A must read

Revisado: 07-21-24

Preston approaches this topic the way literally everyone should. That is not just a topic, but the real lives of real people. He approaches this humbly and even invites the reader to disagree with him where he may be wrong. He simultaneously calls out the Christians who use divisive topics to mask their own shortcomings. Overall the book was both convicting and refreshing. This will be at the top of my recommendations for anyone who seeks to explore this topic in the church.

Props for creativity

Revisado: 04-01-24

This is going to be a huge help in the way I am able to describe ancient heresies with my church. The creative element behind this has shifted this kind of scholarly work to become incredibly accessible.

Essential Listening for the American Church

Revisado: 08-21-22

Hearing the gospel perspective from others outside of your socio-economic and ethnic circles brings a brand new beauty to the work of Christ and what it means to be made in the image of God.

Necessary reading

Revisado: 05-12-22

This book has done much to shape my eschatology. This is a must read for every Christian. It is formative in its teachings of the “so what?” of Christianity.

Very good read

Revisado: 04-19-22

I appreciate John Walton and while I don’t agree with everything he put forth in this book he did help me to think in ways that can better shape my theology.

A Must Read

Revisado: 01-07-22

I wish I would have read this earlier in my ministry. I would have saved a lot of money on therapy. This is a must read for anyone in, or interested in, ministry.

One of the most helpful books I’ve read

Revisado: 08-13-21

Caleb brings so much clarity to aspects of church leadership, and frankly, to simply being good Christians and people. I particularly loved chapter 5 and the issue of when exactly someone is allowed to “belong”. I highly recommend this book. Even if you are not actively engaged with anyone in the LGBTQ culture, the principles will help in a multitude of areas in your life.

Heartbreaking and hopeful

Revisado: 07-16-21

This book is wildly thought provoking and has me totally viewing the theology around homosexuality in a brand new light. I have a lot of work to do, but I’m grateful for Justin’s work to show me that. I may not change my views, but I will at least have more empathy toward anyone around me who is gay. Justin also does a wonderful job narrating the book giving life and difference to each person who enters his story.

Mostly good

Revisado: 06-26-21

I honestly did enjoy this book. I understand what Scot came out of with Willow Creek because I came out of something very similar. While there is loads of good content, such as the desire for empowering people to see all people simply as image bearers, I also see what concerns me to possibly be throwing out the baby with the bath water. I think there are many things he warns against that can be good. So I say read this book and read it with an open mind. There are many different churches because the body of Christ is full of unique individuals who will reach people uniquely. I do not believe there is a one size fits all approach for the church. Other than, as Scot concludes, Christ-likeness.

A Must Read

Revisado: 03-19-21

The ability of Mark to address the skeptic and devout Christian at the same time is unparalleled. He writes as an academic, but also as a friend. This book is challenging and formative and I highly recommend to anyone who has even a remote interest in the story of Jesus.
