Young, Hal and Melanie. Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching, and Appreciating Boys. Lexington: Great Waters Press, 2009. 254 pp. $15.00. Purchase the book and bonusesfrom their website for $15.00 or less.
Hal and Melanie Young have six sons and two daughters—the six boys came first. Their children range from 2 years old to out of high school. They speak on parenting, educating your children and family policy issues among other subjects. You can read more about their ministry at RaisingRealMen.com.
Divided into two parts, the Young’s first offer biblical foundations for how they parent their boys (and, yes, sometimes even their girls). The introduction to part one looks at the virtues of being a man and how God intended for men to be, well, men. Chapter one is an apologetic for our boys having the right set of heroes to look up to. First and foremost must always be Jesus Christ, then dad. After that, you, as the parent must help your son to be discerning as to who they look up to.
Chapter two looks at the biblical foundations for a boys sense of adventure and boldness while chapter three offers tips on how to teach your sons to stand for something while learning how to be responsible. A helpful chapter is the chapter on boys and guns and what the Bible says about the subject.
This section concludes with chapters on what it means to be a servant leader and how to train your boys to be citizens with a proper understanding of their role as a citizen both here and in Heaven.
After having laid the biblical foundation for their parenting, Hal and Melanie offer practical tips on how to actually parent your sons. The first chapter in this section looks at how you should teach your boys diligently and without ceasing. The second chapter in this section looks to how to teach the boys to use money.
An extremely helpful chapter is the one entitled “Your Own School for Boys.” In this chapter, the authors detail major key differences in the development of boys when it comes to education. Basically, this chapter helps to keep parents from sounding the “freak out” alarm when little Johnny doesn’t learn as well as little Timmy.
In two practical chapters, they look at the misconception that chivalry is a thing of the past and that working in the kitchen is for women. No, you will not scar your boys for life if you make them work in the kitchen! They conclude the book with how to guard your son’s mind from the spiritual battles that will take place in their lives. The last chapter is the guide on how to set your boy free to become a man. Mom’s will definitely want to read this.
The only real issue I had with anything in this book was their section on stewardship and how to teach your sons to use a credit card. They act as though a credit card is inevitable and therefore every child must be taught how to use one. I have not used a credit card in six years. I don’t plan on using a credit card ever again. Anything you can do with a credit card can now be done with a debit card.
Outside of that one issue (and it is really a non-issue), I highly recommend this book to any parent who has a son (or three). I cannot tell you how many times my wife and I, the parents of three boys so far, would say, “Man, I wish we knew someone with similar convictions as us that would allow us to pick their brain on raising our boys.” Well, we now have that brain to be picked.
Hal and Melanie write as though they are sitting at your kitchen table discussing what they have experienced in their 20 years of raising boys and offer their experience to you. They make it a point to declare that “this is what we do” and not that it is the only way to do it. They maintain a humility (boys will do that to you) throughout the whole book.
To read this book once is to plant many seeds in the mind of the parent. To own it and have it at your disposal is to have a watering can with an infinite amount of water to water that seed. This will be a book my wife and I reference again and again.
Baker, Hunter. The End of Secularism. Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2009. 224 pp. $17.99. Purchase at Amazon for $12.23 or less.
Secularism has been bandied about by so many intellectuals as the only way in which America can survive. Hunter Baker takes this assumption and pretty much kicks it in the face and shows it to be just what it is…an assumption. For those who do not know Hunter Baker, he is a writer and Christian academic who specializes in religion, politics, history and culture. He currently serves on the political science faculty at Houston Baptist University. He has written for the National Review Online, Journal of Law and Religion, and Christianity Today. In other words, he has studied quite a bit in the realm of secularism.
From the outset, Baker does not pull any punches. He gets right down into it by stating that he has “come to believe secularists are profoundly wrong to suggest that leaving religion out of the public square is a good thing for all involved.” He then states that secularism “is not and should not be synonymous with the separation of church and state.” That is his introduction.
From that point forward he spends a few chapters detailing the history of the development of secularism (both inside and outside of Christianity). He then looks specifically at the history of America to determine whether we were founded as a Christian or secular nation. (Hint: It was really neither.)
