"The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city…"

Below are links to great volumes that contain the story of our Baptist heritage. Stories of our forefathers in faith and doctrine, many which paid a dear price for the things we take so lightly these days. To read all of this material would take many, many hours. I must confess, I still have much yet to read myself!

The work below is not mine, it only took me the time to find the material online and format the web page. I am thankful for WordPress, that provided this blog free of charge. I am thankful for the source sites that posted the books and writings. I am thankful for the lives and testimonies of my predecessors of the faith. Finally, I am most thankful for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that loved me, drew me to Himself, and saved my soul! I pray the writings below will be a challenge and encouragement to all that read them!

-Pastor Dave
