I have read many of Lloyd-Jones' works and they seem to get better and better. As a Christian, I have come to see that the Church (me included) is robbing herself of experiencing the glories of the first-century Christian Church and no longer providing a pure shining light to a world lost in hopeless darkness. In addition to that, the Church seems to be so far away from what it originally was when she began. The chapters on "Singleness of Heart," "Gladness," and "Rise Up and Walk" are incredible! Martyn Lloyd-Jones opens our eyes to our need and invites us to find the original, untainted Christian Church thriving in power and love. If this is your hope, then do not hesitate to read this book!

As the world become crowded with opinions and alternative voices in almost all aspect of our life, I find this book very refreshing as He brings us back to the events among the 1st century Christians. Based on the book of Acts 1-3, the verse by verse exposition will definitely encourage and strengthen us in our search for real Christianity in the midst of a crowded world. Let Martyn Lloyd Jones speak to you personally and powerfully as you look for an authentic voice in a crowded world!

I (or the powers that be) left out an "is" in the last sentence of my review. I would appreciate a correction.

Thanks!

Lucidly, entertainingly, and meticulously, Wallace dismantles popular notions of Chaucer and (more importantly for medievalists) of the traditional division between the medieval and the early modern worlds. By tracing Chaucer's interaction with "Trecento" authors, he charts the poet's interest in a society organized around "associational forms" (the model for this is Florence) versus one structured around a single and despotic ruler (the model for this is Milan). Although many chapters focus on specific tales, Wallace does a great job of reading across all of Chaucer's works to argue his point, and the book moves in a natural progression through various themes and dialectics. (I'm thinking here of two chapters in particular: "Powers of the Countryside" and "Absent City.")

In sum, for anyone who wants some good beach reading, you should buy this book and cancel your trip. Wallace's meditation on Chaucer serious and important; it should not be taken lightly.
