• Book Review: Enjoy Your Prayer Life, Michael Reeves -- “According to Reeves, we need to ‘think first about what prayer is’.”
• Book Review: If You Bite & Devour One Another, by Alexander Strauch -- “This book mines Scripture to discover God’s way for handling conflict in the church...a nuts-and-bolts guide to dealing with real conflict between real people in real churches.”
• Book Review: Kiffin, Knollys and Keach -- “I had read a little about the 17th century baptists, but not nearly as much as I should have.  This book filled in a lot of the gaps in my knowledge.”
• Book Review - Readings in Baptist History: Four Centuries of Selected Documents by Joe Early -- “This work fills a largely overlooked niche in the literature on Baptist history.”
• Book Review: Saturate, by Jeff Vanderstelt -- “...his methodology seems to be: treat unbelievers as Christians and they may want to follow Jesus whereas the Bible teaches: love Christians and unbelievers will see this and may want to follow Jesus, too...”
• Book Review: The Elder, by Cornelis Van Dam -- “While I unreservedly commend this book to you, I should point out that since Van Dam is a presbyterian, Baptists will have meaningful differences between their understanding of the office of elder and Van Dam’s proposals.”
• Book Review: The Evangelicals, By Frances Fitzgerald -- “She is fine with evangelicals as long as they keep their retrograde religiosity private, but holding traditional Christian convictions in the public square is out of bounds.”
• Book Review: Why Church? by Scott Sunquist -- “Compounding this concern was Sunquist’s endorsement of the Roman Catholic Church as a viable option for people seeking a local church.”
• Reflections on a Review -- “As I pointed out in the review, when defining “headship,” Byrd relies on a feminist scholar named Sarah Coakley to deny that “headship” involves any authority on a husband’s part.”
• Review of A Complete Categorized Greek-English New Testament Vocabulary -- “...Holly’s book brings together material from several different sources into one convenient handbook, and therefore it has a certain usefulness.”
• Roger Scruton on Marxism and Totalitarianism -- “In every totalitarian experiment, therefore, you will find that the first act of the centralized power is to single out certain groups for punishment.”
• The Chattahoochee Musical Convention: A Review -- “Miller’s preface makes it clear that the impetus and basic shape of the book came from the Georgia singers who participate in the convention and who have long been aware of Thurman’s manuscript and of the unusually copious surviving records of its history, still proudly displayed at annual sessions.”
