  • The Expanded Bible

    The Expanded Bible (Reviewed 10/13/2009)

    As a Bible study leader and avid student of the Word, I am always looking for resources that will enhance my understanding of Scripture—The Expanded Bible: New Testament (Thomas Nelson) is definitely one of those resources.  Using a modified New Century Version (NCV) translation of the Bible, scholars ...

  • Fearless

    Fearless (Reviewed 9/8/2009)

    Imagine your life without fears.  It seems impossible with the threats gripping humans here on planet Earth—terrorist attacks, bullies, illness, accidents, and so on.  Fears are only as limited as one’s imagination and those with active imaginations can fear all day and all night.  Best-selling ...

  • Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions

    Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions (Reviewed 5/14/2009)

    Nelson’s Illustrated Guide to Religions (Thomas Nelson, May 2009) doesn’t sound like the makings of an exciting book, but rather a college text book for a class a student was forced to take.  However, this resource is anything but boring and you must (not should—MUST) add it to your book collection. James A. Beverley’s book is ...

  • His Name is Jesus

    His Name is Jesus (Reviewed 5/5/2009)

    Visually stunning!  That’s what I first thought when I flipped through the pages of Max Lucado’s His Name Is Jesus: The Promise of Loved Fulfilled (Thomas Nelson).  The gift book takes quotes and stories from Lucado’s expansive writing career and combines his words with various images, drawings, ...

    The past few days I’ve been following the adventures of a cheeky old man named Jones, who gives the residents of Orange Beach, Alabama a new perspective on life, love, and everything in-between in the novel, The Noticer (Thomas Nelson).  The book is the latest from New York Times best-selling author Andy Andrews (The Traveler’s ...

  • Think and Make It Happen

    Think and Make It Happen (Reviewed 4/2/2009)

    When it comes to self-help books, I’m leery, especially ones that have titles like Think and Make It Happen.  Wow, it’s that easy?  This book by Dr. Augusto Cury claims to be the breakthrough book for “conquering anxiety, overcoming negative thoughts, and discovering your true potential” or ...
