This book is something of a mixed bag, but I really profited from reading it, and so I can cheerfully recommend it to you. What I brought away from the book was that the sins were largely the sins of Hilaire Belloc and Cecil Chesterton, Gilbert’s younger brother. The author does prove that both of …
Book of the Month/February 2023
Many moons ago, I wrote an article for the magazine Antithesis, in which I argued that the Solemn League and Covenant had been broken and set aside by a disobedient people, but the covenant had not thereby evaporated. I was therefore exceedingly pleased to see that someone had written a small book that made the …
Book of the Month/January 2023
One of the things that separates Jews and Christians is that the Christians have seen the various messianic streams of the Old Testament as all coming together as fulfilled in Christ. In the understanding ...
Book of the Month/December 2022
From time to time I have confessed, or perhaps acknowledged would be a better word, and perhaps I am taking too long to come to the point, that I read dictionaries. I suppose you could categorize this as a guilty pleasure, but guilt is not really the right word. Sheepishness is more like it. Today’s …
Book of the Month/November 2022
I am a day or so early with my book-of-the-month selection, which I am doing so as to not clutter up the first part of November next week. I hear other stuff is going to be happening then. For being early like this, I resolutely refuse to apologize. Let me tell you first how I …
Book of the Month/August 2022
Introduction: So the book I have selected for this month is the latest offering from Peter Zeihan entitled The End of the World is Just the Beginning. It is, in turns, exhilarating, encouraging, provocative, and horrifying. Even if you don’t buy his thesis wholesale, it remains a fascinating and informative read. This is his fourth …
Book of the Month/July 2022
In case you can’t make out the subtitle on the cover there, it reads, “A Liturgy for Daily Worship.” This book, Be Thou My Vision, is a wonderful tool for family worship. Not only is it a tool, but it is an adjustable tool. The first part of the book is made up of 31 …
Book of the Month/June 2022
So I feel like a ten-year-old boy who has found, on the very same day, a perfect throwing rock and also a huge nest of hornets under the eaves of his house. The atmosphere is electric, but the obvious thing to do is to just let fly, and keep the comments closed. This book was …
Book of the Month/May 2022
This is a book that is required reading for every Christian who is active in politics at the local level. Although postmill thinkers excel at thinking about the long game, it is possible at the same time to neglect the possibility of the three-yard gain. The possibility of such neglect will be greatly reduced if …
Book of the Month/April 2022
As many of you know, I preach from the King James Version of the Bible. If any of you are interested in learning the basic reasons why, this little book should do it. When I was working through these issues surrounding all this, lo, these many years ago, I read a boatload of material from …
