A Tale of Two Sons by John MacArthur

This is a book I’ve added to my list of ‘hope to get my hands on soon’.
A Tale of Two Sons by John MacArthur
Today I read another excellent review of the book at Challies.com
From my understanding the book came about from a series of sermons preached by MacArthur on the same topic. So like [...]

The Catastrophic Fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

History is a passion of mine, especially Church history. This topic of the fall of Jerusalem was addressed in a previous post within the comments, but someone may find this interesting as well.

From Christianity Today, Christian History: Not One Stone Left Upon Another
The catastrophic fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 forever changed the face of [...]

Analyzing Scofield

This is a very interesting little booklet. I had been doing a search on something not at all related, when coming across it: Gospel Truth; Analyzing Scofield. I refer to it as a ‘booklet’ because its all on one page. There is another post I put up on the Scofield Bible some months ago, but [...]

“ChurchShift” to replace PDL?

   From The Christian Post: ‘ChurchShift’ Breaks Top 10 Bestsellers List
Wonder if this newest book will replace Warren’s Purpose Driven garbage?
Quote:
A week after its release, the book entitled ChurchShift by the founding pastor of one of Europe’s largest churches broke Amazon.com’s top 10 Bestsellers list.
The new book by Sunday Adelaja, founding pastor of Ukraine’s 30,000-member [...]

Preface to the book: Left Behind Answered Verse By Verse

This is the preface to ‘Left Behind — Answered Verse by Verse,’ written by David A. Reed.
From apologeticsindex:
Shortly after putting faith in Jesus Christ, I began attending evangelical Christian churches — Baptist and Congregationalist — and that is where I first heard an exposition of the ‘left behind’ teaching.
Of course, the blockbuster novel by [...]

Left Behind — Answered Verse by Verse

From apologeticsindex.
‘Left Behind‘ — a series of books billed as ‘evangelical Christian fiction’ written by Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye — has been a huge publishing success. With the final book published in April, 2007, sales have reportedly totaled 65 million copies.
The series, which started in 1995 with the first novel, includes 16 titles in [...]

Understanding Dispensationalists: Book and Review

Today I’ve been reading an on-line book written by Vern S. Poythress: Understanding Dispensationalists, after coming upon the link and Synopsis/Review written by Nathan Pitchford at Pitchfords Ramblings. Its very good! Both the synopsis and the book.
In sum: if you would like to get an overview of the history of the dispensational/covenant theology debate, and [...]

Exegesis From Godly Men

This video clip speaks to something which I also have noticed in recent years–the ignoring of, or actually the tossing aside of the many wonderful commentaries available today written by men of God who have gone before us. I love reading the commentaries of those like Wesley, Luther, Matthew Henry, Calvin, Clarke, Pink, or Jamieson.  [...]

The Twilight of the Books?

Albert Mohler has an interesting commentary today: The Twilight of the Books?. Being an avid book reader and lover of books all my life, its interesting to read how little books play a part in the lives of most people today. I had to leave school at a very young age, 16, so didn’t get [...]

The True Workings of God, and Counterfeits of Satan

Some years ago, while working within a specific ministry, I read the book, War On The Saints, by Jessie Penn-Lewis, and found it to be one of the most informative books ever written on the workings of demonic spirits: within its pages many of the questions I had battled with, the answers were found. This [...]

THE TRIAL AND INCARCERATION OF JOHN BUNYAN

Its no secret that John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress is my favorite book outside the Bible itself: over the last 27 years I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve dug it out once again to read. John Bunyan himself is an interesting person…so over the years, whenever I’ve come upon some item on [...]

Doubts

Came upon a chapter in the book, Christian Secrets of a Happy Life this afternoon and wanted to share it. Is there any child of God who has not and does not wrestle with doubt? We all do on occasion: even if it be only fleeting. I’m convinced its one way satan attacks our faith [...]

God of the Valleys

Many years ago I was still silently struggling with the death of my Dad, though it had been over 3 years since he had passed away after a long illness, and someone came into my place of employment and handed me this book written by Mark Rutland: God of the Valleys: Heaven’s [...]

The Anatomy of Deception

Taken from an online book by the late Art Katz, The Anatomy of Deception.
Chapter 5 - Ananias, Sapphira, and Truth.
The account of Ananias and Sapphira in the Book of Acts is a remarkable episode of an incident that occurred in another age, in an hour when the Spirit of God prevailed in such  magnitude and [...]

John Hagee to “re-write” a chapter of his book?

Is this true? I’m not sure but there  is an article tonight claiming it is, which is being circulated.  “If” this be the case good, but, and I do not mean to sound harsh, in my opinion after reading it, the entire book needs to be pulled from the book stores by the Hagee organization. [...]

Christian bookshops refuse to stock gay study Bible

Kudos! A wise decision..
**********
November 26, 2007CHRISTIAN bookshops are refusing to stock copies of a new Bible study guide that challenges standard New Testament translations that describe gay sex as sinful.
A US distributor, God’s Word to Women, has banned the Australian publication, and withdrawn another Bible translation published by the same NSW publishing house, Smith and [...]

Amish Grace, Book Review

Came across a review today on the book Amish Grace. After reading the review, I would like to read this book.  If you watched the Bill Moyers PBS special on Christian Zionism in October, you may have saw the last few minutes which marked the 1 year anniversary of the schoolhouse shootings in Pennsylvania: [...]

What the Bible Says about THE PEOPLE OF GOD

Wanted to pass along a link to a book I’ve been reading: What the Bible Says about THE PEOPLE OF GOD. The author, Nathan Pitchford, put this together as a reference tool to present the major tenets of Dispensationalism along with the key Scripture passages that address each tenet. I’ve not finished it yet, [...]

Just Sharing: Two Excellent E-Books

If you’ve not come across either of these two free ebooks, I encourage you to check them out. Both, though written some years a-part, offer some deep insight into what we are seeing today within Christianity. If you’re like me its not possible to purchase most of the worthwhile books being written today. Its [...]
