Ezra & Nehemiah: An Excerpt from Dale Ralph Davis’s New Commentary
"A (Brief) Theology of the Sabbath," by Dale Ralph Davis
Yahweh’s pattern is: work six days and stop. It is a way of saying that work is not god. These principles remain for the people of God, even though our culture and government is non- covenantal and pays no attention to them. From ‘Is Reformation Really Possible? Or: The Ongoing Perils of the Church... Continue Reading
Book Review: ‘The Child in God’s Church’
A Comprehensive Vision for Children’s Ministry.
Beilharz’s case for intergenerational ministry, which offers concrete strategies for meaningful integration of children into the broader faith community—an area where many of our churches have room to grow. I’ve had the privilege of visiting many churches and talking to them about their youth and children’s ministry. In some places, there are full-time staff members... Continue Reading

How to Apologize
In Ken Sande’s excellent book, 'The Peacemaker', he explains that a true confession includes seven components.
Repentance is freedom! It is not your responsibility to coerce the other individual to forgive you. They may never forgive you. But when you have followed the seven A’s of confession, you have done your part in navigating true repentance. And in doing that, you have followed the way of God. We live in... Continue Reading
John Eliot: America’s Tyndale
He serves as a preeminent example of the power of the gospel in the lives of ordinary and seemingly insignificant people.
John Eliot was a colonial pastor who possessed an ardent call to go to his neighbors and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was no grand figure, just a debtor to grace, resolved to see Christ exalted. Simple in his acceptance of Scripture as the Word of God, simple in his trust that God... Continue Reading
Dreher, God and Wonder
On the latest volume by Rod Dreher.
The point of a book like this, as I say, is to get both Christians and non-Christians to think again about the sort of world that we live in. And that is so important, because “we are all on a path either toward or away from the God who revealed himself in the Bible.” (p.... Continue Reading
‘Biblical and Religious Psychology’ by Herman Bavinck
I am confident this volume will edify any who read it.
Overall, this work, now accessible in English, will be a great service to both the psychology community and the Reformed theology community. Bavinck’s presentation of a holistic biblical human anthropology adds depth to the discussion of how to integrate ideas of the Christian faith into psychology, particularly in the areas of applied theology, as well...

A Review of “Happy Lies” by Melissa Dougherty
It ought to be required reading for all Christ-followers.
This book is designed to do more than scare and alarm us. Dougherty thoughtfully and fully explains a biblically grounded view of self, God, and the world as she unfolds the New Thought menace. And it’s a thought system that impacts more than just random individuals. Entire denominations and subcultures have fallen prey to it. ... Continue Reading
When Selfishness Becomes Celebrated
How modern culture repackages marital abandonment as radical self-love, with little counter-narrative from religious voices.
Even in the previous pro-divorce culture, women still felt compelled to give a reason why they were dumping their husbands, something that he had done wrong. This didn’t even have to be especially bad, like an affair. But there had to be some kind of negative behavior or trait of the husband to make a... Continue Reading
Happy Lies – A Review
Happy Lies is brilliant, playful, and delightful.
This book will have a positive impact for the Church of Jesus Christ. It will educate those who can now be on the look-out for this heresy, and it will help people involved in it (Christian or not) to escape. Like Melissa has said, you’ve probably never heard of it before, but you’ll know it... Continue Reading
