The Novare Cul de Sac
Book of the Month/June 2021
I am happy to commend this book, and to do so enthusiastically. It has one great strength and, as is often the case with such things, it happens to be the same thing as its greatest weakness. The theology is really solid, the thinking clear, and the writing is lucid and straight to the point. …
Book of the Month/May 2021
So I was hearing really good rumbles about this book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, from a number of people I respect, and so I made a note to myself that I probably ought to do something about it. You know? I had only read one other book by Trueman ten years …

Book of the Month/February 2021
David Wenkel wrote a first rate book, entitled Shining Like the Sun, and I really enjoyed it, but I have no desire to drag him into a controversy that he was not actually participating in. And yet, at the same time, this book is most relevant to us during this time when churches are being …
Book of the Month/January 2021
This is a fantastic book, and let me tell you a little bit about some of sensations I had inside my bone box while reading it. I think I have only had a parallel experience one other time, that time being when I read Planet Narnia. Take a set of books that I have been …
