[Book] Rock of Ages study bible
by Guest Guest- 8 replies
- 6.5k views
I got this last week and wanted to do a review of it. :Green First impressions: This is a very substantial bible. I believe it is thicker than any other bible I own, I measured it and it is nearly a full two inches thick and measures aprox. 6-1/2 x 9 with a very readable 10 pnt font. I ordered mine in brown leather and in my copy the leather is a very dark brown almost black. The leather, paper, and binding seem to be of acceptable quality and while the leather is a little stiff now I am sure it will become more limber with time. This bible has two ribbon markers instead of the more normal one. I like that and wish more bibles came that way. The notes: This bible…

Speechless: Silencing the Christians by Rev. Donald E. Wildmon Forward by Ann Coulter This is an excellent book showing just how our enemies are working against Christianity, their real plans and agenda, as well as the outcome if they win...which would be very bad for Christians. Reading this book will help those who already know of the problems Christians face in America that in some areas things are worse than we thought. For those who don't realize how bad things really are, or who don't believe that which liberals are pressing is truly anti-Christian, this book may open your eyes. It's wonderful how this book not only points out how Christians can confront w…

Few years ago, my aunt gave us a collection of books called "The Bible Story" by Arthur S. Maxwell. I haven't read all of it yet, but some of it seem pretty decent so far. What is your opinion of it and should I get rid of them?

Wow. This is probably the most exhaustive book on evolution i've seen. It has 992 pages of facts and even more on their webstite www.evolution-facts.org This book so thoroughly refutes the theory of evolution that no evolutionist in their right mind could believe in the theory afterward. Ever heard of it?

The Flying Tigers, by John Toland, Landmark Books 1963. "The World War II exploits of America's heroic fighter pilots in China. What an excellent book to re-read after nearly 50 years. I recommend you read it during the Memorial Day weekend, a short read of only 158 pages.

I recently finished the book for the second time in a 4 or 5 month period and my wife has just finished it as well. I must say that it is of excellent quality and majors on how "God shapes us through the events of our lives". The illustrations are rich and powerful, his understanding of scripture is solid but the most important part of the book is his ability to enable the reader to focus on the events of their life as having been needed for Christ to make you who you are. If you have struggled with why something has happened to you in your Christian walk this boook could very well be a great encouragement to you. http://search.half.ebay.com/grand-weaver_W0QQmZbook…

Doctrines...not another doctrines book! Yes, but if you've read Tozer before then you know you'll come away scathed, to one degree or another. The Knowledge Of The Holy, as the title might suggest, centers on the doctrines of God. However, I've read and studied doctrines in a classroom environment and this is no ordinary doctrines book. From the outset the reader is challenged to prepare for a different slant. You are not allowed to close your Bible and think that God's word has been neatly tucked away until the next time of devotion. God's word is alive and in the pages of Tozer's book the reader is made aware to know God we must be living the living word.

The Little Baptist written by J. M. Martin published by Bogard Press. Its a reprint, 182 pages. A small book about a young girl from a Presbyterian family whose brother gives her a Bible as he is leaving for college. She starts calling this Bible a Baptist Bible for she discovers baptizing and works do not save you as the Presbyterian Church teaches. It would be a great book to put in the hands of those who are not saved and or those who believe baptizing and works is the path to heaven. After I started reading it I could not put it down until the end.

The Marketing Of Evil by David Kupelian $24.95 Excellent Book! I just finished it and for me it was a “fast” read. Approximately 230 pages. Bible Quotations are KJV, 1769. If you’re struggling with how to define what is happening in America and the primary reasons why homosexuality, U.S. Constitutional attack, culture change, family meltdown, sex obsession, failing government education, media prejudice, and abortion continue to gain ground then this book is an excellent source for understanding. The book also provides actions required for combating these atrocities. The last chapter describes what a Christian needs to do. In a word...Bullseye!

Our 20-something group is going through this book during the week and discussing it at our weekly meetups. This is actually our last week for it. It's a really interesting book by Tim Keller. I was unfamiliar with him, initially, but I like how he's taken the story of the prodigal son and taken it back to the focus that Christ initially had and to the point He was trying to make. Christ's audience was the pharisees and the point was made with the elder brother towards the end of the story that we often forget nowadays. Keller took a good look at both the elder and younger brother in this book and did a great jOB making applications and illustrations of both.

The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer Have you ever read Tozer? If Tozer truley lived what he writes in this book, then he was a modern day David, I don't know, God knows, I know he is inspiring. I've wanted to read this book for more than 30 years. I should have read it long before now. I began reading the book on line but had to have a copy in my hand. I read slowly on line until the copy I ordered arrived. First of all don't look for his Baptist credentials, he has none. In his book, The Pursuit of God, I found a man pouring out his desire to seek God "in spirit and in truth" more so than I ever have. For that matter, I've yet to meet anyone independen…

[Book] The Shack 1 2 3

In my travels last week, I got a chance to finally read The Shack. As promised, here is my review. It?s very rare, in my mind, for a book to live up to the hype surrounding it. Likely that is because the intellectuals that read and review books are much better at seeing quality writing then I am. That being said, the Shack lives up to its hype, and then some. Spoiler Warning? In this group, I would be foolish to not tackle the obvious concern right off the bat. God shows up as an African-American woman. For many that is a stumbling block. Let?s assume that God did decide to condescend to someone today with the intent of challenging that individual?s pre-conc…

