Endorsements

I have found these readings to be clear, accurate, well-chosen, and personally stimulating, covering the topics appropriately. I highly recommend this book.

Spirituality without understanding is not faith; it is superstition. In 5 Minute Theologian, Rick Cornish serves up reader-friendly and character-enriching insights. I strongly recommend these highlights of classical Christianity. I want to send copies to my children and grandchildren!

Rick Cornish, with his 100 essays, makes it easy for us to keep God’s Word on our hearts daily and gives us the tools to discuss the deep things of God.
