The title of this book would not have been inviting to me except for a desire to understand the biblical concept of being crucified with Christ. Whether or not one is a fan of Lutheran or Reformation theology, understanding the personal struggle of this Augustinian monk from works to grace is uplifting. The author notes, […]

The Master’s Plan for the Church
This is a 1991 Moody Press book which is a remake of an earlier Study Notes titled, The Anatomy of a Church. If, ten years ago, you thought MacArthur was a radical on church polity, you may see him today as a forthright conservative. Though differing with him in some matters of Baptist distinctives, MacArthur […]
The Knowledge Of The Holy
Three Books By A. W. Tozer I don’t know what you may like to read while you’re on a vacation. I think reading nothing at all may be the best. But this time I took three familiar Tozer books with me in hopes that I would be uplifted and drawn back into focus in my […]
The Pursuit Of God

The Weight of Glory
Not long ago (January, ’96) I wrote about why I think Baptists should continue to read men such as C.S. Lewis. It is really too bad if we stumble over his Anglican references and read no further. Few men of the twentieth century can spur your thinking like Lewis. Once you have spent some time […]
What’s Wrong with the World
I found another Chesterton book, written in 1910, in the Theology section of our Christian bookstore (that section is the smallest in the store so its not hard to spot things). The title is a good clue to the book’s contents. Written almost a century ago in another country, Chesterton offers unbiased yet entirely relevant […]
Christianity That Counts
This was my first book by Groothuis, an associate professor of philosophy and religion at Denver Seminary. He has written three other books, all of which deal with the New Age movement. He writes, “My hope is that these essays and reviews, written over the last ten or so years, will equip the reader to […]
The Problem of Pain
Six Spiritual Classics Rather than apologizing for quoting so much from C.S. Lewis over the past few months I decided to recommend a set of his books (some of which I have reviewed). This last year I decided to read a whole set (plus a biography) and have not at all regretted the project. As […]

The Vanishing Conscience
This is a well written book on an important subject. Regardless of your view of the author’s previous books, this is a subject on which every Christian should read. MacArthur has little time for the self-help and self-esteem teachings and believes we already think more highly of ourselves than we ought to think and that […]
