Here were the books I reviewed in the month of June.
Book Review: China's Reforming Churches (editor Bruce Baugus)
CRC is a refined and helpful volume that is best suited for the classroom, pastors and interested laymen. Those seeking a specialized look at the church of China and the past, present and future roles of the Presbyterian church should look no further than China’s Reforming Churches.
Walking Amongst His People
How is the church suppose to look at laws about excrement? How does this even get close to the borders of relevancy for the modern day Christian?
Book Review: Perspectives on Your Child's Education (editor Timothy Paul Jones)
But each of these Godly men demonstrated that a Godly and Biblical worldview could be accomplished through these administrations. Perspectives is a valuable volume that brings to light the need for Christian education and challenging ideas for the future education of the church.
Book Review: The NIV Teen Study Bible
As I disagree with each of these perspectives, I would not consider placing the TSB before my children just for the practical application to teenage life.
True Confessions
A People’s History contains important and challenging insights alongside thoughtful, probing application for the church’s future making this volume, and series, a must read.
Book Review: Grassroots Asian Theology by Simon Chan
Chan provides challenging insights for Catholics and Reformed Protestants alike. Grassroots is valuable reading for those seeking to understand or minister to the church in Asia. Laymen, pastors and students alike will find the discussion on “how theology ought to be done” (8) refreshing and challenging.
Book Review: Titus For You by Tim Chester
Working through Titus, a so-called “pastoral epistle”, Chester provides insights to “a life that touches people in small but decisive ways” (9).
