Why read Christian Books?
Study to show thyself approved unto God...
Monday, 20 November 2006 at 20:30 GMT, by SiteAdmin
Christian books written by godly men are an encouragement to believers across the world. For some, these books, secondary as they are to the study of God's Word (which must necessarily supersede any man-made creation), shed a clearer light on the Scriptures, and enable a better understanding of some of the great doctrinal truths contained in Holy Scripture.
Christian books are merely a study aid, a tool with which to divest God's Word of its' truths and applications to man. With the rise of modernism, liberalism and the Charismatic movement, the book market has been flooded with erroneous and even dangerous books reflecting the writings of fallen man. At best, these books are devoid of God's blessing and possess little meat- and at worst, such books can be downright blasphemous and injurious to the cause of Christ. These 'tools' are not fit for purpose, and it is the aim of this site to separate the 'wheat from the chaff'.
Book reviews are not difficult to write. When you read a Christian book, the least you can do is make a few comments on style and content, and even what it has done for you. Click here to get some helpful tips in recording your thoughts and reviews on this website.

Puritan Reformed Spirituality
Joel R. Beeke

I was particularly interested to revisit Puritan teachings when i bought this book, and was pleasantly rewarded with a fresh view of God's teaching regarding our own individual Spirituality.
This book reinforces, by looking at the reformers in the historical context and their application of biblical truths, the absolute centrality of the Bible in the Christian life, the necessity of God’s provided means of grace, and personal holiness from a proper understanding of God and what He has done for us in Christ.
In this wonderful book we meet John Calvin, reformer extraordinaire; then we encounter the learned Dr. William Ames and the insightful Anthony Burgess. Others include John Brown of Haddington, the great Thomas Boston, and the remarkable brothers, Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine. I for one had never heard of some of these great men, but by their lives and teachings it is clear that we have some way to go if we are to get back to the Puritan ideal - purely biblical Christianity.
I am a pastor of a Baptist church, and I have recommended this book from my pulpit. I believe this demonstrates the high regard I have for this fine compendium, and i would encourage all with a view to investing their time in the study of Puritanical teaching to avail themselves of this book.
