This book was written 20 years ago but is still one of the best on the subject, and carries the comfortable and yet scholarly style of its well-known author. Books on the subject of pain or loss in the believer’s life can range from psychological babble to theological rabble. This is a much more balanced […]

Our Part of the Passion of Christ
Identification with Christ is the center of our Christian belief. “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” (Col 2:9-10). Through His suffering and atonement, we are given access to God the Father by grace through faith. […]
Loving Christ
I received this book as a gift. It is a part II publication from Zondervan (the first being Following Christ). Stowell, president of Moody Bible Institute, gives applications from gospel accounts in the life of Christ. This kind of writing is different from traditional treatments on the life of Christ from men like G.C. Morgan […]
My Utmost for His Highest
Each year I read through one of those “daily” reading books. It only takes a few minutes and my way of doing it is to keep it beside my bed so I can’t forget it each night. This last year I decided to read Chambers’ well-known book. It was compiled by his wife after his […]
Set Apart: calling a worldly church to a...
Hughes is the author of the very popular book, Liberating the Ministry from the Success Syndrome. In this book he shows his affinity to John Piper’s proposal of Desiring God as a passionate pursuit. He gives valuable help to the pastor in delineating the importance of moral absolutes and standards in one’s life and church. […]
Why Revival Tarries
This is the second book I have read by Ravenhill, who, as I have noted before, writes a lot like Tozer (who forwarded this book). It is a very direct message to the church of the twentieth century and constantly calls believers to repentance. Though he may be what some would call a “Pietist”, I […]
The Purpose Driven Life
This book is Warren’s outline for his forty days of purpose that so many are doing now. I have to admit that I have not been a fan of Warren’s (see my review on The Purpose Driven Church) but for the most part this book is a forty lesson series on the very basics of […]
The Fundamentals, Vol 2
I continue to be blessed by these 1917 writings from men such as James M. Gray, A.T. Pierson, Philip Mauro, B.B. Warfield, James Orr, and R.A. Torrey. This volume deals mostly with the deity of Christ, the inspiration of Scripture and the personality of the Holy Spirit. Four times the originals alone are said to […]
The New Life in Christ Jesus
Sometimes all that sniffing through dusty used book stores pays off. For my $5 I received a rare blessing from this old Bible scholar and saint of God. The book was published by The Gospel Hour (Oliver B. Green) in 1915. Scofield, known mostly as the editor of The Scofield Reference Bible, deals skillfully with […]
When Disciples Are Above Their Master
“Paul’s word about being all things to all men and our Lord’s eating with publicans and sinners have been worked overtime to justify unwise sociability.”1 How true! Anyone who is concerned at all about worldliness in the church has had to listen to the proposition that Jesus was accepted and loved by sinners and they […]
