Our current culture seems to be increasingly divided on countless issues, including those affecting the church. But for centuries, theological disagreements, political differences, and issues relating to church leadership have made it challenging for Christians to foster unity and love for one another. In this book, author Tim Cooper explores this polarization through the lives of two oppositional figures in church history: John Owen and Richard Baxter.

Conflict with a Christian brother requires other brothers
Revisado: 08-04-24
It seems that there was no one to bring the two men together and no one who was strong enough and had the love to try and help them reconcile. I strongly admire Owen and have a bias for his writings and personality. Baxter in my opinion was the one more in the wrong. It seems that Baxter refusal to use words, his own words to define his position on certain doctrines and was hard to handle. I feel that Baxter was hard hearted and viscous to Owen. I don’t think I would have wanted to be in Baxter’s Church. I’ve read his book the “Reformed Pastor” and think it would have been hard to be under him. I don’t see gentleness or compassion but a harder man than I would trust myself too. However I don’t know Owen well personally yet his doctrine is spot on and accurate most precious. All that being said it is sad that these two great leaders who I have leaned from couldn’t get along and had no happy ending. May the Lord help us to live peaceful with all men.
What I take from this book that we must work to understand each others past and work to accurately portray each others position. We must try and understand each others goals and fears so we don’t assume the worst. We must assume the best in love and try hard, work with utmost effort to find the good and focus on that most and gently work on what might be wrong. We must be humble our self to the possible outcome of our own wrong thinking and positions. God help us!

For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing--including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people. And contrary to what we hear from media “experts” about today’s “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency,” reality has proven Epstein right.

For the love of all that is good read this book. Alex lays it out how necessary it is that we fight against those who are against the good of humans.

In his debut book, researcher and advocate Wade Mullen introduces us to the groundbreaking world of impression management - the strategies that individuals and organizations utilize to gain power and cover up their wrongdoings. Mullen reveals a pattern that accompanies many types of abuse, almost as if abusers are somehow reading from the same playbook. If we can learn to decode these evil methods - if we can learn the language of abuse - we can help stop the cycle and make abusers less effective at accomplishing destruction in our lives.

Opinions of men
Revisado: 12-22-22
This book is based on the opinions of men. It has little to do with Gods Word and is tilted towards a liberal bias. The writer agrees with much of the zeitgeist and rhetoric of the world. While not everything he says is wrong it is not written from the perspective of Jesus Christ and His Word. Mullins views digress significantly from wisdom of the Word. Later he gets political speaking against Trump by saying his “fake news” phrase is abuse. I don’t recommend this book. Bully Pulpit is a far better book on abuse in the Church.
