Why We Love the Church ... Just Do Something

Perhaps more to come on these two books after I have actually read them. But I know Kevin and the quality of his other publications and whole heartedly endorse his books. Kevin provides thoughtful critques of the condition of our evangelical churches. His writing is irenic in spirit, yet does not pull any punches and stands steadfastly for truth.






My friend Kevin DeYoung has just published another book by Moody Press entitled "Why We Love the Church: In Praise of Institutions and Organized Religion" It looks like it is a really great book and I am looking forward to getting a copy of it. Kevin has posted an excerpt from the introduction over at his blog - "Mad Libbing Church Angst." I love his insightful analysis of the modern evangelical church and his unique writing style.

I really behind ... Kevin is publishing books books faster than I can read! His other recent Moody book has gotten great reviews from our pastoral staff. The book has an engaging title ...
Just Do Something: How to Make a Decision Without Dreams, Visions, Fleeces, Open Doors, Random Bible Verses, Casting Lots, Liver Shivers, Writing in the Sky, etc. As I understand it - Kevin writing from a reformed perspective debunks the "dot" theory of God's will and vigorously asserts the classic doctrine of God's Providence which has virtually been lost in recent times.
