What Should I Do Now That I'm a Christian? (Church Questions)What Should I Do Now That I’m a Christian? by Sam Emadi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This little book was a really good read. Emadi managed to say a lot in a little space. Some may be surprised to find so much emphasis on the local church in such a short book, but that is exactly what new Christians need to hear. The New Testament has no plan for Christian discipleship outside of the local church.

What If I Don't Desire to Pray? (Church Questions)What If I Don’t Desire to Pray? by John Onwuchekwa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This a practical booklet on prayer. John O doesn’t try to give a theology of prayer but a helpful encouragement to pray, both individually and corporately. He gets to the actual problem—we know how to pray but don’t really want to pray.

Book Review: Why Should I Join a Church?

Why Should I Join a Church?Why Should I Join a Church? by Mark Dever
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a good little booklet about joining a church. Many see it as optional at best. I had some quibbles but agree with the author that there’s no way to obey all Christ has commanded apart from church membership.

Book Review: Understanding Baptism

Posted by on April 2, 2019 · Leave a Comment 

Understanding BaptismUnderstanding Baptism by Bobby Jamieson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a clear, concise, and readable book. Jamieson does a good job explaining baptism. I greatly appreciated the emphasis on the Gospel in connection to baptism, how baptism is a public profession, and the connection with church membership. I disagreed with his take on the lone Christian and baptism. He overworked the Acts 8 passage on the baptism of the Ethiopian Eunuch. If he had just left that out, this already strong book would’ve been stronger. Overall the book is helpful and worth reading.
