This 2005 book is written by a pastor and father of two children. This is written from a pastor’s heart who cares deeply about the growing problem of alcoholism in our country. I would recommend this book for the layman’s first read. It is well researched and places the historic information in language easier to […]

The Bible and Its Wines
This book was first printed in 1985 in nice hardback cover. Ewing was the president of the Evangelical Church Alliance and pastored in Ferndale, Michigan. The preface to the book is done by Earl Dodge of the National Prohibition Party, Denver, Colorado. My copy was signed by Dr. Dodge to my father-in-law, Dr. Peter Slobodian. […]
Bible Wines
This older book was originally written in 1871 in support of the Temperance movement. Patton is almost always quoted by later writers because of his valuable collection of ancient authorities on wine. I found his discussion of how fresh juice was preserved, and how the word is used consistently in Scripture very helpful. He is […]
Wine in the Bible
Samuele Bacchiocchi is a Seventh Day Adventist who defends his Adventist point of view in many books. However, on this “neutral” subject I found him very helpful. In fact, he borrows heavily from Robert Teachout.* Teachout also endorsed the book before Bacchiocchi added a chapter commending Ellen White. His historic information on wine is excellent, […]
Great Men Bow Down
At a recent convention, I was privileged to meet a very fine Christian man who has written this book I highly recommend. Gordon Lawrence has compiled a biographical sketch book of many men, not just in America, but throughout the world, who were unashamed of their Christian faith. From current culture, today’s readers get the […]
A New Kind of Christian
Though this book was written in 2001, I wanted to read it first before I read A New Kind of Christianity, which was published in 2010 (same publisher and year as Rob Bell’s Love Wins). A couple books by McLaren was enough for me but we need to know what those who are denying the […]
The Great Escape
I will indulge the reader for a bit of true WWII history. If you liked the film you’ll love the actual story of the daring escape from Stalag Luft III in Sagan, Germany. Brickhill was a prisoner who did not go through the tunnel on that fateful night, for which he was later thankful. After […]
Studies in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Most are familiar with English’s work, Re-Thinking The Rapture, but may not be aware of his great commentary on the book of Hebrews. This was first printed in 1955 by Loizeaux Brothers. This is a detailed work similar to William Newell and is trustworthy in matters of types, covenants, and law vs. grace.
Velvet Elvis
Velvet Elvis was written in 2005 and is Bell’s first book. This book is as clear a statement on the theology and theological method of Bell as there is. It also includes a clear discussion regarding his views of heaven, hell, and salvation (see chapter 6) which appear in Love Wins. I am a little […]
The Life and Religion of Mohammed
This is a recent publication of the 1911 work by the Catholic Scholar. It is a straightforward description of Mohammed and Islam, far removed from the political correctness infecting such books today. Every Christian should read some honest account of the life of the founder of Islam. Today we wonder how a world religion could […]
