My Favorite 2007 Reading

January 13, 2008 by Alex Chediak

Various members of the Desiring God staff each recently provided their top three books of 2007. I thought I’d attempt the same. Here are my top three:
1. White Guilt (by Shelby Steele)
2. Perspectives Old and New on Paul: The “Lutheran” Paul and His Critics by Stephen Westerholm
3. God’s Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America by Hanna Rosin
I’m grateful to blog reader Kimberly for alerting me to this new title. This book is a fascinating, insightful story of the mission of Patrick Henry College, which seeks to produce future Christian leaders who impact the cultural and political landscape for Christ. Given that Rosin is both Jewish and a self-described non-conservative, I was impressed at both the depth of her research and the graciousness with which she treated the subject. She is an outstanding, engaging writer. [Fair warning: She uses some profanity and on a couple occasions employs unnecessarily crude sexual references.]
Here are other titles I read this past year (not counting ones I’ve dabbled in -:), in case they give you ideas. (And if you are new to this blog, I’ve posted on most of these titles. You can use the search feature to find the posts.)
1. Semiconductor Devices (Muller and Kamins)
2. The Law and Its Fulfillment (Tom Schreiner)
3. Paul, Apostle of God’s Glory in Christ (Tom Schreiner) (very long – I read about half)
4. Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce (John Piper)
5. When the Darkness Will Not Lift (John Piper)
6. Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture (Graeme Goldsworthy)
7. The Faith of Condoleeza Rice (Leslie Montgomery)
8. Family Driven Faith (Voddie Baucham)
9. Girls Gone Mild (Wendy Shalit)
10. ReThink (Steve Wright)
11. Perspectives Old and New on Paul (Stephen Westerholm)
12. What is a Healthy Church? (Mark Dever)
13. The Truth of the Cross (R.C. Sproul)
14. Why I Am Not a Calvinst (Jerry Walls and Joe Dongell)
15. Discovering Biblical Equality: Complementarity Without Hierarchy (Editors Ronald W. Pierce and Rebecca M. Groothuis) (I read about half)
16. Evangelical Feminism & Biblical Truth (Wayne Grudem) (900 pages — I read almost one third of it)
17. Total Truth: Liberating Christianity From Its Cultural Captivity (Nancy Pearcey)
18. Business for the Glory of God (Wayne Grudem)

Praise for With One Voice

This relatively short book packs a powerful bang for the buck, providing much biblical and practical advice for young men and women seeking to glorify God in relationships.

Alex and Brett Harris
Best-selling authors of Do Hard Things

Alex and Marni Chediak offer sound biblical advice and a clear Christian framework for working through the maze of confusions surrounding modern marriage.

R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Publishers have been cranking out books with all sorts of directions to help Christians navigate the treacherous waters between the buoys of singleness and marriage, and I know of none that is more clear, concise and helpful than With One Voice.

J. Ligon Duncan, III Ph.D.
Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church

With One Voice is clearly written and God-centered. Our eighteen year-old daughter just read it and restrained herself from underlining nearly the whole thing!

Dr. Bruce A. Ware
Professor of Christian Theology
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
