This is a 1990 edition of Ketcham’s book which Regular Baptist Press is still offering. Ketcham was one of the fathers of the GARBC movement and an outspoken fundamentalist. This book emphasized three truths especially: The Lord Jesus Christ in the believer’s life; the Bible as God’s inspired Word equal to the very words of […]

I Just Wanted More Land
I met Gary Gilley recently and became acquainted with his writings. He also wrote, This Little Church Went To Market: The church in the age of entertainment. I Just Wanted More Land is a critique of The Prayer Of Jabez by Bruce Wilkinson (see my short review on our web site). Gilley is right in […]
The God Who Hears
Reviewed by Don Shrader If ever I teach a class on prayer, this would be my textbook. Of all the books I have read or perused on prayer, this was the most practical. Hunter forthrightly addresses those issues surrounding prayer that all of us have that inhibits our prayers and our prayer time. While his […]
If You Will Ask
Chambers, well-known today for My Utmost For His Highest, first wrote this book in 1958. It reads very much like Torrey’s book in that it is more of a straight-forward approach to the biblical teaching on prayer with a strong emphasis on the necessity for holy living if one is to pray effectively.

Without being too critical I would say that this is a light devotional look (certainly not an exposition) at an Old Testament prayer. Many good things are said about prayer, especially section 4 on […]
If Everything Is A Miracle, Nothing Is A...
It is the opinion of the contributors to this volume that a number of new authorities threaten modern evangelicalism directly. These authorities are often grounded in what the above confession calls “custom, or numbers, or human wisdom, or judgments . . . or visions, or miracles,” and they must be challenged when they stand against […]
Miracles
I just read this 1947 book by Lewis as a part of a study on present day Charismatics. Among more recent books on the miraculous, this was a pleasant discovery and a refreshing engagement. Though you have to read Lewis in low gear, the slow journey is always worth it. Chapter fourteen, ‘‘The Grand Miracle’’ […]
