The book we are focusingon for this month's POST is The Answer of Jesus to Job by G. Campbell Morgan. Morgan wrote during the early 1900s. His book is a rare and hidden gem surrounded by the writings of late 1800s and early 1900s liberal authors. Liberal writers during Campbell's era were pioneering naturalistic interpretations of Scripture with a Darwinian flare, focus...

I am thrilled to highly recommend this book by Fitzpatrick and Johnson. Comprehensive and yet, simple, it is a book conducive for every member of the church. This is a book that provides a biblical analysis of the condition of the heart and fleshes out the promise of the gospel in the incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, particularly as God's an...

If a Christian was on a mission to study the Bible to retrieve the God-given roles for a Christian marriage, he or she might be surprised to find that roles are generally identified. Largely missing are the prescriptive details the "how to's." The ideas of leading, loving, serving as a head, and instructing children are attributed to the role of husbands. Submitting, hon...
