Pentecost is one of my favorite writers, especially on prophecy. I strongly recommend his larger work, Things To Come and his work on the life of Christ, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ. This book is a shorter work (about 200 pages) which takes the reader through a chronological picture of prophecy from the […]

Not Wrath But Rapture
I ordered and read this short book by Ironside on Kindle. Personally I love to read Ironside and have learned much from this solid Bible teacher of a generation ago. Ironside was a dispensational premillennialist and a pretribulationalist. His comments in this short book are good and consistent about the rapture. The one oddity that […]
The Second Coming of Christ
As a sixteen year old boy, the thing that drew me back into church more than anything else was the study of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus plainly said to His disciples these words before He died, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in […]
The Second Coming of Christ
Moody books put no author on this book other than the seven people who wrote the seven chapters. They are: Harriet Beecher Stowe, D.L. Moody, J.C. Ryle, George Müller, D.W. Whittle, George C. Needham, and Charles H. Spurgeon. An invitation of sorts is given anonymously at the end. I bought this book while “rescuing a […]
The Dragon, The Beast, and the False Pro...
As we begin a new year, we are faced with violence, immorality, and war on every hand. Gunmen enter schools, theaters, and even school buses with no other purpose than to kill and hurt. The leaders of our nation don’t seem to know what to do about it other than make acquiescing gestures toward the […]
The Only Hope of the Church or World
See this month’s article (Aletheia, June, 2012) for my appreciation of this book. Riley was a fundamentalist from Minneapolis who fought against the social gospel of his day that was being pushed by liberals. The liberal approach was to change the definitions of the church and the kingdom and take the emphasis away from personal […]
The Kingdom of God in the Gospels
Few subjects have been of greater interest to me in my ministry as a pastor and teacher than that of the Kingdom of God. Coming out of high school and going to Bible College I knew nothing of its doctrinal significance. I must confess that I knew little more than that coming out of Bible […]
The Rapture in 2 Thessalonians 2:3
1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled in spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ [the Lord] is at hand. […]
Does Love Win?
Recently, there has been an explosion of attention focused on Rob Bell and his new book, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived, which was released in March 2011 by HarperOne. The buzz surrounding this book began when Bell posted an introductory video to his book […]
Midnight Rising
This book (forwarded by Earl D. Radmacher) is a recent composition regarding end time events. Simpson is dispensational, pretribulational, and orthodox in his basic eschatology. His point of view here is that the antichrist, though coming out of the European revived Roman Empire, will be an American, most probably the president. He sees the little […]
