History of the Lincoln County War by Maurice G. Fulton
A few years ago my family visited Ruidoso, NM for a summer vacation. In addition to climbing Sierra Blanca–the peak at Ski Apache, we enjoyed the rich history of the area, which is in Lincoln County.
Mr. Pipes and the British Hymn Makers by Douglas Bond
If you are interested in learning about the church and its hymns, its history, its people, and, most of all, about God, Douglas Bond is a must-read author. He writes a variety of fiction and non-fiction for adults and teens (though all of his books are of great benefit to adults) that are focused on…
Flags Out Front by Douglas Wilson
In the midst of Republicans and Christians retreating in the face of relativist attacks on God, Doug Wilson shows us the path to success with principled opposition to the left in the culture wars today.

“Beware the one who makes his living off criticizing the sin of others.” – Pastor Eric Landry, discussing the actions of Ham against his father Noah in a sermon on Genesis 9. As I think about how biblically-minded Christians can deal with the constant assaults from the left, three things really stand out to me….
Galileo by Mitch Stokes
Galileo by Mitch Stokes is a highly entertaining and informative book that helps rewrite the conventional wisdom the it was the church that stood in the way of Galileo and others as they pushed forward the idea that the earth was not the center of the universe. The geocentric view was in fact widely adhered to…
The Family Romanov by Candace Fleming
I enjoyed reading The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion, and the Fall of Imperial Russia by Candace Fleming to my son (age 12). It kept him thoroughly engaged. My wife enjoyed it when she read it too. It also provides a sad commentary on elitism, both on the blindness of the elite to the real world around them…
