Teach Me to Feel by Courtney Reissig

The Psalms are such an incredible book of the Bible. People use Psalms for all kinds of things. The wide range of emotions help us sing and pray no matter what season of life we may find ourselves in. They comfort us and let us know we aren’t alone. Sometimes they ground us in the truth amidst our chaotic feelings. Courtney Reissig says, “We need to learn how to feel Christianly” and in her new book, Teach Me to Feel: Worshiping Through the Psalms in Every Season of Life, she is going to show you how the Psalms help you do just that.

Publishers, Books, and Resources You Should Pay Attention To: Spring 2021 Addition

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m receiving so many books that I can’t possibly read them all. In this post, I want to highlight some publishers and books that you should be paying attention to and that I think will make an impact in your life in one way or another. I received complimentary copies of these books from the publishers, but they are books I was specifically interested in and think you should be paying attention to as well.

Finding the Right Hills to Die On by Gavin Ortlund: A Book Review

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.

The Shock of the God-Man

I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. I heard about God and Jesus from the time I was born. I was made to go to church every time the doors were open. As I learned English, I also learned what we might call Christian language. Stories of God and Christian terms were never foreign to me . I had a lot of familiarity when it came to the things of God. I say all that to say that the concept of God becoming a man probably didn’t shock me like it would someone who was saved at an older age. I was blessed to grow up knowing about God.

Leveling the Church by Micah Fries and Jeremy Maxfield - A Book Review

Could it be possible that you've been doing ministry all wrong? Could it be possible that you've actually been robbing people of something they need and something that would bring them profound joy? These are big questions to ask of those who have been doing ministry for quite some time. In the book Leveling the Church, Micah Fries and Jeremy Maxfield assert just that.

The Gospel According to Satan by Jared C. Wilson: a book review

I’m unsure where to start in writing this review. Do I start with the title, the author, or maybe a humorous story about how this book was the number one seller in Demonology and Satanism on Amazon? To be honest, when I first saw the title and subtitle of this book, I thought it was one I really didn’t need to read and should pass by. However, The Gospel According to Satan: Eight Lies About God That Sound Like the Truth by Jared C. Wilson is a book you need to read whether these eight lies sound familiar or not.

The Top Books I Read in 2019

I made my way through several books in 2019 and enjoyed much of what I read. At the beginning of the new year, I try and compile a list of what I thought were the best I read for the year. These aren’t books that were necessarily brand new, in fact, some were pretty old. This isn’t a “Top New Christian Books Released in 2019” kinda post. These were just books that edified me that I’m sharing with you. Here they are in no certain order…

Jesus and the Lions' Den by Alison Mitchell and Catalina Echeverri: a Book Review

Many people haven’t been taught that the stories of the Old Testament are shadows pointing to Jesus. Many, from a young age, have been taught that when they read about David and Goliath, that they are the hero of the story. That thinking comes with us as we grow older and before we know it, we have adults that are making the Bible all about them…
