The Christian Soldier
Book Review
Anybody who is somewhat familiar with Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ) knows of his skill in expounding the Scriptures. This last summer, I felt the need to level up personally on what it meant to Be Strong in the Lord and fighting our Spiritual fight, and MLJ was the first place I turned. He brought new clarity on our spiritual armor in a way I never have had. I will need to read this book again to fully absorb it.
Some of MLJ's illustrations and cultural references are out of date, but that is not the majority of the book. Also, there are portions of his exposition when he brings a huge amount of Scripture to bear to the point where he seems to have lost focus on the original passage. That, I know, is more of a stylistic opinion.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
