Good Material but Too Episodic and Superficial Albert Moehler is a Christian phenomenon. His presence for the good of God’s Kingdom seems to be everywhere, and finally he’s written a book. While I agree with almost all that Moehler has to say in “Culture Shift” I still don’t think it’s a great book. This [...]
Some Good Ideas Mixed with Careless Claims and Not So Good Ideas Many Christians have recognized that the Church today seems to have a problem with men not coming to church. As a priest concerned about this trend, I decided to read David Murrow’s “Why Men Hate Going to Church.” While I found a lot [...]
Provocative Prophesy of America’s Future I have to say at the beginning of my review that while I don’t always agree with Pat Buchanan’s prescriptions, his descriptions of what’s going on in America tend to be highly accurate and significant. Even if you disagree with Pat’s assessment of the trends he chronicles in “Suicide of [...]
Brilliant and Provocative Book on Jesus and His Kingdom N.T. Wright’s latest book, “Simply Jesus,” claims to be a new vision of who Jesus is and what He did. Ultimately, the book is what it claims. It’s a sometimes brilliant and inspiring re-presentation of who Jesus is and what He came to do. But unfortunately, [...]

Has Led Many to Use and Celebrate the Spiritual Disciplines Richard Foster has served the Church and Christians well by writing this book, “Celebration of Discipline.” Modern Christians have so separated their head knowledge from their heart knowledge and behavior that our faith is weak. It’s no wonder that many people are leaving the faith [...]
Addiction and Virtue – Kent Dunnington Very Important Christian Understanding of Addiction and Its Meaning “Addiction and Virtue” is a book lover’s dream. It’s a book with a big and important idea, presented in an original thesis, and compellingly argued. What Kent Dunnington has done is to provide us with an extremely important book about [...]
Can Lead Christians to Experience God But Can Also Lead Them Astray “Experiencing God” by Henry Blackaby and Claude King (and now also Richard Blackaby) seems to be a book for which reviewers find no middle ground. Almost all of the reviewers on Amazon give the book 5 stars (with one 4 star book) and [...]
Clear Diagnosis of What Liberal Christianity Is Even though J. Gresham Machen’s “Christianity and Liberalism” was first written in 1923, it’s still a relevant and important analysis of liberal Christianity.
