Rating Description |
|
This book contains theology that is inconsistent with the Bible, or has key arguments that are primarily built on extra-biblical sources, or is too poorly written to be valuable to the contemporary Christian. It is strongly recommended to invest your study and reading time in other, better works. |
|
|
The theology in this book is somewhat inconsistent with the Bible, or has key arguments that are heavily dependent on extra-biblical sources, or is poorly written. It is recommended to invest your study and reading time elsewhere. |
|
|
This book contains acceptable theology overall but can fall short at times, or leans upon extra-biblical sources a bit too much, or has a writing style that is distracting, or contains main points that are somewhat unchallenging. Read with caution and discernment, if you choose to read at all. |
|
|
The doctrine and theology in this book is largely sound and biblical (in our opinion), is well written, and contains material designed to challenge the Christian to godly living. A strong recommendation to read, and probably to acquire, this book. |
|
|
The doctrine and theology in this book is very sound and apparently biblical, is very well written, and contains valuable and challenging material. A "must read" and "should own" recommendation. |

From the Disclaimers Page:
Everything on this site represents one person's or another's personal opinions. Please understand that people differ in opinions and that everyone is entitled to have one (or more). Be respectful of the person even if you dislike their opinions. Sometimes being exposed to "new" ideas is healthy, even ideas we do not agree with so long as we evaluate everything biblically and make sound judgements as a result.
Given the limited amount of time we have to work on articles and to investigate material, we may find ourselves endorsing a book, idea, or doctrine that appears biblically sound but is authored by an individual with a less-than-acceptable lifestyle, ministry, or general base of theology. Since we cannot know all there is to know about the ministry of others, all the various materials others have authored, or even their public or private lifestyle, we will only attempt to review what we have read. And it will happen that sometimes we will endorse some material from an individual while rejecting other material they have produced. Test all things you read, we all make mistakes.
Finally, never take any rash life-changing action based on what you read on this site. First you should independently verify the accuracy of what you read. Then you should seek the Lord in prayer concerning what actions to take. Finally, consult an abundance of personal counselors to ensure a wise outcome. The opinions provided on this and other sites can be valuable, but they are not "inspired" (in the sense that scripture is inspired), so please be discerning and thoughtful before you act on what you read.
