My Latest Suggested Reading List


Faithful readers of this column might recall my
column of last year where I listed several books that I
found to be helpful. See the list

here.

So, to build on last year`s list, here is my list for
2010. These are books that I have read over the course
of last year, or that I am currently reading, or that
are on my short list of books to soon read.

Please understand that the books listed herein may or
may not imply my personal endorsement. Some I will
wholeheartedly endorse. Others I will vehemently reject.
And others: I will not know until I`ve read them.

Some of these books I`ve read before and think they
are worth another read. Obviously, if I`m taking the
time to read any of them, I must feel that there is good
reason to do so, as I consider my time the most valuable
commodity that I have.

I remember one of my college professors saying,
"A man is the sum total of the people he associates with and the books
he reads. Choose both wisely."
That proverb has
stayed with me all these years. So, on that note, here
is my suggested reading list for 2010 (in no particular
order, except for the first two):

My youngest son, attorney Tim Baldwin, has written a
brand new book that is scheduled for release any day
now. It is an exhaustive masterpiece with over 500 pages
and 1,000 annotations. In my opinion, it is destined to
be a classic textbook on American history and law. I
urge every reader to obtain this soon-to-be-released
book. If you can read only one book about American
history this year, this is the one to read! You may

pre-order his book at Amazon.com
.

Here is another soon-to-be released book:

  • The Bastard Theory
    of History

Former Presidential candidate (and my friend), Howard
Phillips, told me about his new book. The book will
demonstrate how personal ambition can be intensified by
illegitimacy or alienation from parents. It will take an
in-depth look at notable figures such as

Alexander Hamilton
, Abraham Lincoln, Gerald Ford,
Newt Gingrich,

Bill Clinton
, and
Barack Obama.
I predict it will set off a firestorm
of controversy, but will also provide compelling
evidence for the importance of Biblical families to
Western Civilization. I recommend it sight unseen!

And now for books in print:

A rare, faith-filled, historic biography of America`s
first President, George Washington. Originally published
in 1842.

By Anna C. Reed

By Tom Baugh


  • Secession
    :
    How Vermont and All the Other States Can Save Themselves from the
    Empire,

By Thomas H. Naylor

By Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler

Every American should read this classic. I try to
stay reminded of General Butler`s wisdom by reading his
book every year or two.

I haven`t finished this one yet, but I suspect it is
going to be added to my all-time
"must-read"
list. Wow! What a book!

I do not recommend this book; I read it to get a
better glimpse into the mind and philosophy of a
professing Christian who can lend his support to such
unconstitutional, liberty-killing measures as the
Patriot Act, and thereby become an enemy to freedom.

Ashcroft is typical of many self-serving Christians
who conveniently side with Big Government elitists and
globalists and justify it under the rubric of
"national
security."

The

chapter
regarding my good friend, true American
patriot, man of God, and all-around very good guy, Dr.
Greg Dixon, is especially disheartening. Reading his
book confirmed what I already knew: Ashcroft, Bush, and
rest of these Big Government

neocons
are a despicable lot.

By Boston T. Party

A terrific manual on the Second Amendment, shooting,
guns, self-defense, etc. Every American who claims to
love liberty should read the chapter entitled
"How To Become A
Rifleman."
That chapter alone is worth the price of
the book.

By James Bradley

Dr. Malone was one of my mentors. I had the privilege
of sitting under his ministry from 1971 to 1973. He may
have been the greatest pulpiteer of the 20th century. He
grew up
"dirt-poor"
and became one of the most respected
preachers in America. He was also a scholar and
accomplished pilot. He passed away January 7, 2007, at
the age of 91. He is one of my spiritual heroes.

By Jerry Newcombe


  • Posterity
    :
    Letters of Great Americans to Their Children,

By Dorie McCullough Lawson

By John Conway


  • Obama
    :
    Why Black America Should Have Doubts,

By William Owens, Jr.

By Thomas P.M. Barnett

This is an insider`s look into how the US military is
being used to create
"globalization."
If you don`t believe elitists are preparing for global
government, read this book. It is not written by a
"fringe,
conspiracy-nut,"
but by a senior strategic
researcher and professor at the US Naval War College.
Read it and tremble. Then get mad and start RESISTING!


  • Patriots
    : A Novel of
    Survival in the Coming Collapse,

By James Wesley Rawles

By Mark R. Levin


Catastrophe
:
How Obama, Congress, And The Special Interests Are Transforming . . . A
Slump Into A Crash, Freedom Into Socialism, and Disaster
Into A Catastrophe . . . And How to Fight Back

By Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

By John W. Robbins

By Samuel Pufendorf (January 8, 1632 – October 13,
1694)

By Hugo Grotius (April 10, 1583 – August 28, 1645)

Emer de Vattel (April 25, 1714 – December 28, 1767)

Algernon Sidney (January 14 or 15, 1623 – December 7,
1683)

By John Locke (August 29, 1632 – October 28, 1704)

This is another one that I try to read every year or
two.

Among others, these 5 classics are books that our
Founding Fathers read. They provide scriptural,
historical, philosophical, moral, and political
principles necessary to the understanding of American
law, jurisprudence, and constitutional government.
Caution: reading these books may turn one into a patriot
in the similitude of Washington, Henry, and Jefferson.

The books can be obtained very reasonably, but, if
you have to, sell your clothes to get them. But, be
advised, you will not be able to read these books
quickly; and you must be prepared to rethink virtually
everything you`ve been taught in school, read in
newspapers, or watch on television.


  • They Preached
    Liberty
    :
    An anthology of timely quotations from New England
    ministers of the American Revolution on the subject of
    liberty: its source, nature, obligations, types, and
    blessings.

Edited by Franklin P. Cole

I wish every preacher in America would read this
book, and also this one:

Edited by Ellis Sandoz

By Charles H. Coppes


  • America for Sale
    :
    Fighting the New
    World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and
    Preserving USA Sovereignty,

By Jerome R. Corsi


  • The Rod: Will God
    Spare It?

    An Exhaustive Study of Temporary Punishment for
    Unfaithful Christians at the Judgment Seat and During
    the Millennial Kingdom,

By J.D. Faust

I am still working through this one. It is an
unconventional approach to the subject of the Judgment
Seat of Christ–that is for sure. However, the author is
very thorough and makes many convincing arguments.
Again, I am still working my way through his research.

I love anything written by Nee. This will be an
umpteenth reading of this one.

Edited by Herbert F. Brokering

By Porter B. Williamson

This is another book I try to read every year or so.

"A Life of
Vince Lombardi"

I`m partial to all things GREEN BAY PACKERS. I
remember watching Vince Lombardi training films in high
school back in the late 60s; so this one is sort of
sentimental—as well as highly motivational.

"The revealing
story of how the Cross of Christ was used as a symbol of
the Nazi agenda."

By

Erwin W. Lutzer

As I have said many times, if you don`t read any
other book besides the Bible this year, read Hitler`s Cross—and
Tim`s book, of course.

There you go, Pilgrims. Let`s read some good books
this year.

And let`s use what we learn so that we might work
together to help save liberty from the elitists and
globalists during 2010.
