I have a friend who was born in 1834. That would make him 183 years old. He went home to be with Jesus in 1892 – at the peak of his ministry and in the prime of his life. I have often asked why God takes the heroes of the faith so soon – Jonathan […]

The New Reagan Revolution – Michael Reagan (2010)
Michael Reagan has captured the essence of President Reagan’s values, fiscal policy, and tough-minded leadership in his book, The New Reagan Revolution. The sub-title should jolt any thinking American – “How Ronald Reagan’s Principles Can Restore America’s Greatness.” Clearly, we have drifted far from President Reagan’s vision for America. The city of the hill that he […]

The Puritan, John Winthrop spoke of America as “the city on a hill” as he gazed upon the shores of his new home from the confines of his ship, the Arbella.

No Final Conflict – Francis Schaeffer (1975)
“It is my conviction that the crucial area of discussion for evangelicalism in the next years will be Scripture. At stake is whether evangelicalism will remain evangelical.” So stated Francis Schaeffer in his 1975 landmine, No Final Conflict. While this treasure was penned nearly thirty years ago, it remains relevant and applicable to 21st-century culture. […]
He is There and He is Not Silent- Francis Schaeffer (1972)
I first read He is There and He is Not Silent by Francis Schaeffer in 1992. Multiple readings have ensued and I turn back to Schaeffer’s book again and again for help with apologetics. Schaeffer argues for three basic areas of philosophical thought: metaphysics (being or existence), morals (the dilemma of man), and epistemology (the […]
Forensic Faith
He is an experienced cold-case detective and he is a committed follower of Jesus Christ. J. Warner Wallace brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in his new book, Forensic Faith. The book is apologetic in nature but is laced with evangelistic fervor. Several features mark Forensic Faith and make it a beneficial resource toContinue reading “Forensic Faith”
Two Contents, Two Realities – Francis Schaeffer (1974)
Sometimes the best things come in small packages. Case in point: Two Contents, Two Realities by Francis Schaeffer. To call it a booklet would be inaccurate. To call it a pamphlet would be insulting. The worst accusation one could hurl at this work is irrelevant or outdated. Originally published in 1974 as a position paper that […]
