Who of us hasn’t asked why bad things happen to good people? We’re confronted with the marks of living in a fallen world every day, yet we struggle to understand why we have to deal with such pain and suffering. In the first part of The God I Don’t Understand: Reflections [...]
We all ask these questions. It’s okay to admit it… there’s stuff you don’t understand when you read the Bible, right? Why did God order the killing of every living person… man, woman and child in Canaan? Why does a good God allow bad things to happen to good people? [...]
Let me begin this review by saying that this is a very difficult subject that involves many heated emotions and hurt feelings; when anyone broaches the subject of homosexuality and Christianity, sparks fly. Yet, I was relieved to find that Wesley Hill was not only honest, he was also authentic [...]
Notably, this book review has a bias. Kathleen Beard has become a good friend. There’s a strong sense of God’s presence when one is around her, and recently she’s become quite an influence in my life. When I agreed to review the book I hoped the writing would sustain itself [...]
I won The Inklings of Oxford: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Their Friends earlier this year (in the @bibledude giveaway marathon), and finally made time to review this facinating book from Harry Lee Poe (yes, distant relative of Edgar Allan.) This is both a photo book and [...]

Dear Ann, I’ve been reading your new book One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, and I wanted to share a few things that’ve been on my heart since I’ve started reading it. Your life humbles me. I read your words and find myself struggling [...]
Dave and Jon Ferguson set out in Exponential: How You and Your Friends Can Start a Missional Church Movement to show the reader how to move from a church that just grows by addition into a church involved in a movement that ultimately grows by multiplication. Jon and Dave are [...]

There was likely a period after Paul’s conversion to Christianity when he spent considerable time studying the Scriptures (The Law and the Prophets). As a Pharisee, he would have had an extremely high level of knowledge regarding the Word of God. But until his Damscus Road experience it would have [...]
When I first started reading Christ Among the Dragons: Finding Our Way Through Cultural Challenges (James Emery White, InterVarsity Press), I thought it was going to be some massive nay saying of modern church contextualization methods. Being familiar with detractors who have serious issues with most contemporary expressions of Christianity, [...]
The title of this book is by itself an attention grabber. But it’s not about some famous Christian becoming an atheist or some famous atheist becoming a Christian. Instead, it about all of us who say we are Christians. Craig Groeschel’s thesis in “The Christian Atheist: When You Believe in [...]
I remember it like it was yesterday. I looked at the box in the pantry, and something inside me broke. Next thing I know, I’m on my knees crying harder than I ever remember crying in my life. My 17-month old son had been diagnosed just days prior with Juvenile Diabetes. My [...]
