When I launched this site, one of the first things I started doing is reviewing books. There are two reasons for this:
- I love books
- I want to help you find good books that will help you grow in your faith
With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of all the reviews I’ve completed to date. Some of these books are excellent, some okay and others are ones that I’ve read to save you the trouble of doing it yourself. I hope you’ll find them helpful in your quest to read good books.
Some publishers whose material you’ll see reviewed here include:
- Thomas Nelson
- Crossway
- Tyndale House
- Waterbrook/Multnohmah
- David C. Cook
- Zondervan
- New Growth Press
- The Good Book Company
- Logos Bible Software
- Christian Focus
However, I don’t limit myself to just these publishers (nor do I limit myself to solely Christian books).
Recent reviews
At this point, I’ve written hundreds of reviews. I’ve even written a small ebook on how to write good ones. As you can imagine, if I showed you all of them here, that’d be a lot of scrolling. So rather than showing you everything, below you’ll find a list of my most recent reviews. Enjoy!
What I read in August - Normally I like to share a breakdown of everything I read every month, including the books I abandoned. I do this because it gives me an opportunity to introduce you to books you might not have had an opportunity to read while practicing the art of writing concise book reviews. Because I spent my entire […]

Another couple of months have come […] What I read in June - Another month has come and gone, and with it more reading! In June, I didn’t finish a whole lot. Partly because I started an audiobook that was about 30 hours long. And then I travelled a lot so my commute time disappeared. Even so, I managed to read 7 books to completion. Here’s what I […]

Deliver us from careless prayers - Prayer is probably the area I struggle with most on a consistent basis. Not so much in not doing it (although there have been days), but in praying carelessly. Praying as though I were on autopilot instead of communing with the Father. That’s something I was reminded of and convicted by as I read a […] What I read in February - Another month has come and gone, and with it more reading!

The Littlest Watchman - We don’t have a lot of Christmas traditions in the Armstrong home, but there are a few (and not just the one to two week window for how long we have a tree up). Our traditions tend to center around books we like to read around the holidays. I’ll usually wind up reading Dickens’ A […]

The secret of Martin Luther’s counseling ministry - Many of us are familiar with Martin Luther, the accidental revolutionary. The man who, by posting his 95 Theses to the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg, found himself at the center of what became known as the Protestant Reformation. But fewer of us are familiar with Martin Luther, the pastor. The man who, […]

The most personally convicting book I’ve read in ages - Right now, I’m about halfway through David Murray’s Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture. I probably should have been done it about a week ago, when I started reading it on a plane, but I can’t finish it. At least not yet. It’s been a challenge. The challenge doesn’t come from the […]
