Looking back

Catching up on high-quality books about politics, faith, and culture | Marvin Olasky

These catch-up notes start with a book published in 2008 but still relevant: William Owens Jr.'s Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts (iTouch) shows how President Obama denigrates the civil-rights movement by linking it with gay rights; how he is pro-abortion, although abortion kills a higher percentage of black children than any others; how he opposes school choice, even though one study showed that almost nine out of 10 black Americans would send their kids to private school if they received vouchers.

Other books I'll mention on this page were all published in 2009. Max McLean's Unleashing the Word (Zondervan) has valuable how-to lessons on the public reading of Scripture. Among them: Use stronger readers (not just any elder in proximity) to read, have him practice the assigned text aloud at least eight times, and find the passion. Jim Belcher's Deep Church (IVP) is a discerning response to typical weaknesses of both traditional and emerging churches.
