The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

Timothy Keller

Dutton Adult, 2008

A masterful and clear explanation of Christianity
Not a complete explanation of God, of course. But it must be one of the most clear and comprehensive ones. The author relies heavily on the Christian writers C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. But he does not ignore the opposition. Timothy Keller also very clearly ...

Mere Christianity

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Mere Christianity
I've been a Christian basically all my life, and had up to this point, never read anything by C. S. Lewis. Now having read "Mere Christianity", I'm completely baffled as to why I waited so long. C. S. Lewis' style is very conversational, intelligent, and spiritually ...

The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical

Shane Claiborne

Zondervan, 2006

Rated 5-stars by The Spiritual Reviewer
"Christianity," says author Shane Claiborne, "often has offered little to the world, other than the hope that things will be better in heaven." This statement appears on the first page of the book, and it's a big clue that Shane isn't spinning a newer, fresher version ...

Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith

Jon Krakauer

Anchor, 2004

Krakuer takes a different direction
I truly enjoyed Into Thin Air. Under the Banner of Heaven was completely different subject matter. I found this no less engaging, Krakuer again draws you in with nothing more than what it is, a great story needing to be told.

Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom

Jerry Boykin

FaithWords, 2008

Few others could have told this story
I'm a bit biased as I served in the same unit as the author although at a later date, but this is a proud and extraordinary account of one man's career in Delta Force and his strong personal faith. LTG(R) Boykin seemed to be a magnet to our nation's most sensitive ...

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

Donald Miller

Thomas Nelson, 2003

Blue Like Jazz
This is a book well worth reading. It is appropriate for late teens and early twenties since it covers life in a university. It has a great spiritual depth and we have used is as the basis of study in a small group of men. I recommend it highly.

The Language of Medicine

Davi-Ellen Chabner

Saunders, 2007

excellent book
I am using this book in a veterinary science class because the teacher feels that it is the best med term book out there. Obviously, many of the terms do not apply and the diagrams are of humans, but the layout of each chapter is clear and the exercises at the end of ...

The Shack

William P. Young

Windblown Media, 2007

The Shack
The Shack I love it, Could not put it down, recomended it even to strangers. Founded myself shocked, surprised, with anwsers to question I did not know I had, understanding some things much better than before. And it is not a religious book, it is just a simple ...

You Can Heal Your Life (Gift Edition)

Louise Hay

Hay House, 1999

You Can Heal Your Life
This is a life changing book. I recommend it to anyone who needs some positive influence or needs to learn how to be more positive.

Reasons to Believe: How to Understand, Explain, and Defend the Catholic Faith

Scott Hahn

Doubleday, 2007

"Powerful Reasons -- Powerfully Expressed"
The term "apologetics" is often viewed negatively. Because of its etymological roots, many people view the word synonymously with "apology" in the common sense -- a labored defense of something done wrong, or a justification of that which cannot be justified. As ...

The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 1998

The Case for seriers is great.
1 July 2008 - Great Book...a friend gave me this book years ago but after reading The Case for a Creator I read it and thought it was amazing. It was the abridged version.

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2007

For the casual reader and the avid fan alike
This is a beautiful book, and from my experience, you will not find it in stores for less than $60. It was delivered on time, in perfect condition, and cost a lot less (including shipping), than it was in stores. This makes a beautiful gift or addition to a personal ...

Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith (Cover Image May Vary)

Rob Bell

Zondervan, 2006

Has a helpful, impactful Christian message
Bell writes enthusiastically about his Christian faith and ministry. Although this book may read like a stream-of-consciousness trope at times, it is well-measured and often insightful and revelatory. Bell shares personal anecdotes from his own faith journey and ...

The Faith: What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It, and Why It Matters

Charles W. Colson, Harold Fickett

Zondervan, 2008

Clarity
Colson takes the psycho-babble of the so called fair minded critics of religion and shreds it. The Faith: Given Once, For All, is a clear statement of Christianity and how it is attacked.
