Book Review: Decision Making and the Will of God, by Garry Friesen
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.05.2010Read the book, but just make sure you’re not convinced of the stupidity of the regulative principle by that one-page section.
Book Review: Into the Future, by Elmer Towns and Warren Bird
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.05.2010The danger of trying to survey and summarize so many different books on so many different topics is that you will have neither space nor focus to deal with any of the issues well.
Book Review: The Church of Irresistible Influence, by Robert Lewis
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.05.2010So long as the reader keeps in mind that community service cannot be the goal of the Christian life, Lewis’s book makes some helpful points.
Book Review: Found: God’s Will, by John MacArthur
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.05.2010Never assume that God wants you to follow a desire that is contrary to any principle laid out in His Word.
Book Review: The Church on the Other Side, by Brian McLaren
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010I can appreciate Brian McLaren’s determination to think about postmodernism, but I do think he has surrendered far too much.
Book Review: Where Do We Go From Here?, by Ralph Neighbour
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.03.2010The structure of cell churches the author proposes seems to me to surrender far too much of what it means to be a church.

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: 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 Faithful Preacher, by Thabiti M. Anyabwile
Review by Ken Jones | 9Marks Journal: Race and Ethnicity | 03.03.2010The Faithful Preacher is indeed an important, insightful, and invigorating work that should benefit all who read it—whether Black or White, clergy or laity.
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.
