Book Reviews
Mission Under Scrutiny, by J. Andrew Kirk, is reviewed by Michael Doe. 'He repeatedly assaults the contemporary idea that all individuals have the right to construct their own world... Despairing of those, including many in the Churches, who assume that the only worthwhile goals are Western-style democracy, consumerism, and an ultra-liberal faith, he turns to the growing, joyous, and prophetic Churches in the South.'

'Saddam's Secrets: How an Iraqi General Defied and Survived Saddam Hussein, by Georges H. Sada with Jim Nelson Black, is reviewed by Joe Jenkins. 'Arguably the single most extraordinary feat of survival is that achieved by a plain-speaking Christian general who served in Saddam Hussein’s air force... He attempts to convince a now sceptical world that Saddam had a well-defined, if chaotic, intention to develop nuclear weapons and hold the world to ransom.'

Worth Noting
As we outlaw discrimination so we need discernment: Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Times (London) Credo column. 'The devices and desires of the human heart need to be set in order. Against the magnetic field of distorted desire, there must be set the greater and counterbalancing magnetic field of grace and goodness, which for Christians is the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life.'

Like, see what I'm praying?: Christopher Howse writes in the Telegraph (London) on liturgical language.
