I decided to go back and read this 1978 book thinking it would be an interesting parallel between what happened within evangelicalism in the 50s to the 70s and what is happening today within fundamentalism. It was indeed very interesting. Many of the same reasons that caused the neoevangelicals to leave evangelicalism are being repeated […]

Morning and Evening
My choice for this year’s day-by-day reading. Great book! “The Scriptures are the swaddling bands of the Holy Child Jesus; unroll them and you find your Saviour. The quintessence of the Word of God is Christ. This volume contains Jesus Christ’s letters to us, perfumed by His love. These pages are the garments of our […]
Thomas Jefferson and the Wall of Separat...
Every Christian ought to read this book and be familiar with its arguments in light of the anti-Christian “separation of church and state” culture in our courts, many of them declaring any form of public Christianity unconstitutional. We have priceless religious freedom guaranteed in our Constitution, guarantees we are losing in the courts. In exploring […]
The New Directory for Baptist Churches
Many of us ministers were introduced to Hiscox’s writings on Baptist Church polity when we were in Bible College and Seminary. Hundreds of pages on church structure, proper order, and personal piety didn’t seem as exciting in school days as did formulas for success. But now, many years later, seeing the turmoil and reluctance in […]
A History of the English Baptists
I found this Baptist history in my local “Used Christian Books” store, It was published by The Carey Kingsgate Press, London, 1947. It is one of those unique histories that is unaffected by the contemporary penchant for mere story telling. It pulls no punches when it comes to describing the persecutions Baptists experienced at the […]

Its five sections are: Faith Reason and the Necessity for God’s Existence; Christ and Miracles; Philosophical and Cultural Challenges to Christian Faith; […]
Pathway to Freedom
I was given this book by my good friends at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Brownsburg, Indiana. I had not read Begg except by references. He is a pastor in the U.S. but with British background. This is a study of the Ten Commandments which have been adapted from his sermons. The most interesting part […]
Fool’s Gold
Reviewed by Dan Lucarini When I first met Dr. Shrader for lunch in Denver, we talked about the “death of discernment” in the church and thought someone should write a book about it. Well, someone finally did! This book exposes the root problem that causes many Christians to fall in love with the world and […]
Heritage of Evidence in the British Muse...
Thanks to our missionary Russ Ivison for bringing this book to my attention. Peter Masters has put together a book-guided tour of those parts of the British Museum that substantiate Biblical history. The book contains pictures of various artifacts as well as diagrams of the lay-out of the museum’s halls. Copies can be bought online […]
William Carey: the pioneer missionary
One of my joys of perusing the used book stores is finding good biographies on great men of God. It is hard to go wrong reading about the life of William Carey! Carey called himself a “Dissenter” and not a “Churchman.” He was not an Arminian Baptist but neither was he a hyper-Calvinist as his […]
