A Passion for Faithfulness: Wisdom From the Book of Nehemiah (Packer, J. I. Living Insights Bible Study.)
J. I. Packer
Crossway Books, 2000
He was one of the Bible's greatest leaders. A man of action who took on the incredible task of rebuilding ancient Jerusalem. He was dedicated. Wise. A zealous man who saturated himself with prayer. In all of this he helped set the standard for godly leadership. And yet you probably know nothing about him. He was Nehemiah. Indeed, his Old Testament book reads like the memoirs of a pastoral leader and politician par excellence . In it Nehemiah ...

The Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief and Behavior During the University Years5 reviews
Steven Garber
InterVarsity Press, 1996
thought-provoking book on an important topic
As both a person who is wrestling with how to live faithfully and with integrity -- and someone wanting to help college students to do the same--I found Garber's book a rewarding read. His identification of the absolute need for true and deep convictions, mentors whose characters embody these convictions, and life in a community of others wanting to live out these convictions have given me a ...

Paula Huston
Loyola Press, 2007
excellent guide for the ongoing journey
In her earlier book The Holy Way, Paula Huston mapped the landscape of a conversion. She charted her way--and illumined ours--with honesty, intelligence, and self-deprecating wit. In By Way of Grace, Huston shares her continuing journey, inviting us to join her as she delves deeper, climbs higher. Some of this way "from faithfulness to holiness" leads inevitably over steep and stony ground, as PH ...

Outrageous Idea of Academic Faithfulness, The: A Guide for Students2 reviews
Donald Opitz, Derek Melleby
Brazos Press, 2007
Outrageous!
The idea that the Christian faith and academic endeavors should be allies and not enemies is an outrageous idea to many Christians and non-Christians alike. It should not be.
Secularists want to banish faith from the public square. Unfortunately, and unbiblically, many Christians do too--by retreating into a cave where personal and private piety prevails--coupled with a stealth-like strategy ...

Faithfulness and Holiness: The Witness of J.C. Ryle4 reviews
J. I. Packer
Crossway Books, 2002
Persevering against the Odds
"I only know it is far easier to be a Christian among singing, praying, sympathizing Christians in a public room, than to be a consistent Christian in a quiet, retired, out-of-the-way, uncongenial home." As the other reviewers have said, this is an appreciation and should be read sa such. Appreciation or no, Packer reaveals the facts and this makes Ryle enjoyable to read about. Ryle was a man ...
