SS&S – 21st Century Seniors
Baby Boomers (those born 1946-1964) became “seniors” in the year 2011. According to the Pew Research Center, Baby Boomers at this time in their lives are still 29% of the work force compared to 21% of the Silent Generation at the same time, and only 19% of the Great Generation. Though we are also retiring […]
Post Christian
I have read Gene Edward Veith, Jr. since I first learned of postmodernism from his book Postmodern Times in 1994. Veith considers this book to be a follow-up of the previous work. He has also written numerous other books on related subjects. This is a 2020 book and is a great update on the current […]
Biblical Handbook for Dealing with the S...
Pastor Shane Belding is a Canadian pastor living in International Falls, MN and pastoring across the border at Victory Baptist Church in Ft. Frances, Ontario. I have been with pastor Belding and the church many times. Shane is a competent counselor and serves both lay people and local pastors, especially on the Canadian side. Canada […]
Grandparenting with a Purpose
Of a growing number of books on grandparenting, this is a 2019 book by Lillian Penner which is an update of a 2010 book. This book majors on how to pray for grandchildren. It is more a book of methodology rather than exposition. Penner gives numerous examples of how you might pray for this characteristic […]
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 […]
10 Commitments for Dads
I have read Josh McDowell all my life, especially his books on apologetics. This was a different kind of book from him, however, but a good addition to his list. He describes his own “disfunctional” childhood and how he learned all he knows about parenting from being a parent and a student of God’s Word. […]
Shepherding a Child’s Heart
Tedd Tripp wrote this book in 1995 and I have read the 2005 edition. It is also available in a 2012 edition and also on Kindle. Tripp and his wife have also authored, “Instructing a Child’s Heart”. Though Tripp sometimes uses worn out criticisms of “rule keeping” as legalism and likes to use Christian School […]
