God and the Grocery Man
As I continue to read through all nineteen books by HBW, I’ve come to my first real disagreement with the esteemed author in this, his thirteenth, book written in 1927. Wright creates a typical context of early 1900s America. This, ironically to me, is set in Kansas City, MO and a small town northwest of […]
The Battle of Britain
I was on vacation and finished the only book I had with me so I bought this volume in an antique store. I collect a lot of things about WWII and also have an interest in Britain. The pictures in these volumes are stirring enough but the text is very good also if you have […]
Unshackled
DeBruyn is pastor of Franklin Road Baptist Church in Indianapolis, IN and the author of a few other books which I have enjoyed. This book is both a critique of the popular book The Shack, and an evaluation of popular new spirituality theories. The subtitle of the book is, “Breaking away from seductive spirituality, ‘As […]
The Christian and Amusements
Biederworlf was a well-know Presbyterian fundamentalist at the turn of the century. He once headed the Winona Lake Bible Conference (1922) and taught at Winona Lake School of Theology (1922-33).

Scott Aniol is a graduate of Bob Jones University, Northern Illinois University, and Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis. He also has authored Worship in Song. This book is a basic study of music in the Bible and how music affects the individual, the church, and our culture. Aniol says that music is an emotional response […]
When Sinners Say “I Do”
I just like the title! Harvey follows that theme throughout with a good emphasis on our human nature and the trouble it causes us especially with other people. A good companion to marriage counseling.
Marriage
This is an enjoyable and easy to use discussion book for couples. It covers five topics in eight chapters and includes questions and answers for each section (communication, conflict, forgiveness, sexual intimacy, and money matters).
Every-Member Evangelism
Judson Eber Conant lived from 1867 to 1955. He was a pastor and evangelist and served as a field representative for Moody Bible Institute in its early years. Dr. R.T. Ketcham said of him, “I consider Dr. Conant one of the best evangelists on the continent.” I had never read him but am always looking […]
