Book Reviews Index The intent of these book reveiws are to expose you to some of the commentary of the various authors and to create interest for further study.  They are not intended to be complete summaries of the works, but merely excerpts to create a hunger for further exploration.  I have tried to pick out key Christian literature that any serious Christian might want to be informed about.   The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Revival of church life always brings in its trail a richer understanding of the Scriptures.  Behind all the slogans and catchwords of ecclesiastical controversy, necessary though they are, there arises a more determined quest for him who is the sole object of it all, for Jesus Christ himself. . . .In the last resort, what we want to know is not, what would this or that man, or this or that Church, have of us, but what Jesus Christ himself wants of us."  p. 35 The City of God St. Augustine One city is that of men who live according to the flesh.  The other is of men who live accordng to the spirit. The conclusion is that, in the everlastign City, there will remain in each and all of us an inalienable freedom of the will, emancipating us from every evil and filling us with lasting happiness, unclouded by the memory of any sin or of sanction suffered, yet with not forgetfulness of our redemption nor any lost of gratitude for our Redeemer. Pilgrim's Progress John Bunyan "Now I saw in my dream, that by this time the pilgrims were got over the Enchanted ground and entering into the Country of Beulah, whose air was very sweet and pleasant, here they heard continually the singing of birds.  In this country the Sun shineth night and day."