After having established the history of secularism and America, Baker then handles the assumption that secularism is a better choice and that a secularist really does not have a scientific claim to formulating political goals. He concludes the book with a look at a case where a state governor and Christian law prof tried to reform the state’s tax code using the philosophy of one Jesus Christ as their reasoning. Interestingly enough, no one complained then.
His conclusion is that “secularism is partisan, shallow and under-examined.”
I have to admit that the political science talk does nothing for me. Nonetheless, Baker lays out some amazing philosophical (that is more to my liking) arguments against secularism. In a nutshell, he offers a cogent argument showing how the entire concept of secularism is bankrupt. No can argue that, in a pluralistic society, kicking religious conversations to the curb will benefit the masses. Sure there are a group of very vocal minorities who would like to see all references to Jesus, God, or any religion, struck from the lips of the public, but the problem is that they will never (hopefully?) be able to convince the public at large against religion. I need not mention that secularism can be defined as a set of religious beliefs do I?
I would recommend The End of Secularism to any pastor or any thoughtful Christian–especially if he or she is planning to attend college. Even if one attends “Christian” university, he will undoubtedly encounter both profs and students wanting to argue for a complete eradication of religion. We are indebted to Hunter Baker for this volume.
Blackmon, S.N. The Price of Paradise. Hampton: Consuming Fire Incorporated, 2009. 577 pp. $19.99 Purchase at Amazon for $19.99 or less.
S.N. Blackmon, an ordained minister, is the founder and owner of Kingdom Rule Publishing, a company devoted to publishing books on Christian living and servant leadership. Blackmon is the former chief reviewer for Burning Pages, a book review site specializing in Christian fantasy, science, and speculative fiction.
Isaac has been a Christian for many years. He is married with two children and they attend church regularly. He works as a movie reviewer. Oscar, his youngest son, falls into a come for no known reason leaving doctors perplexed. Hope, his wife, is a grade school counselor. She meets a young girl, Kylie, at her school in whom she takes a professional interest. Kylie has a strange story. It is obvious something is quite not right at home, but she will not talk.
The book begins and centers on a question asked by Isaac while writing a review—“Would Camelot have stood if Lancelot had not slept with Guinevere?” God then intervenes into Isaac’s life asking him if he wants to know Him more closely. Isaac answers yes and then all Hell breaks loose in his life. Along the way, Isaac gets a “nickel” tour of Heaven and a peek inside the mind of God.
I will not give much more as to the story line other than to say God shows Himself to be faithful (is that not always the case?) and true. Through every twist and turn, Isaac finds Himself squaring off not only with God (whoever says they have never challenged God is, I believe it is safe to say, lying) but with his own faith in God. You do not know how this novel will end until the last word, but even then you discover that there is a sequel.
I am going to review this book in two parts. First, I will take a cursory look at the story-line. Second, I will discuss the theology. The latter will definitely be longer. I have had some conversation with the author and have included some of his responses below. If you do read this book, I (as well as S.N. Blackmon) would love to know your thoughts.
The plot of the book does not really get going for a few chapters. At times, you cannot put the book down due to plot twists and main character surprises. At other times, there seems to be too much description that somewhat gets the reader bogged down.
I believe Blackmon shows quite effectively how many Christians deal with the stresses of everyday life not too mention those times when the weight of the Fall is squarely placed on our shoulders. Overall, I was impressed with the easy reading offered by Blackmon in The Price of Paradise.
When I was first contacted to review this book, I remember being told that he was receiving some comments that it compared to The Shack. I responded that I was not interested in anything that compared to that book given the heresy found therein. (Fortunately, I would not compare it to that book.) He responded that he wanted someone with a bit more discernment to read the book. I agreed to do so. What follows are my “highlights” of concerns insofar as the theological content is concerned.
First, God is made out to be an impotent Being who can do nothing to man unless given permission by man. God says in a few places that He will not force Oscar or Isaac to either go back to life on earth or whether or not Isaac wants to come closer to God. A few times, God says that He will not do anything that man will not allow him to do.
