The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World

5 reviews
John Piper, Justin Taylor

Crossway Books, 2007

Collection of essays to make you think
The whole collection of essays could easily be summarized in Voddie Baucham's statement on page 62: "Christ is 'before all things.' Why did you choose your last job? Was it because of the supremacy of Christ in truth as it relates to your purpose for existing? Or was it because it paid you more than the job you had before? Pastor, how did you choose your current church? Was it because of a ...

David F. Wells

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005

A Timely And Important Warning
Other reviewers have indicated how important & difficult this book is to read. It is dense and requires sustained thought. But the insights in this book are absolutely essential to understanding how dramatically, comprehensively and severly Evangelical Christianity has been compromised or is being compromised in the post-modern cultural context. I will focus on what I consider to be the ...

No Place for Truth or Whatever Happened to Evangelical Theology?

David F. Wells

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1993

A magisterial analysis!
This is a provocative, demanding and rewarding book that attempts to grapple with some of the central challenges of Christian thought and life in a modern or post-modern world. Looking through Amazon and one or two other online sites, it is clear that many readers have also read Mark A. Noll's The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. I have too; and by way of introduction to David F. Wells' book, it ...

David F. Wells

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994

Very insightful and thought provoking .
I am reading this book as part of a course in basic theology, and it is very illuminating. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the church who wants to tell about "the reason for the hope that lies within you..." It is not just for a few pastors and teachers to know theology; it is the opportunity of everyone in the church.

David F. Wells

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999

Virtue or values?
David Wells is my current favorite b/c he confronts with kind, intelligent, insightful, and helpful language the problems facing the church today. In this volume he discusses how we have gone from the language of virtue (i,e, courage, perseverance, integrity, etc.) to values (fun, amazing, exciting, etc.) in the course of a century. This loss of a moral center has cost not only our culture but ...

David Crystal, Ben Crystal

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

By Saint Charity -- What a great reference!
What an awesome idea! To put into one place definitions for the hard-to-understand Elizabethan English that one runs into in Shakepeare! Whether it be "prithee" or "forsooth" or "prating mountebank," the dictionary will help give the Shakespeare novice or pro the information needed to decipher the Bard's often-complex writing. In addition, there are frequent collections of definitions that ...

Reforming or Conforming?: Post-Conservative Evangelicals and the Emerging Church
Gary L. W. Johnson

Crossway Books, 2008

Thirteen Reformed scholars take on postmodern evangelicals and provide a solid, biblical critique of their ideas. While self-described ?post-conservative evangelicals? enjoy increasing influence in the evangelical world, they represent a significant challenge to biblical faith. Popularizers like Brian McLaren (of Emergent Church fame) trade on the work of scholars like Stan Grenz, John Franke, and Roger Olson, whose ?innovations? represent a ...

A Substantive (and Funny) Look at the Emerging Church
One of the books given to all who attended this year's Together for the Gospel conference in Louisville was Why We're Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be) (2008, Moody Press) by Ted Kluck and Kevin DeYoung. Out of the great number of books we received that week, Why We're Not Emerging quickly moved to the top of the list in my reading schedule. I had my doubts about the book: Would this be ...

The Penguin Book of Curious and Interesting Numbers: Revised Edition (Penguin Press Science)

8 reviews
David Wells

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998

Great for Middle and High School Students
A great supplemental tool for teachers! I had terrific fun with my 6th grade math students when reading them certain passages in this book. Many of the topics covered, such as factorials, hexidecimals, triangular numbers, pi, primes, etc. are not generally covered in the middle school very well or at all, and this book serves as a great launching tool for discussions that kids enjoy and think ...

David Wells, Chris Kreski

Harper Paperbacks, 2004

Good, Bad, Ugly -- all that and a lot more Boomer
At times he comes off as a long, lost best friend and at others he is a self-inflated, self-absorbed ass. He is a colorful character providing illuminating stories from the earliest days of playing rookie ball and Venezualan winter ball with beer guzzling, tail chasing future MLB players including Pat Borders, Cecil Fielder, Rob Duecy, and Todd Stottlemyre to the later days as a member of the ...

David Wells

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992

Invaluable for enriching Geometry courses
I was asked to enrich a school geometry course. Not much came off the top of my head. After discovering this book, I had so many leads I can enrich for years! It gave an insight into every topic covered in the standard course. It adds so much for those who want to teach more than just a method to get an answer.

Mathematics for senior citizaens
I do not have much of a mathematical background and I am 75. I was able to work my way straight through this book. I don't pretend to have understood some parts of it but the many parts I did understand were enthralling. I was able to read it straight through, albeit it slowly, and my interest never flagged. Thanks.

Treasured Children's Picture Book
This is the first in a series of three illustrated Christian picture books. My parents' copies (read by their 5 daughters many times over) are tattered and worn, so we went looking for a replacement. This one from Amazon does not have the original artwork; however Mainstay Ministries (David & Karen Mains' website) does carry the originals with the incredible artwork by Jack Stockman that made ...
