He Speaks To Me Everywhere: Meditations On Christianity And Culture 2 reviews Philip Graham Ryken
P & R Publishing, 2004
Practical Theology
+ Great Follow-Up to My Father's World
A friend of mine, who is far more qualified than I am to make such judgments, tells me that Philip Ryken is among the top two or three preachers in the world today. That is quite a claim, but one I am more willing to believe as I continue to read Ryken's work. Until a few weeks ago I knew little ...

The Wages Of Spin: Critical Writings on Historical and Contemporary Evangelicalism Trueman, Carl
Mentor, 2005

The point of having a debate is not to ...

The Face of Truth: Lifting the Veil 1 review William Edgar
P & R Publishing, 2001
Moderate Read
If you are looking for a good mix of history and technical confirmation, this is a good book to read. As I try and place myself in a non-believers, agnostic's or seeker's position, I try to ask if it answered questions about God and Jesus to my satisfaction. Understanding no one book will answer ...

Where Are All the Brothers?: Straight Answers to Men's Questions about the Church 4 reviews Eric C. Redmond
Crossway Books, 2008
In Defense of Christ and His Church
+ Great apologetic for the diminshing Y chromosomes in the church + This is an Invaluable Outreach Tool!

In fact, "Where Are All ...
