I know what you’re thinking, a versus title usually carries with it some possible negativity. But hear me out first. I like both of these children’s Bibles. Next to the actual Bible itself, which I think children should begin reading as early as possible, these two children’s Bibles are very good. But I happen to […]

I really enjoyed reading Culture Shift. I don’t know if it’s the political junkie part of me that led to my enjoyment, but regardless of political acumen, Al Mohler has important things to say that will impact every person who lives in America today. There are a few chapters that really are worth […]

I love this book. I wish it had been written about 15 years ago when I first started leading wrship through song. It would have given much, much wisdom in doing so. This book is not just for worship leaders, but for Christian leaders in general (minus the practical sections on music). Bob Kauflin does […]

It’s true! It’s true! In order to increase blog traffic, we’ve decided to change the name of this blog!

We had our first discussion on Keller’s R4G a couple of nights ago. You have to give some notice to a book, titled in full “The Reason for God - Belief in an Age of Skepticism”, that begins with a quote … from Darth Vader! Yep, quoth Vader “I find your lack of fatih - […]

Jay Younts has a great guide on Family Worship. Check it out. I also did a book review on his on his book Every Day Talk. Here it is:
As of now, there are three books on parenting that I would strongly recommend. The first is Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp. […]

If you are thinking of making an important decision in your life, I would recommend you read Bruce Waltke’s book, Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion? It’s a very quick read which is nice if you need to make a quick decision (tongue –in-cheek). But don’t let it’s short length fool […]

I just watched the movie Amazing Grace last night, the story of William Wilberforce. In it, WW meets his mentor John Newton, an old ragged monk-like man, who is obviously joyous and cantankerous. When he urges WW to continue his calling as an MP, he does so out of the incredible guilt he […]

Mark Tubbs of Discerning Reader has a review of JP’s latest book, The Future of Justification: A Response to N. T. Wright. Just a couple of quotes from the review which definitely makes you want to read the book (though I think it will be a challenging book):
