Each book review points out positives and negatives. As a principle, I try to understand an author’s life and see their writing through the lens of their life.
I mainly review sermons, theology, creative essays, biographies, and classic Christian living books. Occasionally I review works of fiction by Christian authors, such as the Inklings. These reviews will never include spoilers.
If a title does not have a link, it means that the review is scheduled and coming soon.
