Tim Challies, a self-employed web designer, is a pioneer in the Christian blogosphere, having one of the most widely read and recognized Christian blogs. He is also editor of Discerning Reader, a site dedicated to offering thoughtful reviews of books that are of interest to Christians.
Review: I have received a review copy of Tim's book and have made a quick skim of its contents. I found this book to be very readable and, in general, deliberately concerned with what the Scriptures teach as opposed to merely what Tim Challies thinks. Because of this, I believe that many Christians will find this to be a welcome addition to their reading lists. That said, I do not think, nor do I imagine that Tim would want us to think, that in this book the subject has been thoroughly exhausted. Rather, I hope that this little book will encourage others to pick up a Bible and pen to further the discussion of this vitally important spiritual discipline.
I hope that you will, at least, take the time to read up on today's Q&A with Tim at SharperIron.org and join the conversation.
