Book Review: Climbing the Dragon's Ladder
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | January 31, 2008
In a time when wealth and prosperity are more welcomed than the cost of discipleship, Climbing the Dragon's Ladder is a timely historical novel. No greater identification can be made about the cost involved in persevering as a Christian than identifying with a martyr such as Perpetua. Andrea Lorenzo Molinari, president of Blessed Edmund Rice [...]

By: Megan Greulich | October 31, 2007
Imagine yourself a teenage girl, strolling through your local Christian book store, when a small book that sounds too good to be true catches your eye. Someone actually wrote a book that claims to expose the workings of teenage guys? “It’s the inside scoop you’ve been waiting for! You’ll come to not [...]
A Forgotten Pioneer: Julia Kavanaugh's Women of Christianity
By: James Smith III | September 1, 2007
Julia Kavanaugh, an Irish Roman Catholic, was a Victorian novelist and biographer. Her book "Women of Christianity" offers the earliest survey of women’s lives in the Christian tradition. This text refutes the frequent charge of trendiness of egalitarianism, as it was written 150 years ago. It confronts male-dominated history (“great events, dazzling actions”) as pagan [...]

By: Christiane Carlson-Theis | April 30, 2007
Carrie Miles' well-written book should be read by all who cherish the institution of marriage and wish to understand (and stem) its decline.

Using the tools of socioeconomic analysis, her book [...]

By: David M. Scholer | April 30, 2007
Del Birkey, an independent scholar and author of The House Church: A Model for Renewing the Church (Scottdale, Pa.: Herald Press, 1988), has written a passionate, wide-ranging, and interesting book on the harmful power of patriarchy and its critique by Jesus and the apostles, representing the biblical truth of gender equality.
Book Review: Kari Torjesen Malcom's Building Your Family to Last
By: Kelvin Belfon | January 31, 2007
In July 2006, I welcomed the reprinting of this marriage classic. Kari Torjesen Malcolm is an expert on the subject of marriage and family. Born of a Norwegian missionary couple in China, Malcolm later served as a missionary to the Philippines for fifteen years with her husband and two children. Building Your Family to Last was [...]
Book Review: The TNIV Study Bible
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | January 30, 2007
I recommend highly the Zondervan TNIV Study Bible because it contains a gender-inclusive evangelical text with extensive notes and aids.
Book Review: Coming of Age: Exploring the Identity and Spirituality of Younger Men
By: Craighton Hippenhammer | December 5, 2006
Coming of Age is a result of the Young Male Spirituality Project, a joint effort of Lutheran Men in Mission, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Luther Seminary (St. Paul, Minn.) to find out why young men are staying away from the church in droves, a pattern that surveys are showing is increasingly alarming.
Book Review: Discovering Biblical Equality: Complementarity Without Hierarchy
By: Royce Gordon Gruenler | June 30, 2006
This volume truly represents a landmark in the reclamation of a good word, "complementarity," from its misuse by the equal-but-unequal school of thought. A formidable collage of scholars with complementary gifts of the Spirit have contributed to a book which is sure to become a primary textbook and resource in the Christian circles of church [...]
