Author Interviews

Os Guinness is the author of nearly twenty books, the most recent of which is The Case for Civility: And Why Our Future Depends on it. Guinness was kind enough to answer several questions I posed to him after the publication of this latest title.

Discerning Reader reviewer Leslie Wiggins recently completed an interview with Nancy Cobb who co-authored How to Get Your Husband to Listen to You.

Discerning Reader: Would you please share a little bit about how God brought you to faith in Jesus?

J. Mark Bertrand is author of Rethinking Worldview, a recent release by Crossway. He was kind enough to answer some questions from Discerning Reader's Mark Tubbs.

Discerning Reader: Why did you choose to write a book about calling?

To coincide with recent reviews of two of his books, Mark Tubbs took the time to interview Bill Farley.

Discerning Reader: It's been ten years since the release of your first book, For His Glory. Has anything happened in these ten years to encourage you that the evangelical Church is waking up to God's ultimate purpose?

J. Ed Komoszewski and Robert Bowman recently co-authored Putting Jesus in His Place, a book Discerning Reader reviewer James Anderson says is "The most comprehensive, up-to-date, and readable defense of the deity of Christ available today." Komoszewski and Bowman were kind enough to answer some questions about this new book.

Discerning Reader: Why did you feel the need to write this book? Don't evangelical systematic theologies do an adequate job of presenting the exegetical basis for the deity of Christ?

Voddie Baucham is author of Family Driven Faith and recently spoke with Discerning Reader's Colin Adams about his new book.

Discerning Reader: Pastors are often passionate about the importance of their church family, but It seems increasingly rare to find them equally enthused about their family-life at home. Where has your passion come from?

Dave Harvey is the author of When Sinners Say "I Do," recently published by Shepherd Press. He was kind enough to answer some questions about the book and about marriage posed by Tim Challies.

Discerning Reader: Why did you write When Sinners Say "I Do:?

Douglas Wilson is author of the recently released Letter from a Christian Citizen, a response to Sam Harris' bestselling Letter to a Christian Nation. We asked him about this book, the popularity of atheism and the best responses to it.

Discerning Reader: It seems clear to me, even if I just look at the books rolling off the presses these days, that atheism is gaining in both popularity and credibility. Do you agree with this assessment, and if so, to what do you attribute this surge?

Today marks the release day for Shopping for Time, the new book by Carolyn Mahaney and her daughters Nicole Whitacre, Kristin Chesemore and Janelle Bradshaw. The authors were kind enough to answer a few questions from Discerning Reader reviewer Leslie Wiggins.

Shopping for Time offers a unique approach to time management. Would you share the story of how the idea for this book evolved? How did you know such a book was needed?
