I heard a lot of hype about ‘Manly Dominion’, but was excepting just another book written to Christian men, going over the passages we have all considered and strive to live up to as Christians; I was surprised. Chanski does go over Biblical truths most men know (and a lot that’s not so well known), [...]

Reformation Day Giveaway!!!
I am super excited to be able to give away this fantastic DVD ‘Amazing Grace- the history and theology of Calvinism’. This is perhaps the best DVD explaining theology I have every come across. History and theology can be tough to explain, and putting a guy on a dvd lecturing it doesn’t make it much [...]

Book Review of: The Power of Integrity
It’s been a while since I picked up a book by John MacArthur, and I am glad I picked up this one. ‘The Power of Integrity’ is a short book, some 158 pages of reading, it is devotional in tone, light in reading, convicting in quality and encouraging in nature. What I love about MacArthur’s [...]

Book Review: Histories and Fallacies
Histories and Fallacies is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time, partly due to the topic, which is not really one relating directly to my task as a Pastor and Theologian, so it was really outside my normal milieu of reading. Histories and Fallacies is a book about the [...]

Book Review: Singing and making Music
I have read my fair share of books on ‘worship music’ and music in general within the Christian sphere, many of them are written arrogantly, reflect bad scholarship and a weak understanding of music (everyone thinks they are an expert when it comes to music), it is because of these things that ‘Singing and Making [...]

Book Review: City on a Hill
City on a Hill, is a book in which Ryken sets out to simply explain what the Biblical pattern for a Christian church should be. There are three major areas of emphasis: proclamation, worship and reaching out which form the skeletal structure of the book. Ryken does a good job of expanding those three subjects [...]

Book Review: Christ of the Covenants
‘Christ of the Covenants’ is a great book for someone who has a very basic knowledge of covenant theology, but is looking for a somewhat technical and relatively thorough look at the subject. Although Robertson does deal with some technical issues this book does serve as a great way to become acquainted with the Covenants [...]

Book Review: Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners
Most people know John Bunyan as the author of ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’, who has had the second most influential book in Christendom. Bunyan spent time in prison for refusing to preach; he wrote extensively and fought in the English civil war. ‘Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners’ is Bunyan’s auto-biography, he tells of how [...]

A Response to Codringtons “Perspectives on Homosexuality”
What follows in this paper is not an attack on Dr Graeme Codrington, I am sure he is a wonderful person, and what I remember from the few times I have heard him speak is that he is a articulate, friendly and intelligent man. In addition, this is not an attack on gays, the Bible [...]

A Conservative Critique of Rob Bell’s ‘Velvet Elvis’
I would prefer someone to read the ‘book of shadows’ (Wiccan Bible) or the ‘Koran’ or listen to a Marylin Manson cd then read this book. Why? Well, at least those others let you know that they are bad, at least you know what you are in for, but this book, is so shneaky, so deceitful, it is way more evil (please don’t let that comment put you off from reading further).
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, husband to Ainsley and serving as a pastor of a church plant in Johannesburg north called
