Two new books of particular interest

In the coming months, two books of particular interest to me will be released. They are new books written by my father. The first is entitled Living the New Testament. It is a daily devotional (365 one-page readings) that will take the reader through the key passages in the New Testament providing not only explanation […]

Twilight and renewing your mind and your reading

Ephesians 4 is perhaps on of the most crucial portions of Scripture concerning the spiritual life of the believer. While the truths stated here are echoed throughout Scripture and the NT, so many statements about the inner life of the believer are made clearly and directly in this passage: …walk in a manner worthy of […]

Bestselling books and what they reveal about our souls

If the words that emanate from an individual’s lips reveals the content of that person’s heart, then it is also true that what a person writes is indicative of what is in his heart. It is with that understanding that Tim Challies has embarked on an interesting adventure for this year — he is endeavoring […]

Mohler: 3 blogs on theology and life

In the past week, Al Mohler has posted three different blogs that relate theology to life and the kinds of assumptions people have about God and the decisions that result from those assumptions. In “Air Conditioning Hell: How Liberalism Happens,” he writes, Theological liberals do not intend to destroy Christianity, but to save it. As […]

An excellent deal on devotional books

This month only, Grace Books International is offering John MacArthur’s two volumes, Daily Readings in the Life of Christ for the combined price of $10. That’s two books for $10. What a deal! Volume two was our book of the month selection last month (I think it was $8-10 alone), and I am currently using […]

The book of the month for January is The Holiness of God (Tim Challies has a good review of the book). Why pick a book on holiness? Aren’t we over-saturated with talk about holiness? Do we need to read another book or hear another sermon on holiness? We are Christians; we do know that holiness […]

They believe in the church

As I said recently, I love the church. In my journey of increasing passion for Christ’s bride, I have been helped by numerous writers who have stimulated my thinking towards godly and biblical thoughts about the church. We need preeminently the Word of God to shape our think on all things; but we are wise […]

Do you remember what you read?

A couple days ago, someone asked me (having walked into my office and seen my desk with several small piles of books), “do you remember everything you read?” “No. I know of people who do, but I don’t.” So you might ask the question, “then why read, if you don’t remember everything?” Well, there are […]
