Would it not be great to read a scholarly book with such accessibility, written in such a conversational tone, that it is almost like being in comfy chairs, talking with the author? #TellHerStory #NijayKGupta #GoodBook
“Unoffendable” Love and Offense
The final piece in a five-part review of this book. God's love, the smog of shame, and the cost of forgiveness are a good way to complete my thoughts on this book. #Unoffendable #BrantHansen

“Unoffendable” Scripture Versus Straw Men
Jesus and Paul provide the template for us to understand how to process our offences and emotional pain. At the end of this post, I provide the title for what I think is a way better book on that topic. #Unoffendable #BrantHansen

Though the second chapter begins with what I see as good advice, it seems to conflate concepts throughout, and ends with what to me is a hair-raising conclusion. #Unoffendable

“Reading While Black”
McCaulley has a good voice for reading, not wasting words, yet somehow managing to take time to explain. He speaks the truth in a firm, clear, and yet gracious way, from his own life and experience and also as pastor. #ReadingWhileBlack #McCaulley

“Slaves, Women & Homosexuals”
This book first came out in 2001, so a lot of water has traveled under the proverbial bridge since he sent this manuscript off for final approval. Nevertheless, we found ourselves instantly drawn in by Webb’s hermeneutic of redemptive movement. #LGBTQ

“Out of a Far Country”
Whether you or I agree with how Christopher Yuan has made sense of who he is in the Lord, and how he interprets God’s call on his life, the bottom line for us all is to trust that God is loving enough, wise enough, powerful enough, and expansive enough to guide each of us into all truth, to God’s glory, and for our good.
