Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.
All in book reviews
When I found out that Thomas Schreiner had written a book on spiritual gifts, I knew I wanted to check it out.
Crossway and Joel Beeke have teamed up to release what I think is a valuable resource for pastors and teachers. No matter what tribe or camp you fall into, I think you will benefit and find Reformed Preaching to be a book worthy of your shelf space!
John MacArthur holds nothing back in his latest book, Christ’s Call to Reform the Church. MacArthur takes Christ’s letters to the seven churches found at the beginning of Revelation and examines them one by one relating them to Christians and churches today.
It’s time that someone speak a little more at length to the subject of social justice and that is why I am grateful for a new book by Eric Mason called Woke Church.
In the Christian world, there sadly aren’t as many women’s resources and teachers as I’d like to see. Women naturally gravitate toward other women and having lived with a woman for six years, I realize God made y’all different from us men and sometimes a woman just gets it.
Richard Sibbes was a Puritan pastor that seemed to toe the line well during a time that was full of controversy. Both sides wanted to claim him and he was often said to hold positions that weren't true of him.
I can remember being in my parents basement and waking up in the floor in the middle of the night with Desiring God still open because I had fallen asleep reading so late. The truth that my main purpose was to glorify God and enjoy Him forever captivated me.
When We Say Father is said to be his final manuscript that his son, Steve, edited and published as a final joint work. The book focuses on the Lord's Prayer and in it Adrian Rogers breaks down piece by piece Jesus' model prayer for his disciples.
With so many books on prayer available, it's hard to know where to start or which one to read. If you've read one, have you read them all? Why should I read another book on prayer? Those thoughts are the reason that Prayer by John Onwuchekwa sets itself apart.
People can have a tendency to see the Bible as a disjointed collection of books and stories. Even more so, people tend to separate the Old and New Testaments going so far as to say there is almost a different God between the two or that God really changed once Jesus showed up. That's why I think Nancy Guthrie's new book, Even Better Than Eden is a valuable resource that most Christians need to take the time to read.
Just recently, I finished Rosaria Butterfield's new book called, "The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in a Post-Christian World." Rosaria paints a picture through detailed stories, biblical support, and simple instruction that what she calls "radically ordinary hospitality" is what is needed to make a major impact for the gospel.
