We intend to link to as many reviews and comments about this book as possible. Today, Pastoral Musings wrote:
Having enjoyed Warnock’s blog, I felt sure that I would enjoy his book. Little did I know that treat that I was in for. Not only does he quote from Piper, MacArthur, and J.I. Packer, but the ghosts of the apostles, Puritans, Jonathan Edwards, and especially that of Lloyd-Jones walk through the pages of Raised With Christ.

Emphasis is put on the Cross and no mention, in Bebbington’s summary at least, to the resurrection . . . READ MORE

What makes Adrian’s book both challenging and a unique contribution to the evangelical community, is that it wrestles with what this actually means to us as we live out our daily lives. . .READ MORE
