Introducing the fifth in a series of books with daily messages by R. J. Rushdoony on the uncompromising faith.
These daily messages on the faith for all of life are unlike any compilation of Christian “devotional” ever published. In these pages, you won’t find the overly introspective musings of a Christian pietist; what you’ll discover are the hard-hitting convictions of a man whose sole commitment was faithfulness to God’s law-word and representing that binding Word to his readers.
Although Dr. R. J. Rushdoony is most known for his scholarly works on theology, history, philosophy, economics, education, and statecraft, A Word in Season reveals the intense, but simple, approach to applying one’s faith to every area of life and thought. This is all done in a format of bite-sized readings on the uncompromising faith.
The multi-volume series is taken from over 430 articles written by Rushdoony over the span of 25 years (1966-1991) for the California Farmer, an agricultural periodical that provided him a regular column entitled “The Pastor’s Pulpit.” It has long been a desire of many to see these insightful and challenging articles published in a book format. We’re happy to announce that the wait is over. Read and enjoy!
