The Indestructible Book

The Indestructible Book by Dr. David Brown is a very valuable tool for anyone interested in the modern debates over preservation, the Traditional Text, and the King James Bible. The greatest thing about this book is that it demonstrates clearly that we have an Indestructible Bible. It takes a lot of diligent study to "get up to speed" on the many points of controversy that are part of this discussion. This book is a great head start on understanding these issues because of Dr. Brown's knowledge and insight into them and by the way the material is presented. The Indestructible Book by Dr. David Brown reinforces, educates and strengthens our faith. It is worthy of your time and attention. Dr. Phil Stringer, Pastor Ravenswood Baptist Church, Chicago, IL

Pastor David L. Brown, Ph.D., is a faithful pastor and dedicated student of history. With the Lord's help, he has built an outstanding New Testament church in Oak Creek, WI, a suburb of Milwaukee. His dedication to Truth and to the truthful history of the Bible is recognized by many around the world. His research library is fi lled with ancient manuscripts, books, and Bibles and through his superb and detailed inquiry, which is refl ected in The Indestructible Book, many questions are answered for pastors, missionaries, evangelists, teachers, and laymen. By his in-depth inquiry, he has traced and documented the reality of God's promise to preserve, guard, and protect His Words through the centuries. It is my opinion that you would be significantly rewarded by reading this book. "The Old Paths Publications, Inc." is blessed to have participated in publishing this excellent book. Dr. H. D. Williams, President, The Old Paths Publications
