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!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A helpful blog post about becoming a father<\/a>. TLDR? The first 10 years matter. Be there.<\/li>\n
  2. Mike Higton’s Grove Booklet\u00a0Why Doctrine Matters<\/em><\/a> is a triumph. Read it. And this interview<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. I enjoyed this piece about John Boyega in GQ<\/a>. TLDR? Read this, fascinating insights into race, celebrity, privilege and anger, among other things.<\/li>\n
  4. Chris Wright’s\u00a0Here Are Your Gods!<\/em><\/a> was nearly my IVP book of the year. TLDR? Read this book if you care about faith and politics.<\/li>\n
  5. Graham Tomlin’s\u00a0Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea<\/em><\/a> is brilliant. TLDR? Everyone should read this book.<\/li>\n
  6. Jennie Pollock’s\u00a0If Only<\/em><\/a> is a lovely little book. TLDR? Everyone has an ‘if only…’ in their life. This book engages that well.<\/li>\n
  7. Ben Jack’s\u00a0My Lord and My God<\/em><\/a>. TLDR? A helpful short book about evangelism and doubt.<\/li>\n
  8. Tony Lane’s\u00a0Sin and Grace<\/em><\/a> is superb. TLDR? This is an academic book that anyone can read, about the most important things in the world.<\/li>\n
  9. Not a BST, but\u00a0The Message of the Book of Revelation<\/em><\/a>. TLDR? Wonderfully timely older short commentary.<\/li>\n
  10. Kate Bowler’s\u00a0Blessed<\/em><\/a> is brilliant. TLDR? This is a superb book about the prosperity gospel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
