Book Review: The Dangers of a Shallow Faith by A.W. Tozer

Regal Books has recently marketed a series of “never before published” books by A.W. Tozer.  These collective works have been compiled by James L. Synder.  Although this material was never organized in book form by Tozer, it does appeal to those of us who can’t get enough of his writings.

In the book, The Dangers of a Shallow Faith, you have the classic prophetic tone that is typical of Tozer’s style.  Tozer had a way of removing all the fluff of religious rhetoric.  He was able to get down to the core of our indifference and apathy.  He never …

Book Review: gods at war by Kyle Idleman

Kyle Idleman believes all of the issues we face in our spiritual development can be traced back to one word: idolatry.  In gods at war, he details the various gods that compete for the affection of our hearts.  As he states in his book, “Idolatry isn’t just one of many sins; rather it is the one great sin from which all others come.”

Idleman’s assessment rings true with Scripture;  the first commandment “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” is the foundational truth from which the Mosaic Law is established.  As a matter of fact, the entire law, …

Book Review: The Painful Side of Leadership by Jeff Iorg

The Painful Side of Leadership has a different tone from most leadership books on the market today.  Most material on leadership details what a leader should do or how a leader should act.  If you pick up any bestselling leadership book you will find that much attention is given to the qualities, attributes, and characteristics of the leader.  Jeff Iorg approaches the subject from another angle.

He deals with the often-neglected aspect of leadership: the pain, the problems, and the perplexities.  In a very practical style, Jeff Iorg steers the reader into the troubled waters of leadership.  He deals with …

Book Review: Follow Me by David Platt

Follow Me is the follow-up of the widely-received and highly-acclaimed book Radical by David Platt.  With great conviction, Platt exposes the hypocrisy, frivolity, and fluff that surround modern Christianity.  He calls the church to return, or at least examine, the invitation of Christ to “Come and Follow Me.”

In Follow Me, Platt not only challenges our modern terminology (i.e., inviting Jesus into your heart), he challenges our methods and motives.  He works from the premise of Radical, which basically contends that we have tried to fit Christianity into the mold of the American Dream.  We judge “successful” ministries by the …

Book Review: Passionate Parenting by Cary Schmidt

I am about to make a pretty bold suggestion: If you are a parent, and you only have time to read one book this entire year I would greatly encourage you to read Passionate Parenting by Cary Schmidt. Pastor Schmidt was the long-time associate pastor of Paul Chappell at Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California. He is now the pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Newington, Connecticut.

Cary Schmidt has authored many other books published through Striving Together Publications, but Passionate Parenting is by far his best. His practical insight, easy-to-read style, and honest assessment about his own failures as …

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
