General Reviews: Complete List
Not all books at the Christian bookstore deserve to be read, and some might be overlooked that should be required. But discerning which is which - both for yourself and for the people you may shepherd - becomes more difficult by the day. That's why we've compiled and reviewed a few of the most recent and influential works on the church right here. We would advise you to understand these reviews not as an excuse to let us do all the critical thinking for you, but rather as a resource to stimulate your own critical thinking, as a shepherd's crook to direct you back to Scripture, and as a guide to focus your attention on the more biblically sound materials out there.
