This week’s book of the week is Rocking the Roles by Robert Lewis and William Hendricks. I just realized that Lewis is the man who wrote the curriculum for Men’s Fraternity which I have been learning a ton from these last few months. This book serves to clarify what the Bible says about the roles of husband and wife. This book …
This week’s book of the week is David Allen’s Getting Things Done. The funny thing is I am a week late on this book review because I have had too much to do! I made it 7 weeks into the new year with a book a week, and I failed miserably on the week I was reading a productivity book. …
This week’s book of the week is the ever-so-polarizing The Shack by William P. Young. I have received more questions about this book than I did about The Da Vinci Code. When people ask, it normally starts like this, “Have you read The Shack? What did you think about it?” I’ll ask what they thought about it and they want to …
This week’s book of the week is Donald S. Whitney’s Simplify Your Spiritual Life. I first read Dr. Whitney’s book on spiritual disciplines in seminary, and he has one of the most helpful and practical voices to helping people grow spiritually. In a chaotic world, he wrote this volume to give many bite-size chapters on how to simplify your spiritual …
This week’s book of the week is Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages. While I have used the premise of this book often in counseling, I had never actually read the book. Since this week was a heart book read, I decided to go through this book finally. The idea is that we all have primary love language that we …
This week’s book of the week was Andy Stanley’s Making Vision Stick. Stanley is the pastor of North Point Community Church. He is one of the smartest leaders I have ever had the privilege to be taught by. The guy breathes organization and systems. He is often criticized for his use of corporate leadership within the church, but he rebuttles that …
This week’s book of the week is Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. You can listen to him explain the book in the video above. My college roommate, Phillip, told me about how great Keller’s writings were, and since I started my religion course back, I thought this would be a good mind-stretching selection …
This week’s book of the week is by Francis Chan entitled Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit. Chan has been a mentor of mine from events, sermons, and writings. I believe he has been placed by God in this generation to wake the church up and invite us back to walking intimately with God. In this …
This week’s book of the week is Raising Dad by Thom S. Rainer and Art Rainer. I am grateful to Chuck Lawless for recommending this book to me. Lawless is the dean at the Billy Graham school at Southern Seminary. His predecessor was Thom Rainer, now the president of LifeWay Christian Resources. In conversations with Dr. Lawless concerning being a …
This week’s book of the week is Alexander Strauch’s Biblical Eldership. Our elders at North Side have gone through this book as a study. The book is a biblical exposition of the New Testament model of elders within a local church. While we studied it in groups going over different sections, I took this week to reread it and really …
