• Book Review: On the Meaning of Sex, by J. Budziszewksi -- "In our culture, sex means everything and sex means nothing."
• A Book Review, Or, What Bothers Me About Self-Help Books -- "Covey’s title promises to make you an “effective” person, but the book mostly maintains the strategy of secularism to avoid conflict by focusing on utilitarian means without deciding among metaphysical/theological/religious ends."
• Book Review: The Blessed Life, by Robert Morris -- "In the end, I think Robert Morris wants to serve the Lord and has led many to faith. But questions remain in my mind as to what sort of “blessing” he has offered."
• Book Review: Welsh Succession of Baptist Faith and Practice by Michael N. Ivey -- "Ivey seems to have made an attempt to justify the position of Primitive Baptists who hold to Conditional Time Salvation by bringing us this treatise."
• Review of The Theology of John Smyth, by Jason K. Lee -- "Lee’s final chapter provides another original construction of an aspect of Smyth’s theology as it relates to his understanding of church and state."
• The Best of Enemies, by Osha Gray Davidson -- "Davidson does a remarkable job of setting the scene for the charrette [an intense period of planning/activity]."
• The Bible and Race, by T.B. Maston -- "In celebration of its Centennial, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has reprinted T.B Maston’s The Bible and Race as part of its Library of Centennial Classics."
• The Wholehearted Wife {Review} -- "I loved how this book really focuses on my role as a Christian wife. It was not about how to “fix” my husband but how to fix myself!"
