Book review: Three more books to consider

Here are three books that each offer some great insights. One focuses on Christian discipleship, and the other two on significant cultural issues that require a lens of wisdom to interpret.

Pocket This: Reflections on Jen Hatmaker, spiritual authority and Christian ignorance

I took a journey on the Segue Bus after reading a 10+ year-old article about Jen Hatmaker that made me laugh. Set aside about 20 minutes and take this journey with me through articles and observations with the benefit of hindsight.

Book Review: “A Praying Church” by Paul Miller

I bought this book to read, expecting to savor it. I put it down strangely disappointed. I'd encourage you to read his first book rather than this one.

Book Review: Spiritual Depression by Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones

No one likes to carry around a book which seems to scream, "I have a problem!" Get this book. Give this book as a gift. It's a tremendous read which will usher you chapter by chapter into deeper joy.

Book Review: “Defending the Declaration” by Gary Amos

Could the Declaration of Independence have been written without the influence of the Bible and Christianity? This excellent book provides a compelling and stunningly relevant argument (it was published in 1989) as to why our national malaise and embarrassment over our founding can be traced to a terrible misreading of the Declaration and an attempt to divorce it from Christianity's profound influence.
