Sometimes all that sniffing through dusty used book stores pays off. For my $5 I received a rare blessing from this old Bible scholar and saint of God. The book was published by The Gospel Hour (Oliver B. Green) in 1915. Scofield, known mostly as the editor of The Scofield Reference Bible, deals skillfully with […]

Five Views on Apologetics
If you are interested in knowing whether you are Classical, Evidential, Cumulative, Presuppositional or Reformed in your apologetical approach to evangelism, you might try this book. This is one of the Counterpoints series edited by Stanley Gundry. Can you appeal to a lost man’s ability to reason spiritual things? Your answer to that question might […]
All of Grace
I picked up this well-know book on a discount rack. It is a book written by Spurgeon directly to sinners who might be so inclined to read about the gospel for themselves (talk about a different age!). I think it (and L.S. Chafer’s True Evangelism) is one of the most relevant books on evangelism from […]
Ashamed of the Gospel
Ashamed Of The Gospel What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear, in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man. Albert Camus1 The above quote from a well-known unbeliever is an amazing admission of […]
Willing to Believe
This 1997 book by Sproul is a Calvinistic answer to Clark Pinnock, editor of a 1989 volume, The Grace of God, The Will of Man, a case for Arminianism. Sproul points out that though both sides give assent to the freedom of man to choose, the underlying issue is whether prevenient grace from God enables […]
Balancing The Christian Life
The following is a collation of books that I have not had space to include over the last couple issues. I heard Charles Ryrie speak last month and purchased two of his books which I had read before. Balancing The Christian Life has been updated in 1994. The chapter on Lordship salvation is especially relevant […]
The Roman Catholic Controversy
James White also authored The King James Only Controversy in 1995. This 1996 “Controversy” book is directed toward the continuing debate over how evangelicals should consider the faith of Roman Catholics. White follows the view that Catholics cannot be considered true believers if they are basing their faith on the Roman Catholic Church’s doctrine. White […]
Mere Christianity (on cassette)
Having reviewed this Lewis work with many of his others already, I can’t help but recommend that you listen to this classic on cassette. This is the kind of book where concentration is difficult and reading this kind of writing is already slow. I took this along on a long trip so I could listen […]
Putting Amazing Back Into Grace
I have always enjoyed Michael Horton’s writing. He has been one of those voices for conservatism in the nineties which is desperately needed. I have picked up hints of his Calvinism in earlier books but it was not until this one that I could read his full explanation. I reviewed this book more thoroughly in […]
The Gospel and the American Dream
The more I read Bruce Shelley the more I like him. Dr. Shelley is the long-time professor of church history at Denver Seminary. This book is the best I have read yet. It addresses the question of why this generation is the way it is and gives a historical perspective of how the church has […]
