In 1792 a group of nonconformist Particular Baptists were praying together about what could be done for missions. Many Particular (Calvinistic) Baptists did not believe anything could be done by human means to reach people in foreign lands. In May of that year William Carey expressed his own heart in the above titled booklet which […]

The Defense of the Gospel in the New Tes...
(This is a guest review by Doug Kutilek which also appears in his online paper “As I See It”) In this small but excellent book, we have the substance of 5 lectures delivered by the late acclaimed Pauline scholar F. F. Bruce in 1958 at Calvin College. The theme of these lectures is the Apostolic […]
Today’s Gospel
Ministry Books I thought Donald Whitney on Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church was great on local church life. Today’s Gospel by Walter Chantry was a Calvinistic criticism of today’s gospel-light. Stuart Briscoe on Purifying The Church is his commentary on Titus and has good applications for teaching and preaching. Quiet Talks on Power by S.D. Gordon was one of those challenging books that […]

William Carey: the pioneer missionary
One of my joys of perusing the used book stores is finding good biographies on great men of God. It is hard to go wrong reading about the life of William Carey! Carey called himself a “Dissenter” and not a “Churchman.” He was not an Arminian Baptist but neither was he a hyper-Calvinist as his […]
Water of Life
This small book is forwarded by Charles Spurgeon and reprinted in America by Gospel Publishers in MT. I found this copy in a used book store. Listen to Bunyan on the abuses of grace: “Alas! What can be expected of him that has nothing in him to teach him to manage that knowledge of grace […]
How Can I Be Sure I Am A Christian?
I was presently surprised by my first reading of Donald Whitney. As a pastor, I’m always searching for material to give to people to help them in their needs. Assurance of salvation is a common area of concern for many believers. Whitney gives a thoughtful and practical guide for those who are doubting. He also […]
The Purposes of Calvary
This book was given to me by my good friend Lon Stewart. I had never read Harry Rimmer but soon learned that he had been a prolific evangelical (British) voice of the first half of the twentieth century and Eerdmans had published a number of his books. His style is typical of that era (similar […]
The Gospel and Its Ministry
As is often the case with rereading old books (being now over 100 years old), I thoroughly enjoyed the book, again! Anderson was once the head of Great Scotland Yard, London, and wrote many books including prophetic books such as The Coming Prince, on the book of Daniel. This is a book on basic Christian […]
Pop Goes the Gospel
Dan Lucarini’s Reading List Editor’s Note: My friendship with Dan Lucarini began after I read his book and arranged to have lunch with him in Denver. Not only did I discover that we had much in common in our views of church music, I was immediately taken by Dan’s humility with what God has done […]
