Reviews by Scott Weldon
Fearless
On 9/8 Scott Weldon wrote: I have to admit that it’s been awhile since I read a Max Lucado book. Earlier in my ministry life I read several. And while I enjoyed them, to me they came to represent in part what was wrong with the church in general: namely, an overly simplistic approach to the Gospel; Christianity-lite. I know ... Book Review: Fearless by Max Lucado
Higher Hope
On 5/28 Scott Weldon wrote: My apologies to the folks at Thomas Nelson. I agreed to review the occasional book for them and have been fairly prompt in the past. However, this latest book caught me at a time when reading a novel was pretty low on the priority list. So, even though the book isn’t all that “new”, I’ll offer ... Book Review: Higher Hope (a bit late)
Christianity in Crisis: The 21st Century

I mean, you can’t say that the Bible is not Christian enough, right? And for the most part, ... Review: Word of Promise Next Generation - New Testament
The Unseen
On 12/5 Scott Weldon wrote: First, a confession. I read novels. I know it’s a waste of time. I know I should spend my time reading more theology books, more great classics, more “useful” stuff. But I enjoy getting lost in a really good story. Helps take my mind of the stresses and strains of day to day life, ministry, etc.And ... Book Review: The Unseen (a novel)
The Truth About You
On 11/19 Scott Weldon wrote: Well, my career as a book reviewer may prove to be a very short one indeed. Thomas Nelson Publishers offered to send me the occasional book for free if I would read them and post reviews of them. Sounded like a good deal, but I’m afraid the first choice of books may prove to be the end of this endeavor. ... Book Review: The Truth About You
