  • Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl

    Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl (Reviewed 11/12/2009)

    If you’ve never ridden on one, a tilt-a-whirl is an old carnival ride where you have these wild turns and spins that sometimes make you smile, sometimes take your breath away, and sometimes make you nauseated. On the whole, it’s an enjoyable jaunt, but after a while it seems like you keep going around ...

  • A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

    A Million Miles in a Thousand Years (Reviewed 9/29/2009)

    “Nobody cries at the end of a movie about a guy who wants a Volvo.” That single insight, from the first page of the book, effectively distills the wisdom of 288 pages down into one sentence. In A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, Donald Miller writes of how collaborating on a screenplay based on his life ...

    Fearless (Reviewed 9/8/2009)

Is it possible to live without fear? Max Lucado says we can fight fear, and learn to live without its ...

  • The Noticer

    The Noticer (Reviewed 5/4/2009)

    Perspective. When you’re facing a crisis, having someone tell you that you need “perspective” sounds trite, simplistic, and/or offensive.  You don’t need perspective, you need what’s wrong to be right. However, once you gain perspective, you look back and realize it ...

  • Billy

    Billy (Reviewed 2/4/2009)

    Billy Graham remains one of the most iconic figures of our age: a man who has loved & devotedly followed Jesus Christ and worked his entire life to make Him known, while keeping his integrity & humility intact.  Any book that shared his early life & crisis of faith would be a worthwhile read. Or so ...
