I skipped August as it was so busy I didn’t manage to write the reviews of books that I read. Then I got out of the rhythm, so here’s a roundup of ten things that I read in the last three months that I think folk should read. Maybe there’ll be a Christmas present idea or two!
- A helpful blog post about becoming a father. TLDR? The first 10 years matter. Be there.
- Mike Higton’s Grove Booklet Why Doctrine Matters is a triumph. Read it. And this interview.
- I enjoyed this piece about John Boyega in GQ. TLDR? Read this, fascinating insights into race, celebrity, privilege and anger, among other things.
- Chris Wright’s Here Are Your Gods! was nearly my IVP book of the year. TLDR? Read this book if you care about faith and politics.
- Graham Tomlin’s Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea is brilliant. TLDR? Everyone should read this book.
- Jennie Pollock’s If Only is a lovely little book. TLDR? Everyone has an ‘if only…’ in their life. This book engages that well.
- Ben Jack’s My Lord and My God. TLDR? A helpful short book about evangelism and doubt.
- Tony Lane’s Sin and Grace is superb. TLDR? This is an academic book that anyone can read, about the most important things in the world.
- Not a BST, but The Message of the Book of Revelation. TLDR? Wonderfully timely older short commentary.
- Kate Bowler’s Blessed is brilliant. TLDR? This is a superb book about the prosperity gospel.
