Satire is a kind of preaching. Satire pervades Scripture. Satire treats the foibles of sinners with a less than perfect tenderness. But if a Christian employs satire today, he is almost immediately called to account for his "insensitive" and "unloving" behavior. Yet Scripture shows that the central point of some religious controversies is to give offense. When Christ was confronted with ecclesiastical obstinacy and other forms of arrogance, He showed us a godly pattern for giving offense.

Easy Chairs, Hard Words offers an honest look at difficult passages in Scripture. Presented as a series of fictional conversations between a curious young Christian and a seasoned pastor, these dialogues speak with clarity to those new to the Reformed faith. They begin with the question, "Can salvation be lost?" and from there wrestle with other hard-to-swallow doctrines, including the freedom of the will, election, and original sin.

In this short audiobook on childrearing, Douglas Wilson points out that we have a Father who delights in us and makes it easy for us to love and obey him. If that is the kind of Father we have, shouldn't we earthly parents do the same? Wilson explains how parents should not just try to get their kids to obey a set of rules or to make their house so fun that following the rules is always easy. Instead, he calls for parents to instill in their kids a love for God and His standards that will serve them well all their days.

Father Hunger is a thoughtful and timely excursion into our culture of fatherlessness, what Wilson calls “the central malady of our time.” Central because it is the cause of so many of the ills we face - everything from atheism and crime to joyless feminism and paternalistic government expansion - but most important because of the effect it has on families, children, wives, and husbands. Bottom line: when fathers are checked out, left out, or ruled out, it hurts literally everyone.

Publisher's Summary

Even though America is fiercely divided between the left and the right and protests are becoming increasingly violent, both sides of the political aisle remain committed to secularism and increasingly to looser standards of sexual propriety.

If we want to understand contemporary American culture wars, we must first come to grips with the culture wars of the 19th century. In this book, Douglas Wilson explains how our nation's failure to remove slavery in a biblical fashion has led us to many of the quagmires we find ourselves in and until we grapple with issues like racism, hate speech, and the biblical position on slavery, we will continue to repeat the same mistakes our ancestors did.

This collection of essays lays out the answers from a view unafraid of historic, biblical orthodoxy, as well as addressing some of the controversies surrounding the previous edition of the book.

I highly respect Doug Wilson!

I truly enjoyed this book. Nevertheless, there is still so much more to discuss. Doug Wilson is by far one of my favorite pastors. He is very thoughtful and careful about information that is communicated. There were parts of the book that shed light on slavery in Haiti versus the US that I think unintentionally diminished the role the United States played in it's participation of the mistreatment of African human beings. While it is clear that Doug Wilson strongly opposes Southern slavery and their unbiblical actions towards Africans. The comparison left me thinking, "At least we weren't as bad as the other guys!" I do not believe that it was Doug's intention to leave me feeling that way, but given the overall context to which the comparison was made, I had no other choice. All in all, excellent book! I could see Doug's sense of humor throughout the book, but I also saw the passion for God's people to be far more biblical and less emotional about life.

insightful from a counter-cultural perspective

Very interesting read, thanks to the author for Godly insight into a perspective that woefully few people even consider. Several repetitions on sentences or paragraphs, but good narration.
