John MacArthur’s latest book, unimaginatively titled The Book on Leadership, has one of the finest-looking covers I have ever seen. With its leather-looking cover, rough-cut pages, gold lettering and marbled inside pages, it looks like a wonderful, valuable, antique book. Truth be told, I probably would not have purchased it were it not for that…
As promised, I bring to you today the January book giveaway. Each month, for as many months as I can convince authors to sign and send their books to me, I will be giving away two copies of a Christian book autographed by the author. This month I am proud to offer two copies of…
In my ongoing devotional wrestling reading through the book of Romans I arrive this morning at the eight chapter of Paul’s epistle. This chapter has several passages that are well-known to believers.

In August of last year I read and reviewed John MacArthur’s book Hard To Believe.

For a few days now I’ve been mentioning that I will provide some information about what is in the works for this site in 2005. I will put it off no longer and will give you an idea of what you can expect. Giveaways. You bet. At this very moment there packages of various sizes…
Jonathan Edwards: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought by Stephen J. Nichols was at the same time excellent and disappointing. The disappointment was my fault and in no way reflects upon the book or the author, for I had begun reading it with unfair expectations. I had not read the cover carefully and…
It is a new year and I am sure that many Christians have resolved to be more consistent in their times of personal devotions than they were in the previous year. I thought it might be helpful, then, to share a method I have been using for my times with the Lord. I hope others…
Neil Postman, despite the fact that I have never read his books and (as far as I know) that he made no Christian profession, has had a profound affect on my beliefs. He is best-known for his book Amusing Ourselves To Death where he discusses our culture’s obsession with amusement, and especially, the medium of…
I spent some time looking for a Scripture passage to post this morning – something that would make for an appropriate reflection as we head into a new year. As I was reading through some other sites I found that another blogger had posted the text of Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses, the man…
