Some Really Great Questions and Comments From the Last Two Weeks [Part II]

Part II :

History is an important tool that God has given us. I believe that it is important for us to study history. There is an old proverb that says "they that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I believe that the proverb is true. If we don't study history how do we know about other people's mistakes. WE could make those same mistakes; without even knowing it! History also shows God's providence in warfare. William Potter said "to study history, is to study the providence of God." You may not like history. You may not like to read about it. But you should purpose to read at least, one history book at your pace, however long it might take you; but still read it! My favorite way of learning history is to read historical fiction books by George Henty and Robert Ballantyne. -Jeremiah S.

Jeremiah, I think that you have stated it very clearly. Whether or not we enjoy learning about history it is our duty to learn about it and study because we are to "know the deeds of our fathers." -JT

Will Vision Forum be releasing any additional titles by Ballantyne in 2009? If so, when might we expect them? - Kevin

YES! Lord willing in mid 2009 we will be releasing another series of books. I cant give titles or dates yet, but be prepared! -JT
