Spurgeon’s Prayers
C.H. Spurgeon was probably the most quoted preacher of the last two hundred years. It is no wonder that many of his very prayers, prayed during the services of Metropolitan Tabernacle in London (1854-1892) would be transcribed and printed as well. And I must admit, after reading twenty six pulpit prayers recorded in this book, […]
Apparent Danger
The subtitle of the book is “The Pastor of America’s First Megachurch and the Texas Murder Trial of the Decade in the 1920s.” This is a research project by David Stokes about J. Frank Norris and his acquittal for the killing of D.E. Chipps on the grounds of self-defense. Although the book was an interesting […]

This last volume (written mostly by family and associates) covers much […]

Some have thought that the title indicates a rebuttal of dispensationalism when in fact it is a rebuttal of ultradispensationalism and […]
Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth
This important little book was first written by Scofield in 1885 while serving as pastor of the First Congregational Church of Dallas, TX, now the Scofield Memorial Church. A quick Google search of Scofield or this book will bring a multitude of opinions about both. At the time of writing, Scofield had been mentored by […]
