SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP – J. Oswald Sanders (1967)

My Dad has given me some very important books over the years. I remember the first mind-rattling book that Dad gave me when I was about 17 years of age – Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Other books have made a significant impact as well. Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge by Warren Bennis was aContinue reading “SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP – J. Oswald Sanders (1967)”

LONE SURVIVOR – Marcus Luttrell (2007)

Honor, courage, and patriotism. Duty, determination, desire. Love for country and love for family. A willingness to exchange one’s life for his country. Brotherhood, accountability, and steel-hearted resolve. These characteristics describe Marcus Luttrell, the Navy Seal who survived a firefight with Taliban foot soldiers in the mountains of Afghanistan. Lone Survivor is a book for everyContinue reading “LONE SURVIVOR – Marcus Luttrell (2007)”

“GOLDEN” AIR IN THE EMERALD CITY

The Seattle Seahawks are world champions. I was ten years old when the Hawks made their way into the Emerald City. I sat for hours memorizing the names, numbers, and statistics of every player. Those were the days of Jim Zorn, Steve Largent, and Norm Evans – all committed Christ-followers. Even though touchdowns were fewContinue reading ““GOLDEN” AIR IN THE EMERALD CITY”

A SHEPHERD LOOKS AT PSALM 23 – Phillip Keller (1970)

It is generally good advice to get help from an expert. Phillip Keller provides expert advice in his book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. Keller owned sheep for a number of years and is uniquely qualified to address issues that pertain to the issues that arise in Psalm 23. Keller’s work is a basicContinue reading “A SHEPHERD LOOKS AT PSALM 23 – Phillip Keller (1970)”

BARACK OBAMA’S RULES FOR REVOLUTION – David Horowitz (2009)

It is a well known that President Obama is an admirer of the late Saul Alinsky. Better put, he is an advocate of Alinksy’s political ideology. Just before Obama was elected as President, he uttered these words that should be permanently etched onto every American mind: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming theContinue reading “BARACK OBAMA’S RULES FOR REVOLUTION – David Horowitz (2009)”

THE PASTOR’S JUSTIFICATION – Jered C. Wilson (2013)

It is no secret that pastors get discouraged, overwhelmed, and frustrated in the ministry. Many resources are available for men who seek counsel in difficult church settings. Most of them pale in comparison to Jared Wilson’s offering, The Pastor’s Justification. Wilson, a seasoned pastor himself brings experience to the table. But more than personal experience, WilsonContinue reading “THE PASTOR’S JUSTIFICATION – Jered C. Wilson (2013)”

SHOULD YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? – K. Scott Oliphint

Pre-suppositional apologetics appears to be on the rise. We can thank Francis Schaeffer for popularizing the presuppositional approach. Of course Cornelius Van Til, John Frame, and Richard Pratt have played a huge part. But I have been recently encouraged by K. Scott Oliphint as he wields a sharp presuppositional apologetic sword. His work, Covenantal Apologetics isContinue reading “SHOULD YOU BELIEVE IN GOD? – K. Scott Oliphint”

SACRED WARRIOR – Waiting in Darkness (2013)

The 80’s was the decade of great Christian music. Stryper led the way and several other bands followed. Barren Cross, Bloodgood, Holy Soldier, and Guardian set a new direction and gave musical hope for a multitude of young people who grew tired of what passed for “music” in that generation. One band that rose upContinue reading “SACRED WARRIOR – Waiting in Darkness (2013)”

DEVOURING FREEDOM: CAN BIG GOVERNMENT EVER BE STOPPED? – W. James Antle III (2013)

There are three unshakable realities in life: Death, taxes, and an ever-expanding government. The reality of death is one that each person must face. Taxes are indeed a reality, but as every conservative argues, taxes in America must decrease or the economy will inevitably falter. And while every American must deal with the reality ofContinue reading “DEVOURING FREEDOM: CAN BIG GOVERNMENT EVER BE STOPPED? – W. James Antle III (2013)”

TRIUMPHING OVER SINFUL FEAR – John Flavel (2011)

In 1682, John Flavel published his work, A Practical Treatise of Fear. Almost 330 years later, the fear continues to plague people. The simple fact is this: There are two kinds of people in the world – people who admit the battle with fear and those who don’t. For the people who fess up, Flavel’sContinue reading “TRIUMPHING OVER SINFUL FEAR – John Flavel (2011)”
