Roundup and some book recommendations

John Piper has written a new book called Think about engaging our minds for Jesus glory. Piper is one of the most humble Godly men I have heard and he writes profoundly well. He is also in Cape Town next week.

Scott McKnight is a great writer, blogger and author, his new book One.Life will be out shortly and if it is like any of his other stuff like Blue Parakeet which is in our library it will be worth getting.

Frederick Gaiser has a very good book out about Healing in the Bible. This is always a contentious issue and the book aims to expose what the scriptures actually say...it has some great reviews from respected authors.

Jonathan Parnell has a great post about 7 questions we should ask before we teach the scriptures as preachers, teachers and leaders.

For those who engage the science faith debate (as we all should in some ways) will know that there is a lot of rhetoric and not much grace (even from those who claim to follow Jesus the King of grace) BioLogos is a forum to discuss these things and there are some great video resources to provoke some thought and to get you reflecting on the majesty of God and his awesome creation and of course the $64 000 question: was it six literal days or not?
