Wild Goose Chase: Reclaim the Adventure of Pursuing God

Mark Batterson

Multnomah Books, 2008

Wild Goose Chase review
I want to begin by stating that Mark Batterson, the author of the book, is a man I hold in high regard. I respect him and would one day love to go to DC and meet him and his church. When I opened this book, I was hoping for some high theological answer to the ...

Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell

Three Rivers Press, 2003

Loving What Is...in this book! A Psychiatrist sings highest praise for The Work of Byron Katie.
As a Board Certified Psychiatrist who uses The Work Of Bryon Katie in my practice, I can say that after 23 years of learning and doing psychotherapy with people, I have found nothing faster or more powerful to recondition the mind/brain than The Work. It is deceptively ...

The Da Vinci Code

Dan Brown

Anchor, 2006

Elitist Criticism Aside, It's Genius
Loathed by elitist literary critics, wannabe highbrows and religious conservatives, The Da Vinci Code is by any measure a work of genius. To dismiss it as pop drivel is to overlook the fact that countless writers are striving to produce catchy pulp fiction that will ...

Includes a Useful Dictionary of Catholic Terms.
The Fireside Bible (ISBN:1556654901) is a nice copy of the New American Bible (NAB) for Catholics, and it includes some very useful supplimental appendicies. Because of its thick cover, the bible itself is quite durable by bible paper standards. There is no ...

The Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God: Their Meaning in the Christian Life

A. W. Tozer

HarperOne, 1978

Anthropomorphic!
AW Tozer is the best at anthropomorshism, which is the abilit to explain the unexplainable in terms understandable. This concept is almost beyond reason but after reading "The Knowlege of the Holy" I have experienced it. This is the best book for those wanting to ...

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself (New Harbinger/Noetic Books)

Michael A. Singer

New Harbinger Publications/ Noetic Books, 2007

Thank You Sir
I've read my share of spiritual guidance from D.T. Suzuki right on up through Eckhardt Tolle, and I've also sat before a number of today's popular teachers. There is nothing else like this to be found. It's the keys to the castle... an instruction manual detailing ...

Holy Bible: New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Lockman Foundation, 2008

Great for the Kindle
This review will simply address the mechanics of this version of the Holy Bible in regards to the Kindle. I will refrain from any comments regarding the nature of the translation, leaving that for those far more learned than myself. I have downloaded several Kindle ...

Two Lives of Charlemagne (Penguin Classics)

Einhard, Notker the Stammerer

Penguin Classics, 1969

1,200 years old
Looking at the three 'one-star' reviews this book has received, I would point out they are all written in the same style, are close in date and look suspiciously like they were all written by the same person. Yes, this is a wonderful primary source. With ...

The Supernatural Ways of Royalty: Discovering Your Rights and Privileges of Being a Son or Daughter of God

Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton

Destiny Image Publishers, 2006

Profound Revelation For Our Generation
Outside of the scriptures, this is the most significant book that I've ever read. Incredible insight into the truth of the word of God, and His heart for mankind. Kris is transparent about his own life journey. This book is the fruit of a life yielded to God's ...

Inquiry Into Life

Sylvia S. Mader

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2004

Not bad...
I am using this book as part of an online class so the book is my teacher as well. It is a pretty good book. Although at times it explains things a little too complicated for my taste, it wouldn't be bad if you have a teacher to help explain things to you.

The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004
