Should We Practice the Way with John Mark Comer?

I didn’t expect to enjoy John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way as much as I did. I had heard Comer preach a sermon against Augustine and John Calvin’s view of God’s sovereignty, affirm that God limits the power of his will so that not everything happens according to God’s control, and observed him citing positively authors like Gregory Boyd and David Bentley Hart which made me wonder at Comer’s private theological views as well. Yet for all of my negative appraisals or suspicions I had going into Practicing the Way, I found myself enjoying the book and recognizing why Comer...

Review: Providence by John Piper

Jared Harfield

“What’s at risk?” I asked the midwife, as my wife was being rushed down the hall for emergency C-Section. She was in labour and her uterus had begun to rupture. She was silent at first, but then said weakly, “Mom and baby’s life.” There I was, sitting outside the operating room, wondering if my wife and child would survive—and I wept. A tidal wave of fear and sadness came crashing over me. The medical team acted quickly and skillfully. After just a few minutes, I was given the good news that they had caught it just in time. The obstetrician...

Generations by Jean M. Twenge—Review and Reflections

Paul Carter

As the father of 5 children born between the years of 1997 and 2011 I eagerly devoured Jean Twenge’s earlier book called iGen: Why Today’s Super Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Religious, More Tolerant, Less Happy – And Completely Unprepared For Adulthood – And What That Means For The Rest Of Us. I couldn’t put it down and I read large sections of it to my wife and kids during Family Devotions. It helped us understand why our son was not as eager to get his driver’s licence as we had been. It helped us understand why most if...

The Cost of Control: A Review

Eric Heath

Life in the technologically advanced and affluent West offers its inhabitants many promises, but perhaps the most attractive is “control”. Scores of self-help books offer to teach you how to “take control of your life” (I found at least six published in the past decade with that exact title). My bank’s slogan is “Take Control Of Your Money”. Apps now allow remote control of your home’s security system, climate, and even the temperature in your freezer! Truly, it seems, we have more varied and intricate control over our world than ever before. Despite this, recent events have shown us how...

Are You “Right with God”?

Josh Tong

A few years ago, I read Michael Reeves’ wonderful book Delighting in the Trinity. It was so beautifully written and clearly explained that I included it in a list of books that a number of people in my church read together during a year-long reading challenge. We read a lot of good books that year, and yet many said that Reeves’ book was their favourite. If I would use one word to describe Reeves’ writing, it would be tender. It’s evident that he is a skilled theologian and teacher, and that he’s committed to the faithful protection and proclamation of...
