Book Review
Cancer’s Biographer
I have been reading Siddhartha Mukherjee’s book, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography on Cancer, and it has been a fascinating read. I am obviously not in the health profession and I am also not well-versed with scientific terminology, but even as a science lay person, I am able to appreciate Dr. Mukherjee’s well-written [...]
That’s Called Productivity in Your 40s
John Eliot was a pastor in New England in the early 1600s. In John Piper’s biographical sketch of John Eliot, he wrote: And so when he was slightly over 40 years old, Eliot set himself to study Algonquin. He deciphered the vocabulary and grammar and syntax and eventually translated the entire Bible as well as [...]
The Reformation – A Review
I have been reading Diarmaid MacCullough’s book The Reformation and I must say that though I have tried to stop reading it from the beginning, I can’t seem to let it go. Not because the writing style is so engaging, because it isn’t. Not because his positions align with mine, because they don’t. And not [...]
The Child’s Story Bible vs. the Jesus Storybook Bible
I know what you’re thinking, a versus title usually carries with it some possible negativity. But hear me out first. I like both of these children’s Bibles. Next to the actual Bible itself, which I think children should begin reading as early as possible, these two children’s Bibles are very good. But I happen to [...]
Culture Shift – Book Review
I really enjoyed reading Culture Shift. I don’t know if it’s the political junkie part of me that led to my enjoyment, but regardless of political acumen, Al Mohler has important things to say that will impact every person who lives in America today. There are a few chapters that really are worth the price [...]
Worship Matters – Book Review
I love this book. I wish it had been written about 15 years ago when I first started leading worship through song. It would have given much, much wisdom in doing so. This book is not just for worship leaders, but for Christian leaders in general (minus the practical sections on music). Bob Kauflin does [...]
Family Worship
Jay Younts has a great guide on Family Worship. Check it out. I also did a book review on his on his book Every Day Talk. Here it is: As of now, there are three books on parenting that I would strongly recommend. The first is Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp. The second [...]
Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion?
If you are thinking of making an important decision in your life, I would recommend you read Bruce Waltke’s book, Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion? It’s a very quick read which is nice if you need to make a quick decision (tongue –in-cheek). But don’t let it’s short length fool you. The [...]
John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace by Jonathan Aitken
I just watched the movie Amazing Grace last night, the story of William Wilberforce. In it, WW meets his mentor John Newton, an old ragged monk-like man, who is obviously joyous and cantankerous. When he urges WW to continue his calling as an MP, he does so out of the incredible guilt he feels over [...]
Piper Responds to NT Wright
Mark Tubbs of Discerning Reader has a review of JP’s latest book, The Future of Justification: A Response to N. T. Wright. Just a couple of quotes from the review which definitely makes you want to read the book (though I think it will be a challenging book): (HT: Tim Challies) A certain friend of [...]
