The Sacrifice of Praise
Herman Bavinck is one of my favourite theologians of all time. He’s probably most well-known for his Reformed Dogmatics, which have been translated pretty recently making the wisdom of Bavinck available for a new English-speaking generation. The Dutch Reformed Theologian is often seen in a more academic light, most often on the shelves of pastors […]

Richard Dawkins, C. S. Lewis and the Meaning of Life
There is no one better suited to write a book on Richard Dawkins and C. S. Lewis, two prominent Oxford academics, than Alister McGrath, an Oxford academic himself who has written multiple works on both men. In “Richard Dawkins, C. S. Lewis and the Meaning of Life” McGrath briefly presents views and reflections from Lewis […]

Bible Review: ESV Prayer Bible
The ESV Prayer Bible from Crossway publishers has quickly become one of my favourite Bibles. It’s not a study Bible per se. By this I mean it does not contain verse-by-verse study notes or long essays. What it does contain is many prayers throughout the scriptures by insightful men and women of God. From the […]

Book Review: Mere Calvinism
“Mere Calvinism” by Jim Scott Orrick is another book on the doctrines of grace as summed up in the acronym TULIP. Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, and Perseverance of the saints make up what are commonly referred to as the 5 points of Calvinism. Many Calvinists, including Orrick occasionally prefer different or more precise […]

Book Review: Learning Biblical Hebrew
I was both intimidated and excited to pick up “Learning Biblical Hebrew: Reading for Comprehension: an Introductory Grammar” by Karl V. Kutz and Rebekah L. Josberger. Their bios are on the back of the book as follows: Karl V. Kutz (Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison) is professor of biblical languages at Multnomah University in Portland, OR. […]

Book Review: Faith is for Weak People
Ray Comfort is a fairly well-known name among Christians, particularly those Christians who spend a significant amount of time on Youtube. He’s authored multiple books and tracts, but I think he is best known for his videos where he engages unbelievers of all sorts in order to share the gospel. This, I believe, gives him […]

Book Review: Sex, Purity, and the Longings of a Girl’s Heart
One of the biggest struggles of the Christian walk is sexual sin and temptation. Whether it’s masturbation, pornography, erotica, sexual fantasies, homosexual desires, just about everyone struggles with sexual sin in some form, including women. For a lot of people, lust is a “guy issue” which is why a lot of content on fighting sexual […]

Book Review: Humble Calvinism
If you’ve ever met a Calvinist, you’re probably thinking that “Humble Calvinism” sounds like an oxymoron. If you’re thinking this to yourself, you probably understand exactly why a book on humble Calvinism is necessary. In his book “Humble Calvinism” J. A. Medders explains not only why humble Calvinism is not contradictory, but that the doctrines […]
