The Truth Behind the New Atheism
The book store shelves are filled with titles and authors we know little about. Adding to the confusion is the disappearance of familiar and trusted authors as well as the obvious change in the trustworthiness of publishers to offer orthodox material. Usually we have to choose a book by its title and take a chance […]
The Protestant Revolution
I found this 1914 volume of a 30-volume set of historical essays done by many prominent educators. What I found most interesting in this university text was the overriding confidence of the authors and endorsers that the Protestant Reformation was one of the most positive influences in the history of the world. The result it […]
The Case for Christmas/Easter
I read these two booklets to determine if they were presenting a case for the celebration of Christmas and Easter. There are those who sometimes question whether or not we, as Christians, should participate in the commemoration of those two holidays given their somewhat pagan beginnings and their worldly celebration today. However, that was not […]
Already Gone
Ken Ham has become one of the best defenders of a literal and recent creation as described in Genesis. His Answers in Genesis organization and his Creation Museum are doing the church a great service in our day of atheism and evolution. In this volume, Britt Beemer provides the survey material. I have a mixed […]
The Rapture
I have always enjoyed Tim LaHaye’s writings when he writes alone and not fiction. LaHaye has always been a dispensationalist and a pretrib rapturist. I suppose the Left Behind series served a purpose but they were too much fiction and not enough doctrine. In this book, LaHaye returns to his roots and defends the pretrib […]
Shepherding a Child’s Heart
I always have my eye out for really good Christian living books, and my interests these days include Marriage, Family, Music, Children, and Youth since I deal with those things on a daily and weekly basis. Wow! It’s tough finding any practical, conservative, biblical how-to reading! However, Tedd Tripp has thankfully filled some of the […]
Stand for the Truth
This Sword & Trowel booklet is a 2009 reprint from a 1996 edition. Masters calls for a Biblical separation from apostasy and from worldliness. He uses the term “evangelical” to refer to those who are truly saved; have had an evangelical conversion experience. He takes sharp issue with those who have called Roman Catholics ‘brethren,” […]
The Holy War
John Bunyan was first imprisoned in 1660 for twelve years in the county jail during the reign of King Charles II, the grandson of King James. After a short release he was imprisoned again for a brief time in the city gaol on the river bridge. During these years Bunyan was writing and planning five […]
The Royal Mile and New Town
Travel back in time to bygone Edinburgh We picked up this book on our last Baptist History tour to Scotland. It is amazing to realize the difficulties that men like John Knox had to deal with in the sixteenth century, or Robert and James Haldane in the eighteenth century, or even the Moody and Sankey […]
