I know that this book was written in 1990 and that many longer reviews have already been written (including one by this writer). But because constant questions arise, constant reminders need to be made. Rosenthal’s view of God’s ‘‘wrath’’ being different than the ‘‘tribulation’’ and the ‘‘great tribulation’’ is not new as he claims. All […]

Uncommon Sense: A Layman’s Briefing Book
George Will called Cal Thomas a ‘‘moral environmentalist.’’ Thomas is a Christian editorialist who has gained the respect of the political arena. I rely on him to give a Christian perspective of current events and issues. This is a 1990 edition that contains a number of writings on moral issues from abortion to Israel. It […]
The Gospel and the American Dream
The more I read Bruce Shelley the more I like him. Dr. Shelley is the long-time professor of church history at Denver Seminary. This book is the best I have read yet. It addresses the question of why this generation is the way it is and gives a historical perspective of how the church has […]
Starting a Seeker Sensitive Service
Drawing from his own experience of having such a service on Saturday night, Dobson says boldly, ‘‘We have to take all possible means, in all possible ways, to reach some people.’’ “I learned that new believers and unchurched people see things much differently from the old-timers, and we had better be sensitive to their concerns.” […]
Ashamed of the Gospel
There is so much written today on being ‘‘user-friendly’’ that we need books such as this one to bring some balance. MacArthur says, ‘‘I do believe we can be innovative and creative in how we present the gospel, but we have to be careful to harmonize our methods with the profound spiritual truth we are […]

Baker has been producing this “Best Of” series from some of the greatest Christian writers of recent history. This volume from the works of Tozer has to be one of the best! If you have been reading whipped cream lately and want to sink your teeth into something solid again, get this book.
Power Religion
This is the same editor of Agony of Deceit. In many areas the book is powerful. Part 2 is a series of three articles (by J.H. Armstrong, D.A. Carson and J.M. Boice) on the Vineyard movement which is one of the most telling reports to come out. Part 4 contains three articles on the modern […]
Faith Works: The Gospel According to the...
It has been five years since John MacArthur wrote The Gospel According To Jesus. That book stirred the controversy over ‘‘Lordship Salvation’’ once again. The conflict has been primarily between MacArthur and Charles Ryrie of Dallas Seminary. Ryrie’s 1969 book, Balancing the Christian Life, contained a chapter titled, ‘‘Must Christ Be Lord to Be Savior.’’ […]
