Book Review: Lost and Found: The Younger Unchurched and the Churches that Reach Them, by Ed Stetzer
Review by Bobby Jamieson | 9Marks Journal: Church Discipline (Part 2) | 03.02.2010I think that a less-than-biblical philosophy of ministry shines through at certain points, so read with discernment.
Book Review: The Hip Hop Church, by Efrem Smith and Phil Jackson
Review by Thabiti Anyabwile | 9Marks Journal: Living As a Church | 03.02.2010Read the book to be more conversant with the young people of your congregations. But I would not recommend it for basic ecclesiological strategy.

Review by Matt Schmucker | 9Marks Journal: Marriage & Pastor's Wives | 03.02.2010Does your home have the aroma of Christ? This book should help provoke that question.

Book Review: The God-Centered Life: Insights from Jonathan Edwards for Today, by Josh Moody
Review by Andy Davis | 9Marks Journal: Church Discipline (Part 2) | 03.02.2010This book is a cogent and succinct summary of the central themes of the life of Jonathan Edwards, and Moody does his best work applying those themes to our present context.
Book Review: Gracism: The Art of Inclusion, by David A. Anderson
Review by Ken Jones | 9Marks Journal: Family & Parenting | 03.02.2010The term “gracism” sounds a great deal like affirmative action with a biblical twist. I think the tried and proven biblical standard and terms are sufficient for the task.
Book Review: Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church, by Mark DeYmaz
Review by Benjamin Wright | 9Marks Journal: Family & Parenting | 03.02.2010This book is a worthwhile read. But absorb its biblical-theological argumentation with a discerning eye.
Book Review: The Peacemaking Pastor, by Alfred Poirier
Review by Bob Johnson | 9Marks Journal: Family & Parenting | 03.02.2010More than once while reading, I had to put the book down, confess my sin, and pick up the phone to get involved again in a situation I was conveniently ignoring.
Book Review: Why Join a Small Church?, by John Benton
Review by Aaron Menikoff | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010Maybe small churches do have a lot to offer. This is the heart of Benton’s message, and I think it is worth listening to.
