An Interview with author of “When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography”
I can’t emphasize this enough; a husband’s use of pornography is not about the wife
This book isn’t about the husband as much as it’s about the wife’s heart. I address six themes in the book: hope, surrender, trust, identity, brokenness, and forgiveness. I’ve reiterated this, because I don’t want anyone to get the idea that this is a manual for fixing your husband. It most definitely is not. But………
The most famous woman you’ve never met
Now there's a new musical called Scandalous, about a colorful, some would say corrupt, evangelist named Aimee Semple McPherson
The book and lyrics for Scandalous were written by Kathie Lee Gifford, who is controversial in her own right, not because she is guilty of any of the sins associated with Aimee, but because she is a Christian who tries to live a life pleasing to the One she follows.
Our Shining City on a Hill?
A review of In Search of the City on a Hill, Richard M. Gamble, (Continuum, 2012)
Do you believe that America is the “city on a hill” that Christ was referring to in his Sermon on the Mount? Are there more than one of these cities? Was Jesus talking about a civil nation at all, or was this a metaphor of the church?
The Book of Common Prayer at three hundred and fifty.
Thomas Cranmer’s phrases echo through English literature and popular culture.
Only when Henry was succeeded by Edward VI, in 1547, could the reform that Cranmer wanted truly proceed. Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer was revised in 1552, three years after its publication, in order to intensify the Protestantism of its theology. Ecclesiastical committees had worked on the revision, and this version became the established collective liturgy of the Church of England for the next four hundred and sixty years
“Becoming Calvin” – a new play by Ann Timmons
New play tells Calvin’s story
Young people today too are searching for some sense of purpose to which they can apply their gifts. They too can be tempted to avoid great conflicts that threaten their personal peace. But often they will find God’s will, and their own purpose, only as they engage the conflicts. They must be prepared to pay a price, as Calvin did, in leaving the places that are comfortable to them and sometimes being parted from dear friends who go in different directions.
A Landmark Book: The First Puritan Systematic Theology
“Without a doubt, this will be an indispensable guidebook to Puritan thought and practice for years to come.” -- Sinclair Ferguson
This massive volume by Joel Beeke and Mark Jones provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to Puritan thought. It is a notable work of historical-theological synthesis and a book to which I will be returning again and again, both for scholarly reference and personal devotion. Simply an amazing achievement.” -- Carl Trueman
Rachel Held Evans’ ‘A Year of Biblical Womanhood’: A Review
Evans works to prove that the Bible is not without error and therefore cannot be applied literally
This book is not ultimately about manhood and womanhood, headship and submission, or the complementarian and egalitarian debate. At its root this book questions the validity of the Bible. And denying the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture is a denial that will ultimately erode the gospel of our Savior.
Embracing Obscurity: Becoming Nothing in Light of God’s Everything by Anonymous
Anonymous is aiming at the pride and self-reliance which lurks just under the surface of our outwardly Christian lives.
He goes on to talk about embracing the “mystery.” Our lives and choices should seem crazy to unbelievers. “Is my life mysterious?” the author asks. “Or do I live, love and lust like the rest of the world?” He brings up the example of NFL running back Glen Coffee who walked away from football after one season, because he wanted to follow God’s call on his life. Is that mysterious or what?
First systematic political theology from an Orthodox Christian perspective
The Mystical as Political: Democracy and Non-Radical Orthodoxy by Aristotle Papanikolaou
The first comprehensive treatment from an Orthodox theological perspective of the issue of the compatibility between Orthodoxy and liberal democracy, Papanikolaou’s is an affirmation that Orthodox support for liberal forms of democracy is justified within the framework of Orthodox understandings of God and the human person
Mumford & Sons and the Death of Church Music
If I want to sing a bunch of stale, bland pop songs, I’ll have a campfire, not go to church.
What Mumford has discovered, along with his masters at Universal, is that this goopy, self-serious emotionalism sells like crazy. And since he apparently has no interest in new musical ideas, you end up with a relentlessly monotonous body of work that amounts to more of a brand than an oeuvre.
