I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
-Groucho Marx, 1890-1977
The Bible
I have been reading through the entire bible once a year for the past few years. The schedule I am using takes me through the New Testament, Old Testament, and Psalms/Proverbs concurrently. Why the King James Version?
One Thing You Can’t Do in Heaven by Mark Cahill Every follower of Christ is called to tell others the most joyful news ever announced. Mark Cahill obviously takes our Lord and Savior's Great Commission very seriously. One Thing You Can't Do In Heaven is filled with fascinating accounts, practical tips, and sobering wisdom on evangelism. May God bless the distribution of this book. -Dr. Bill Bright (Campus Crusade for Christ)
C. H. Spurgeon Autobiography: The Early Years, 1834-1859 by Charles Spurgeon Read the entire book online. "Spurgeon was called "The Prince of Preachers" for his fantastic oratorical skill and his incredible fidelity to the gospel-both of these elements come through vividly in this autobiography. Spurgeon's gift for words is evident, as he writes extremely well; and his obvious passion for gospel preaching and the glory of God is challenging and inspiring. Definitely worth the read." -FJC "Flynn" (DC)
The Evolution Handbook by Vance Ferrell Formerly, "The Evolution Cruncher", read the entire book online. "The greatest thing about this book is its complete coverage. It can save you a lot of money in obtaining comprehensive data on evolutionary theory, and how to reply to it. The definitive work on the subject, it answers every basic theory; yet it is remarkably easy to read." -Dr. Peter S. Ruckman
Which Version is the Bible? by Floyd Jones Download and read the entire 1999 PDF version online. "Being a Sunday School teacher, I was greatly blessed by reading this book as it settled the issue for me. Now I can study the Word with confidence, not having to constantly second guess whether the rendering of any particular version is correct." -Poul deGier (Canada)
God's Missiles Over Cuba by Tom White Imprisoned for 17 months, Tom White survived to tell the thrilling story of God's suffering church behind the Sugar Cane Curtain. In the 1970's, the threat of missiles from Fidel Castro's Cuba was one of America's great fears. Castro's fear is of another kind of missiles. For seven years, Tom White led a massive gospel invasion of Cuba to bring the peace of God to this downtrodden island in the Caribbean. More than 400,000 pieces of Christian literature - missiles of love - were either dropped from the sky or carried ashore by the sea. -[back cover]
Money, Possessions & Eternity by Randy Alcorn Read a sample chapter. "For the last thirteen years, Money, Possessions and Eternity has been my textbook on how I should manage my finances and giving. This book has helped me determine how best to help the poor, how to keep from hoarding, how to maintain right priorities, and how to understand what the Bible says about eternal rewards. Randy Alcorn is a very perceptive guide - I welcome this fresh new revision of a life-changing book." -Hugh Maclellan, President, The Maclellan Foundation
Word of the Day
I think games like Scrabble, Balderdash, and other word games are fun. So, I really enjoy increasing my vocabulary, or at least the ability to recognize and understand more of the English language. I especially enjoy Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day because I can listen to the podcast directly from the RSS feed.
Finished Reading
Fox's Book of MartyrsThis is a book that will never die - one of the great English classics. . . . It has been reprinted here in its most complete form.
"After the Bible itself, no book so profoundly influenced early Protestant sentiment as the Book of Martyrs. Even in our time it is still a living force. It is more than a record of persecution. It is an arsenal of controversy, a storehouse of romance, as well as a source of edification."
Hell's Best Kept Secret
Learn why so many of those making professions of faith are turning away. It is vital that we return to Biblical evangelism. Read Chapter 1. Find out why this is my fourth time reading through the book since the beginning of last year.
How to win Souls and Influence People by Ray Comfort
Read a sample chapter. "I've read just about everything Ray's written, and this book is my far and above favorite! It's extremely practical, giving hundreds of real life examples. Every time I read it, I get re-convicted, re-energized and re-inspired to get out there and share my faith." -Anna Jackson (CA)
The World's Greatest Preachers by Ray Comfort
See sample chapters below. "In this work, Comfort and Cameron, bring honor posthumously to the greatest oral preachers of the 19th Century, and leave their imposing voices thundering in our hearts and minds. The sermon by George Whitefield (pronounced Whitfield) 'The Lord Our Righteousness' is the cornerstone of this volume, and I too accept it to be the greatest sermon ever preached.... Edwards, Torrey, Spurgeon, Wesley, all weigh in and bring the importance of the Law in convincing sinners by way of their conscience, to bear on Christians. A beautiful and gracious book." -J. Schoeman (S.A.)
Biblical Basis for Modern Science by Henry Morris
This is the most complete and authoritative reference book available on science and the Bible, with each chapter dealing with one of the key sciences in relation to Scripture, in addition to separate chapters on theology, cosmology, miracles, and Biblical creationism.
New Age Bible Versions by G.A. Riplinger
Read a sample chapter. "We were diehard NIV users for years, but this book convinced us otherwise." -Mary Pride, Practical Homeschooling
The Chronology of the Old Testament by Floyd Jones
The Chronology of the Old Testament has one goal to accomplish: to demonstrate "that every chronological statement contained in the Sacred Writ is consistent with all other chronological statements contained therein." The author carefully and thoroughly investigates the chronological and mathematical facts of the Old Testament, proving them to be accurate and reliable. This biblically sound, scholarly, and easy-to-understand book will enlighten and astound its readers with solutions and alternatives to many questions Bible scholars have had over the centuries.
The Pastor's Wife by Sabina Wurmbrand
"Incredible witness to me of how God takes care of us - leads us - strengthens us - when all seems lost, all hope gone - He opens a way. This is my third time through the book in the past year and a half - each time I am taught something new about myself and my relationship with God - I am encouraged and challanged and of course have fallen in love with my brothers and sisters who suffer for Christ...I have notes and scripture written in the margines and in the front and back of the book." -Maxine F. (AZ)
Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand
"Back in my preteen years, I first read Pastor Richard Wurmbrand's book Tortured For Christ. It had a big influence on how I viewed religious freedom in Soviet bloc countries. Wurmbrand wrote this book after his release from Romanian prisons in 1964, and he did so to share the story of how the underground churches in Communist countries have to operate in order to spread the Word and their faith." -Thomas Duff (OR)
