Ravi Zacharias continues his Conversations With Jesus Series with New Birth and Rebirth: Jesus Talks With Krishna. (Other available titles in the series on on the same order page.)
Those of us who appreciate Ravi Zacharias as a mentor and teacher have enjoyed these books even as we realize the limitations of each one. The […]

Many evangelicals have an interest in Rwanda as a place where short and long term mission efforts are becoming more common. Two of my fellow staff members are quite possibly on their way to Rwanda as career missionaries. Resources on Rwanda are not easy to find. While there are some excellent films, print resources with […]

I’ve got two books to recommend this morning. Both would be helpful to small groups looking for topical resources for discussion and study.
The first book is Tom Davis’s Confessions of a Good Christian Guy, a book that rings the bell for one of my favorite topics: transparency and vulnerability in Christian community.
I have a lot […]

My good friend and associate Clark Bunch has been blogging for a while, and today he’s contributing a book review. You can read him regularly at The Master’s Table and his own weblog. Thanks for pitching today’s game, Clark.
The New Atheist Crusaders, and their Unholy Grail by Becky Garrison

Becky Garrison is an editor of […]

UPDATE: OK. Here we go again. I’m not putting up with it this time. You want to respond respectfully, great. But anything less than calm and reasonable isn’t going to make it.
If you don’t know about my wrestlings with Catholicism, I can’t catch you up. Hit the search engine or ask someone who obsessively reads […]

Looking for God is a collection of personal and topical essays by Nancy Ortberg, loosely themed around the idea of rethinking/rediscovering God through Jesus.
Each essay has a central theme, a Biblical center, good questions and outstanding- really, really outstanding- real world illustration and application.
While the book doesn’t tell me a lot about Ortberg’s rediscovery of […]

Matthew 6:31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God* above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you […]

Because you have a real life, maybe you can only read one book about Jesus scholarship this year. What’s it going to be?
I love N.T. Wright’s Jesus and The Victory of God, but unless you are used to scholarly exegesis and discussion, you need something aimed more at the non-academic, but not short-changing you on […]

UPDATE: Here’s an example of what Young is writing at his own blog these days.
I cannot tell you how important it is for you to go listen to this interview. If you’ve read The Shack and wondered how the story expresses the faith journey of the author, this is the interview you are waiting for.
William […]

Following the trail of influences from William P. Young’s much maligned book The Shack (a book that’s earned all the right enemies to be commended strongly to all readers of this blog,) I discovered The God Journey Podcast.
I’ve been feasting ever since.

At the Asbury Bloggers Society meeting last night, we had a wide ranging discussion on various aspects of blogging and ministerial formation at the seminary level. One of my suggestions was that a blogger develop a list of “teaching” blogs that exhibit and demonstrate excellence. Use these blogs to ask yourself questions about your own […]

Mark Galli: Beyond Smells and Bells: The Wonder and Power of Christian Liturgy
Well….just go buy this book. I know you plan on buying some other book about things you already know, but you need this book, because it’s absolutely a 512 foot home run on the subject of liturgy in worship, and you know how […]

UPDATE: I agree with Doug Wilson that Wright’s lefty politics is a considerably different matter than his theology in this book.
With Surprised by Hope, N.T. Wright has done several important things.
He has written perhaps his most accessible theological book on an important topic of interest to not only most Christians, but to millions of people […]

A profile of Sara Miles at Religion and Ethics This Week.
Sara Miles.net.
Easily qualifying as the most interesting spiritual memoir I’ve read since Merton’s Seven Storey Mountain, Sara Miles’ Take This Bread is an incredible blast of fresh air into the shelves of ever-less-relevant accumulations of prose that pass for Christian writing these days. Take This […]

A sample chapter is available here.
Bruxy Cavey is the pastor of a Canadian emerging church called “The Meeting House” and author of The End of Religion, a book that gives a good look at the theology of the “mainstream” emerging church.
Cavey pushed plenty of my happy buttons, with early admissions that he was a beneficiary […]
