Chesterton back from the Dead

Revisado: 07-10-20

This work has all the pith and insight of Chesterton's "Orthodoxy", with the other-worldly beauty of Lewis's "Last Battle" in regards to eschatology proper (the eternal state specifically). This review would be longer except I'm really just wanting to listen again.

Priceless Pastoral wisdom for every Christian.

Revisado: 04-25-20

Bitterness has impacted the lives and relationships of every person faced with the need to offer forgiveness. And, the profound need for fellow sinners to understand the depth of what forgiveness is, makes bitterness the bane of many a Christian's affections. This short book is purely Pastoral wisdom in a call to repent, and practical wisdom in forsaking bitterness and unforgiveness. Pastor Jim Wilson touches on specific relationships as well as indicators that this spiritual malady may be at work in your life. Ben Zornes is always an excellent narrator. I've read it twice in the last 10 hours, and I can't wait to read it again with my wife. This is becoming quite typical of Canon Press books, for me.

Excellent. A glorious introduction to the faith.

Revisado: 04-17-20

I was moved to tears multiple times in this unfolding of the "once delivered to the saints, faith." Growing up in the church, but converted at 21, I only wish I had read this 10 years ago. Can't wait to reread.

Loving your children as the Lord's Inheritance

Revisado: 04-16-20

My wife and I were raised in a form of Christianity one could call "individualistic." Repenting of this, we together saw that the Scriptural promise was to us AND OUR CHILDREN. We had not previously thought through the implications this would have (practically as well as theologically) in raising children. This book is gold, but far too short. Couple this work with, "The Federal Husband", "Future Men", "Reforming Marriage"... really anything Pastor Wilson writes on the Family, along with Joel Beeke's work on worship and raising children with the gospel, and enjoy a full, robust understanding of the covenantal family. If reforming the church is going to be anything more than a flash in the pan, we need to reform the way we raise our children.

A Desperate Need in the Church Today

Revisado: 04-07-20

Worship is a direct reflection of how we see the God we're worshipping. A true reformation of theology will be a reformation of worship. Pastor Wilson addresses this subject in a way that has completely transformed my church, and no doubt, many others. Mr. Bradley reads quite slowly which is no issue. Speeding the audio up to ×1.75 is perfect. Still giving the performance 5 stars was based on perfect Latin pronunciation. I only wish the this writing was longer and there were others like it. Favorite Pastor Wilson book yet!

Beautiful Summary of the Faith.

Revisado: 03-31-20

This short book is a perfect summary of what is often lacking in uber- Reformed circles. Everything from the introduction to the final invitation was Biblical and clear. Aaron Wells is so easy to listen to, and captures Pastor Wilson's meter very well. As is common with this author, this book was impossible to put down.

The Title says it all.

Revisado: 03-27-20

One of the key battles of recovering orthodoxy is restoring Biblical leadership in the church. This neglected qualification for leaders has touched ever church I've been apart of. Pastor Wilson handles this subject, from both the Old and New Testament, judiciously with extenuating circumstances considered. Jake McAtee is an excellent orator in every book I've heard him read. This is a must have for every pastor/ elder, and deacon... and the congregation since they are the one's voting.

The Premarital Counseling We Never Had

Revisado: 03-27-20

The title of this review is a bit facetious, yet on a serious note, if these principles are applied at the beginning, there will be no accumulated clutter. Pastor Wilson is the favorite for my wife and I when it comes to marriage, the family, and Covenantal Theology in general. The reading was consistent and clear. A perfect book to listen to together with your spouse instead of the television.

Knowledge of the Church's History: Essential

Revisado: 03-26-20

A brief summary of 2,000 years is nearly impossible. Dr. Ferguson provides the best synopsis possible, in my opinion. In a day where, especially American, Christians are so detached from any knowledge of Christ's Faithfulness to His church, this book is an excellent place for leaders and laypeople alike to begin their understanding. The orator was fantastic. I couldn't stop listening. When the book had finished, I immediately played it again. I've studied this subject in depth, and even taught church history in my congregation. For those immersed in more exhaustive works on this subject, and for people looking for where to begin, this book is a must. Psalm 110.1. HE will have Dominion.