This flies in the face of Scriptures like Genesis 50:20 or Proverbs 16:9. I am not saying that man does not have a choice (even if I fully agree with the five soteriological points of Calvinism). What I am saying is that God is not bound by our choices in such a way that He “sits” there wringing His hands (Open Theism) hoping we make the right choice so that His plan may be fulfilled. No, God uses our choices to fulfill His plan. God’s sovereignty and man’s choice are two sides of the same coin and need not be questioned as opposing view points. Instead, they are more like an eternal understanding of what is happening (God’s sovereignty) and an earthly understanding of what is happening (man’s choice).
Response:
I was surprised to read that you thought I disagreed with this. Oscar chose to disobey just like Adam chose to disobey. I thought the opponents of this theology would be upset with me because I claim that Adam’s choice was completely inline with the Sovereign Will of God – it was a necessary part of God’s plan – but Adam, just like Christ still had a choice.
Second, we read in a few places that Christ and Archienipus designed certain features of Heaven and the universe. What happens then with Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-4, and Colossians 1:16-17? No, Jesus did not need any help to create anything—He did it perfect from the beginning. Yes, this excludes any concept of macro-evolution and millions of years.
Response:
The book is supposed to communicate that God shares things with us just like you might let your 10 year-old son help you as you work on a car… not because you need him, but out of loving relationship.
Third, there is a hint of New Age theology running around in this book. He hints at the idea that we can become God (p. 326, 465, and 482). Blackmon offers some explanations to the contrary, but they are a bit clouded given that they are either put in the mouth of God or a tour guide in Heaven. Also, a case can be made that the tour guide concept is also somewhat New Age but not many will see that in reading this book.
Fourth, Jesus was definitely omnipresent in Heaven. Unfortunately, He was omnipresent in bodily form. Every time a “different” Jesus would appear, He would be wearing different clothes and even needed help on a few occasions.
Finally, since this is a work of fiction, there is some leeway for artistic license. Unfortunately, when dealing with matters of Scripture and theology, most will read without discernment and will give more credence to a work of fiction rather than what the Bible says. By placing words in the mouth of God, Blackmon inadvertently gives much credibility to many things that he ought not. By offering explicit descriptions of Heaven, not found in the Bible, he sets himself up for failure.
This list is not meant to be exhaustive. There are some other ecclesiological issues I personally have as well as some issues with the way some of the characters behave, but overall, I believe I have listed the major concerns I have with the book.
Before I recommend anything, I want to let you, the reader of this review know something. I read this book during a time when my own child, a newborn infant, was dealing with medical problems. On top of that, my three older sons dealt with their own medical issues. On top of that, my wife and I were dealing with life in general from all sides. I can honestly say that The Price of Paradise allowed me to get lost in another world (no pun intended given some things in the book) while dealing with life’s issues in my own home.
At nearly 600 pages, the book is quite breathtaking in depth of character and subject matter. Given the theological concerns, I can only recommend this book to a discerning reader. If it only dealt with the natural side of the story, this book would very much be recommended, but because Blackmon goes into the supernatural side of the story, I feel that I must be careful in giving a blanket recommendation. In the end, you realize that Blackmon has dealt with some pretty serious issues this side of eternity through his writing. For that, I am thankful.
If you are going to read this book, it must be noted that it is a work of fiction and that Blackmon has been influenced in the genre of Christian fantasy, science, and speculative fiction. Keeping that in mind will help the reader to be accepting of the “scratch your head” sections of the book.

Murphy, Martin. Theological Terms in Layman Language. CreateSpace Publishers, 2009. 140 pp. $9.95. Purchase at Amazon
I have reviewed Martin Murphy’s book The god of the Church Growth Movement. I found that book to be a nice introduction to the discussion on the the idol that has become church growth. Now, he has published a dictionary of theological terms with the pew sitter in mind.
This dictionary is not just for theological terms as the title would indicate. Rather, it includes theologians and philosophers from throughout history as well as theological phrases. The book also includes theological and philosophical terms.
Included in some of the definitions, Martin offers some opinion, but for the most part he gives straight-forward definitions. Below are a couple examples of the definitions from the different categories.
Descartes, Rene. A French philosopher of the 17th century who sought to explain the relation and interaction between matter and thought. He sought to understand the relation between extension and non-extension. Descartes described matter as extension and thought as non-extension. He coined the phrase “Cogito ergo sum,” I think therefore I am.
