“The Care of Souls by Harold L. Senkbeil” and “Pastoral Leadership by Harold L. Senkbeil and Lucas V. Woodford”
Every pastor who has served 50 years in ministry should be legally compelled to write a book. After so many years of faithful service to the Lord, they should be designated a national treasure. That’s my conclusion after reading today’s books. Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for Reading and Readers, a...
One Year Old!
Reading and Readers is officially one year old! Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for Reading and Readers, a podcast where I review Christian books for you. Just not today. Today is a special episode where we celebrate the baby steps of this podcast. On the 19th of April 2021, I launched...
The Possibility of Prayer: Finding Stillness with God in a Restless World by John Starke
I’m recording this 2 hours before I am supposed to publish. It’s been a busy week. Lots of deadlines, lots of work. My to-do list looks more like a wish list. Is it possible for busy busy Christians to have a vibrant prayer life? Or is that only for monks in monasteries of the past?...
“Short Prayers to Change Your Life” & “Timeless Hymns for Family Worship”
Prayers don’t have to be long. We can learn and grow from the short prayers of the saints. Hymns don’t have to be boring. Hymns can be timeless and enriching moments even for the youngest of Christians, dare I say, especially for the youngest of Christians. Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host...
Redeeming Our Thinking About History by Vern S. Poythress
The Russian invasion of Ukraine echoes the German invasion of Europe 80 years ago. Both Putin and Hitler recite history to justify the war. When a holocaust memorial was damaged in an airstrike, President Zelensky tweeted: “What is the point of saying ‘never again’ for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb...
Finding the Right Hills to Die On by Gavin Ortlund
A man walks into the ICU saying, “Help me, I can’t breathe”. A little girl walks in at the same time saying, “Help me, I have a splinter in my finger.” The nurse rushes the girl with the splinter into surgery but tells the man who can’t breathe to wait in the lobby. You ask...
God, Technology and the Christian Life by Tony Reinke
Have you seen this meme before? The first picture is a boy with polio, followed by a picture of scientists working hard in a lab, and concludes with “Science cures polio”. Next, we have the same picture of the boy with polio. But this time followed by a group of people praying on their knees...
Alive: A Cold-Case Approach to the Resurrection by J. Warner Wallace
“Surely you don’t believe that the best explanation for an empty tomb is a resurrection. There must be tonnes of other far more reasonable explanations for that.” Really? Well, I’ve got a cold case detective who says otherwise. Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for Reading and Readers, a podcast where I...
Local Church: What It Is and Why It Matters by Edward W. Klink III
Hymn books give way to Powerpoint slides. Church organs to electric guitars. Offering bags to online transfers. Local churches to bible study groups, online communities, the metaverse? Is an insistence on local churches simply a clinging on to an outmoded way of the Christian life? Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for...
Sunsets: Reflections on Life’s Final Journey by Deborah Howard
It’s the beginning of the new year. Places to go. People to meet. Books to read. And what better way to start the year than to read a book titled Sunrises: Reflections on the New Year Ahead. Oh wait… It’s titled Sunsets: Reflection on Life’s Final Journey. Wait a minute, this is about death? Who...
Revelation and the End of All Things by Craig R. Koester
A good advice in life is to “Begin with the End in Mind”. If you know where you are heading, you’ll know what you are doing. If you agree, then today’s book review is for you. Hi, my name is Terence and I’m your host for Reading and Readers, a podcast where I review Christian...
