dispensational, premillennial, and pretribulational truths among the churches. This book explains […]
Jesus The King Is Coming
This book is a collection of writings by current writers (1975) on the subject of prophecy. It is an overview of prophetic events done by pretribulational and premillennial writers. You should know Charles Feinberg who himself was Jewish and a leading authority on Jewish history and Old Testament languages. He writes, “The hope of believers […]
Prophecy For Today
Pentecost is one of my favorite writers, especially on prophecy. I strongly recommend his larger work, Things To Come and his work on the life of Christ, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ. This book is a shorter work (about 200 pages) which takes the reader through a chronological picture of prophecy from the […]
Not Wrath But Rapture
I ordered and read this short book by Ironside on Kindle. Personally I love to read Ironside and have learned much from this solid Bible teacher of a generation ago. Ironside was a dispensational premillennialist and a pretribulationalist. His comments in this short book are good and consistent about the rapture. The one oddity that […]
Leisure: The Basis of Culture
This is mostly a philosophical book and so may be difficult to read, yet it is the kind of difficult read that yields much harvest. This book calls for an individual to pull away from the frenzied life of working, planning, and doing in order that they may engage in leisure. What is so piercing […]
Apparent Danger
The subtitle of the book is “The Pastor of America’s First Megachurch and the Texas Murder Trial of the Decade in the 1920s.” This is a research project by David Stokes about J. Frank Norris and his acquittal for the killing of D.E. Chipps on the grounds of self-defense. Although the book was an interesting […]
Fools Rush In Where Monkeys Fear To Trea...
I found Trueman as an author not long ago and have thoroughly enjoyed him. I read this delightful book on my Kindle, then I bought two hard copies and have given them both away. Carl Trueman is an Englishman by birth and now teaches at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia. He is typically Reformed in his […]
Payson’s Sermons
I was given this older book by a friend who is always looking for good used books. This book was compiled by Mrs. Payson after her husband’s death. Payson was a Congregational pastor and educator in Portland, Maine. This book is rare because it was published in 1828, the first date any of his writings […]
