Book Reviews Rating System

Purpose of Book Review Section

Purposes in posting the following book reviews: (1) to stimulate a love for reading; (2) to introduce people to particular books; (3) to introduce people to particular ideas, historical events and people.

Please keep in mind, we are not recommending all the books and/or authors reviewed. Nor are we endorsing all the content of any particular book or author. It is important to exercise Biblical discernment when reading any book, even (or maybe especially) books written by authors you trust.

Rating System

While rating systems are subjective, they can be helpful. When rating a book we have three main categories in mind: (1) the doctrinal acceptability of the book; (2) the quality of the treatment of the subject; and (3) the quality of the writing style... in that order.
