46. Blaggard’s
Moon by George Bryan Polivka
A tale well told of pirates and their ships; of good and evil; of greed
and sacrifice; and of love and destiny.
Delaney, a pirate facing sure death on a post in the middle of a pond
where flesh-eating sea creatures make their home, rehearses the story in his
mind. Although novels are not my normal
choice, and stories of pirates even less so, I truly enjoyed this page-turner
as each part of the story unfolded and then came together into one.
47. The
Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler
The Explicit Gospel is
written in a fresh way explaining the straightforward gospel of Jesus. Chandler discusses what he terms the gospel
‘on the ground’ and ‘in the air,’ which is to say both the work of Christ on
the cross, and the way that event affects the entire universe. He then shows that if the way we view the
gospel is unbalanced toward either side that the outcome will be less than what
the good news really is as it relates to both a personal relationship with
Jesus, and to a global mission. Lest the
gospel be forgotten, the reader is challenged to approach daily life making it
explicit, and not simply assumed.
48. Battling
Unbelief by John Piper
I did not realize it when I bought this book; this is the compilation
of the application chapters of The
Purifying Power of Living by Faith in Future Grace. I commend Future
Grace to you over Battling Unbelief. Future
Grace gives the foundation and doctrine behind what is re-printed in Battling Unbelief. This little book encourages the reader to
fight for faith in future grace and not only look backward to past grace in the
cross as he wars against specific sin.
49. Church
Membership by Jonathan Leeman
A short little book that is bound to change your perspective of what
church membership is, and how it is practiced.
Practical, interesting, and packed with Scripture references, I enjoyed
this book, and was challenged by its content.
