This new book by MacArthur does a great service to conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists alike, regardless of your various points of disagreement with its author. MacArthur uses the book of Jude as his text and speaks out on the apostasy within the churches today. He defines and warns of postmodernism and its latest representative, emerging […]

Exploring the Worship Spectrum: 6 views
This is one of the Zondervan “Counterpoints” books (2004). The editors take the latest forms of evangelical worship and have six different proponents defend each one and the others give a critique. The are: Formal-liturgical worship by Paul Zahl, an Episcopal rector; Traditional hymn-based worship by Harold Best, retired music professor from Wheaton College; Contemporary […]
The Copper Scroll
This is the second “novel” I’ve read by Joel Rosenberg. He is the author who wrote The Last Jihad which depicted Islamic terrorists crashing airliners into US buildings, but written before 9/11. With that notoriety he has written a series of biblically oriented books depicting last days scenarios. I read The Ezekiel Option which gave […]
The Dominance of Evangelicalism
I have been searching for a couple books by David Bebbington and this one happened to arrive in the mail first. Bebbington is a Cambridge scholar who teaches in Scotland at the University of Stirling. In this book he traces the rise of early evangelicalism in the UK and America during the rise of Liberalism […]
Dead Sea Scrolls CD
Because some of the actual Dead Sea Scrolls are on exhibit in Kansas City for three months, our church bought as many tickets as possible and will be going to see them. I then pulled out this CD which I have had for quite a few years. We will be viewing the CD for a […]
On Being a Pastor
I noticed this book on the store shelf because of the two authors. Each year we take a study trip to the UK including Edinburgh, Scotland and attend the historic Charlotte Baptist Chapel founded by Robert and James Haldane. Both of these men have pastored at that church, Begg being the assistant to Derek Prime. […]

Thomas Hine provides some interesting observations in this semi-historical book about the recent phenomenon called “the teenager.” The author’s opinion is that before the Depression and WWII, teenagers were considered adults as soon as they were capable of performing adult work and responsibilities. Since then, they have been “set aside” to wait until they become […]
Christianity According to the Wesleys
This ninety page book was originally given as a lecture in 1954 as a defense of historic Methodism. Historic information is taken largely from the letters, literature and music scores of the Wesleys. From the author’s point of view, John and Charles Wesley started a back-to-the-Bible movement from within the Church of England which grew […]
Promise Unfulfilled
Dr. McCune, former President of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, is a former professor of mine from Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis. Dr. McCune’s study of the evangelical movement over the last thirty to forty years is well known through classrooms, lectures and writings. It is a great help and blessing to fundamentalism to have this […]
The Armies of the Lamb
I have found the writings of Andrew Fuller, the friend of William Carey, to be of great inspiration. This is a collection of letters that he wrote over the course of his ministry. I have included this brief summary of his salvation. “I thought nothing about the exercises of my own mind, but merely of […]
