Book Review: Orthodox Radicals, by Matthew Bingham
Review by Bobby Jamieson | 08.29.2019It is logically easier to be baptistic without being congregational than to be congregational without being baptistic. Yet the two convictions fit together snugly. Maybe our earliest English ecclesiological ancestors were on to something.

Book Review: Grace Defined and Defended
Review by Mark Redfern | 08.01.2019In my own church, we recently spent the month of July preaching on the doctrines of grace. DeYoung’s book provided helpful historical context and pastoral application for the series. I gladly recommend this book to pastors and growing Christians alike.

Book Review: Unreconciled
Review by Jeremy Meeks | 07.18.2019Jeon’s short book has some helpful insights on community and reconciliation based on principles found in Philemon.

Book Review: Evangelism as Exiles
Review by Caleb Greggsen | 07.11.2019Elliot Clark’s book is a gift to Christians tempted to feel discouraged by their increased sense of alienation in America. More than that, it is a clarion call to confidently declare the gospel in a world that desperately needs it.
Book Review: The Book Your Pastor Wishes You Would Read
By M. Redfern, T. Hoak | 06.27.2019Just as pastors will be held accountable for how faithfully they obeyed the command to oversee the flock, so church members will be held accountable for how faithfully they obeyed the command to make shepherding their church a groan-free experience for their pastor.
Book Review: To the Ends of the Earth, by Michael Haykin and C. Jeffrey Robinson Sr.

Book Review: Preaching as Reminding, by Jeffrey D. Arthurs
Review by Juan Sanchez | 05.23.2019As preachers, we are not only the Lord’s heralds, we are also the Lord’s remembrancers, reminding God’s people of their obligations to the covenant with our king while also calling God’s people back to covenant faithfulness whenever they may wander.
Book Review: Disruptive Witness, by Alan Noble
Review by Kyle Newcomer | 05.16.2019As we fulfill the one another’s of the New Testament, the corporate life of the church is a witness that true meaning is found not in expressing yourself, but in losing your life for Christ’s sake and the gospel (Mark 8:35).
Book Review: Mere Calvinism, by Jim Orrick
Review by Mark Redfern | 05.09.2019Let Orrick’s book lead you to a place of peaceful confidence in God’s love for you in Christ and a more robust worship of the One who deserves all the credit in our salvation.
