Summary

This is an invaluable book for people with some learning of the Christian faith, withstanding God's call to dedicate their lives to him. It's meant mainly for those who are seeking God but have not yet decided and are lingering at the Wicket Gate. Spurgeon goes through the various excuses people give for not being devoted to the Lord entirely and tries to convince those standing at the gate to enter and have faith. His love for Christ and his dedication to bringing people to salvation through Christ is prominent throughout the work. Spurgeon's incredibly poetic and detailed description of Christ's sacrifice on the cross adds to the charm of this book.

Spurgeon's style of writing this beautiful work is simple, direct, and flawless. His words are wise, and his arguments are genuinely convincing. It wonderfully lays out the power of the gospel to save people and doesn't dilute its message. In addition, this book is filled with illustrations that clarify his point very well.

    Almost every Christian man wants others to think of them as a “man’s man,” a “real man.” Yet, most of the time, these same men would be hard-pressed to provide a clear, compelling, and biblically rooted definition for what it means to be a man. Between the toxic masculinity and gender confusion of our day, the Christian church needs to retrieve a balanced vision of what it means to be a man. Instead of allowing cultural stereotypes to form our vision of masculinity, we need to return to the emotionally complex and paradoxically challenging example of Jesus’ own life and teaching. As the last Adam, the true Son of Abraham, Son of David, Jesus demonstrates how to live in conformity to God’s will as a man as He calls us to follow Him. When Poets Were Warriors studies the person and work of Jesus as an example of what it means to be a Christian man. Casey knows that Jesus is more than an example of masculinity, though he is not less. He wants readers to walk away from his book not only with a greater understanding of what it means to be a man, but also with a greater love for Jesus Christ. After all, Jesus provides the greatest example of what it means to be a man while doing what only he could do: redeeming others from sin through His life, death, and resurrection.

    Anything But Yes is the true story of a young woman's struggle to defend her identity in the face of relentless attempts to destroy it. In 1749, eighteen-year-old Anna del Monte was seized at gunpoint from her home in the Jewish ghetto of Rome and thrown into a convent cell at the Casa dei Catecumeni, the house of converts. With no access to the outside world, she withstood endless lectures, threats, promises, isolation and sleep deprivation. If she were she to utter the simple word "yes," she risked forced baptism, which would mean never returning to her home, and total loss of contact with any Jew—mother, father, brother, sister—for the rest of her life. 
     
      
     
    Even in Rome, very few people know the story of the Ghetto or the abduction of Jews, the story of popes ever more intent on converting every non-Catholic living in the long shadow of the Vatican. Young girls and small children were the primary targets. They were vulnerable, easily confused, gullible. Anna del Monte was different. She was strong, brilliant, educated, and wrote a diary of her experiences. The document was lost for more than 200 hundred years, then rediscovered in 1989. Anything But Yes is also based on Davidow's extensive research on life in the eighteenth-century Roman ghetto, its traditions, food, personalities, and dialect.

    Nineteenth century Scottish author Thomas Carlyle once said that religion is the most important thing about a person. By religion, he did not mean the church-creed people profess, but what they do that identifies their relationship to this mysterious universe. Religion is a depiction of one's worldview. It might be inherited from family, adopted from friends or admired persons, ... or it could be a reflection of one's preferred lifestyle. 
    Sadly, the topic of worldviews is a sensitive one, despite its crucial role in charting our destiny. Very few people want to hear what they don't want to hear. And Then There Were Some takes an evidence-based approach to major worldviews. Hundreds of references are drawn from science, history, literature, philosophy, entertainment, exploration, and scripture to encourage the reader to consider the factual bases of the world's major claims. 
    A man was once how he became successful. He answered that, as a boy, when he and his friends hunted birds' eggs he could always find more eggs than any of the other boys. When asked why, he said that he thought it was because he always looked into more bushes. And Then There Were Some is a bush worth looking into.
