Baptists and the Bible
This 1980 Moody book reads more like a list of biographies than a doctrine or church history book. The authors’ purpose was to show how Baptists have believed in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scripture. In doing this, they include 29 stories of Baptists (ranging from giants like Gill, Spurgeon, Carroll, Robertson to […]

The sub-title is “Why are Christians Living Just Like the Rest of the World?” The title itself was enough to make me buy the book.

The Purity Principle
Special Topic Books Two slightly older books on music that I wanted to read were Frank Garlock and Kurt Woetzel, Music in the Balance, and Leonard Seidel, Face The Music. Both are quite perceptive of what lay ahead in the field of church music. It’s my opinion that we should have paid more attention to these things. The Bible […]
