holier than thou jackie hill perry review

As a junior army leader, Westmoreland was average to slightly-above. Westmoreland is a fascinating figure illustrating the Peter Principle: people in hierarchical organizations (like the military) often rise to a level beyond their competence. My review can be found here.įor non-theological non-fiction, Lewis Sorley’s Westmoreland: The General Who Lost Vietnam was my favourite of 2021. It’ll give you a sharper perspective on God’s holiness. It’s not only beautifully written, but also theologically sound. I really enjoyed Jackie Hill Perry’s sophomore effort, Holier Than Thou. If you’re dealing with intellectual questions about the truth of the Christian faith and need some help, check out this one. Michael Kruger’s Surviving Religion 101 is an apologetics book pitched at university students, but it’s so well-written that it deserves a much wider audience. It’s not an easy read, but those who stick with it get valuable insights into the sexual zeitgeist. This is the most important book published in 2021. Top marks go to Carl Trueman for The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self.

On the flip side, there’s some stiff competition for best reads. It’s supposedly a classic my edition is from a series entitled “Masterworks of Literature.” However, Walden takes pretentiousness and self-indulgence to nauseating depths. I only endured about a third of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden before I gave up. The worst book I read in 2021 I didn’t actually complete.

There were some unexpected disappointments and there were some that were just mediocre. It’s not easy picking this year’s stinker. That includes at least 30 theology-related titles, with a variety of fiction and non-fiction making up the rest. It was a good year for my reading tally: I didn’t keep accurate track, but I know it was at least 40, and perhaps even over 50 books. It’s time for my annual run-down of the literary heroes and zeroes I’ve encountered.
