Book Reviews

Since part of our desire is to make accessible resources that may slip through the cracks, we try to read and review books that we think may be helpful to Christians and churches.  Our reviews will vary between detailed interactions and quick surveys, depending on the book.  It is our goal that these reviews will spark helpful and challenging interaction here on BBG.

You may notice that some of these reviews link back to Danny’s old blog.  They will be moved to this site over time and the links will be updated.
