Anybody who's paid attention to the happenings in the Christian church throughout the past few decades cannot help but notice the advent the megachurch, what are often popularly termed "seeker-sensitive" churches.

Book Review: All of Grace – By C.H. Spurgeon
All of Grace was the first book of Spurgeon's which I ever. I read it once a few years ago and found it to be wonderful, I've recently read it again and found it to be just as wonderful, touching and relevant as the first time I read it.

Book Review: The Meaning of It All – By Richard P. Feynman
Every now and then I browse for a book to read outside my normal discipline, and this was the one I chose for my quarterly dose of science.

While science … Continue reading Book Review: The Meaning of It All – By Richard P. Feynman

During the early Twentieth Century four of the biggest writers were H.G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, Hilaire Belloc and … Continue reading Book Review: The Everlasting Man – By G.K. Chesterton
Book Review: The Consolation of Philosophy – By Boethius
It seems to be a trend in history that the most moving texts are written in prison while awaiting execution and Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy - written in 524A.D. - is no exception. The book is both a narrative and a work of philosophy. The narrative begins with the author being attended to by … Continue reading Book Review: The Consolation of Philosophy – By Boethius
Book Review: The Knowledge of the Holy – By A.W. Tozer
AW. Tozer is what one might call a classic author within Christianity; he's one of those individuals which many Christians can recognize along with C.S. Lewis and Oswald Chambers.

The first time I read through Tozer's works three or four years … Continue reading Book Review: The Knowledge of the Holy – By A.W. Tozer
Book Review: The Certainty of Faith – By Herman Bavinck
As Bavinck says in his second chapter: "When our highest interests, our eternal weal or woe is at stake, we must be satisfied with nothing less than infallible, divine certainty. There must be no room for doubt." The title of this book, The Certainty of Faith, seemingly has two different connotations. At a glance, the … Continue reading Book Review: The Certainty of Faith – By Herman Bavinck