Mediator. One who attempts to reconcile two parties in conflict. In the Old Testament the priest was the mediator between God and man prefiguring the true Mediator, the Lord Jesus Christ. As the God-man Jesus Christ represents both sides God and man.
There is nothing written in here that would keep me from recommending it to a member of my congregation. At $9.95 (cheaper at Amazon), this book is worth purchasing for that Sunday School teacher just getting started or that new Christian “chomping at the bit” wanting to learn more about God and the Bible.
IntroductionColonel Jim Coy is a medical consultant for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. He served two years as the national president of the Special Operations Medical Association and as the national surgeon of the Reserve Officers Association. He lectures both nationally and internationally on combat trauma medicine and his ground-breaking research on lightweight x-ray equipment.
Dr. Coy has served with numerous Special Forces and Special Operations units. He served with the 3rd Group Army Special Forces (AIRBORNE) in the 1991 Gulf War. He has received a myriad of military honors, awards, and badges including the Legion of Merit, the Combat Medical Badge, and the prestigious “A” designation—the highest recognition of the Army Medical Department.
He battled with cancer from 1978-1989 with four major surgeries during which portions of his lower throat and jawbone were removed. Today he is considered cured.
Jim and his wife Vicki have three children: Tim, Tricia, and Joshua. His family is extremely important to him. He has a vision to see men become spiritual leaders and stand strong for their families. Colonel Coy is very active in Promise Keepers and Prime Time (an interdenominational group for men) and is the Men’s Ministry director at his home church.
Today, Jim desires to develop a ministry to military and former military men and frequently speaks to community, church, and military groups across the United States.
His website is worth checking out, especially if you are searching for scholarship money. I will let you search his site for that information!
I am reviewing all three books in the series at one time because they are all similar in subject matter.
Coy, Jimmie Dean. Valor: A Gathering of Eagles. Mobile: Evergreen Press, 3rd ed. 2005. 305 pp. $14.99. Purchase at Amazon.
This first book in the Gathering of Eagles series is dedicated solely to 117 men (and women) who have won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Offered throughout the book is advice on leadership, success and, in my opinion the most important characteristic trait, courage. Each person featured offers some insight on one of the aforementioned characteristic traits in less than a page. The facing page gives the rank and organization the person was affiliated with along with the place and date for which the event that he (or she) earned the Medal of Honor. Of most significance, is the actual wording of the citation awarded to each person.
Coy, Jimmie Dean. A Gathering of Eagles. Mobile: Evergreen Press, 2nd ed. 2004. 288 pp. $14.95. Purchase at Amazon.
This volume builds and expands on the first. Col. Coy has divided this book into five parts. The first part consists of more Medal of Honor winners while the second part looks at military leaders. Part three offers some unique insight from Ex-POWs with part four gives us advice from political leaders. The fifth part gives a completely different perspective–that of religious leaders.
Unfortunately, this volume does not offer all of the information that the first volume offered for each individual. Also, some of the pictures are a bit dated for some of the leaders who are still well-known today.
Coy, Jimmie Dean. Prisoners of Hope. Mobile: Evergreen Press, 2005. 306 pp. $14.99.
Volume three was sort of introduced by volume two’s section on Ex-POWs. Prisoners of Hope is dedicated to 119 Ex-POWs discussing their faith, views of leadership, and their courage. These men have experienced things that most of us will never dream about experiencing, let alone actually experiencing.
Each person offers a “nutshell” quote followed by further explanation on how the application of their advice/insight works in the real world. For those offered awards, we are offered the wording from the citation.
If you are, or have served in the military, you will love these books. Even if you have not served, these books will inspire you. It is important to note that these books are not Christian in nature, but they do offer much in the way of sound advice from experienced men of the world. Another by-product of a collection of quotes is exactly that–you now have a collection of 600+ different statements or quotes on leadership, success, courage, and faith. This is especially nice for the teacher or preacher or writer who is always looking for a good quote. You can purchase these books at Amazon at very inexpensive prices.
MacArthur, John. Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World. Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2009. 304 pp. $22.99. Purchase at Amazon for$15.63 or less.
