High Impact Teams – Lance Witt
Lance Witt, High Impact Teams: Where Healthy Meets High Performance (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2018), 298 pp. High Impact Teams by Lance Witt took me by complete surprise.

I AM A CHURCH MEMBER – Thom S. Rainer (2013)

THE CHURCH: THE GOSPEL MADE VISIBLE – Mark Dever (2012)
Over the years, I’ve grown weary reading books that relate to ecclesiology. Recent works that focus on the church are either driven by pragmatic presuppositions, man-centered principles, or church growth techniques that compromise the essence of the gospel, not to mention the mission of the church. Mark Dever’s newest book, The Church: The Gospel MadeContinue reading “THE CHURCH: THE GOSPEL MADE VISIBLE – Mark Dever (2012)”
