A new blog has been born. You are invited to participate in any way you can think of to help insure that every aspect of the Christian apologetic (defense of the faith) is represented in this great debate. There doesn't appear to be another place on the web where atheists and Christians of every stripe have a chance to debate the existence of God.Come visit today, bookmark the site and come

I've been meaning to do a review of this outstanding compilation of articles. But our assistant pastor beat me to the punch and did a way better job than I could ever do. So let me just give you a couple of paragraph intro. Then if you're interested, you can read the rest of the review here.In the eleven years I have been married I have read many Christian books on dating, marriage,

I would certainly hate to be responsible for anyone getting off their Christian reading track, and getting immersed in secular stuff. However, in the interest of good literature generally, I'll point to a list of the all time best fiction offered up by Time Magazine.I'm confident that they will have many who believe that this list is way off base. I was happy to see the inclusion of C.S.

I know it has been a while since the last post. The good news about this blog is that the info that is already posted is timeless. I hope is it useful as well. My personal blog is about all I can manage to keep current right now. I have a bunch of material I want to place here, but other priorities (wife, kids, church, work) seem to be getting in the way. No promise of the timing of the next

End Times? Originally uploaded by Randy Kirk. Kind of reminds me of the Left Behind series. Ok. It also reminds me of the original upon which Tim LaHaye based his books, the Bible. This picture, however, gives me a much better idea of what it must have been like for the Egyptians. It doesn't look like much fun to be around those Locusts.This was taken in the Middle East in 2004.

Jollyblogger seems to be on everyone's list of favorite blogs. I don't know if he is that good, or just that the name stands out. However, I've been reading him for a while and find his content to be excellent. In fact, for anyone interested in the emergent church, he seems to be offering a great place to check out what's actually going on in that movement. For more Jollyblogger wisdom go

Thank you for writing In Touch Ministries.There are two books that have most impacted Dr. Stanley's life. One of the books that Dr. Stanley mentioned is called "They Found the Secret" by V. Raymond Edmon. It contains biographical sketches of several Christians, but the one that Dr. Stanley most identifies with is Hudson Taylor. Dr. Stanley says: "I read about three paragraphs and I thought to

George Barna, the Gallup of the Christian world, has posted the results of a poll his organization compiled with pastors. They were asked about the books and authors that most influenced them. Rick Warren was the big winner among pastors. For more

This may seem a bit strange, but you'll just have to trust me. If you have not read Mere Christianity yet, and you need to be convinced, go to the reviews on Amazon.com and you will get all the convincing you need. Outstanding reviews!!

It had been my intention for this site to be coming together more quickly than it has. Distractions have been the order of the day, but many of these are good distractions. Birthday parties, baby showers for grandchild #3 due any time, church picnics, baseball playoffs for our own baby (Robert - 9.) Two things will help in my efforts. We added another laptop to the family, so I won't have to

FAVORITE BOOKS AND AUTHORS OF DR. DOBSON The following is a quote from Dr. James C. Dobson in which he cites those books and authors which have impacted his life. (c) 1987 Focus on the Family Rather than select three or more books which exceed all others in their impact on my life, I prefer to commend the authors whose collection of writings are most highly prized. This is an easier

Chuck Colson's Favorite BooksThe following are books identified by Chuck Colson as having been critical to his intellectual and spiritual development. * C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (and anything else by Lewis, especially The Abolition of Man) * Francis Schaeffer. How Should We Then Live? * Francis Schaeffer. The God Who Is There. * Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The Gulag

Contemplating my own list of the best Christian books of the past 105 years, I am first drawn to the standards such as Mere Christianity, Spirit of the Disciplines, and such. But the book which may have most influenced my life is Bill Hybel's Descending Into Greatness. He was able to fully explain the futility of "things" in a way I have not seen or heard, before or since. I actually took

You've heard about various groups who are posting libraries on the web. Here's one that is posting various Christian classics a bit older than the ones this blog is concentrating on. However, they are free to download for the most part. Some require a membership. Worth a visit. Maybe a few.

I'm enjoying putting this site together as much as anyone. However, I want to thank readers for their words of encouragement at this early stage.

Today is the launch of a project that has been my heart's desire for a very long time. The internet has changed many things, and one of those is that good books can live forever, and be readily available as long as they are useful. Hundreds of new books enter commerce each year, and readers scramble to figure out which of those to read. But there are classics that are commonly going to produce
