 | The Scandal of the Evangelical MindAuthor: Mark A. NollBinding: Paperback List price: $22.00 USD Amazon price: $14.96 USD |
Book Description
“The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind.” So begins this award-winning intellectual history and critique of the evangelical movement by one of evangelicalism’s most respected historians.
Unsparing in his judgment, Mark Noll ask why the largest single group of religious Americans—who enjoy increasing wealth, status, and political influence—have contributed so little to rigorous intellectual scholarship in North America. In nourishing believers in the simple truths of the gospel, why have evangelicals failed at sustaining a serious intellectual life and abandoned the universities, the arts, and other realms of “high” culture?

 | Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the WorldAuthor: John MacArthurBinding: Paperback List price: $14.99 USD Amazon price: $10.19 USD |
Reviewer: Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA)
At the end of his long and distinguished career, the famous British preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) found himself locked in a battle with the Baptist Union over its decreasing attachment to scripture, and increasing acceptance of error and sin. And now, more than one hundred years later, Dr. John MacArthur, of Grace Community Church and the Grace to You radio ministry, finds himself being forced into the same battle against scriptural infidelity and pragmatism in the American Evangelical church. With piercing analysis and voluminous use of scripture, he attacks this not-altogether new trend in the Evangelical church.

 | Prophetic Untimeliness: A Challenge to the Idol of RelevanceAuthor: Os GuinnessBinding: Hardcover List price: $16.99 USD |
From the Back Cover
An immensely thoughtful and provocative book, challenging some trends in our Christian culture and inviting us to reconsider and rediscover. A powerful read. --Alister McGrath
Prophetic Untimeliness brings a timely warning. The temptation to dress the faith in today�s fashion guarantees that it will look out-of-style tomorrow only the eternal can reach every time and culture. --Frederica Mathewes-Green
Never have Christians tried to be so relevant. But never have Christians ended up so irrelevant. How can this be? The problem, says Os Guinness, is that our views of relevance and our efforts to redefine ourselves are captive to the seductions and pressures of our modern clock culture. Ironically, we end up as neither relevant nor faithful. And in the process we are in danger of losing not only our identity but our authority, our significance, and even our very soul.

 | Why Revival TarriesAuthor: Leonard RavenhillBinding: Paperback List price: $12.99 USD Amazon price: $10.39 USD |
Book Description
Leonard Ravenhill's call to revival is as timely now as it was when first published over forty years ago. The message is fearless and often radical as he expounds on the disparity between the New Testament church and the church today. Why Revival Tarries contains the heart of his message. A.W. Tozer called Ravenhill "a man sent from God" who "appeared at [a] critical moment in history," just as the Old Testament prophets did. Included are questions for group and individual study. Ravi Zacharias refers to this as "the book that shaped me...more dramatically than any other..."

 | Letters Along the Way: A Novel of the Christian LifeAuthor: D. A. Carson,John D. WoodbridgeBinding: Paperback List price: $17.99 USD Amazon price: $17.99 USD |
Reviewer: Parableman (Syracuse, New York USA) - See all my reviews
Carson and Woodbridge have done an excellent job telling the story of a man's life from a conversion to Christianity in college until he is mature and serving as a Presbyterian minister later in life. The struggles he deals with, both spiritually and intellectually, become focal points for the authors to share their own insights as professors in one of the foremost evangelical seminaries of our time (and at least Carson was once a pastor also). The story is told in the form of letters from a seminary professor who had been a friend of the main character's father, and the relationship continues and deepens over the years.

 | Hard Questions, Real AnswersAuthor: William Lane CraigBinding: Paperback List price: $15.99 USD Amazon price: $10.87 USD |
With 2 Ph.D.'s in his hip pocket and many scholarly writings to his name, William Lane Craig could go through life as a pompous ivory tower dweller. Instead, Craig has made himself available to the common man. From the information he provided Strobel in his layperson works to works like Hard Questions, Craig is understandable for any Christian willing to hear. This is a simple, 8-chapter book that hits issues like doubt, unanswerer prayer, and suffering and evil that would be a benefit to anyone struggling with these issues. The book is not meant to be comprehensive, and certainly with only 8 topics, there is much left out of the book.
