This book is Warren’s outline for his forty days of purpose that so many are doing now. I have to admit that I have not been a fan of Warren’s (see my review on The Purpose Driven Church) but for the most part this book is a forty lesson series on the very basics of […]

The Fundamentals, Vol 2
I continue to be blessed by these 1917 writings from men such as James M. Gray, A.T. Pierson, Philip Mauro, B.B. Warfield, James Orr, and R.A. Torrey. This volume deals mostly with the deity of Christ, the inspiration of Scripture and the personality of the Holy Spirit. Four times the originals alone are said to […]
Crisis in Christian Music
I found this book to be an interesting look at the CCM problem from a man with an interesting background. Wheaton has a BA in Music from Denver University, an MA from UNC and a PhD in Music from UCLA. He now is the director of instrumental music for Calvary Church in Santa Ana, CA. […]
The Fundamentals, Vol 1
This reprint of the original four-volume set first published in 1917, has been made available by Baker Books since 2000. I have decided to read these volumes before the end of the year. Many people talk about these writings from which we get our name “Fundamentalists,” but I have wondered how those men actually wrote. […]
The New Life in Christ Jesus
Sometimes all that sniffing through dusty used book stores pays off. For my $5 I received a rare blessing from this old Bible scholar and saint of God. The book was published by The Gospel Hour (Oliver B. Green) in 1915. Scofield, known mostly as the editor of The Scofield Reference Bible, deals skillfully with […]
Historical Drift
I was given this book by a friend and still enjoyed reading it! Cook (former missionary and now VP for CMA in Canada) gives another emphasis to the old observation that most things die after three generations or cycles. This is true of corporations, visits from relatives and is too often true in church life. […]
Why I Left the Contemporary Chrisitan Mu...
This book is powerfully written from the perspective of a former contemporary praise and worship leader. It is Lucarini’s apology for the years he spent inside the CCM Movement acting as a “change agent” in several evangelical churches. He directs his criticism at those responsible for leading the CCM charge, not the average worshipper, and […]
Revival God’s Way
I had not read Ravenhill before this book but I will read him as often as I find another book. He (1907-1994) ministered in Leeds, Yorkshire, England and sat under the teaching of Samuel Chadwick. His was an evangelistic ministry which was at its height during WWII. His writings are much like Tozer (whom he […]
Three Score & Ten
I found myself reading one more book by Havner because this is his autobiography—or at least as close to one that he ever came. He was born in 1901 and preached his first sermon at 12 years old. He remained in the SBC all of his life and traveled among quite a list of preachers: […]
The Church on the Other Side
The first edition of this book was titled, Reinventing Your Church. You can tell by my use of this book in this month’s article that I think McLaren is off base. He looks at postmodernism as a missed opportunity to reinvent the church in a totally new light. Even our theology ought to be re-evaluated […]
