What's He Really Thinking? (Reviewed 9/21/2009)Ok, next regular book review for the Thomas Nelson Book Review Blogger Program is: What's He REALLY Thinking? by Paula Rinehart. Yep. I read another advice for women by women book. Why do I do this? Well, because I've noticed that sometimes these books are good to recommend to others, and, as a pastor, ...

Fearless (Reviewed 9/8/2009)Most people in American Christianity are familiar with Max Lucado. You may not like him, but you've probably heard of him. He's written or co-written several dozen books that are considered "inspirational" as well as participating in many children's books and projects. After so many books, one might ...

100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs (Reviewed 7/8/2009)From my perspective, as a parent and a pastor: It's a children's Bible story book. It's not a Bible. Given that, the stories will be shortened and simplified. Some of the facts will be omitted, some glossed over. One example that a different reviewer pointed out is the book refers to Moses being happy ...

Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions (Reviewed 6/4/2009)So, let's look at this book. I've done it in a question/answer format, using questions I consider when buying a reference work: First question: Is the author qualified to write a resource book like this? Generally, when I look at a resource or reference book, I want to know if the author is qualified. ...

The Noticer (Reviewed 4/27/2009)I've never heard of Andy Andrews. Really. I don't try to live in a bubble, but UPS wasn't a hotbed of motivational speaking, and the Baptist world is, shall we say, a little over-hero-worship oriented, and he's not a Baptist hero. So, not to be rude, but he hasn't made it into my world. Until now. The ...

Put Your Dream To The Test (Reviewed 4/25/2009)John Maxwell has written several books on leadership, most of which have dealt with developing your ability to lead others and impact the organizations you are a part of in a positive manner. This latest offering is slightly different. Put Your Dream to the Test focuses more on the individual's leadership ...

Christianity in Crisis: The 21st Century (Reviewed 3/28/2009)My next review is of Hank Hanegraaff's book, Christianity in Crisis: 21st Century. This is not the first book that Hanegraaff has produced with the main title of Christianity in Crisis. He wrote a book published in 1993 simply titled Christianity in Crisis. Both books, not surprisingly, deal with the ...

This Is Your Brain On Joy (Reviewed 3/4/2009)Why did I choose to read and review Dr. Earl Henslin's This is your Brain on Joy? I'm pretty sure it was because, at the time, the book review blogger program for Thomas Nelson Publishers didn't have anything else I wanted. However, I'm all about taking on a challenge in a book.I was initially overwhelmed ...

Kiss (Reviewed 1/30/2009)I must admit that I signed on to review Ted Dekker and Erin Healy's novel Kiss simply because I wanted a new novel to tackle, and didn't want to buy one. So, I figured I'd take a free one. Now, some of this will get trimmed in an actual review of this book, but Christian fiction takes a bad rap. People ...

For The Tough Times (Reviewed 1/12/2009)I once had a pastor tell me that he had read some of Max Lucado's books, but found the writing to be 'simplistic' and therefore of little value. Well, this weekend I read Lucado's book For the Tough Times. That's right, it's a nice little book that took just about an hour to read. And I would agree ...
