Book Review: Wayne Grudem's Evangelical Feminism
By: Kevin Giles | July 31, 2008
Evangelical Feminism is written to further a cause that has consumed the author's working life: the permanent subordination of women as God's ideal.

The fundamental seismic fault in the author's thinking is that he cannot differentiate between the [...]

By: Aída Besançon Spencer | January 31, 2008
In a time when wealth and prosperity are more welcomed than the cost of discipleship, Climbing the Dragon's Ladder is a timely historical novel.
