Russell D. Moore: Courage to Stand (2020, B&H Publishing Group) 4 stars

Review of 'Courage to Stand' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

An excellent book, with much that is needed for thoughtful, honest Christian life against a backdrop of confusion about what it means to be a Christian, especially against the backdrop of pervasive "means-to-an-end" Christianity - Moore points back to the reality that our lives are the means, and the end is Christ Jesus...not the other way around.

The one weakness of this book is its persistent attachment to the framing device of Elijah at Mount Horeb -- while that's a good reference point for some of the principles in this book, others leave an impression of being squeezed into the suitcase of this story, jammed just a bit noticeably out of shape to fit in there.
