Mixed bag of Sweet's writing

by Paul Mastin
August 28, 2012

If you picked up Leonard Sweet's Real Church in a Social Network World thinking you'd get some great insights on church life and cyber connectedness, you quickly find you were mistaken. This book has some good ideas. But it doesn't work well as... [Read on]

To Heaven and Back - Mary C. Neal, MD

Cool experience, weak theology

by Paul Mastin
June 28, 2012

The problem with a book about someone's personal account of a series of very personal events is that there's no way to constructively criticize or verify the author's account. I have no reason to doubt Dr. Mary C. Neal's stories as told in To... [Read on]

Indelible - Kristen Heitzmann

Suspense novel for your feminine side.

by Paul Mastin
June 26, 2012

Coming Apart - Charles Murray

A bleak report, but a ray of hope

by Paul Mastin
June 13, 2012

I know Mr. Murray didn't mean to be a downer with this book, but it sort of depressed me. I guess his most famous book, Losing Ground, isn't a ray of sunshine either, but man, his take on the state of the U.S. is bleak. In Coming Apart: The... [Read on]

Good point, weak exposition

by Paul Mastin
May 1, 2012

You gotta love a title like this: The Necessity of an Enemy. Ron Carpenter, Jr., pastor of Redemption World Outreach Center in South Carolina, says to welcome the enemies in your life. He takes this seemingly contradictory idea and runs with... [Read on]
