• Book Review: Bavinck, by James Eglinton -- “Besides the warning in the opening paragraph, I do have one major criticism. Eglinton offers little engagement with Bavinck’s personal devotional life and love for Christ. As a result, Bavinck may feel coldly academic to some readers.”
• Book Review: Parenting with Words of Grace, by William P. Smith -- “Some ‘grace’ books overcorrect our legalistic tendencies by falling into the opposite ditch of making no demands on the believer, but Smith steers clear of both legalism and license.”
• Book Review: Pastors and Their Critics, by Joel Beeke and Nick Thompson -- “Pastors and Their Critics is the right kind of pastoral theology: biblically-rooted, oriented to the heart, and immediately applicable to ministry. I have no criticism for this book.”
• Book Review: Rebels and Exiles, by Matthew Harmon -- “Harmon’s book explores a central biblical theme your people need to hear. Israel was exiled from the land for their sin. We are exiled from God’s presence because of our sin.”
• Book Review: Unreconciled -- “We live in a divided age. Division is prevalent at all levels of society. In fact, for many, division is simply the new normal—the unwavering characteristic of our age.”
• In the Hands of a Happy God: The “No-Hellers” of Central Appalachia -- “In this book Howard Dorgan introduces the faith, practices and history of the Primitive Baptist Universalists of Central Appalachia.”
