Brent's Blog and Newsletter Files

The Roaring Lion newsletter began publication in early 1992. Since 2004 it is only available in electronic form and operates as more of a blog than newsletter. Through it we provide informative articles, publication excerpts, news commentary, and investigative materials. Articles are directed primarily to Christians. A specific passion of author Brent MacDonald, echoed throughout, is the need of reformation in the church today. We welcome letters and comments via email.

 We welcome comments and discussion on all blog/newsletter article. Contact informaton is here.
