The Knowledge Of The Holy

Three Books By A. W. Tozer I don’t know what you may like to read while you’re on a vacation.  I think reading nothing at all may be the best.  But this time I took three familiar Tozer books with me in hopes that I would be uplifted and drawn back into focus in my […]

Hitler’s Cross

I have long thought that the most interesting study of atheism in this century is that of German Fascism during the Nazi regime.  It is important because today’s atheism in America is repeating many of the same principles and yet, like Hitler, is calling everyone else, and primarily Christians,  fascists or bigots. Lutzer writes to […]

The King James Only Controversy

This 1995 book follows somewhat the same subject matter as D.A. Carson’s 1979 book The King James Version Debate.  Though, I think, Carson’s was more original and in a more scholarly tone, White has served the Christian public well by updating and putting this subject into a very readable form.    White answers familiar critics such […]

The Awesome Power of Shared Beliefs

Wagner is Vice President of Ministry Advancement for Promise Keepers.  This book is one of many on the market now that promotes the PK movement.  I am not a PK participant nor advocate. This book and my growing file on PK remind me that I am closer to writing a longer article expressing my conviction […]

Pensees

Some months ago I set out to read this book a little at a time.  I had read quotes from Pascal all my life but never had read the Pensees myself.  It makes for good reading when you have short periods of time because most of the book is a compilation of his notes and […]

The Weight of Glory

Not long ago (January, ’96) I wrote about why I think Baptists should continue to read men such as C.S. Lewis.  It is really too bad if we stumble over his Anglican references and read no further.  Few men of the twentieth century can spur your thinking like Lewis.  Once you have spent some time […]

Handbook of Denominations in the United ...

I have owned the sixth edition of this handbook for a long time so I was interested when I saw this new one.  This was published in 1995 and revised by Samuel Hill.  It has expanded the table of contents some, especially to cover the number of “evangelical” groups since the 1975 sixth edition.  Appendix […]

Anabaptism in Outline

My find of the year has been this out of print book which the Institute of Mennonite Studies published in 1981. It is a printing of the actual writings of well known Anabaptists on 17 areas of doctrine.  This is not an Anabaptist history.  There we find that these men were born Catholic, converted by Reformers […]
