I could not resist reading The Aedyn Chronicles: Chosen Ones by Alistair McGrath. Dr. McGrath combines his skills as a theologian with a vivid imagination to produce a tale of adventure and good versus evil. Peter and Julia are the main characters who enter an enchanted garden, similar to the world of Narnia that wasContinue reading “THE AEDYN CHRONICLES: Chosen Ones – Alistair McGrath (2010)”

CONNECTED CHRISTIANITY: Engaging Culture Without Compromise – Art G. Arzurdia

Art Arzurdia writes with the patience of a tender-hearted pastor and the depth and breadth of a well-grounded Reformed theologian. He addresses the mission of every Christian, namely to stand as a bright light and offer the purifying saltiness of aContinue reading “CONNECTED CHRISTIANITY: Engaging Culture Without Compromise – Art G.

THE GOD WHO IS THERE: Finding Your Place in God’s Story – D.A. Carson (2010)
This year I have been teaching my kids the game of baseball. When one stops to consider, there are a lot of rules in this game: three outs, nine innings, four balls, fly outs, tag outs, force outs, relief pitchers, pitch hitters, singles, doubles, triples, home runs, infield fly rule, ad infinitum. For years IContinue reading “THE GOD WHO IS THERE: Finding Your Place in God’s Story – D.A. Carson (2010)”
Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault On Mind, Morals, and Meaning – Nancy Pearcey (2010)
Nancy Pearcey has done it again. Her book Total Truth captured the attention of thousands and helped equip a new generation of thinking Christians. While some consider the term “thinking Christian” somewhat of an oxymoron (think, “military intelligence,” or “jumbo shrimp”), nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, clear thinking and warm-hearted devotion areContinue reading “Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault On Mind, Morals, and Meaning – Nancy Pearcey (2010)”
ON GLOBAL WIZARDRY – Peter Jones, Ed. (2010)
Peter Jones understands postmodern culture and has a particular interest in warning the church about the pernicious influence of neo-paganism. His newest book, On Global Wizardry, continues to alert Christ-followers and equips them to respond in a biblically appropriate way. Jones edits this work and relies on a host of experts to assist him inContinue reading “ON GLOBAL WIZARDRY – Peter Jones, Ed. (2010)”
GOSPEL TRUTH, PAGAN LIES – Peter Jones (1999)
A few days ago as my family entered a bookstore, my eight year old son shocked and thrilled me when he asked, “Hey Dad, where can I find the Peter Jones books?” My son is asking the question that scores of Christians should be asking. Enter Gospel Truth, Pagan Lies by Peter Jones. It isContinue reading “GOSPEL TRUTH, PAGAN LIES – Peter Jones (1999)”
WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW?
I am thankful for the Basics of the Reformed Faith Series, a collection of booklets released by Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing. These short treatments (with the exception of the booklet on infant baptism) are extremely helpful and should be a part of every Christian library. Philip Graham Ryken tackles a crucial topic in, What isContinue reading “WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW?”
THE GOSPEL FOR MUSLIMS – Thabiti Anyabwile (2010)
The Gospel for Muslims is another winner by Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile. This short but powerful work shatters the assumption that Muslims are impossible to reach for Christ. A former Muslim himself, Anyabwile demonstrates that loving and faithful proclamation have and will continue to reap benefits among our Muslim friends. For the gospel “is the powerContinue reading “THE GOSPEL FOR MUSLIMS – Thabiti Anyabwile (2010)”
A NEW KIND OF CHRISTIANITY – Brian McLaren (2010)
Brian McLaren comes out fighting in his newest book, A New Kind of Christianity. Indeed, his savvy style and fancy footwork would make Rocky Balboa proud! I suspect that McLaren, however, would not be comfortable with the fighting metaphor. “Dialogue,” “conversation,” and “exchange” would be more appropriate for this emergent leader. So step out ofContinue reading “A NEW KIND OF CHRISTIANITY – Brian McLaren (2010)”
JONATHAN EDWARDS, EVANGELIST – John Gerstner (1960)
Jonathan Edwards, Evangelist unlike many of the other books that entertain the subject of evangelism, is not a “how-to” book. It describes Edward’s mindset toward evangelism, his theological presuppositions, and inner battles. Dr. John Gerstner painstakingly poured over dozens of Edward’s sermons and writings. The result has yielded an extremely readable rendition of Jonathan EdwardsContinue reading “JONATHAN EDWARDS, EVANGELIST – John Gerstner (1960)”
