This book was recommended to me while visiting Fuller Baptist Church in Kettering, England. Stanley, lecturer of Church History at Trinity College, Bristol, has done an amazingly detailed job of presenting the history of the missionary society of Carey, Fuller, and others. Though my interest in more of the early years when these men got […]

An Authentic Narrative
John Newton, pastor, song writer, and former slave-trader, wrote his auto-biography in a series of fourteen letters to a friend. They are quite remarkable in literary genius and spiritual insight. They remind one of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe as Newton traveled the sailing world in hunt of treasure to sell (sometimes even slaves) and often […]
Conflict Under Control
Jeff Newman is an associate professor at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA where he teaches Biblical counseling and introductory Greek. The book is printed by Regular Baptist Press as part of their Bible Study series. It is a look at conflicts as the apostle Paul dealt with them in the book of Philippians. […]
Drumming Up Deception
My second read by pastor DeBruyn was as good as the first (See my review of Church on the Rise in the January ‘08 edition). This smaller booklet is a quicker and more to the point study of the effect of drumming in rock music. Drumming, of course, has become the center piece on most […]
When a Man’s A Man
I have finished the eighth of nineteen HBW books. I think this has been one of the best so far. Admittedly, you have to like westerns and cowboys, but most of us have such a little boy inside somewhere. The original publisher for Wright’s first nine books was The Book Supply Company. This one was […]
Letters of John Newton
We all know John Newton as the author of Amazing Grace, perhaps the best-known gospel hymn of all time. We also may know him as a converted slave trader who contributed to the English abolition movement in the late 1700s. Fewer may know him as a conservative (though Anglican) pastor of two parish churches during […]
Biblical Separation
Regular Baptist Press has published a second edition of the late Dr. Ernest Pickering’s 1979 classic on separation. The new edition has updated some of the language as well as the footnoting to today’s style and information usage. Dr. Myron Houghton, senior professor and department chair of systematic theology at Faith Baptist Theological Seminary, has […]
The Book of J
It is a good thing that my daughter, an M.A. student at the University of Northern Colorado, is also a graduate of Faith Baptist Bible College (Ankeny, IA). While upgrading her teaching degree, she was assigned reading from this book, which espouses, in modern garb, the old German Rationalism of the nineteenth century. But, equipped […]
Faith Undone
My first read of Roger Oakland’s writings was a surprisingly good one. The subtitle of the book is: “The emerging church…a new reformation or an end-time deception.” Oakland pulls no punches in identifying the Emerging Church movement as a threat to the true church of Christ. It is well documented and full of current material […]
A Short History of England
I was delighted to find this 1918 edition on a lonely flea market shelf for just a couple bucks. I know you have to have a reason to read these kinds of books but I happened to have one. I was “delighted” because I have found more detailed and specific information than I have in […]
