• An Introduction to the Baptists by Erroll Hulse -- "The book provides a useful Introduction to the Baptists...But a similar work for the 21st Century is badly needed, one that brings things right-up-to date in terms of historical developments..."
• Best Books for Pastors in 2018 -- "We asked pastors from around the world a simple question: what books did you read in 2018 that helped you be a better pastor?"
• Book Review: Seven Practices for the Church on Mission, by David Fitch -- "Fitch’s emphasis on the presence of God as part of our conception of the nature of the church and a philosophy of ministry does have some benefit. But his development of these ideas lacks Scriptural substance."
• Book Review | The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary, 3 vols. by Robert Alter -- "What had been thought to be impossible—a complete modern Bible translation with expert commentary, not by committee, but by a single individual—is indeed possible."
• John Owen and English Puritanism by Crawford Gribben -- "Owen is a difficult man to read. While the details of his public career are known, his inner thoughts are hard to fathom."
• Kirkus Review - Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts -- "A highly readable combination of significant topic, deep reporting, endlessly fascinating anecdotes, and vivid writing."
• Life Application Study Bible Review -- "As I became familiar with what the LASB actually says instead of staying locked into first impressions, I discovered a spiritual depth rarely found in study editions of the Bible."
• Review: Ember Rising by S. D. Smith -- "Loved it. So did the kids. (And the illustrations, by my respected friend Zach Franzen, were also excellent.)"
• ‘Scandalous’ preview: World hears videotaped depositions -- "‘Scandalous’ is a historical documentary-style series that chronicles the sequence of events that enveloped Washington and ultimately led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton during the 1990’s."
