Most biblical Hebrew grammars currently available on the market introduce the features of biblical Hebrew through a traditional grammar-translation approach. Garrett & DeRouchies’s grammar adopts this traditional approach. The authors supplement the Textbook with ancillary materials on a CD, on a website, and with a fabulous Workbook of exercises… Garrett and DeRouchie have produced a very good and very intense grammar of biblical Hebrew. Its structure is excellent for those who wish to teach using a traditional grammar-translation method, but it leaves very little room for flexibility for those who wish to include interactive activities in the classroom.

As a Hollywood stuntman I want action and drama in every project I read. ENEMIES AMONG US provides both in a dynamic portrayal of the intensity and discipline it takes to fight the shadow war in the streets of America. As a stuntman I know it takes discipline and patience to be successful. After reading Bob’s first book, THE LAST UNDERCOVER, a non-fiction chronicle of his life in the FBI and now reading about a new fiction action hero, Matt Hogan, I realize it takes discipline and patience to be successful undercover. Thanks Bob for another great read.

Double Cross by James David Jordan is the sequel to Forsaken and continues the story of Taylor Pasbury, a brave twenty-nine year old woman who runs her own security company. Taylor is living with Kacey, daughter of a good friend who was murdered in the Forsaken. She promised to watch out for Kacey and the two have become as close as sisters. When the two women go to confront a former worker of Kacey’s father who appeared to have been embezzling from the business, they instead find her dead of an apparent suicide. The pieces just don’t add up to Taylor who can’t let the investigation go, especially when it seems to involve her newly returned mother, Hillary. Hillary and Taylor have been estranged for over twenty years, and their reunion is more than bumpy. Taylor is a fabulous character who is just learning what it means to be a Christian. Her faith has helped her beat her addiction to alcohol, but she still struggles with understanding just what being a Christian means. She’s enormously fun to read; her interior dialogue keeps the reader smiling, and wait until you see how she takes one bad guy down! When her friend Michael says, “They didn’t know what they were getting into” referring to messing with Taylor, he’s right on the money. Taylor is smart, funny, and tough, and I can’t wait to read what she does next.

I enjoyed this and thought it was a good sequel to Forsaken. Taylor is a very strong person but she also has quite a few issues, so it’s interesting to see how she handles things that come her way. The relationship between Taylor and her mother was quite interesting because her mother is quite a character.

“Numerous introductions to the NT continue to appear, which is hardly surprising since they serve as textbooks in beginning NT classes. The volume under consideration may be the best of the recent crop. The work begins with a useful study of scripture and the canon, which is fitting given the claims made by the documents studied. The second chapter ably surveys the historical context in which the NT was written, which is a very helpful addition for professors who want to expose students to the NT world but do not wish to add another book to the required reading list.”

Introduction to Evangelism is a text book written for the collegiate or seminary student who is serious about evangelism. Consequently, there are some “thick” parts that necessarily need to be “waded” through if being read by a non-seminarian. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is the convictional basis for evangelism.
Even though this is a textbook on evangelism and is written to Bible school or seminary student, this book should be made available in every evangelical church. If the truth were told, many Christians would say that they do not evangelize because they feel they are not properly equipped. Alvin Reid takes that excuse away and offers an experienced and educated understanding of evangelism.
