Book Review: What to Do When You Don’t Want to Go to Church, by Peggy Palau and Peggy Sue Wells

Book Review: Simply Christian, by N. T. Wright
Review by Andy Davis | 9Marks Journal: The Gospel | 03.05.2010Most pointedly, I don’t believe this book tenderly and clearly warns individual sinners of their peril or calls upon them to flee to Christ as the only remedy for their sin before God.

Review by Mike Gilbart-Smith | 03.03.2010For churches that already have an expositional ministry, this book will be richly encouraging because we all struggle to live out being the body of Christ.
Book Review: The Emotionally Healthy Church, by Peter Scazzero
Review by Chris Ambridge | 03.02.2010It appears that for Scazzero, the evidences of being a true believer are different from those of Scripture.
Book Review: Crazy Love, by Francis Chan
Review by Patrick Schreiner | 9Marks Journal: Church Discipline (Part 1) | 03.02.2010This book is a useful prod for anyone who treats Christianity as if it only means intellectually assenting to a set of facts, but not something that changes your life.
