This book was recommended to me by my friend, Dr. Myron Houghton and I was very glad that it was. It is subtitled “How Should A Christian Think?” Blamires’ proposition is that “there is no longer a Christian mind.” Though he speaks of this generally, he is saying that Christians today (written in 1963) really […]

The Trivialization of God
At the beginning I thought I was going to really enjoy this book. McCullough, President and Professor of Theology and Preaching at San Francisco Theological Seminary, has some very good points describing how we reduce God to fit within our own structured arena. His sections on “loss of awe,” “rampant individualism,” and “God-Centered Worship,” among […]

Here is a profitable and inexpensive way to keep current on college-level, scholarly issues. If you are a student at any level, or have such a person in your home, you can request free membership in the Institute and receive two publications at no charge. One, The Intercollegiate Review, is published 2-4 times during the […]
This Day in Baptist History
This is a daily journal of 365 readings drawn from Baptist history. Each entry is about a page long, interesting and documented. The book can be ordered by calling BJU Press in Greenville, S.C. Dr. Harju gave me this book a year ago and I have spent five minutes each evening reading each day’s entry […]
The Soul in Cyber-Space
I have always enjoyed Groothuis in the area of apologetics and contemporary issues. This 1997 Baker book is a must for all who have to travel in computer worlds. As many such writers, Groothuis rehearses the decline in rational thinking from reading and digesting words in books to listening without seeing words on radio to […]
The Modern Creation Trilogy (on CD)
I was loaned this work by Henry and John Morris by a friend in order to try out a CD format for books. Though I found the text might be somewhat different than the hard copy, I enjoyed the ease of filing quotes and information while at the same time loathing reading from a monitor. […]
Reading Dogged Issues During Dogged Days
The habit of reading is absolutely critical today, particularly for Christians. As television turns our society into an increasingly image-dominated culture, Christians must continue to be people of the Word. When we read, we cultivate a sustained attention span, an active imagination, a capacity for logical analysis and critical thinking, and a rich inner life. […]
Dummies
By Don Shrader Currently, there are a number of computer “how to” books out entitled “____” for Dummies. The original book written was DOS for Dummies. From there, the series went to PC’s for Dummies, and now we have Windows for Dummies, AOL for Dummies and The Internet for Dummies. I saw some the other […]
Does Mind Matter?
Does Mind Matter? Who would not think, to see us compounding everything of mind and matter, that such a mixture is perfectly intelligible to us? Yet this is the thing we understand least; man is to himself the greatest prodigy in nature, for he cannot conceive what body is, and still less what mind […]
Handbook of Denominations in the United ...
I have owned the sixth edition of this handbook for a long time so I was interested when I saw this new one. This was published in 1995 and revised by Samuel Hill. It has expanded the table of contents some, especially to cover the number of “evangelical” groups since the 1975 sixth edition. Appendix […]
