This isn't yet another book on prayer methods, though he shares his, but more about helping us think rightly about prayer. Solid Biblically and easy to read. (less)

This is clearly not the kind of inspiring and challenging book that has made Francis Chan so well known, but it is an important book because of all those who want to explain away Hell. In his characteristic way, Chan goes open-handed to Scripture and asks what God reveals about it there. It is a short book, mercifully. The main book is only about 140 short pages. In the first four chapters Chan unpacks what Scripture says about Hell. This portion is clear, if difficult to read. Then in chapter 5-7 he turns to how Christians should respond to this teaching. Here we see Chan's gift for challenging our thinking with the truths of Scripture. It is worth the payoff. Perhaps the best summary can be found in this quote from page 148: "While hell can be a paralyzing doctrine, it can also be an energizing one, for it magnifies the beauty of the cross. Hell is the backdrop that reveals the profound and unbelievable grace of the cross. It brings to light the enormity of our sin and therefore portrays the undeserved favor of God in full color."
Whether or not recent conversations have left you confused about Hell, gird up and read this book.(less)

If Christians lived with this perspective it would transform our daily lives. I feel as if the engine of my Christian life just got supercharged. I don't know that Randy is right in all of his perceptions, but I do know that it won't be less than this! This is what Christ saved us for, so make sure you know what the Bible has to say about heaven. (less)

Tim Challies has put together a very helpful discussion, being both even-handed and Biblical. These are not the rantings of a technology-hating rambler. Tim is thoughtful in both the areas of theology and technology. As a technology leader at a Christian ministry, this book gives me much more to think about.
If you are a gadget-loving Christian, you should read this book.(less)

My only complaint is that it tended to lean a little too much on secular psychology rather than being based primarily in Scripture. Still, his conclusions seem largely consistent with Scripture and, I think, the result is helpful.(less)
