• Book review: A Nonconservative’s Plea to Those Leaving Conservative Churches -- “...liberal Christianity has cut the cord of continuity with the Christian past, orthodoxy, so thoroughly that it ought to be considered a different religion.”
• Book Review: Megachurch Christianity Reconsidered, Wanjiru M. Gitau -- “My greatest criticism of Megachurch Christianity Reconsidered is its fixation on one segment of society—millennials.”
• Book Review: Men and Women in the Church, Kevin DeYoung -- “Men and Women in the Church: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction, lives up to its subtitle. It is short. It is biblical. It is practical.”
• Book Review: Mission Affirmed, by Elliot Clark -- “How do you pastor church members who often don’t show up for years at a time? I’m not talking about Easter-Sunday Christians here. I’m talking about missionaries.”
• Lives Of Robert & James Haldane -- “The brothers’ secession from the Church of Scotland and their consequent struggle to recover a church life more faithful to the New Testament is frankly, and at times critically, told.”
• People of the Book: How Have Christians Viewed Books Across Centuries? -- “Reading The Library as a theologian, I was struck by the reminder that Christianity provides idiosyncratic reasons to value books written by non-Christians.”
• Review: Means of Ascent by Robert A. Caro -- “The book comes to a satisfying conclusion with Coke Stevenson, who lost power, instead finding joy on his ranch, in God’s creation, with his wife.”
• What Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” Can Teach the Modern Worker -- “Before Dale Carnegie wrote one of the best-selling business books of all time, How to Win Friends and Influence People, he founded his own school, the Dale Carnegie Center for Excellence, in 1912.”
• Why I Wrote a Book about the Marrow Controversy -- “The story itself begins in early eighteenth-century Scotland. It then moves briefly backwards some seventy years to England and to the writing of an obscure and unusual book set in the form of a Socratic dialog.”
