Who hasn’t enjoyed and profited from reading Dr. Ironside? I pulled out this 1937 book on salvation and assurance and read it along with some other newer books on the subject, and this one was the best. Typical of older evangelists, Ironside fills the book with personal anecdotes but also with much scripture. His chapters […]

Salvation
It was my privilege to write the Forward for this small but great book on salvation by Evangelist Ross Crowe. This is a rewrite of an earlier version which is now put into an attractive and usable format. Ross Crowe has been an evangelist most of his life and has also served as an outfitter […]

Billy Graham’s Passing
Billy Graham was an evangelical evangelist who preached the gospel and saw many thousands of people come to Christ through his ministry. Though I have not been a supporter of his new-evangelical ecumenicalism, I have always been thankful for many things about his life and ministry. It will be interesting to see how America today […]
Thirsting for Authenticity
It has been my privilege to read the manuscript for Dr. MacLachlan’s new book. The book is now available and can be ordered on Amazon for a moderate price. There have been many books written on the condition of the church in today’s culture. Many are good and helpful and many fall short of being […]
When God Closes the Door
The foremost belief of a sinner who refuses God’s grace is that the consequences of that refusal will never come. Surely anyone who truly understood and believed in what the Bible teaches about heaven and hell would not take such a chance as this. But, of course, the fact is that such a person does […]
The Story of Winona Lake
I came across this book on a used book shelf and it stirred my interest. I have heard of the Winona Lake Bible Conferences and also the connection of Grace Theological Seminary to Winona Lake. Gaddis wrote the first edition in 1949 and in 1960 Huffman updated the history with a few chapters. “Built upon […]
Charles G. Finney and the Spirit of Amer...
This biography was written almost twenty years ago but it has remained the standard biography of this oft-discussed, and oft-maligned, nineteenth-century revivalist. Finney is known for his revivals and his revival theology, his systematic theology, and his socially progressive anti-slavery work at Oberlin College. Whether you want to hear about Finney’s famous conversion story, his […]
Good News & Bad News About Human Identit
There are some things about which the Bible speaks clearly and one of those is the makeup of human beings. Yet it is amazing how far away from the plain language of the Bible our society has moved within one generation. In my youth it was risky enough to refer to homosexuals or lesbians rather […]
Old Paths
I have always enjoyed studying from Ryle’s Expository Thoughts on the Gospels and have wanted to read this long treatise for a while. John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was bishop Liverpool and an evangelical within the Church of England. If the reader can discern the obvious references to that church polity and doctrine, he can greatly […]
