Book Review: Finding God’s Will, by J. I. Packer
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010J. I. Packer’s Finding God’s Will is a very useful and characteristically careful study of guidance in the New Testament.
Book Review: God’s Will and the Christian, by R. C. Sproul
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010This is a very useful book, especially for the theologically astute seeker of God’s will.
Book Review: In Search of Authentic Faith, by Steve Rabey
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010The book is, for the most part, an unquestioning, uncritical, and naively approving tribute to anything that could pass as “creative.”
Book Review: Reforming Pastoral Ministry, ed. by John Armstrong
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010John Armstrong has compiled a book called Reforming Pastoral Ministry that is a well-placed and much-needed dart in the balloon of the church growth movement.
Book Review: The Church Beyond the Congregation, by James Thwaites
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010James Thwaites is a sobering example of what can happen when we allow a philosophy or idea to gain ascendancy in our minds, and only then ask the Scriptures to agree with us.
Book Review: The Gathered and Scattered Church, by Edward Hammett
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010Jesus never made social problems or social action His overriding concern. Hammett needs either to understand that, or at least to write it, more clearly.
Book Review: The Jesus I Never Knew, by Philip Yancey
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010This is indeed a day when novel ideas about Jesus are frequent and fashionable, but far from correcting those errors, this book only serves to make them even more acute.
Book Review: The Peacemaker, by Ken Sande
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010Sande has given the church a helpful guide on how the church can better bear out her testimony to the life-changing power of her Savior.
Book Review: The Prayer of Jabez, by Bruce Wilkinson
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010The theology of prayer that Wilkinson teaches in the book is entirely unconnected to the Christian gospel.
Book Review: Finding the Will of God, by Bruce Waltke
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010Waltke’s book is useful, and it’s probably worth the price of purchase just for the section on divination and modern practices of “finding God’s will.”
Book Review: Houses That Change the World, by Wolfgang Simson
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.02.2010Like so many before and beside him, Simson believes we need a major reformulation of the church’s life and structure.
Wanted: Plotting and Provoking Church Members
By Greg Gilbert | 9Marks Journal: Hospitality & Friendship | 03.01.2010Because of everything Jesus has done, and because of everything that he is, Christians are to stir one another up to love and good works.
