The good folks at Patheos asked me to interview the Norris Chumley, author of the new book Be Still and Know: God’s Presence in Silence. The subject of the book is controversial among evangelicals today, so I asked Chumley some tough questions. If you’re new to this blog, I’m someone who is committed to the view that Jesus of Nazareth is this world’s true Lord and the only way to salvation, that the Bible is God’s authoritative, inspired, and reliable... Read more

My friend and co-author Leonard Sweet has just come out with a masterful textbook for all who minister God’s word. It’s wonderfully titled, Giving Blood: A Fresh Paradigm for Preaching. If you are someone who preaches, teaches, or is in engaged in spoken ministry of any kind, you will benefit from this book.  As I told Len after the publisher sent a copy to me, the book is gorgeous inside and out. And it highlights two points I’ve pushed hard on... Read more

And that unspoken question is, “how are readers going to benefit from reading your book?” Michael Frost: I hope my book will benefit readers by revealing to them the extraordinarily powerful... Read more

Jason Clark writes with clarity and humor. In his new book, Prone to Love, he seeks to show the reader just how much God the Father loves His children. Jason shares his insights into God’s love from his personal experiences, all of which led him to settle the question of his identity by understanding the heart of the Father. He offsets the idea of being prone to wander by a revelation of being prone to love. His tone is casual,... Read more

Leonard Sweet’s new book is a much needed statement that redeems the idea of “play” for the Christian. Published by Tyndale, the classiest publisher I’ve ever worked with, the book is appealing both outside and inside. In it, Sweet contrasts work, particularly the addiction to work, with the spiritual value of play. According to Sweet, the “well-played life” is a life that is marked by joy.  Getting a sense of “pride” for doing work for God is an illusion. And... Read more
