A Better Covenant

These two books I feel is a must have for our time since the Word Of Faith Movement has infiltrated almost all avenues of Christianity as we know it.

1)The author McConnell attended of college name ORU(Oral Roberts University) in which he realized that the basis for his beliefs were faulty. The author does the best research on this topic to date regarding the history of this movement. I have to be honest and say it was not the best read but was potent with factual Biblical information and this was the book that kicked me out of my church. Of course we know it was the Sovereign work of Christ but this was a great tool for me. McConnell destroys this heretical teaching by getting to its beginning. READ IT!

2)The second is by our Armenian friend Hank H. I don’t agree with all he and who he endorses but this book is a work of art. I think his definition of Biblical Faith is the best I have read thus far. He does a great exegetical study on what is meant in Mark 11:22 on faith.

3) Charismatic Chaos, I love some John MacArthur and usually whatever you buy with his name on it, you can bet it is worth your time. I think he brings up some great points on the insidiousness we see in our present churches. The only thing in this book that might be debated is his strong cessationist view on the gifts. I agree with him on this but cannot totally limit the sovereignty of God based on his proof texts.

4) How many times do we hear about the legalism in tithing amongst other things in the church today. This books destroys the manipulation you see in churches using Malachi as proof texts. MacArthur gives a great view of the Biblical view of giving from a Christian perspective according to the scriptures.

5) Wasted Faith is not for the weak. This is the smallest book of all of the ones previously listed but it is very potent. This is my pastor’s book and I have read it multiple times. He does a lot of work talking about the book of 1 John and the fact that we are to regularly examine our-self to see if we are of Christ. Simply Wonderful book.

6) Walter Martin was a great apologist who is now deceased. He was defending the faith before I was a twinkle in my fathers eye. I enjoyed this book and it really gives a background of the various beliefs of past and in our day. What I enjoyed about this lenthy book is his great defense of the Trinity.

7) Black and Reformed by Carter was great book. It obviously gives a short history on reformed theology and TULIP. Great great read. I did not agree with all of the people Carter endorsed but aside from that I highly recommend this book.

Hank does great job in defending the Resurrection the single most important part of the Faith. Another wonderful read and great nuggets to help you defend the Faith the was once delivered to all the saints alike. 1 Peter 3:15.

9) Tulip was foundational for me. This book pretty much closed the deal with understanding the history of Calvinism and the History of it. Great short read.
