Book Review: Oprah: The Gospel of An Icon
Review by Jonathan Baer | 12.15.2014Oproah can—and does—offer promises of temporal salvation, but it fails to deliver anything of enduring value.
Book Review: Hand in Hand, by Randy Alcorn
Review by Jason Helopoulos | 12.11.2014If nothing else, this book is a needed correction for angry Arminians and cranky Calvinists.
Book Review: Women of the Word, by Jen Wilkin
Review by E. Bratcher | 12.09.2014Of course a Christian woman’s life is very full. But maybe that’s not a good excuse for not digging into the Word in a meaningful way.

Book Review: Roman Catholic Theology and Practice, by Gregg Allison

Book(s) Review: Persecuted & The Global War on Christians

Book Review: The Community of Jesus, ed. by Christopher Morgan and Kendell Easley
Review by Andy Naselli | 10.30.2014This book wrestles with the key texts on the people of God throughout Scripture, shrewdly synthesizes the themes, and warmly applies it to God’s people today.

Review by Garrett Kell | 10.27.2014I wanted a resource to both improve my preaching and to pass on to young preachers. I didn’t come away disappointed.
Book Review: Shrink, by Tim Suttle
Review by Shawn Merithew | 10.20.2014This book has value insofar as it raises critical questions about churches’ love of pragmatism. But that’s about it.

Book Review: Homespun Gospel, by Todd Brenneman
Review by Matt McCullough | 9Marks Journal: Vanishing Church? | 10.13.2014This book criticizes Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, and Max Lucado for their sentimentality. Is the critique convincing?
