Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

John Eldredge

Thomas Nelson, 2006

No man should miss this book
This book is extremely insightful. It is invaluable to men in todays society who have not been taught how to be men. It is a must read. However, it is just about as good for women, especially mothers of young boys. It can help them to understand why little boys must ...

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 ...

Your Life In Christ: Foundations of Catholic Morality

Michael Pennock

Ave Maria Press, 2008

Inspirational Book
Michael Pennock has done it again--he brings morality to a fast-paced contemporary world. Truly inspirational.

Escape

Carolyn Jessop, Laura Palmer

Broadway, 2007

Page-turning, Disturbing
Jessop's ESCAPE is a haunting trip into the secret sect of FLDS (Fundamental Latter Day Saints). It tells her story of being a plural wife to a man many many years older than she was...a marriage arranged by her father for the betterment of his career. This book ...

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Christopher Moore

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Lamb
Entertaining, provocative, fun to read. The story of Christ told in a very different and amusing fashion, still escaping sacrilege. Have given several as gifts to friends who have also thoroughly enjoyed the book!

Massacre at Mountain Meadows

Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Open & Honest = Superb Scholarship
After I read this book I attended a book signing where all three authors were present. Apart from signing the book, they gave a 45 minute lecture. Richard Turley informed the audience that when Ronald Walker was approached, 7 years ago, to begin work on this book, he ...

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.

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.

Jesus of Nazareth

Pope Benedict XVI

Doubleday, 2007

Sublime
This book is not so much a traditional biography per say but more of a biographical critical study. What made me buy it was an interest both in its subject and its author. The Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, is a figure who greatly fascinates me. He's a master's master and a ...

Encountering Jesus in the New Testament

Michael Pennock

Ave Maria Press, 2003

Excellent
The book arrived earlier than expected. It was in very good condition & package.

Challenging and groundbreaking
This is a must-read book for those of us who are tired of talking and ready for action. Crouch works through the story of humans as presented in the Bible to show God's work in developing human culture, whether it be words, omelets, art, government, or relationships. ...

The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volumes D-F: The Romantic Period through the Twentieth Century ...

W. W. Norton, 2005

Excellent Resource
I ordered this book for my literature studies and it is an excellent resource or English poetry, prose and literature. Not only was it more economical to order from Amazon, but it came sooner than expected. If you want one of the best companions for lit, this it the ...

The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore

Deepak Chopra

Harmony, 2008

Conscious Love
What I like most about any book that Deepak writes is his depth of wisdom and his committment to living a contemplative life. One clear sign of this wisdom is his appreciation and agility in being able to contemplate his subject from multiple points of view. Thus, ...

Victory Over the Darkness: Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ

Neil T. Anderson

Regal Books, 2000

"The truth will set you free"
I read The Bondage Breaker a few months ago, and I picked up this book after reading it. However, I decided to put it away and read it later on, in a time where I'd need some spiritual uplifting, revelation and/or affirmation. Well, that time was now, and after going ...

The Case for Faith: A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity

Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 2000

THANKS
I have just had a daughter. I try to have "my" own opinion about GOD because I would like to give it and teach it to her. That's my why. Thanks to this book I am again very interested in GOD and I don't feel I am silly. There are good and clever reasons for being a ...
