Older Novels Two books by Harold Bell Wright were Their Yesterdays, the most philosophical of his books yet, and The Winning of Barbara Worth, the most interesting yet. I read The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come by John Fox, Jr. since I saw it constantly at used book stores, and enjoyed it. My son-in-law gave me my first Louis […]

The Ezekiel Option
Newer Novels The Ezekiel Option by Joel Rosenberg is an interesting perception of the battle of Gog and Magog which I almost enjoyed. Minor details always bother me in books like these.
Music in the Balance
Special Topic Books Two slightly older books on music that I wanted to read were Frank Garlock and Kurt Woetzel, Music in the Balance, and Leonard Seidel, Face The Music. Both are quite perceptive of what lay ahead in the field of church music. It’s my opinion that we should have paid more attention to […]

Morning and Evening
My choice for this year’s day-by-day reading. Great book! “The Scriptures are the swaddling bands of the Holy Child Jesus; unroll them and you find your Saviour. The quintessence of the Word of God is Christ. This volume contains Jesus Christ’s letters to us, perfumed by His love. These pages are the garments of our […]
Give Attendance to Reading
Paul left that instruction to Timothy at the end of his first letter (1 Tim 4:13). In the second letter (2 Tim 4:13), the apostle instructs Timothy to bring him three things: a coat; books; and “especially” the parchments. It is humbling to think that, on death row, Paul would want his books! It seems […]
The Man Who Was Thursday
I found this little book in a used bookstore and decided that it was time to read another novel. Though I have read G.K.C. as a philosopher and cultural watcher (from a century parallel to ours), I had never read his point of view put in novel form. The story is set in old England […]
Thinking Inside The Box
G .K. Chesterton wrote, “The mind that finds its way to wild places is the poet’s; but the mind that never finds its way back is the lunatic’s.”1 It seems we have no shortage of “visionaries” and “original thinkers,” but fewer and fewer of them seem to be able to find their way back home! […]

Dismissing God
Lockerbie is a British author and literary critic. In this book he shows how the British and American authors over the last two hundred years have dismissed God from the accepted literary circles. It is interesting to read how people such as Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and others ended their search for […]
