Finished reading: The Art of Disagreeing by Gavin Ortlund π
This brief book is full of wisdom for our contentious times, explaining how meaningful disagreements must be both well-founded and graciously handled.
Recently Finished reading: Rose Guide to End-Times Prophecy by Timothy Paul Jones πI’m grateful for the author’s attempts to be even-handed, and highlight things to appreciation about each perspective. Still, it covers too much for most lay readers, and not enough for an in-depth assessment.
Finished reading: The Essential Means of Grace by Paul Washer π This short little book is a very readable and practical overview. I’ll be recommending this and buying copies to give away.
Finished reading: The Preeminent Christ by Paul Washer π
I’m always thankful to read a primer on essential doctrine that is devotional rather than dry and stirs the heart to worship. A bonus is the wealth of hand-selected quotes on the subject from throughout church history.
Finished reading: Finally Free by Heath Lambert π This is one of the best books I’ve read on this topicβfull of practical help and solid biblical wisdom, which is often missing from similar books. It will be one of the first books I recommend going forward.
Finished reading: Your God Is Too Small by J.B. Phillips π While I had a few minor criticisms this was, over all, stirring and thought provoking. A worthwhile read for both believers and skeptics.
Finished reading: Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls by Coleman Ford & Shawn Wilhite π The book was slow to click for me; however, I enjoyed the later chapters more. In all, itβs a worthwhile read for the many nuggets of pastoral wisdom, and a good intro to the benefits of reading the Fathers.
Finished reading: Deacons by Matt Smethurst π A helpful and solidly Biblical introduction to, or refresher on the office of deacon in the local church.
Finished reading: The Reluctant King by Sarah Bradford π Although the author gives too much detail occasionally about peripheral events this is overall an excellent biography for anyone interested in it’s subject.
Finished reading: Triumphing Over Sinful Fear by John Flavel An easy read as Puritan writers go, and full of good reminders and Biblical comfort.π
