Story4.5 out of 5 stars 76
In this groundbreaking book David Powlison undertakes an in-depth exploration of the roots of anger, moral judgment, and righteous response by looking in a surprising place: God's own anger. Powlison reminds us that God gets angry too. He sees things in this world that aren't right and he wants justice too. But God's anger doesn't devolve into manipulation or trying to control others to get his own way. Instead his anger is good and redemptive.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
In his own day the dominant personality of the Western Church, Augustine of Hippo today stands as perhaps the greatest thinker of Christian antiquity, and his Confessions is one of the great works of Western literature. Now modern listeners will have easier access to St. Augustine's deeply personal meditations. Chadwick's lucid translation and helpful introduction clear the way for a new experience of this classic.

The Good. The Bad. The Needed Info.
Reviewed: 07-05-23
The Good. The Bad. The Needed Info. It is hip to hate America and its founders. It is not as cool and hip to understand their times, their flaws and seek to even-handedly view them and their lives. There was a lot to dislike and disavow about the men who founded this great nation. But there is a lot to admire as well. We do not do ourselves or our history well to just throw it all away. Let the reader understand and learn.

Story5 out of 5 stars 11
Can we know what Jesus was truly like during His time on earth? A first-century physician set out to gather eyewitness testimony of the life, teaching, and ministry of Jesus Christ. The result is a close-up account of a compassionate Savior on His journey to redeem His people. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul traces the record of Jesus’ life as told by Luke, the man considered by some to be one of the greatest historians of the ancient world.

Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the “citizen” is historically rare — and was among America’s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish.

This book explains where we are in 2023 and how we got here. The truth is both Republican and democrats can do bad things yet at the moment it seems concentrated to one side of the aisle. This book puts the players and helps address why truth and honesty should prevail.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61
Thomas Jefferson was arguably the most brilliant and inspiring political writer in American history. But the ethical realities of his personal life and political career did not live up to his soaring rhetoric. Indeed, three tensions defined Jefferson’s moral life: democracy versus slavery, republican virtue versus dissolute consumption, and veneration for Jesus versus skepticism about Christianity. In this book, Thomas S. Kidd tells the story of Jefferson’s ethical life through the lens of these tensions.

Many of us know and love the stories and characters of the Old Testament, such as Joseph, Moses, and Jonah. But how do we view its importance in relation to New Testament teaching and our 21st-century experiences? This accessible yet powerful addition to the Pocket Guide series draws together the threads of Scripture to help us understand the power of God's word when viewed in its completeness.

In this book, J. Gresham Machen argues that Christian faith is a “thoroughly reasonable” response - worked in the believer by the power God - to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He distinguishes between a trusting faith in Christ and a commitment to “the principles of Jesus.”
