The Christian Mind – Harry Blamires
My uncle Dwight gave me this book almost thirty years ago. I’ll never forget what he said when he handed it to me: “Only real men can read this book.” Whether it was meant to motivate or amuse, I read it with a vengeance. This is my third time through.

The Pagan Heart of Today’s Culture – Peter Jones
Peter Jones has been writing about paganism for many years now. While many are put off by the term “pagan,” Jones is simply offering the critical components of a worldview which is growing with a vengeance. The troubling news is that many Christ-followers are either unaware of the tentacles of paganism or could care less.Continue reading “The Pagan Heart of Today’s Culture – Peter Jones”
