Follow the River

James Alexander Thom

Great, great book!
I'd read this book once before, a long time ago, and it blew me away then. I know that the author took some literary license, but to know that Mary Ingles went through nearly the same ordeal is incredible to imagine. It's amazing what mankind can endure and still ...

Courageous (The Lost Fleet, Book 3)

Jack Campbell

Ace, 2007

ruffled around the edges
Though extremly well written and graphically depicted beyond all expectations, i did find that much of what happens in the book must be simply accepted. For instance, HOW BIG are some of these ships, compared to actual objects, foot ball stadium? and is there ...

Courageous Leadership

Bill Hybels

Zondervan, 2002

"Hybels-Haters" need to read this. I think it would help them shut their mouths.
I have lived an hour south of Willow Creek most of my life. My father, a pastor, goes there almost weekly to get refreshed and then drives the hour home with new ideas from the Holy Spirit. We are both saddened by the vast numbers of people who criticize Hybels and ...