Here's a great book you can read online by Sir Robert Anderson (author of The Coming Prince). It's pretty heavy reading compared to today's news print style of writing and a bit outdated in some parts but he throws a lot of light on probably the one thing that mankind questions about God more than any other. The Silence of God. Here's the link: http://www.newble.co.uk/anderson/silence/preface.html

Why I left the CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC MOVEMENT by Dan Lucarini Confessions Of A Former Worship Leader Evangelical Press 2002 I?m a KJB preferred Bible reader and user so; the insertion of another version for scriptural quotation was the only issue I had. The background information and personal testimony were sufficient to set the author?s authority to handle this discussion. Dan is able to carefully illustrate the effects of ?neo-worship music? on the pillars of our local churches; saints, who we need to observe, standing on the promises of God. You don't incorporate to alienate. Details are given of the arguments used in support of Rock/CCM or rock influ…

[Documentary Series] Victory At Sea
by Guest- 3 replies
- 978 views
The "Victory at Sea" series was produced by NBC for television in 1952-53. It details the classic sea battles of WWII and provides insight into the land struggles of both Europe and the Pacific. Did you know there was a huge struggle for the island of Malta in the Mediterranean after the fall of France? The events surrounding this conflict titled "Mediterranean Mosaic" and many others are detailed in this series. I used to watch these on 16MM reels while working in a film library in my early Navy days (1971-1972). They are in black and white, however the filming and narration are very good. No profanity is a huge plus. I picked up a double disk set at Wallmart for $5 …

We watched this in seminary. It's not for everyone, because someone weak in their faith could take it the wrong way. It's titled "Marjoe" and it's about a guy who was a traveling evangelist from the age of 4. When he was in his 20's he decided to come clean and admit that he didn't even believe in God. He had a film crew follow him around for his last round of crusades. It's very enlightening in regards to the methods people use to con weak christians. He was part of the holiness movement and did the whole healing/slayed-in-the-spirit stuff. The first part is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKln1sQXvmo, and you can find the other parts from there. We've been watchin…

Finally, I'm getting around to reading 'Living Your Faith', by Charles Finney. It is a good read for all of us who need encouragement, during these times, to "keep himself unspotted from the world."

We watched this last night. Such a good movie! The TenBoom family of Holland were not Jews. They were Christians. When the Nazis took over the country, the TenBooms became involved in hiding Jews and helping them escape. Love for and trust in God was so evident in their lives! They were betrayed and captured. Papa TenBoom died not long after his capture. Corrie was in prison, and was called into the lieutenant's office. He was trying to break her, but she didn't break. And then he asked her what kind of God allows an old man to die in prison and be buried in a pauper's grave (because no-one was able to claim the body). Even that didn't bring tears (until lat…

Amazing Grace, based on the life of antislavery pioneer William Wilberforce. The movie captured the period and Ioan Gruffudd and capturend the man. I thought the screenplay was great. I watch few movies because I can't sit through them without something appearing which can't be shared with my God. The Lord could be in the room with me for this movie. Rent and watch or buy this movie for your library. (on line movie preview) http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/index.php

As With Roses - The True Untold Story of Obadiah Holmes. Watch the trailers here. http://www.shilohfilms.org/films.htm Has anyone seen this movie? I realize that the quality of the movie is probably not that good, but I will be watching this movie very soon. I'll give you the review after I watch it.

The trailer is public and the excitement is building. "Courageous" is about fatherhood and having the courage to stand, even if it means standing alone. But "Courageous" is rated PG-13 and there does not seem to be any concern about the rating. I find it rather suspicious especially after what we were told by Stephen Kendrick last year. Here is a quote from Baptist Press dated May 28, 2010 - Will pastors be "honored" by recommending that their people go see a PG-13 movie? (As a side note, I think it is a dishonor for pastors to recommend that their people go to the movie theater to see any movie). How long will it be before Sherwood Baptist Church produces an R ra…

I hope I did not imply that the translators were inspired; they did not say anything like that of themselves. I would like to know if some of the members of this forum consider the KJV as the word of God in English, as I do. If anyone claims that the KJV is the word of God, then it is (for them, at the least) inspired. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 2 Timothy 3:16a "We know where God's word is now..." does not make that clear to me. -

Yet, when taken out of context they breed the likes of Ruckman. We know where God's word is now... apparently you're being intentionally obtuse considering you quoted from it. -
A sandwich tried to get a reservation at a restaurant, but the waiter said they don’t serve food there. There are three types of people: those who can count and those who can’t. He was addicted to the hokey pokey, but thankfully, he turned himself around. I finished the puzzle in six months, even though the box said it would take 4 to 5 years. I’ve had amnesia for as long as I can… It was an emotional wedding — even the cake was in tiers.

Thank you for responding. I did not catch that part. That brought to mind a two part question. These verses: Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. and Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. If you think these words are true and that His word is for ever, where is it now?

So .he believes not only in the "preservation" of the Bible for the English speaking people to be the KJV, but that it's also "inspired?" He apparently believes in the double inspiration theory put forth by the likes of Peter Ruckman. Sorry, but you'll NEVER get me to buy into that position.
