I have long believed that the talent and areas of focus of Jay Richards are a lethal combination, and from his 2009 masterpiece on Money, Greed, and God (reviewed here) to his frequent scholarly endeavors around the morality of economics, Dr. Richards has few bigger...
The lion's work of my multi-year project reviewing all of the post-financial crisis books which I felt warranted review is long past, and my focus now is on my own work on the subject, targeting a 2017 release. The high volume of post-2008 books came...
My dear friend, Brian Mattson, a Christian apologist and thinker in is own right, alerted me some time back to a book he had received a preview copy of that deeply impacted him. When my group of inner circle friends shares a book recommendation with...
