Deep Simplicity by Emily Darnell: A Book Review

Deep Simplicity by Emily Darnell: A Book Review

Honestly, I hadn’t heard of Emily Darnell until I was approached about reviewing this book. However, I think she’s written a book that would benefit all of us in this current cultural climate. Our news feeds are packed with headlines that seem to only be creating division in our world. Our social feeds are doing much of the same. If you’re like me, you can leave these spheres feeling anxious and stressed. There is one solution that will truly give rest to the heart when you feel this way—abiding in Christ.

In the current season of COVID-19, many people are asking good questions regarding God and faith. Some are experiencing doubts of whether they truly know God and are known by him. Other may be on the opposite end and should be asking these questions, but they aren’t…

The Valley of Vision Bound in Goatskin

The Valley of Vision Bound in Goatskin

book reviews, books, prayer, Valley of Vision

The Valley of Vision almost needs no introduction. It’s a collection of Puritan prayers that is a long-time favorite for many including myself. Many people have used this collection devotionally and to aid in their own prayer life. These prayers are theologically rich, deep, beautiful, and inspiring. Up until very recently, you could get a copy of the The Valley of Vision in paperback or bonded leather. These prayers have become such a treasure to so many that it was only fitting for them to be bound in something that could withstand the frequent use the volume is sure to receive. When Banner of Truth announced The Valley of Vision was releasing in both genuine leather and goatskin, those of us who love these prayers couldn’t contain our excitement. I’m excited to have received a copy of the goatskin edition of The Valley of Vision from Westminster Books in exchange for a fair and honest review. You can’t beat the service Westminster Books will provide you and I wholeheartedly recommend you purchase this title from them…

Hoping for Happiness by Barnabas Piper

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I don’t think Barnabas Piper intended for his new book, Hoping for Happiness, to be as timely as it is. However, in God’s sovereignty, this is a book that 2020 really needed. In fact, I hope you’ll pick up a copy because you don’t just need this book for 2020—this is a constant reminder you need in your life.

A Review of Volumes IV and X of Crossway's ESV Expository Commentary Series

book reviews, ESV, preaching

I’ve been really excited about Crossway’s new ESV Expository Commentary series. These are new commentaries with the goal of providing “a clear, crisp, and Christ-centered explanation of the biblical text.” At this point in time, there are seven commentaries in the set and they haven’t been going in order. I’m reviewing Volume IV: Ezra - Job and Volume X: Romans - Galatians…

book reviews, 9marks

I’ve quickly become a big fan of the 9Marks Church Questions series. This series is growing with handy little books that are full of truth focusing on a single question many church members may have. They are perfect to hand out to people and require little time commitment to read. Don’t let that fool you though. They are packed with biblical truth that will really help those to whom they are addressed.

book reviews

I’m a first generation pastor. By that, I mean that neither my dad nor my grandfathers were pastors. Pastoring is new territory for me and I definitely still have a lot to learn. One thing I do know though is that my kids will experience something completely different as children of a pastor than I did growing up. I want navigate that as best I can, which is why I’m grateful for Barnabas Piper’s book, The Pastor’s Kid.

book reviews

In a time where people seem to be disagreeing on everything and taking it personally, it’s important for the church to be unified. We certainly have our disagreements, but how should we handle them? What disagreements are worth separating over? Where should we agree to disagree and continue on together? Gavin Ortlund helps us consider these questions in his new book titled Finding the Right Hills to Die On.
