Disciplines of a Godly Man
I have always enjoyed R. Kent Hughes and his writings. This is a 2001 Crossway book thta had escaped my notice. As is typical of Hughes, he takes the reader through an examination of thoughts and motives to being godly. The chapters are simple, relationships, soul, character, ministry, and discipline. The book is full of […]
Parenting God’s Way
I read this new but short book (2017, just 41 pages) while researching material on grandparenting. I have watched Alistair Begg’s career from afar, being distantly knowledgable of Charlotte Baptist Chapel in Edinburgh where Begg once served as associate pastor. This book was probably a printed sermon Begg preached from Ephesians on the family. It […]
Biblical Grandparenting
Josh Mulvihill wrote his PhD on this subject for Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and then published this book in 2018 (Bethany House). It is a much needed book on an important topic. He writes in the first chapter, “There are millions of Christian Grandparents in America today with few resources to equip them to accomplish […]
Heart, Soul, Might
In 2012 the Central Seminary faculty with Kevin Bauder wrote and published this book. The subtitle is “Meditations on knowing and loving God.” I found it to be inspiring and informative. It is not specifically a theology book on God, nor an answer to critics. Rather, it is a series of short essays on topics […]
Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong
This 2009 book is done by MacArthur and other staff at Grace Community Church. I found it to be very helpful in a number of different areas that affect the local church. It is divided into four sections: Entertainment and Leisure; Morality and Ethics; Politics and Activism; and Tragedy and Suffering. I thought it was […]
Free Grace Theology: 5 ways it diminish...
Wayne Grudem wrote this valuable book in 2016. He points out that the Free Grace movement diminishes the gospel in a number of ways. Free Grace is a movement that insists that faith must stand alone i.e., it is not accompanied by repentance, acceptance (fiducia), good works, or even assurance. To add any of these […]
The Forgotten Fear
This is a recent and timely book on the fear of God, published by Reformation Heritage Books in 2015. The subtitle is: “Where have all the God-fearers gone?” Martin is a Reformed writer who has also become a popular source for this topic. This book is laid out in a practical way, defining the fear […]
The New Nature
Showers first wrote this book in 1986. It is a good review of what the Bible means by “old man,” “new man,” “old nature,” and “new nature.” Showers prefers to use the term “disposition” rather than nature because the nature is a “disposition” toward God. His view is, and I agree, that the terms old […]
Life in the Spirit
Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) was a Welsch physician-turned-preacher who served at Westminster Chapel, briefly under G. Campbell Morgan, becoming the senior pastor in 1943 during the war years when Morgan retired. Jones preached against liberal Christianity and the ecumenical movement. Though leaning toward pietistic positions of the Spirit, Jones was a powerful preacher in London in […]
