Room for God
I was pleasantly surprised with my first book by Robert Wenz (thanks, Rob). Forwarded by Robert Horton, their books read much the same way. It is a conservative look at the local church worship service from a balanced approach. Among much more, Wenz offers these words. ‘‘We must guard the integrity of the drama of […]
State of the Arts
This is the third book I have read by Gene Veith and I have yet to be disappointed. They are always informative and have a unique Christian insight. This book is for the layman in the field of art. It is not until we at least attempt to understand what God intended for art to […]

Walvoord says, ‘‘In a word, . . . the men represented by this new movement . . . are building their view on an inadequate definition of the kingdom concept […]

The Things That Matter Most
I have always appreciated Cal Thomas for being in the main stream media and yet speaking out for his obvious faith in Christ. In this book he even gets Rush Limbaugh to admit the same in the foreword. The slant of this book is unique. As he puts it, ‘‘This is a book that recalls […]
