Having enjoyed DeYoung’s writings in the past, I wanted to read his position on this contemporary topic. The author is senior pastor of University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Michigan and has written a number of books on contemporary issues. This book is divided into two parts: Understanding God’s Word and Answering Objections. The first […]

Value of Camp
After speaking at a men’s retreat at a camp in Alaska, I was given this book by the former camp director following our talk about the usefulness of the camp ministry in our day. Brock is the co-founder and executive director of Ironwood camp in southern California. He gives two chapters on the usefulness of […]
Not A Fan
This is a 2011 Zondervan publication from Idleman who is the teaching pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY. Idleman’s proposition is that there is a difference between being a fan of Jesus Christ and being a follower. The by-line reads, “becoming a completely committed follower of Jesus.” In some places he describes this […]
The Ultimate Proof of Creation
Dr. Jason Lisle is researcher on staff at Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis, who writes the forward to the book. It is printed by Master Books, Green Forest, AR, 2009 and is in its sixth printing in 2015. This is more of a book on logic, reasoning, and debating than on creation itself. Lisle goes […]

I’m surely not a Wesleyan or Methodist, but I have a profound respect for John and Charles Wesley. This book is a compilation of 365 writings taken mostly from John Wesley’s correspondence. He was a hard man, but challenging.
Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhoo...
“At the heart of mature masculinity is a sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect women in ways appropriate to a man’s differing relationships. At the heart of mature femininity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive, and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman’s differing […]
Man: The Dwelling Place of God
This has to be one of the most delightful Tozer books I have read. It has 39 short chapters on unrelated topics so one can read for a long or short time, stop, and come back to it without interruption. This makes a great format for those vacation or get-a-way times when you want to […]
The Wages of Spin
I have read and enjoyed another Carl Trueman book. As a professor at Westminster, Trueman is a Reformed theologian and historian. However, almost all the books I’ve read by him are directed more at cultural issues and only slightly affected by his theology. In this book are two sections examining two Reformed theologians, J. Gresham […]
The Hole In Our Holiness
I was attracted to this book because of its title, then I thought it might be a Reformed position only on holiness, but then I was pleasantly surprised by reading the entire (but fairly short at 150 pages) book. DeYoung does a good job of encouraging Christians to seek holiness in their lives, and at […]
