Book of the Month/May 2020
I was recently asked to provide a blurb for Anthony Esolen’s new book, Sex and the Unreal City. I read the manuscript enthusiastically, and sent in the blurb already, but this puts me in the unfortunate position of recommending a book to you that isn’t out yet. Soon. It will be out soon. I also …
The Actual Point
“The preacher’s purpose is directed first of all towards God. He preaches in order that God may be glorified. The very act of declaring the Gospel is a praising and exalting of God in his mighty acts.”
Parker, Calvin’s Preaching, p. 46
Grace Upon Grace
Nancy and I are currently living with my father, Jim Wilson, who is 92-years-old. After many years of fruitful ministry — teaching, writing, and evangelism — a number of years ago my father asked me what I thought he should do with the rest of his time.

The Silent Bells
Not to take anything away from the previous announcement of a new book, here is another one, uniquely delivered.

But since that limited interest group is made up of writers and would-be writers, and because everybody in that group is a sucker for books about books, and books about how to write them, I thought it would be worthwhile to tell …
Book of the Month/March 2020
First, apologies for the late book of the month announcement. Things have been hopping around here. This month, I have selected Age of Entitlement by Christopher Caldwell. The subtitle is America Since the Sixties, and if you are among those who have been wondering what on earth actually happened to us, this book will answer …
Book of the Month/January 2020
I just finished The Winter King by Christine Cohen, and really enjoyed it. I have selected it as my choice for book of the month in the hope that you will also (start and) finish it, and enjoy it as much as I did. The book is written for kids, and the challenging aspects of …
Book of the Month/December 2019
We live in demented times, and proofs of this assertion can be found by pointing in pretty much any and every direction. One of those proofs is the fact that I am able to select as my book of the month a book written by an open homosexual, and with the topic of the book …
