What He Must Be … if he wants to marry my daughter by Voddie Baucham, Jr.

March 2, 2009

Thanks to Crossway Books, I was able to read this book shortly after it came out. Much thanks to them. I’ll let you know more about how kind they are at the end.
First of all when I first saw the title my initial thought was this was a book about courtship and what to look [...]

What’s In Your Library?

February 17, 2009

The Preacher’s Library By Jay Adams
You used to be able to tell a lot about a preacher—and about his preaching—simply by walking into his library. If it was filled with catchy titles, how-to manuals, frothy experience-oriented fluff, as well as second-rate commentaries, you could know that isn’t the place to hang your hat as a church [...]

Advice On Reading – Richard Baxter

February 7, 2009

from Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
“Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy scriptures ever have the pre-eminence, and, next to them, those solid, lively, heavenly treatises which best expound and apply the scriptures, and next, credible histories, especially of the Church . . . but take heed of false teachers who would [...]

“What He Must Be… If He Wants to Marry My Daughter” by Voddie Baucham

February 6, 2009

Voddie Baucham has a new book
As a father with an eighteen year-old daughter, I’ve been thinking about issues of courtship and marriage for a while now. However, I knew that the ‘rules’ I grew up with weren’t going to cut it. This book is the result of my personal journey through God’s word trying to [...]

C.S. Lewis – What Shall We Think of Him?

December 16, 2008

Many people quote C.S. Lewis and I have learned much from reading his materials and books, such as Mere Christianity. However, I greatly disagree with much of his material. One specific instance is in his book The Last Battle, from the Chronicles of Narnia series. In the chapter “Farther Up, and Further In“, Emeth, a [...]

Twilight – Praised by Christian Groups?

December 16, 2008

Lighthouse Trails has a lengthy post about the book series Twilight and the subsequent movie. I have noticed that several “Christian” sites have recommended the series for teens due to the supposed good qualities of the books.

Twilight Review – Challies

November 25, 2008

I had no intentions to read the book Twilight but it had been mentioned frequently especially with the movie coming out. Tim Challies does a good review about the book.
Book Review – Twilight
I just don’t know that young girls will derive any benefit from spending hours reading and thinking about such an unrealistic, unobtainable, perverse [...]

October 18, 2008

“The Shack” as referred to in the post Why is God Referred to as Male?, is reviewed at Steve Camp’s site in THE SHACK REVIEW…a call to discernment. My husband said just last night that “The Shack” was still on the first page of the CBD catalog, it has been for months.
For more information on [...]

Why is God Referred to as Male?

October 18, 2008

Both Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch and The Shack by William Young portray God as female although God is typically portrayed as male by Bible believing Christians.
Conversations With God
“You’ll spend your whole life looking for God and not finding Her. Because you’re looking for a Him.” page 40
“Yet the thinking mind begs to [...]

The Shack – still a best seller with “Christians”

August 19, 2008

The shack is still listed as the number one seller on Christianbook.com. I do not understand why so many “Christians” are busy reading this book and yet don’t have time to read their Bible.
Open Mind, Closed Bible by Tim Challies at Challies.com.
Almost eight months after my review of The Shack I continue to get daily [...]
