Hi. Welcome to the forum. I hope you find something of interest here. There are lots of great recommendations if you are a reader. Other interesting things too. Share your thoughts.

When I go to church on Sunday, we sit and listen to our Pastor teach and instruct. He follows an outline, but tries to clarify some point in scripture. After service, a small group meets to study a bible topic, usually with a study guide authored by a noted and learned bible scholar. We...

Edwin Markham is a favorite of mine. I found a large book in a used book store, "Masters of Religious Verse" edited by James Morrison. It is enormous, full of beautiful things from authors both known and unknown.

I have owned a Savage Model 110 chambered for .223 for many years. It has a heavy fluted barrel and laminated stock. I fit it with a Tasco variable scope and installed a bench follower to convert t to a single shot. It is extremely accurate and the .223 is relatively cheap to shoot. I...

We must be kindred spirits, I have read 1,2 & 3 and couldn't agree more. Lewis is at the top of my list. I will check out the p.s. Thanks!

I'll let you know.

Be careful what you pray for. “The Great Awakening”, that which occurred after the American Revolution, did indeed turn many toward the church, but at what price? It was largely based on anti-authoritarian attitudes; attitudes that revolted against the structure and traditions that existed in...

Spot on!

I am right there with you all the way. Thanks for posting,

I have read McArthur's Twelve ordinary men and enjoyed it very much. The Miller book sounds a little like where I am today. I have ordered a copy. Thanks!

I'll check it out....Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am trying to develop a reading list and hope to avoid "the chaff".

(I hope this is appropriate for this thread.) I would really like to hear about any Christian book(s) that had a profound influence on your "walk". A.W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God is one I have read time and time again. Any recommendations?

Why would God create a Yorkie? I sought an answer in great dusty halls, Searching thick volumes stacked on the walls, Written in languages no one can speak, But found no answers to the question I seek. I climbed the Himalayans to speak to the sage, And sought the witch doctors from every age...

To save some hours of toil and strife; I took a shortcut through the night. The dark enfolded bleak and tight; I fain could rush my urgent flight. My leg encountered unseen rock; That nearly dropped me on the spot. Yet onward in the flowing night; Stumbling through my waxing fright. I heard...

You know, I think I am beginning to understand what you mean....it only took two years! I'm not sure I am bright enough to do it yet, but I do finally "get it". Thank you for your insight and honesty!

Walking alone and lonely, out to the very end. A narrow sliver jutting into the sea. Cold, unpleasant; low clouds darkly overhead, Flew the wind pushed steady and strong. Below, waves spend themselves orderly against the rocks, Striking in rhythm and great energy, assured and fearless. Spray...

Study the Bible, Lead a biblical life, “The Bible” in twelve easy chapters, Apply scripture to your every-day strife. But something is amiss, It ends empty and wanting, We remain the same, Still hungry and panting. When finally we find, Scripture’s not the goal, But one of His means, To make...

That what is not necessary, For us to know of salvation, Is God’s privileged domain, Not to be disturbed. Obedience and reverence forbid our inquiry, Yet some are passionate to know. But we please God most When we leave it alone. We should seek nothing but God’s Holy will To do less is vain...
