On Bread and Wine

Posted on 04/21/2013 | Leave a comment

So, I normally read really good writers. John Piper, Russell Moore, C.S. Lewis. As such, I’m always a little wary about reading new authors, and sometimes even different genres. Mainly because these authors captivate me. Whether it be Piper’s solid Theology, Lewis’s brilliant prose, or Moore’s seeming merging of the two.

The Hole in Our Holiness

Posted on 09/18/2012 | Leave a comment

It’s not often that I come across a book that would be classified as “Christian Living” that takes my breath away. Kevin DeYoung’s latest book, The Hole in Our Holiness: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness, is definitely one of those books. The Hole in Our Holiness is captivating, convicting, and encouraging at the same time. And when John Piper described this book as “ruthlessly Biblical,” he wasn’t kidding.
