The Sufficiency of Scripture
In a day of rife apostasy, many seek answers to why the family and the church are disintegrating. Some look to psychology, others to philosophy and some to history. This book looks at personal, family and church revival in light of the sufficiency of Scripture, a doctrine for which many were once martyred, but that has largely been abandoned by the church today. This book is a summary of the doctrines that are plainly revealed in God's Word which have been obscured or deeply entombed under the rubble of man's traditions and pragmatism. Many of today's Christians are almost scripturally illiterate-instead of thorough study to know God's heart, we read passages to support our own agenda. But when we really search diligently, setting aside man's opinions, and delve into what God actually says, we find that God has provided comprehensive wisdom for how to build our family, raise our children and run the church. Revival starts with you! Reformation must continue! If you care about your personal sanctification, your family's faithfulness and your church's effectiveness and relevance, this book is essential reading.

It’s no secret that the church is struggling and so are the families in it. We struggle with apathy and division. Programs and plans designed to excite teenagers about the church or create better leaders hit the market all the time, but all too often, the best and most effective answer book is left behind. The Sufficiency of Scripture is based on the “fundamental doctrine� that God’s Word is sufficient to guide and instruct our personal lives, our homes and our church. And guess what? It is! Joseph Stevens takes a detailed look at each of these aspects and uses the Scripture to outline what our lives, homes and churches should look like.
This book was given to me by a visiting speaker at our midweek Bible study. I don’t remember what we were talking about, but something made him reach into his backpack and challenge me to read this book. Dad asked to read it first and liked it so much we ended up reading it as a family during family devotions. After reading it as a family, it got tucked back onto the bookshelf for a while. Recently, I have found that it is a great go-to book when questions come up about how a church should be structured or what a Godly family looks like. I highly recommend this book.

Very important book which covers topics on personal, family and church revival. The author does an excellent job of explaining why Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura) is the foundation and standard for all areas of life.

I love how Mr. Stephen uses Scripture first, and then uses commentary and his opinion to explain his points and draw from the Scriptures, leaning heavily on the Word of God itself.
