Good Christian Authors

[AnotherSinner]

Reading outside of the Bible has been scarcely practiced anymore now days for me. Yet I have been looking for deeper insight on Biblical issues.

Are there any Good Christian Writers out there?

If so, who are they?

Are any of these truly good?

A.W. Tozer

Dave Hunt

Jacob Prasch

Roger Oakland

Spiros Zodhiates

A few I like. They all differ on minor theological points but they all love Jesus. Some of them have shared platforms at conferences.

Tozer saw all this stuff going on in the church today back in the fifties, his writings are interesting. I find him extremely exhorting.

Both Spiros and Tozer are with the Lord, Oakland and Hunt are of poor health, Dave being in a home now and in his eighties and Prasch is still active in traveling and missions. He is controversial and is asked not come back in many places he speaks in the USA so just on that alone he is worth reading. He is always naming names and coming against false doctrine.

Well, there's me!

My latest book is now available (The God--Conomy) is now available at createspace.com and on Amazon.

I specifically ask you to buy 100,000 copies, and 'thanks in advance!'

As mentioned, A.W. Tozer is outstanding and time tested.

F.F. Bruce has written many excellent commentaries and books.

A key area where Christians need to be clear about the Bible's teaching on basics and the wordl's distortions of them is dealt with here:

[Romans623]

I particularly like Lee Strobel. His "Case For..." series is instructive, inspiring and edifying.

Mr. Strobel effectively answers critics of God and the Bible on many levels. He interviews

the experts who provide otherwise inaccessible answer that expose the criticisms as disingenuous.

He is particularly good in "The Case For The Real Jesus." He tackles the accusations leveled against

the original manuscripts that make up the Bible as we know. His defense of them is insightful

and intuitive. He chooses people to interview who have their finger on the pulse of the most important

experience and background to derail the vicious, and often caustic criticisms. As a laymen,

I would not begin to know how to answer or silence these critics, or where to find the sources that could.

Lee Strobel provides great support and relief by making those powerful responses available in his books.

Thanks Romans,

I have really been wanting to look into that series. Think I just might do it too!

May God Bless You

Dani

[Mark2005]

My favourite might well be Philip Yancey. He's not afraid to tackle controversial issues, doesn't bore you with a bunch of dead theology or empty promises. And is writing style is one I wish I could copy.

If you can your hands on any books by these authors, you will be blessed tremendously. Even better, most of these guys have plenty of material online for free. Just google them.

H.A. Ironside

H.C.G Moule

C.H. Mackintosh

Horatius Bonar

Ray Steadman

J. Vernon McGee

C.I. Scofield (yes, I said Scofield, do not be deterred by his slanderers. This man is one of the greatest bible teachers to ever live)

I like Lee Strobel to because he is so good at breaking down and delivering what it is he is saying.

Also like Ironside. Am currently reading a book recommended here entitled Heaven by Randy Alcorn.

He is way to wordy for my taste, though his view is definitely interesting.

I liked Dr. H. Morris who was both a Christian and a Scientist, especially his book The Genesis Record.

As an Hydrologist he wrote the Genesis Flood, which is technical, if you can wade through it. Dry stuff!

Barnhouse is another author I have read.
