Who Hath Despised the Day of Small Thing...
I have been defending the small church. I have not said that a church must be small to be spiritual or that largeness is an evil in itself. But I have said that the small church is the normal church; the one seen most often in the New Testament and throughout church history. I have […]
Shepherding the Small Church
(reviewed by Don Shrader) The book begins with an amusing allegory about two combines, contrasting the megachurch with the small “hub and spoke” church. I am sure the megachurches will take great umbrage at the analogies. While the book has a lot of good things to contemplate with respect to ministry and the church, Daman […]
Who Hath Despised the Day of Small Thing...
When Zechariah was asked that question by the interpreting angel in the fourth chapter of his prophecy (Zech 4:10), the present temple project looked dreadfully small compared to the glory of the former temple. But the prophet as well as the people who worked on the walls were reminded that God’s work is Not by […]
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 Historical Supremacy of Christianity
Christianity claims to be both exclusive and inclusive. It is exclusive in that it claims to be the only way to God, and it is inclusive in that it claims it is the only way to God for every individual in the world. Diogenes Allen wrote, “We cannot relinquish the claim that Christ is the […]
Crisis in Christian Music
I found this book to be an interesting look at the CCM problem from a man with an interesting background. Wheaton has a BA in Music from Denver University, an MA from UNC and a PhD in Music from UCLA. He now is the director of instrumental music for Calvary Church in Santa Ana, CA. […]
Historical Drift
I was given this book by a friend and still enjoyed reading it! Cook (former missionary and now VP for CMA in Canada) gives another emphasis to the old observation that most things die after three generations or cycles. This is true of corporations, visits from relatives and is too often true in church life. […]
Revival God’s Way
I had not read Ravenhill before this book but I will read him as often as I find another book. He (1907-1994) ministered in Leeds, Yorkshire, England and sat under the teaching of Samuel Chadwick. His was an evangelistic ministry which was at its height during WWII. His writings are much like Tozer (whom he […]
Vital Church Issues
There are at least twelve books in this “Issues” series, printed by Kregel but copyrighted by Dallas Seminary. I have reviewed quite a few of these over the years and have always enjoyed the variety they present. They usually contain fifteen or twenty articles written by various qualified authors. This issue is devoted to the […]
