Ignore “The Jesus You Can’t Ignore”: a book review

Here's my official, just over 200 word book review for John MacArthur's "The Jesus You Can't Ignore." I was walking through it chapter by chapter, but it was such a chore to get through the book and I just needed to be done with it that I tore through the rest and produced the final summary.

Chapter three began with the presumption of the problem I discussed in chapter 2. Author John MacArthur again presented the timing of his first cleansing of the temple event as vital to the setting for when Nicodemus came to Jesus in secret.

I had mentioned in a previous post that we were thinking of including Redwall by Brian Jacques in our free-reading list for the boys this year for school. I always like to pre-read anything that we are going let the boys read, just to make sure that it is appropriate for where they are in their development and also to see if the book agrees with what we want to teach the boys, so that if it doesn't, we can be prepared to discuss it with the boys or hold off until they are mature enough to be able to discuss it.
