Book Review: The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God
The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God by D.A. Carson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Short discussion of the different ways the Bible talks about God’s love. A bit academic, thought not too much so, but certainly thought-provoking.

Book Review: Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream
Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a powerful book that pulls us out of our American context and confronts us with the question of what the gospel really demands of us. It is guaranteed to challenge you and probably scare you a little (in a good way). Definitely worth reading!

Book Review: Heaven
Heaven by Randy Alcorn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This has been an important part of a work that God has done in my heart, enflaming a longing for heaven and for God in whole new ways. If Christians lived with this perspective it would transform our daily lives. I feel as if the engine of my Christian life just got supercharged. I don’t know that Randy is right in all of his perceptions, but I do know that it won’t be less than this! This is what Christ saved us for, so make sure you know what the Bible has to say about heaven.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Based on a series of messages that Carson has been giving to secular audiences to introduce them to the basic ideas of Christianity. Good foundation with some really thoughtful ideas. Highly recommended.

Book Review: The Next Story by Tim Challies
The Next Story: Life and Faith after the Digital Explosion by Tim Challies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thought-provoking discussion of how the digital revolution has impacted our thinking, our culture, and our spiritual lives. Tim Challies has put together a very helpful discussion, being both even-handed and Biblical. These are not the rantings of a technology-hating rambler. Tim is thoughtful in both the areas of theology and technology. As a technology leader at a Christian ministry, this book gives me much more to think about.
If you are a gadget-loving Christian, you should read this book.
