Five Cities That Ruled The World (Reviewed 11/13/2009)Doug Wilson has written a very interesting book from the perspective of five cities... Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and New York. Each chapter contains the history of each city and their influence on the world.I should point out that this is not a comprehensive world history book. It obviously ...

Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World (Reviewed 9/30/2009)I'm not very fond of watching most "Christian" TV preachers. There are just a few that I enjoy hearing their teaching and David Jeremiah's Turning Point is one of them. So I was delighted to review his latest book which is a stand alone "follow-up" to his book What In the World is Going On?.In the ...

It Happened In Italy (Reviewed 9/9/2009)I'm a little late reading and reviewing this book, only due to a busy summer. It is the story of a young American woman who comes across a picture taken during WWII in her family's Italian hometown and the unexpected road it leads her down... changing her life and others.Like most people, I had no idea ...

Fearless (Reviewed 9/8/2009)Max Lucado is one of my favorite authors. I have always thought it rather silly that some people think his writing shallow and not very theological only because his writing is quite beautiful and well loved by many people.This book reminds me again of his ability to combine easy-to-read prose with an ...

Jungle Jack's The Wackiest, Wildest, and Weirdest Animals in the World (Reviewed 6/6/2009)I had a feeling I'd like this book as I love to watch Jack Hanna's TV shows and I enjoy reading about animals. A serendipitous timing in the review of this book came about by its' arrival while there were young children staying in the house.We all loved this book. It has colorful pictures of the animals ...

The Principle of the Path (Reviewed 5/27/2009)Andy Stanley has written an excellent book about a simple premise. One we should all know deep down inside but so often think we are exempt from... that being where we are now is a result of the path we have taken by the decisions and choices we have made in our life.Reading it is like sitting down ...

The American Patriot's Bible (Reviewed 5/6/2009)I've been using this Bible during my quiet times to see how I like it. My Bible I use the most is a Thinline NIV with no extra notes as I tend to get distracted easily and start reading the notes instead of the Word!However, I do have a nice collection of study Bibles I can go to for in depth study ...

His Name is Jesus (Reviewed 4/20/2009)This is a gorgeous book! I normally am not "into" gift books as I find them often to be... shall we say... less than deep. However, I enjoy Max Lucado's writing so I chose this book to review from Thomas Nelson.As I usually do when a book is delivered, I stop what I'm doing to look through it. Most ...

The Great Eight (Reviewed 4/8/2009)I didn't know what to expect from this book but I accepted it to review as I always enjoyed watching Scott Hamilton skate.It turned out to be a very interesting and motivating story of how Scott has grown as a person and a Christian through the adversity he has had to deal with starting in childhood. ...

The Unseen (Reviewed 1/27/2009)I had mixed emotions about this book. I didn't like the first part of it as I found the plot very confusing. I just didn't "get it".However, as I came to the end of the book and saw where the author was taking it, then I thought it a very good story. Kind of like... The Matrix, that's it... where ...

Moon Shines Down (Reviewed 11/18/2008)This is the first book I am reviewing for Thomas Nelson and what a book to start with! It arrived just as I was leaving to pick Christopher up from work on Friday and I was able to peruse it while sitting in a warm car with the engine running (as it is still not starting from time to time) and a cold ...
