Sproul outlines six major differences between the Roman Catholic Church and the Reformation, emphasizing that these are not minor issues that can easily be overlooked. On the contrary, they are significant matters that lie at the foundation of Christianity. This makes it an excellent primer for Christians interested in exploring these differences.

Way to lay on the guilt, StoryGraph. Yes, I‘m aware it‘s been on my To-Read since December 2007 when I purchased a copy for 50p on a snowy evening in Edinburgh. What StoryGraph doesn‘t know is that this isn‘t the book that‘s been on my TBR the longest, it‘s just the one that goes farthest back in my Goodreads TBR. Someday. Someday it will be read!

I read this with my Education for Ministry group in December, and it was SUCH a rich book for discussion. The author presents her work as an intro to trans theology, but takes care to note that she‘s writing from outside—as an ally (and mother of a trans son) rather than as a trans person. This was a great introduction to the ways non-binary thinking can open up our perspective of who God is: “the God who is one and three, but never two.”

willaful Interesting! 2mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This isn‘t an easy book to read.It is classic C.S. Lewis nonfiction: a strong mix of philosophy, science, dry humor, and faith.I'm glad I read this with a group because if I had been reading it on my own, I would not have continued to fight my way through to understanding. That being said, I love the way Lewis constructs an argument. He will win me over with his logical reasoning every time.You'll have to work for it, but I recommend it.

This title is "Included in Premium" on Spotify, so I listened while driving. The subtitle sums up the book, examining the practices of the modern charismatic movement through the lens of Scripture. The narrator, Maurice England, was an excellent choice. Quoted in the appendix, Spurgeon reminds us: "The work of the Holy Spirit, by which men are quickened from their death in sin, is not inferior to the power which made men speak with tongues.”

“I was compelled to leave the room. A deep, undeniable summons disturbed my sleep; something holy called me.” - RC Sproul #whatsnottolike #greatbeginnings #amreading #currentlyreading - My daughter and her ex got this book (a wonderful collection, actually) for my husband and me for Christmas. I read chapter one and can‘t wait to see what‘s next.

This was my gift from the local church. It passed the censors by being an unimaginative tattoo of the idea that "the Messiah is among you. Choose to make each moment holy." That's not how it works. Nobody cares. I am evil but I could choose to be good. So what? Tell me a story, like... The Five People (YMiH). Give me a vision of how life might work and how my choices affect things. This is a common flaw in "inspirational" literature. No story.
