If you wish to comment and provide useful dialogue on the topic of this post, feel free; but if you wish to… Read More »
Book Review – Real Church
::SIGH:: ::YAWN:: I really, really wanted to like Larry Crabb’s book Real Church: Does It Exist? Can I find it? – I really did. And I tried hard. But ultimately, it is yet another book from yet another disillusioned Christian begging the church to be something more than it is. I found it ironic that in… Read More »
BOOK REVIEW – Where Is God?
Here’s What I Know A book like this is so hard to review, at least for me. It is clear that John Townsend wrote this book to address a specific set of questions. But they are questions I am not asking.I am reminded of the famous phrase from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “the question… Read More »
BOOK REVIEW – The Busy Couple's Guide to Sharing the Work & the Joy
This is the first book from Tyndale House that I have had an opportunity to review. I was pretty excited to begin reviewing for Tyndale since I am already part of both Thomas Nelson and Multnomah’s blog networks. Technically, this book is part of one of Tyndale’s smaller imprints, Picket Fence Press. Picket Fence handles… Read More »
Book Review – Fearless by Max Lucado
Max Lucado is one of those writers who is virtually untouchable. It does not matter whether he writes the greatest book in the history of the world or the worst, people will buy his books in the hundreds of thousands. He has become an institution of contemporary Christianity. After all, he has sold more than… Read More »

BOOK REVIEW – A Short History of Christianity
In preparation for teaching a course at the New Hampshire Institute of Biblical Studies, I have been reading a lot of history – both sacred and secular. In conversation with another instructor at the school, I picked up A Short History of Christianity by Stephen Tomkins as a possible textbook. History is not simply one… Read More »
Book Review – Activate
My friend Larry, from Focus In, was up for a small groups workshop at the church. He brought one of his many books with him – Activate by Nelson Searcy and Kerrick Thomas. Searcy and Thomas started a church called The Journey, which currently meets in three locations in New York City. They came from… Read More »
Radical Reformission – Chapter 4
This is the fifth installment of my comments on Radical Reformission by Mark Driscoll. I think chapter 4, entitled “Elvis in Eden,” provides a lot of practical thoughts to mull over as we attempt to build the Kingdom of God. Particularly, it is focused on culture and making decisions about living in it. Understanding Culture… Read More »
Radical Reformission – Chapter 2
Launching into tonight’s review of Radical Reformission, I’ve got some classic U2 in the background with The Joshua Tree and October. I apologize for the delay on getting chapter 2 out, but I took a part-time job at Fidelity Investments and it is taking up my normal blogging time. I’m not going to complain because… Read More »
