Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
Richard C. Hoagland, Mike Bara
Feral House, 2007
Interesting
I'd like to know the backgrounds of previous reviewers, both postive vs. negative. What kind of a total loser would spend every day online just to attack positive reviews the minute they are posted. Have they no real lives? And if that is not the reason then why not ...

The Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun
Brother Yun, Paul Hattaway
Monarch Books, 2002
Heavenly Man is the book of the year.
The Heavenly Man is one of the best books I have read. It really made me think about how weak my faith is and what God really expects out of us. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a closer walk with God.

The Forgotten Ways: Reactivating the Missional Church
Alan Hirsch
Brazos Press, 2007
Fantastic! Provokes good thinking and self examination!
Alan's written a great reminder: The Truth of the Word is increasingly being hidden from view by the organized church. Unintentionally perhaps, but it's the net effect.
Additionally, the not-yet-Christians have gotten an increasingly distorted view of who Jesus is ...

So Much for Experts!
Mission Accomplished : How We Won the War in Iraq???
The so-called EXPERTS sure fooled themselves and some of the gullible.

Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church
N. T. Wright
HarperOne, 2008
Surprised by Hope
I loved N.T. Wright's newest book, Surprised by Hope. He explores the meat of the Christian hope, what he calls the after-afterlife.
Wright addresses the misconceptions (a.k.a. bad theology) that's infiltrated not just the world (i.e. reincarnation), but also ...

How to Win a Fight with a Conservative
Daniel Kurtzman
Hysteria Publications, 2007
A Really Humorous Book, Just Don't Take it Too Seriously
A friend gave me this book for Christmas this year because she knew how much I enjoyed ranting about politics. While it is not truly a self-help book, and I doubt anyone will win a fight with a conservative by following its directions, it is an enjoyable little ...

Through Gates of Splendor
Elisabeth Elliot
Living Books, 1981
Very Inspirational and Encouraging
This book really makes one question: How much do I truly trust the Lord? What would I be willing to give up should I be called to it? Would I be willing to sacrifice the basic comforts I know and depend on? Would I be willing to sacrifice my life with forethought ...
