I have been reading this series of books this year. Each volume contains the messages that were preached at the Fundamental Baptist Congresses of North America, beginning in 1963 through 1974. This second volume (preached in Grand Rapids in 1966) contains messages by names such as, A.V. Henderson, Richard Clearwaters, Robert Ketchum, Monroe Parker, G.B. […]

The Fundamentals, Vol 4
The most rewarding reading for me from 2003 has been the four volumes called The Fundamentals. Though I had heard of them throughout my ministry and have heard many speakers and writers refer to them, the actual reading of them was a different experience than what I expected. Most notable (as I mentioned after reading […]
The Fundamentals, Vol 3
I have not enjoyed a set of older books in a long time as much as I have enjoyed reading this set of The Fundamentals. The first half of volume three includes articles on the nature of sin and salvation from such men as Sir Robert Anderson, C.I. Scofield, C.G. Moule and others. The second […]
The Fundamentals, Vol 1
This reprint of the original four-volume set first published in 1917, has been made available by Baker Books since 2000. I have decided to read these volumes before the end of the year. Many people talk about these writings from which we get our name “Fundamentalists,” but I have wondered how those men actually wrote. […]
Three Score & Ten
I found myself reading one more book by Havner because this is his autobiography—or at least as close to one that he ever came. He was born in 1901 and preached his first sermon at 12 years old. He remained in the SBC all of his life and traveled among quite a list of preachers: […]
Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners
This autobiographical sketch of Bunyan’s conversion and call to the ministry reads as if he were a character in his own Pilgrim’s Progress. His intense struggle to come to salvation is mostly foreign to us in a day of easy believism. But no convert to Christ could not identify with the relief and joy that […]
Renaissance and Reformation
While browsing a used book store, I came across this 1986 book by Estep, an author of Baptist History, whom I have enjoyed. This book covers only those time periods within the title but includes many descriptions of Baptist history as well. This book was of particular interest to me because of the present struggle […]
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 […]
A History of the Baptists
My reason for going back and rereading this text (originally published by Judson Press, 1950) was in conjunction with some study on the history of revival in America in the last two centuries. Torbet has an interesting chapter (8) on the division of Baptists after the Great Awakening into “Regular” and “Separate”. The Great Awakening […]
C.S. Lewis Had a Wife; Catherine Marshal...
I was given this 1985, Tyndale House book to read if I became interested. The title didn’t much interest me but the table of contents did. I have found an interest in biographies of great men of God and this book contains ten biographies that center on the home life of these great men. They […]
