READ: June 2020 RATING: 6/10 Summary: This book is worth reading. It was difficult for me to rate because I disagree with the premise that some…

Discipling By Mark Dever
RATING: 3/10 Summary: I was very disappointed with this book. I respect the ministry of 9Marks and really wanted to like this book, but it was my least favorite discipleship book in recent memory. The book is unable to recover from Dever’s very broad definition of discipling which is, “Doing deliberate good to help someone follow Christ.” As a result, I’d recommend both pastors and everyday Christ-followers skip this book.

The Fisherman By Larry Huntsberger
The Discipleship Gospel By Bill Hull & Ben Sobels

RATING: 10/10 Summary: Skinner has done a great job capturing who Dawson Trotman was as a person and leader. It has pictures, excerpts from his journals, and accounts from those closest to him. The result is a biography that has some real balance. It's not a hagiography like other books about Dawson and those like him. This book is inspiring, challenging, and well-written.
