Willing to Believe
I’ve just finished R.C. Sproul’s Willing to Believe: The Controversy over Free Will, a clear and balanced presentation of the different views that Christians hold on Free Will. Sproul, of course, prefers the Reformed view, and at a number of places he tries to answer the objections posed by other views. But his critique of […]

Built to Last
I’m almost halfway into Collins and Porras’ business book: Built to Last. I like their idea about the “Genius of the AND,” as opposed to the “Tyranny of the Or.” So, for example, in the matter of profits – profit is not everything, but “a reasonable profit is right, but not too much.” So a […]

Democracy on Trial
Just a few more pages and I’m through with Bethke Elshtain’s Democracy on Trial. I guess the long and short of what I’ve learned from this books is that – … human beings will always fall short of an absolute ideal… “the only reasonable hope for salvation from evil and wickedness at which men might […]

McKim) The Constitutional Philosophy of Philippine Jurisprudence (subtitled The Writings of Senior Associate […]

John Stott
I only recently came to know that Evangelicalism’s elder statesman, “Pope” John Stott has retired at the age of 86. I add my small voice from the Philippines to the torrent of thanksgiving pouring out from all over the world for the ministry of this great and wonderful man of God. Many years ago I […]

Os Guinness on Truth
I’m presently rereading Os Guinness’ Time for Truth (Baker Books, 2000) a small but very important book. I’m convicted by it to do my best to seek the truth, speak the truth and live the truth. “The discipline of living in truth is urgent today because modern life reduces community and accountability to its thinnest, […]