John MacArthur needs no real introduction. His radio ministry, Grace To You, is familiar to countless thousands. Master’s College and Seminary, where he serves as President, is known for their conservative, biblical approach to teaching and training men and women to serve the Lord all over the world. He also serves as pastor-teacher at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California. As far as books are concerned, he has authored numerous volumes as well as a study Bible bearing his name along with a John Calvin-esque commentary series also bearing his name.
Ashamed of the Gospel is now in its third edition which is quite remarkable given its topic—the gospel of Jesus Christ and how the modern church (generically speaking) is, in fact, ashamed of the gospel. Much has changed since this book was first written in 1993. Unfortunately, one thing has not—the church is still in bed with entertainment.
The first ten chapters have pretty much been untouched from the first edition. In these chapters, MacArthur looks back at how Charles Haddon Spurgeon handled the Down-Grade controversy in his time in order to see how we might best handle the diminishing of the gospel in our time. He looks at how we have left the preaching of the Word for more entertaining messages that Paul wrote about in 2 Tim 4:3-4. Thankfully, he offers a look at how Paul handled “modern” society in Acts 17.
Chapters eleven and twelve are the additions that bear mentioning and make this edition worth purchasing. As John looks back on the preceding fifteen years since the first publishing of the book, he notes that the “Influence of the church within our culture continues to diminish” (205). In looking at where the church is today, he writes,
The church has become a laughingstock with no moral authority to stand before the world and confront sin, declare Christ’s lordship, and speak with any credibility about sin, righteousness, or judgment (206).
Stinging words for sure, but words that are not only justified, they need to be shouted from the rooftops of every church building!
MacArthur’s greatest concern is that the Emergent and seeker-sensitive types will leave their fading “theologies” and catch on with the latest craze dubbed by Time magazine as “The New Calvinism.” His concern is valid though I think there are enough of the older, more level-headed Calvinists around that they will keep those that are younger in line.
Obviously, many in today’s church will completely disagree with John MacArthur’s assessments. However, it must be noted, that MacArthur is not alone in his critique of the modern church. Many would cite Paul Washer and John Piper and Albert Mohler as a few of many who share these concerns.
I think MacArthur’s book should be read by all pastors since we are called to preach the Word in season and, as is the case in many cities today, out of season. There are so many being led astray by many so-called pastors who merely preach a gospel-lite message that our greatest evangelistic opportunities are those whose names appear on church roles! Do yourself a favor and read this book, especially if you are a younger pastor. We would all do well to heed the warning cries of John MacArthur.
Ehrhard, Jim. Dangers of the Invitation System. Parkside: Christian Communicators Worldwide, 2008. 32 pp. $2.95. Purchase at CCW for $2.65 or less.
This is another booklet offered by Christian Communicators Worldwide. This particular booklet was written by Jim Ehrhard who just recently felt God calling him to lead Teaching Resources, a ministry based in Little Rock, Arkansas, full time. I personally have benefited from this ministry which publishes a quarterly magazine choc full of useful mini biographies and exegetical teachings from Scripture on subjects that matter to the church today.
This little booklet is obviously a critique of the current method of sharing the gospel on Sunday mornings employed in many churches. In this short, 32 page book, Jim offers a brief history of the alter call. After finding the alter call lacking in many areas, biblically speaking, Jim offers what he calls a better way. Simply put, that better way is to exhort men and women to turn from their sins and turn toward Christ. This appeal is to all who are listening. Please note that the author painstakingly makes it clear that we are to exhort all to repentance of sin.
Clearly, Jim Ehrhard is taking down a sacred cow in many churches and pulpits with this particular booklet. Unfortunately, the alter call has replaced evangelism in the actions (if not the thoughts) of many pastors. I, personally, am in a denomination that seems to live and die by the alter call. I can relate to making the mistake of not having one after a sermon and then feeling the wrath of the congregation as they filed past me at the end of the service. (To be truthful, it was an honest, rookie mistake!)
What Jim is not saying is that we must never have an alter call. He is simply warning that many have put too much stock in that time of the service as though if the call is not offered, someone may miss out on their salvation. Jim explains both the negatives and positives of the alter call and then looks to Scripture to see what we ought to be doing. He does this with gentleness and respect and for that I am thankful.
