Finished reading: How to Lead Your Family by Joel R. Beeke. Two days in and I’ve already finished what may be my most impactful book of the year. (Yes it’s short. It’s also that good.) I’ll be recommending this one frequently. 📚

Finished reading: The Spirit of the Age by J. V. Fesko 📚 This brief, somewhat technical overview provides a helpful historical survey and analysis of the confession’s pneumatology.
Finished re-reading: The Kingdom of God by Jeffrey Johnson 📚 An excellent book. One of the best introductions to historic baptist covenant theology that I’ve read.
Finished reading: Taught by God by Brandon D. Smith which makes the case for the admiration and retrieval of a premodern form of interpretation. 📚
“every biblical theology is incomplete, a drawn-up bucket out of an endless well”
— L. Michael Morales in Exodus Old and New 💬 📚
I finished reading: Exodus Old and New by L. Michael Morales 📚 Although a few of the author’s connections were unconvincing, this book succeeds in clearly establishing the exodus as an important theme throughout scripture.
Finished reading: The Covenants by R. B. C. Howell, a book on Baptist Covenant Theology from the 19th century. I found chapters 7 and 9 the most helpful. Be aware, that the author has some unique views, and the language is a bit archaic. It’s available free online or as an ebook 📚
Finished reading: The Art of Disagreeing by Gavin Ortlund 📚
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 📚I’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.
