The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)

Rick Riordan

Miramax, 2006

Another Harry Potter
Fans of Harry Potter will love this! It may be for children, but I enjoyed this book ALOT!! Good story plot & it will test your knowledge of Greek legends & mythology.

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)

Rick Riordan

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

Blayre H. (age 10)
"This book is about a little boy named Percy Jackson, who is a half-blood -- part god (one of Triton's sons) and part human. In this Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy is trying to save the half-blood camp, where all of the little half-bloods go; from a boy named Luke, ...

Acheron (Dark-Hunter, Book 12)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Wow I just Love Ash
This one was worth waiting for. Splitting it into two parts was a terrific idea. The first part broke your heart as Ash's former life is revealed, and the second part was just what you could hope for, sexy Ash and a terrific love for him. Definitely get this one. ...

Their Eyes Were Watching God

Zora Neale Hurston

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006

Their Eyes Were Watching God
Please read this book! I'm serious! The writing is pure poetry, with fantastic images that will stay with me forever. Also, the historical value cannot be exaggerated. The author, Nora Neale Hurston, gave us a tremendous gift.

The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins

Mariner Books, 2008

Truly Honest Review ~ Yes I Read The Book
It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide ...

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 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 ...

The Shack

William P. Young

Windblown Media, 2007

Excellent
The most thought provoking book I've ever read. Completely brought to light an excellent understanding of God's plan for our lives and His purpose and intentions for us as human beings. Clearly explains that separate from Him, we are subject to our limitations. ...

He Loves Me! Learning to Live In the Father's Affection

Wayne Jacobsen

Windblown Media, 2007

I've been a Christian for 40 years...
I think this author has been living in my head! He has opened Bible story after Bible story to show me a loving God in a new light. I sense that this amazing relationship is what I have been longing for and looking for in all the wrong places. The problem has not ...

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

Francis Chan, Danae Yankoski

David C. Cook, 2008

Are You Ready to be Challenged?
Don't read this book if you find yourself satisfied with comfortably floating along through life - believing that your faith and relationship with God is in a semi-decent place. God, Francis Chan argues, will have none of it and, ultimately, deserves far more. The ...

The Namesake: A Novel

Jhumpa Lahiri

Mariner Books, 2004

Fun to read
The story, in general, was about the lives of Bengali migrants, how they fit in their new surroundings, and how their children reacted to Bengali traditions and customs. It is quite similar to a few other books before it. But The Namesake is written well and reading it ...

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

Christopher Hitchens

Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group, 2007

Untitled, Sorry.
I've absolutely loved everything Christopher Hitchens has said about religion in this book and everything else he's had to say about religion before and after. He's a brilliant man who's done his homework. But I think the title is misleading because I don't think ...

The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, Book 3)

Gena Showalter

HQN Books, 2008

Love this author!!
I have come to love this author! She has a great mind, and I'm looking forward to each and every one of her books! I highly recommend reading this one.

The Scourge of God: A Novel of the Change (The Sunrise Lands)

Rudi MacKenzie continues his trek across the land that was once the United States of America. His destination: Nantucket, where he hopes to learn the truth behind ...

Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes

Edith Hamilton

Grand Central Publishing, 1999

A classic introduction.....
I remember being captivated by this book and its stories when I was in the 5th grade. I recently bought it for my 5th-grade daughter, when she started reading the "Pendragon" series, so she would have a better understanding of the mythological references in that ...