Again, the cost of this book is such that many copies can be purchased and given away. I would recommend that every pastor read this book objectively and see if Jim offers sound, biblically based reasons for finding the alter call methodology lacking. While I still personally have an alter call when I do preach, I do not put so much stock in them to think that if I did not do so 
someone might not get saved.
Elliff, Jim and Daryl Wingerd. Restoring Those Who Fall. Parkville: Christian Communicators Worldwide, 2008. 20 pp. $2.25. Purchase at CCW for $2.00 or less.
I include this little booklet as part of the above review for two reasons. First, we have made it so easy to join a church that, as I have stated in other places, our greatest evangelistic opportunity is in our pews on Sunday morning. Second, because when we allow unbiblical precedents to determine who is and who is not a believer, we inevitably will encounter major spiritual problems within the local church.
This pamphlet is merely a statement on church discipline that can be adopted by any church in any denomination. It has been said by many in the past that when church discipline leaves the church, so does the Holy Spirit. Elliff and Wingerd offer scriptural support for the necessity, though often times misused, of church discipline.
I can honestly recall confronting a pastor I was serving with regarding his need to bring biblical church discipline back into the church. His answer was a simple, “It is too difficult to deal with. They are not going to listen to it, anyway. I might as well not worry about it right now.” Unfortunately, this is a common mindset across the church in America.
Many may find this pamphlet too harsh (see the section on persistent and willful non-attendance) and will not pick it up to read. That is too sad because what the church needs now more than ever is corrective discipline. Everyone in the ministry ought to be familiar with what the Bible says about corrective church discipline. Jim Elliff’s ministry is certainly doing their part to teach others.
Elliff, Jim. A Brief Account of the Life and Labors of George Muller and George Muller on Money and Possessions. Kansas City: Christian Communicators Worldwide, 2006. 164 pp. $11.99. Purchase at Amazon at a discount.
George Muller is a saint that should not need any introduction. Unfortunately, he does. Many have “heard of the name” but few have actually sat at the feet of this saint and learned what it means to fully trust in God. George Muller (1805-1898) is best known for the orphanage (over 10,000 orphans in his lifetime) he funded through his prayers. He never explicitly asked anyone for money. Stories abound about how God would answer his prayer and many of those have been preserved in a few biographies worth reading with A.T. Pierson’s George Muller of Bristol and Roger Steer’s George Muller: Delighted in God being two of the best to read for a more detailed study of the life and ministry of George Muller.
His foundation still exists today though they no longer deal with orphans. Now they work with the elderly and young families. You can read more about the work of the George Muller Foundation at their website. Most importantly, they still operate by the same principles that George Muller did—prayer.
This particular edition published by Christian Communicators Worldwide consists of the original biography written by Mrs. Muller (George’s second wife) during their missionary journeys in the late 1800’s. According to George Muller, who wrote the introduction to the original volume, “My beloved wife…undertook to write a a very brief history of my life and labours.” This was done because both of them had been repeatedly asked for a condensed version of his 1,600 page autobiography. She wrote it because George could not decide what he should cut out in order to condense the book to a much more affordable price. Therefore, the first half of the book is merely Mrs. Muller’s condensed version of the aforementioned autobiography.
The second half of the book was edited by Jim Elliff and details George Muller’s understanding of earthly possessions as opposed to an eternal perspective. In essence, Muller argues that we should not seek to make ourselves wealthy in this life. Rather, we must “pay it forward” (my words) toward our eternal life in heaven. What use will our wealth be to us when we die?
There is not much negative in the way of reviewing and/or critiquing George Muller. Obviously not everyone is going to agree with George Muller’s views on money and prayer. Regardless, it cannot be said that George Muller did not base his ministry and faith in what the Bible teaches. On the contrary, what can be said is that George Muller was one of those radical Christians who took serious the Word of God.
Every Christian needs to be familiar with the life of George Muller. His writings—more biographical in nature—will challenge you to a deeper level of faith and understanding in what the Creator of the universe is able to do for those who ask in faith. Pick up at least one of many works dealing with the life of George Muller. You will not regret it, I promise.
