The Courage to Be Protestant

These are just a few reviews of the book I am currently reading, The Courage to Be Protestant: Truth Lovers, Marketers, and Emergents in the Postmodern World by David Wells.

I’ve been posting some excerpts this week, and I’ve been amazed at the difficulty of choosing highlights. It seems as if each paragraph is fairly bursting with potent insights into today’s church and culture. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book that is so immediately — if you’ll forgive the cliché — relevant.

JC Ryle's Holiness is like that.
Steven Lawson writes that way too. i also am always blessed by RC Sproul's TableTalk articles. He always nails it.

God has truly blessed His Church with such gifted pastors-teachers. But the Church at large doesn't long to be nourished from these gifts from our Lord, but goes instead for junk food from Joel Osteen's & Brian McLaren's, which has no sustenance for the spirit.

Keep up the great posts. Good food.
