-
- Grace Community Church - Virginia Beach, Va.
-
- -Dave Hunt & T.A. McMahon, "The Seduction of Christianity", Harvest
- House Publishers, Eugene, Oregon, 239P.
-
- This is an excellent book written for our times. The Authors name
- names and exposes the danger to Sound Doctrine by the intrusion of such
- things as cosmic wisdom, humanism, the ocult, psychology and the New
- Age philosophy. They also expose some of the modern day hucksters that
- abound today. This is a very good book, one that should be read by
- every Pastor.
-
- -Frank Tellapaugh, "Unleashing the Church".
-
- This is a good work on diversity in the Local Church's outreach. You
- can get some good ideas on how to get the most out of your present
- building (if you have one) by diversification of ministrys.
-
- -Gene Edwards, "A Tale of Three Kings",
-
- An excellent study on Brokenness. If you have ever gone through a
- split or a power struggle of any kind. This is the book for you.
- Perhaps you, like myself could think of several people you would like
- to have read it.
-
- -J. Grant Howard, "Balancing Life's Demands", Multnomah Press,
- Portland, OR, $5.95.
-
- This is an excellent work on Priorities. We are all familiar with
- the phrase, "Keeping your priorities in order" - well Howard does and
- excellent job of killing that sacred cow. The popular view of
- Priorities goes something like this; God, Family, Job, Church etc. The
- Author uses Matthew 22:34-40 as a spring board to launch out into Five
- main areas to explain how the Believer is to keep his life in Balance.
- The pentagon in the center contains Self and God with the 5 points
- representing Family, Church, World, Work and Government. I found it a
- fresh approach to the application of ALL the imperatives we find in the
- Word. Scottie Allen.
-
- -Cecil R. Paul, "Passages of a Pastor" (publisher unknown). Ron
- McMuray, PT, Norwich, CT.,

- one later.

- NOTE: If any of you have any good books that you think would be
- helpful, please send Scottie a review of it and it will be added. After
- all you are what you read!
