Book Review - Two Books, One Message

Book Review - Two Books, One Message

I have just finished two recent books published by the RFPA, and I thought to give you my reactions to them. The books both have a similar message and that is to spread the gospel to peoples of different races and cultures than our own. Even though they have a similar message, they are very different in the manner in which the message is written. One of the books is an expository nonfiction work, and the other is a realistic fiction book.

Book Review - "Harm’s Spiritual Struggle Embodies the Christian Life"

Book Review - "Harm’s Spiritual Struggle Embodies the Christian Life"

This Civil War novel is an excellent book for both young people and adults to read. Its Christian perspective from a first-person point-of-view reminds us again how the Christian life is not always easy. Spiritual dangers attack the elect on every side, no matter what time period they live in. Yet God continually gives us strength by His Holy Spirit to persevere until the end. 

Book Review - "Salvation in the Preaching of the Word"

Book Review - "Salvation in the Preaching of the Word"

I think that reading this book is a great reminder and in-depth proof of what our doctrine of salvation is and why it is true based on Scripture. To know our doctrine of salvation is not only important for our daily Christian life, but knowing about the false interpretation of "whosoever will may come" that is easily found in the world opens us up to opportunities to witness to those around us about the truth of salvation and encourage them to come to the pure preaching of the gospel!

Book Review - "A Fantastic Way to Refresh and Sharpen Our Minds"

Book Review - "A Fantastic Way to Refresh and Sharpen Our Minds"

Reading this book is a fantastic way to refresh and sharpen our minds on what we believe, and why we actually believe it. Rev. Hoeksema really emphasizes the importance of knowing what is right and wrong on topics like church order and governance, common and particular grace, and being spiritually resilient and steadfast in our faith through controversy and schism. Knowledge of how men handled these things in the past and where they went wrong is a very valuable tool for us today as we strive to uphold God's truth in the church.
