In Islam: A Biblical Perspective, Pastor W. M. Rench examines the teachings of Islam and compares them directly with Scripture.

Pastor Rench upholds religious liberty while warning of the incompatibility between Sharia law and biblical truth. His closing appeal is distinctly Christian: to respond not with hatred or fear, but with steadfast faith and a clear witness for Jesus Christ.

In House Church: Skip the Sermon and Worship at Home?, Pastor W. M. Rench addresses the growing trend of replacing the local church with informal gatherings. Using both Scripture and reason, he explains why such movements—though well-intentioned—depart from God’s design. The booklet defends the biblical offices of pastor and deacon, the importance of preaching, and the structure of the local New Testament church. Rench’s message is clear: God established the church, not as a living room fellowship, but as the pillar and ground of the truth where believers gather, grow, and go with the gospel.

In Enduring Sound Doctrine, Pastor W. M. Rench warns against the growing tendency to replace solid Bible teaching with entertainment and self-help. He shows how Christians today must “endure” sound doctrine, not merely enjoy it, and he defends the necessity of the local church as the pillar and ground of the truth. Through Scripture and experience, he challenges believers to remain anchored to God’s Word and faithful to their pastors, even when truth is unpopular. This timeless message urges a return to strong preaching, doctrinal conviction, and biblical authority in the church.

Classic Christianity contrasts the unchanging truths of God’s Word with the unstable philosophies of modern religion. Pastor W. M. Rench exposes the shallowness of “contemporary Christianity,” which molds itself to culture instead of Christ, and calls believers back to holiness, doctrine, and devotion. With biblical depth and pastoral conviction, he reminds readers that true Christianity is not driven by relevance or image but by the timeless truth of Jesus Christ, who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
