Book Reviews

Below are some outstanding books I have reviewed here on E2R. Clicking on a cover will take you to the relevant post…

Recommendations

I am often asked to recommend books to those who are new to the gospel of grace. I recommend all of the books above, but if you’re in a hurry, start with these:

Destined to Reign, Grace – The Power of the Gospel, Grace Walk, and The Naked Gospel

Here’s a list of the best books I have read (so far) on the following topics:

God’s unchanging character: The True Nature of God
God’s will for your life: Walking in the Will of God
Healing: God Wants You Well
Identity – your new one: God’s Astounding Opinion of You
The new covenant: The Lost Secret of the New Covenant
Overcoming sin: Lifetime Guarantee
Prayer: A Better Way to Pray
Predestination: God Without Religion
Spiritual warfare: You’ve Already Got It
Supernatural life: When Heaven Invades Earth

Note to Authors

Please do not ask me to review your books. I can’t cope with all the requests I’m getting and it’s difficult to provide unbiased reviews when you’re doing favors for authors.

Note to Publishers

By all means send me any new grace books you have coming through. I love free books! But understand that I can make no promises about reviewing them. I already have a growing pile of unread books on my desk. Please also understand that I am on the editorial review boards of several academic journals and I have PhD students to supervise. In a typical week I am asked to review several journal papers (50 pages each) and dissertation drafts (100s of pages!).

  1. Have you read “Silent Killers of Faith: Overcoming legalism and performanced based religion” by Stephen Crosby?

  2. Thanks for the list and the reviews.
    I was wondering if you have viewed some of Steve McVey’s more progressive thoughts that he has given in a couple of interviews with a group known as Grace Communion International. You should check them out. He talks about two major shifts in his theology, including his last shift about six years ago away from penal substitution and toward a more Trinitarian Perspective.

  3. Hi, Paul, might I ask what you think of Rick Warren’s best-seller, “The Purpose Driven Life”? I am sure you have heard of it, and might have read it a bit. I would love to hear your thoughts about the book.

    THANKS. -tacticianjenro
