Learning to Love the Psalms [Robert Godfrey]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

What is it about the Psalms that makes them so powerful and timeless? Psalm 1, 23, 51 and others have lodged themselves in my mind and spoken to me deeply. Yet to be honest, I’ve also failed to appreciate many Psalms because they seemed confusing, foreign, or irrelevant. Here lies an enigma: […]

Knowing God [J.I. Packer]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

Most of my reviews in this column introduce new or recent books. But the true test of a book’s value is whether it can stand the test of time. This month, we look back at Knowing God, a Christian classic written 50 years ago by the late theologian J. I. Packer. […]

Just Do Something [Kevin DeYoung]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

Write a book on finding God’s will and the church will beat a path to your door. We all know the struggle: choosing a job, a church, a spouse - if only God would show us His plans so we never make a misstep! Unintentionally, however, fear of missteps can paralyze us […]

Israel and the Church [Amir Tsarfati]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

The October 7th Hamas attack catapulted Israel to front page news and worldwide sympathy. Seven months later, as war in Gaza rages on, the tide of public opinion seems to be turning toward Hamas. As this issue becomes more polarized—even among Christians—it highlights our need for a biblical perspective on Israel. Some […]

In the Name of "Mission Work"

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

The past five years have brought no shortage of abuse scandals to light. For Christian Aid Ministries, that day of reckoning came in 2019 when news of Jeriah Mast’s predatory abuse surfaced. Today, Jeriah Mast is serving a prison sentence for some of the abuse he committed in the United States. However, […]

Gentle and Lowly [Dane Ortlund]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

When studying our Savior, we often focus on his person and work—his life as the sinless God-man, his earthly ministry, his death and resurrection—but how often do we consider his heart? It’s the difference between asking “what did Christ do?” and “why did he do it?” In Gentle and Lowly, Dane Ortlund […]

Gender Ideology: What do Christians Need to Know [Sharon James]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

As our culture continues abandons its moral moorings, each year brings new and longer lists of preferred pronouns, gender identities, and sexual preferences to choose from. Gender Ideology: What do Christians Need to Know? by Sharon James helps Christians understand and respond to the changing tide. James acknowledges that […]

Five Lies of our Anti-Christian Age [Rosaria Butterfield]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

This month we’re looking at “Five Lies of our Anti-Christian Age,” by Rosaria Butterfield. No doubt many readers are already familiar with Butterfield, the former lesbian activist and tenured professor, now an author, pastor’s wife, and homeschool mom. (For those who are interested, she recounted her powerful story of coming to faith […]

Fight Like a Man [Emeal Zwayne]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

The epidemic of Christians consuming pornography is one of the defining failures of our time. While lust has always been a besetting sin, the convergence of smartphones, the internet, and the ethics of the sexual revolution have created a perfect storm. Over the years, I’ve reviewed a number of good books addressing […]

Fault Lines [Voddie Baucham]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

Along with reviewing Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice earlier this year, I’ve been reading a number of books related to Social Justice and Critical Race Theory. This month, we look at Fault Lines, a recent book by Voddie Baucham. For those unfamiliar, Voddie Baucham is a pastor, […]

Encountering God Through Expository Preaching [Jim Scott, ...]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

Think of a time when you have experienced the power and presence of God. (Perhaps a time of prayer, or singing, or solitude in nature.) Often, however, we experience God through his Word – and specifically the preached Word. Have you ever asked yourself, “How did the preacher know I needed to […]

Disappearing Church [Mark Sayers]

by Bryce Wenger / August 14, 2025

Christianity laid the foundation of Western society, but cultural shifts have left the church looking more like an eccentric great-uncle: outdated, embarrassing, and unacceptable. In Disappearing Church, Mark Sayers chronicles the church’s many attempts to regain popularity and prominence, but also explains why they won’t work. Sayers challenges us to strive for […]
