This page contains the resources that I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Admittedly, it is an eclectic list. It contains everything from quotes and books that I like to podcasts, videos, and slideshows.
If you don’t want to scroll through the entire list, you can click on one of the links below and filter the resources by specific category.
I will update this list as I discover new resources. If you have a resource you think I should add, please email me.
The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men [and women] to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself is the core and center of their hearts.
Of all the spiritual disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.
A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal.
Strange Glory: A Life Of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2014)
A few years ago, I read Bonhoeffer, by Eric Metaxas. I was very impressed with the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. When I saw this new biography, I grabbed a copy as soon as I could. It’s very different so far, from Metaxas’ work. Marsh deals more with the intellectual and theological aspects of Bonhoeffer’s life, where Metaxas spent more time devoted to life events.
I’m only about a hundred pages in so far, so that could change. It’s well worth the time to read it, especially if you are a fan of biographies. Bonhoeffer was a spiritual giant of the early twentieth century, and there is much that we can learn from him.
I will post a full review when I finish the book, but in the meantime, you can pick up a copy of Strange Glory on Amazon.
The first step toward attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin.
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it; you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
Titus For You (The Good Book Company, 2014)
I’ve been very impressed with The Good Book Company’s new (non)commentary series. So far, I’ve read and enjoyed Judges For You, Romans 1-7 For You, and Galatians For You. This week, I received Titus For You, and I’m looking forward to really digging into it. I read through the first chapter yesterday, and it promises to be as good as the rest.
The biggest question in my mind is that this is the first of the series I’ve read that isn’t written by Tim Keller. The fact that this is by another author, Tim Chester, means that it will be written in a different style. I’m interested to see how it flows.
If it’s anything like the rest of the series, it will be a great resource for understanding the letter Paul wrote to Titus. Look for my full review in a few days. In the meantime, you can find it on Amazon.com.
