Book Review

If you've noticed i post this blog once a month. Why you may ask? For one, it helps get me accountable. I am always convicted on how little I read (good books). Men like AL Mohler read 25 books a month. Christian Bloggers like Tim Challies reviews one book a week. Don't think for a moment that this book review blog boosts my ego. I know many many men who are much more disciplined then I.

I recently finished Biblical Eldership (my second time through); this is a good book if you want to know God's qualifications for church leaders/officers. The Reformed Pastor (by Baxter) has been one wonderful book. If you are a church leader i think this is a must read book. Baxter is very practical as well as Biblical in his presentation. What does it mean to be a faithful elder/pastor? Baxter answers this question in this wonderful book.So here is the latest update. I always enjoy hearing what you are reading so please post as well.
