Love That Lasts: When Marriage Meets Grace 9 reviews
Gary Ricucci, Betsy Ricucci
Crossway Books, 2006
Biblical marriage
This marriage book stands out because its focus is Biblical. Many Christian marriage books seem to come at marriage from a psychological angle first, then add verses to support that. This starts with a Biblical view of marriage and then moves towards each spouses practical responses to that view. A group of couples in our church recently went through this book and many found it to be very ...

Living the Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel the Main Thing 11 reviews
C. J. Mahaney
Hovel Audio, 2007
Great work...
This book is truly a great one as C.J. Mahaney brings it all back to the cross. A lot of this book includes previous works, "The Cross Centered Life" and "Christ Our Mediator." I also had just listened to C.J.'s sermon from the 2005 Resolved Conference called "Interrogating the Legalist Within" so most of this was review. But if you have yet to read or listen to these, please pick this little ...

Humility: True Greatness36 reviews
C. J. Mahaney
Multnomah Books, 2005
How Humility helped me
This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I would recommend it for anyone who needs or wants to be more humble. It has broadened my prospective not only as a Christian but as a recovering alcoholic. This book is so touching and moving that I couldn't put it down. It makes me believe that "God is good all the time and all the time God is good". This a true MaHaney masterpice!

Mark Dever, J. Ligon Duncan, ...
Crossway Books, 2007
Keeping the Cross Central
Nothing today in the church is needed more than a clear proclamation of the cross. Because every generation needs a fresh discovery of the gospel, Preaching the Cross is good food for this generation. The book is the collection of the sermon manuscripts from the 2006 Together for the Gospel Conference, encouraging pastors to preach and live the gospel. The book covers various gospel-related ...

Why Small Groups? 5 reviews
Sovereign Grace Ministries, 1996
the heart of small groups
This book is biblically founded and helped me to see the importance(largely from the bible) of having small groups. Accountability, biblical fellowship, speaking into each other's lives is the heart of the church. While small groups cannot take the place of the local church, they are a great context in which to apply the truths we learn in church. I especially liked the part about qualifications ...

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know7 reviews
C. J. Mahaney
Crossway Books, 2004
C.J. Mahaney at His Best
I felt a deep sense of deja vu as I read Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God. It took me only a few pages to realize that this book, in a condensed form, forms the basis for a chapter in Sex and the Supremacy of Christ (edited by John Piper and Justin Taylor). I had enjoyed that particular chapter of Sex and the Supremacy of Christ and felt certain I would likewise enjoy this lengthened version.

The Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel The Main Thing32 reviews
C.J. Mahaney
Multnomah Books, 2002
The Cross is the Main Thing
When we walk into our rooms we turn on the lights. Do you ever stop with a jaw-dropping awe for the ability to see so clearly? Imagine bringing anyone from the past centuries into our modern-day world. They would revel and be continually astonished as they walk into rooms where light is of no scarcity, literally a fingertip away. It has been pointed out that familiarity often breeds contempt. In ...

Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World
C. J. Mahaney
Crossway Books, 2008
This resource uncovers the presence of worldliness and helps believers learn to relate to the world while resisting its influence in their lives. People today are saturated in technology and prosperity. They are bombarded with endless luxuries: clothes to wear, cars to buy, vacations to take, entertainment to enjoy. Yet this world, which offers so many pleasures, is actively opposed to God and the truth of His Word. How, then, is the believer ...

Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter
Nancy Guthrie
Crossway Books, 2009
This collection of readings, drawn from the writings and sermons of 25 classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers, focuses on the wonder of Christ?s sacrifice. In a culture where crosses have become little more than decorative accessories and jewelry, how easy it is for even the most well-intended Christian to rush from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday without thoughtfully contemplating the cross and all that it means. Yet we miss out ...

Girl Talk: Mother-Daughter Conversations on Biblical Womanhood5 reviews
Carolyn Mahaney, Nicole Mahaney Whitacre
Crossway Books, 2005
Fun, appealing, and truthful
Right from the introduction, I could tell that "Girl Talk" was going to be one of those books that I was going to look for every opportunity to pick up and read. The candid and humorous way that it is written made it appealing. And I found the way that they presented biblical truths about womanhood and mother-daughter relationships to be applicable, encouraging, and at times personally ...

Pastoral Leadership for Manhood and Womanhood (Foundations of the Family)1 review
Crossway Books, 2003
Excellent practical help for busy pastors
I cannot imagine a more relavant book for busy pastors than this. There is condensed wisdom to be found here from those who have obviously wrestled with the many issues that face us these days. The editors asume that faithfulness to scripture regarding manhood and womanhood is itself 'leadership'. For this approach many will be grateful. A variety of experienced contributors provide more tham ...

The Truth is Hard to Swallow
Dennis Rainey's compilation of Christian authors is brought together very well. The content is so needed for the Christian who wants to make a difference in their home and in their marriage.
With a penchant for honesty and thorough research, this book delivers, in each chapter, a feast for thought and self evaluation. The intellectual approach to challeneging the Christian reader makes this ...

C.J. Mahaney
Multnomah Books, 2004
How to live a Cross centered life
CJ is one of my modern day heroes. Through his humility and teaching, the Lord has given me a new vision of the Cross. This book can help you no matter where you're at in your spiritual life. Whether a new believer (easy to understand), someone who doesn't believe (life changing), someone who doesnt like to read (only 95 pages), or a scholar who thinks this is below him (very deep and ...
