Tell It Slant: A Conversation on the Language of Jesus in His Stories and Prayers
Eugene H. Peterson

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008

Just as God used words both to create the world and to give us commandments, we too use words for many different purposes. In fact, we use the same language to talk to each other and to talk to God. Can our everyday speech, then, be just as important as the words and prayers we hear from the pulpit? Eugene Peterson unequivocally says Yes! Tell It ...

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 1998

A Journalist's Quest for the Truth
"In light of the convincing facts I had learned during my investigation, in the face of this overwhelming avalanche of evidence in the case for Christ, the great irony was this: it would require much more faith for me to maintain my atheism than to trust in Jesus of ...

The King James Bible (with book and chapter navigation)

Diana Mecum DianaDoesIt.com, 2008

Fantastic Navigation Feature!
This was one of the easiest books to navigate through that I have ever seen because it emulates the hardcopy. In fact, it's better because I don't have to keep paging and paging to get to where I want to read. Instead, each chapter or individual book is just a click ...

The Prophet

Kahlil Gibran

Alfred A. Knopf, 1923

Eight Decades Later: Still Relevant, Insightful and Eloquent
These days, Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" often gets dismissed as "hippie" literature. Yet, this book had been a bestseller LONG before the 1960s. Originally published in 1923, it almost instantly became a hit and even did well through the Great Depression. Today, ...

Searching for God Knows What

Donald Miller

Thomas Nelson, 2004

Eye opening!
What a refreshing view of Christianity! I love Miller's offbeat way of sharing the truth through stories and observations. (He doesn't speak "Christianese".) This book showed me and reminded me of whom Jesus is and was, not the version that was taught in Sunday School. ...

Not For the Fainthearted Christian...What's More Important? "Worshiping" Jesus or Living the Life Jesus Said to Live?
Orthodox believers, the strictly Orthodox, don't need to go here. Or maybe you should--if you are willing to think--to do what the Bible said do, "Worship the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, MIND, and strength. For those who want to think and aren't afraid to ...

Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament

Baker Academic, 2007

A manifesto of love from the beyond
