Resources by Topic: Book Reviews and Recommended Materials

While on a recent family vacation I pulled out an advance DVD of the first episodes of Phil Vischer’s “What’s in the Bible” (whatsinthebible.com). I asked my five-year-old grandson Matthew Franklin if he wanted to watch something by the guy who created VeggieTales.

Recommended books, booklets, and websites.

I’d recommend a book called Informed Answers to Gay Rights Questions, by Roger Magnuson. I’ve read it and its helpful. Also, a book by R. F. Lovelace, called Homosexuality and the Church.

Read only the best books. Do not neglect books. Do not neglect THE Book.

These books include God Wins and Why, O God?

These books include The Resolution for Men and The Game Plan for Life.

Read the many endorsements Randy Alcorn has written for other authors' books.  

I’ve bought and given away ten copies of “The Far Country” to friends and family.

To those wishing to explore a biblical perspective on demonic nature and activity, as well as spiritual warfare, Randy recommends these books: 3 Crucial Questions about Spiritual Warfare, by Clinton Arnold (Baker Books, 1997). Lord Foulgrin’s Letters, by Randy Alcorn

The John Piper book When I Don’t Desire God: How to Fight for Joy is good.  Also good is John Piper’s book When the Darkness Does Not Lift, available online from the Desiring God website.

Recommended books on Heaven for children.

Various resources about reincarnation.

I've recently been reading G. K. Chesterton's book Orthodoxy and his little book on St. Thomas Aquinas.

I would recommend: Children Demand a Verdict by Josh McDowell Answers to Your Kid's Questions by Chuck Colson
