English Bible Translations – By What Standard by William O. Einwechter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book presents a decent and concise explanation of the presuppositional veiw of Bible translation. He is a bit heavy-handed at times and I have read conflicting information on a few points. He does make a good case for formal equivalence in a translation, while acknowledging that complete formal equivalence is not possible. He also has a very brief appendix on the errors of typical KJVO advocates and distinguishing such positions from traditional and confessional views on the subject.

The Homiletical Beat: Why All Sermons Are Narrative by Eugene L. Lowry
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The music analogy with tension and resolution for sermons was good. This book deals mainly with the sermon form as narrative form. Narrative form has beginning, middle, and end. Narrative form includes tension in the form of crisis or conflict leading to resolution. Lowry points out that sermons are events over time, more like the process of painting a picture than the presentation of a painted picture. Some good ideas here worth considering about sermonic form and even delivery, but not so much as to sermon content.

What Is The Lord’s Supper? by R.C. Sproul
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This brief book is a part of the Crucial Questions series. Sproul had such a clear and concise style, this is an easy read. There are some points I am always going to differ with him, but there was a lot of good in this book. He does give quite a bit of space to historical issues surrounding the Lord’s Supper that may be more or less relevant depending on the reader’s background.
