I first read this book several years ago on several consecutive Saturday mornings with some friends as we all attempted to learn a little more about a long passed over aspect of our church history. Reading this book again highlighted a few things that make this book worth reading. For one, knowing more about the […]

Wrongly Dividing The Word of Truth
Ironside wrote this book with its unique title in 1935 (the same year he preached the funeral of Billy Sunday at the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago which he pastored from 1930 to 1948. 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 […]
What We Talk About When We Talk About Go...
Rob Bell’s newest book is out, though without the hype that accompanied his last book. We gave a full article to reviewing Love Wins when it came out in early 2012, we gave an article to Brian McLaren’s A New Kind of Christianity, and we gave another article to the theological method (narrative theology) that […]
Reading This Year
Francis Bacon once said, “Reading makes a broad man but writing makes an exact man.”1 I am not as broad as I ought to be and am surely not as exact as I need to be. I find myself more in agreement with the preacher when he wrote, “and further, by these, my son, be […]
Mornings with Tozer
Each year I read a “daily” reading book, usually left by my bedside. There are many good ones out there which give a short page of thought-provoking material. Tozer, of course, is very provoking! But don’t read these instead of Scripture.
Reading God’s Word
The Bible is the greatest treasure in the world today. By it we know of eternal life in Jesus Christ and by it we can make sense of our world both in the past, the present, and the future. John Newton once wrote, “A child that has read the Bible knows more than all the […]
Already Gone
Ken Ham has become one of the best defenders of a literal and recent creation as described in Genesis. His Answers in Genesis organization and his Creation Museum are doing the church a great service in our day of atheism and evolution. In this volume, Britt Beemer provides the survey material. I have a mixed […]
R.A. Torrey’s Daily Meditations
This has been my daily (nightly) reading for 2008. Torrey is always worth reading and the only negative I found is the brevity of the daily entries. If you are looking for an easy daily read you might find this 1929 Fleming H. Revell book reprinted in 1963 by Baker Book House.
The Book of J
It is a good thing that my daughter, an M.A. student at the University of Northern Colorado, is also a graduate of Faith Baptist Bible College (Ankeny, IA). While upgrading her teaching degree, she was assigned reading from this book, which espouses, in modern garb, the old German Rationalism of the nineteenth century. But, equipped […]
