Book Review: "Knowing God," J.I. Packer
So many good books are released with such regularity these days that it’s easy for “classic” books to fall away into the background, eclipsed by the FOMO rush to stay up with the latest buzz in Christian publishing. C.S. Lewis said, "It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.”…

Book Review: "Tune In," Mark Lewisohn
It might seem strange that a pastor would write a book review on the Beatles, but all of history is God’s history, all of life is theological, and to some degree, the Beatles’ creativity reflected the glory of their Creator, even though they apparently didn’t know it, and sadly didn’t give proper thanks for the gifts God gave them…

Book Review: "The Ones Who Drive You Crazy," Jamie Dunlop
This would have been a great book for all Christians to read in the summer of 2020, when the pandemic was raging, but it was not released until 2023, after the benefits of hindsight could take effect…

Book Review: "Biblical Critical Theory," Christopher Watkin
Given all of the effusive advance praise for this book, one would think it is the best treatment of Christian cultural engagement since Augustine's City of God. The book doesn't quite meet that standard, but it is definitely worth the extended time necessary to read it if you are interested in how Christianity provides an alternative and superior way of looking at the world as compared to competing secular approaches to reality…

Book Review: "Crazy Busy," Kevin DeYoung
As we start a new year, some of us are thinking about resolutions to make for 2025 — more tasks and goals to add to our already busy schedules…

Book Review: "A Postmillennial Primer," Andrew Sandlin
Let's just admit it – eschatology is confusing. So many different views, and so many brilliant thinkers disagreeing on all of them...

Commentaries on Ephesians
Every responsible preaching pastor will use commentaries on the Biblical text to help and guide him in the preparation of sermons...

Book Review: "Life in the Negative World," Aaron Renn
For most of American history, the culture has been very positive toward Christianity. That changed in 1994...

Book Review: "Shepherds for Sale," Megan Basham
Some people just like to fight. They're looking for a heretic behind every door, and suspicious of everyone who doesn't think like them...

Book Review: "World Within a Song," Jeff Tweedy
As a music lover, I have always been fascinated by what musicians say about other people's songs…

Book Review: "The Person of Christ," Stephen Wellum
Much of the content of this book will be novel and perhaps confusing to many, maybe most, Christians, which is a tragic thing if author Stephen Wellum is correct in stating that "there is nothing greater than to think rightly about our Lord Jesus Christ."

Book Review: "Hannah Coulter," Wendell Berry
I heard someone say once that if you want to know how to be a pastor, you need to read Hannah Coulter. It's an odd thing to say because the book really has nothing to do with pastoring, but it does have a lot to do with people…

Book Review: "Critical Dilemma," Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer
The most pernicious false teaching infecting our society and the church today is not liberalism, atheism or communism, but a very broad and complex ideology called contemporary critical theory…

Book Review: "Love Thy Body," Nancy Pearcey
This is an excellent companion volume to Carl Trueman‘s “Strange New World” for understanding our current cultural moment…

Book Review: "Personal Declension," Octavius Winslow
Profound spiritual insight, theological and yet utterly practical, and passionately Christ-centered…
