I want to apologize for the silence on this page over the last two months. On December 14th, I completed my Doctor of Ministry and that required much of my attention.

In addition to this, you'll notice that the name of our page has changed. The reasoning for this is that while the following and productivity of this page has grown, it is our great desire to branch out and continue to review literature in a detailed and valuable way - only now, this will not be exclusive to Reformed literature, and oftentimes not even exclusive to Christian literature.

Make no mistake, this is to remain a Christian page. But as in all things, we are to live in the world without being of the world. We will pay attention to all literature, and work to review it for our Christian audience!

Looking forward to a new year and many great books to come!

Are you watching the church that you love gradually die? What can you do about it as a member, or as a pastor? Thom S. Rainer's 2020 book, "Anatomy of a Revived Church" is an attempt to give insights into how to save dying churches. Read our review for more!..

This book came into my hands by the recommendation of a pastor friend of mine after a discussion over how churches are going to survive the transition of the generations we are experiencing right now. Most everyone has heard of or seen Thom Rainer's Autopsy of a Deceased Church, but fewer are famili...

Have you read 9 Marks? If you're a church leader (or a prospective one), it is a must read. Before you buy it, take a look at our review for a brief overview of its highlights!..

As a Pastor, it is no secret that I am always looking for good resources to enlighten my parishioners as to how we can become a better church. Thus, it should come as no surprise that I have wanted to read Mark Dever's Nine Marks of a Healthy Church for a long time now. It is a pleasure to finally h...

Do church plants raid the membership of other churches, only promenading as Gospel work? With J.D. Payne's church planting method, one can be assured that is not to occur. Payne's method of church planting is strikingly... Biblical. ..

Church planting is near-and-dear to my heart, having been a part of one that flourished and made an eternal difference in the lives of many. However, there are some who oppose church planting altogether in fear that church plants are simply attempts to further disintegrate the Church into thousands....

The Five Solas of the Reformation are the groundwork that must be understood to build any orthodox Christian teaching. Ellison's "Five" is a perfect introduction to these principles. ..

There is possibly no better introduction to Christian theology than one that focuses on the Five Sola's of the Reformation, and if one is looking for a booklet that will take readers through the historical and Biblical foundations of each of the Five Sola's, look no farther than S.D. Ellison's 2020....

Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage" is a needed look into the trans movement sweeping thousands of young women into lifelong consequences. How do we respond to this if we do not understand it? In a world of subjective moral relativism, get the facts and formulate a view based in them...

Let's begin by stating for anyone who is a regular reader of the Reformed Repute that this book is not in the category of "Christian book." The author would certainly never have intended it to be. This book is intended to serve the purpose of standing as a lone harbinger of danger in a cacophony of....

Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. In this short booklet by the incomparable C.H. Spurgeon, we have a wonderful explanation of this wonderful truth!

"Lord, save me!" Peter shouted as he sank into the waves. This is the testimony of every sinner who has ever received salvation. We could do nothing to save ourselves, but could only look to Jesus who reaches out and raises us from our death. It is this dependence on Christ and the sufficiency of Hi...

Are you trying to raise Christian boys? You have a "tough row to hoe" as they say. Dr. James Dobson has written a valuable and timely epistle to the Christian parents raising kids in a godless culture...

Christian parenting in the 21st Century is perhaps not as difficult as it was under the persecution of vicious regimes throughout history, but it is definitely more complicated today by nature of the fact that the problems that face our children are not as black-and-white as they once were. The diff...
