Blessings and Balderdash: Commentaries from The Christian Index, America’s Oldest Religious Publication

$19.95

For 15 years, J. Gerald Harris sat at the helm of America’s oldest Christian publication, The Christian Index. Now, we have a collection of the best and brightest, the “blessings” and the “balderdash” that flowed from his pen into his weekly editorials. With over 400 editorials to his name, this collection contains the heart of Christian thinking about current events over the 15-year period from 2003 to 2018. From thoughts about the Southern Baptist Convention to atheism to Mother Theresa to post-modern culture, and so much more, this book will encourage you, provoke you, and enlighten your understanding of the flow of Christian thought during this pivotal time.

While this book is not about dispensationalism, it is written by a pre-trib, pre-millennial author with a conservative Biblical worldview.

This book is published through Trust House Publishers, our partner ministry for independent publishing.
