This is from a series of books by Schultz designed to encourage young men in their walk with God. The sub-title is, “A young man’s guide to a contented life.” I had not read Schultz before but I enjoyed his easy way of writing (or speaking) to a younger generation. This book has 36 chapters […]

The Reformation In England
The English Reformation isn’t as popular as the German, Swiss, or even the Scottish Reformations. There you have singularly interesting figures like Luther, Calvin, and Knox. In England you have characters like Henry VIII and Bloody Mary, but you also have Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer and others who lost their lives in the reformation process. […]
Forgotten Lay Leaders
I was given this book by Dr. Brown who was the president of Denver Baptist Theological Seminary when I was a student. It is a quick read about forgotten heroes of the faith, forgotten because they were never well known. I especially enjoyed the stories of American wilderness history and those related to English history: […]
Starting Point: Finding Your Place in t...
This is a process, or plan, to assimilate people into the church. This is done by Andy Stanley’s ministry and is used in many churches across the country. I thought it had many good ideas and good methods for following up on interested people. The downsides are a weak view on creation (chapter 3), a […]
Spurgeon’s Autobiography, Vol IV
Having finished the fourth and final volume of this classic autobiography of the great English preacher, I felt as though I had watched Spurgeon grow up, serve God greatly in his generation, and go on to his reward at the early age of 58. This last volume (written mostly by family and associates) covers much […]
Rediscovering the Church Fathers
I first read this book several years ago on several consecutive Saturday mornings with some friends as we all attempted to learn a little more about a long passed over aspect of our church history. Reading this book again highlighted a few things that make this book worth reading. For one, knowing more about the […]
Wrongly Dividing The Word of Truth
Ironside wrote this book with its unique title in 1935 (the same year he preached the funeral of Billy Sunday at the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago which he pastored from 1930 to 1948. Some have thought that the title indicates a rebuttal of dispensationalism when in fact it is a rebuttal of ultradispensationalism and […]
Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth
This important little book was first written by Scofield in 1885 while serving as pastor of the First Congregational Church of Dallas, TX, now the Scofield Memorial Church. A quick Google search of Scofield or this book will bring a multitude of opinions about both. At the time of writing, Scofield had been mentored by […]
How Christians Should Relate to Governme...
I read the Kindle version of this book. I find that when I do that, my reading can get interrupted by several days or even weeks (because I’m also reading one or two other books on the same device). For the most part I enjoyed Grudem’s thoughts and points on Christian involvement in government. I […]
The Question of Freemasonry and the Foun...
I’ve only recently found a few of David Burton’s books recommended to me by a friend. I learned a lot from this short book on the Freemasons. Burton’s premise is that America’s founding fathers were not as involved in Freemasonry as many would have us believe, and that those who were, were not involved very […]
