A number of blogs spoke highly of this book so I decided to pick it up and read it as well. Russell Moore teaches at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. I have read some of Russell Moore before and have not seen eye to eye with all of his theology, particularly his […]

Baptists Through the Centuries
Bebbington is a well-respected British historian. He has written a few books on the topic of evangelicalism in Great Britain and in America. This volume is an attempt to put into writing what he has taught on numerous occasions. Bebbington takes the reader through several topics driving toward an understanding of what it means to […]
The Man Who Went Away
This finishes the 16 HBW books I have out of the 19 he wrote. This was his last book written in 1942 about a man who owned and saved the Red Wood Forests, opting for the sublimity of the ageless past over the lurid and fast-paced future. (I collect HBW books and am looking for […]
Breaking Down the Walls…And the Gospel
The subversive work of “Evangelical Inclusivism” Raymond Teachout is the son of Richard Teachout, Robert’s brother. They are children of Dick and Oril Teachout, long-time missionaries in Africa. Raymond wrote this book in 1999 and I am sorry that I hadn’t known of it sooner. There is still a lot of literature explaining the ecumenical […]
Wine-The Biblical Imperative
I was loaned this copy of Robert Teachout’s book. It is difficult to find and usually expensive. This is the (1983) book version of his Th.D thesis at Dallas Seminary, “The Use of ‘Wine’ in the Old Testament.” He was among the more recent conservatives to challenge the “moderation” view of wine in the Bible. […]
Law and Grace
This new book by Dr. Houghton is a long-awaited and welcomed addition to the important issue of law and grace in the believer’s life. It could as well have been titled, “Law, Gospel, & Grace” because that is the three-fold division Dr. Houghton suggests as a Dispensational solution to the confusion over law and grace, […]
In the Shadow of Grace
I’m always interested in biographies of English preachers and ministers, especially those whom we study or recognize on our UK tour each Spring. Morgan (1863-1945) was one of England’s greatest pulpiteers. This short volume was written by his grandchildren and their spouses in 2007 and is sadly disappointing. No doubt because of their close connection […]
John Wesley’s Awakening
I was given this 1937 book by a good friend who peruses used book stores. It was a great delight. On our trip to the UK each Spring we see Wesley’s London Chapel and museum which is across the street from Bunhill Fields, the dissenter’s graveyard (where Wesley’s mother Susanna is buried). John Wesley was […]
Grape Juice in the Bible: True or False...
It has been my privilege to read this engaging pre-publication manuscript of the upcoming book. I met Brother Teachout by email after quoting his brother Robert’s dissertation on Bible Wines. Brother Teachout gives a moving personal testimony of how he came to the conviction that much of the “wine” in the Bible refers to grape […]
The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler
Shirer is best known for his book, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. He was an American journalist and war correspondent in Berlin during WWII. Shirer often heard Hitler speak and observed his rise and fall first hand. This small book is the best “quick” read of the life of Hitler that I’ve […]
