Letters to a Young Calvinist by James K.A. Smith reminds me of the last time I went to see the San Francisco Giants play baseball. I remember purchasing the tickets with my Dad, approaching the park, and watching the Giants play the Dodgers in what was then, Candlestick Park. This is a great memory fromContinue reading “LETTERS TO A YOUNG CALVINIST – James K.A. Smith (2010)”

A BLACK-AND-WHITE PROPOSAL: FAREWELL TO FUZZY THINKING
Donald Miller raises the banner for “fuzzy thinking” in a recent blog post entitled, “The Problem with Black-and-White Thinking” (re-posted on relevantmagazine.com). His main thought: “Black-and-white, either-or thinking polarizes people and stunts progressive thought.” Additionally, he holds that this kind of thinking stunts our “ability to find truth.” DEFENDING THE GOOD IN MILLER’S PROPOSAL MillerContinue reading “A BLACK-AND-WHITE PROPOSAL: FAREWELL TO FUZZY THINKING”
CULTURE SHIFT: Engaging Current Issues With Timeless Truths – Al Mohler (2008)
“I am glad Al Mohler is on our team.” I kept uttering these words to myself as read through Al Mohler’s book, Culture Shift. Dr. Mohler consistently serves up an unrelenting diet of timeless truths that support the Christian faith in winsome and intellectually appealing ways. Perhaps John Piper has said it best: “Albert MohlerContinue reading “CULTURE SHIFT: Engaging Current Issues With Timeless Truths – Al Mohler (2008)”

So anyone that has an old crusty cassette and nothing to play it on should be very excited. Also,Continue reading “77’s – Ping Pong Over the Abyss (1983)”
GUARDING THE DEPOSIT: A WORLDVIEW WARNING
Charles Hodge rightly said, “History in all its details, even the most minute, is but the evolution of the eternal purposes of God.” Hodge understood the biblical reality that God “works all things according to the counsel of his will” (Eph. 1:11). Yet, we live in an eroding culture; one that is hostile to thisContinue reading “GUARDING THE DEPOSIT: A WORLDVIEW WARNING”
CONNECTED CHRISTIANITY: Engaging Culture Without Compromise – Art G. Arzurdia
Connected Christianity is a refreshing look at the responsibility before Christ-followers in godless culture. Art Arzurdia writes with the patience of a tender-hearted pastor and the depth and breadth of a well-grounded Reformed theologian.

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)”
