One of the best things about ebook readers is the ability to sample smaller independent authors, or in this case an established author that does not have a book contract in the United States. Douglas Anthony Cooper is a writer originally from Canada, who lived for a while in New York City but now lives in Mexico. … Read more
I was originally introduced to EM Bounds by Lyle Dorsett when I was a student at Wheaton College. Dorsett spoke to a summer missions group that I was a part of and suggested we read several books. One of those books was Power in Prayer by EM Bounds. I really do not remember much from … Read more
This is the second of Scott Nicolson’s books I have read (my review of Skull Ring). The Red Church is a similarly creepy book. The story centers around a red church that has been abandoned. The rural community says it is haunted by the ghost of a preacher that was hung by his congregation for … Read more
I have followed the debate over the Emerging church for quite a while. In general I have agreed with many of the criticisms that the Emerging church has had with the traditional church, but I have not always agreed with the resulting prescriptions of where to go after the criticism.

The Hole in our Gospel and related search strings are consistently one of the top books that bring people to this blog. And Monday May, 31, 2010 is the last day that christianaudio.com is giving away the audio version free. So I thought I would link to two blogs I trust for second opinions. First here … Read more
I posted a book review over at ChurchCrunch. Here is the start of the review: Twitter is ubiquitous. Now it is even a format for books ideas. It seems odd, but as far as I can tell (in my very brief amount of searching) this is the first book made up mostly of a curated twitter stream. … Read more
Agatha Christie’s The Body in the Library was offered free on kindle very briefly a few weeks ago. So briefly that I assume it was a pricing mistake, not a promotional offer. But I thought it was a good book to be my first full book on my ipad. I have blogged about the ipad … Read more
