Green (Reviewed 10/6/2009)I've read quite a few Sci-fi and Fantasy novels over the past 25+ years. I've read good ones, bad ones, and great ones. I've read stand alone novels and books that are part of extended series. All in all, I would estimate that I have read over 500 books in the science fiction and fantasy genre. So when ...

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years (Reviewed 9/29/2009)I am a huge fan of Don Miller's book Blue Like Jazz. I'm not really sure why, exactly, other than it tells a very interesting story about Miller's life and struggles that I could, in some ways, identify with. As much as I liked it, I never got around to pick up a copy of any of his other books. Until ...

Fearless (Reviewed 9/8/2009)"Imagine your life without fear." That's the tag line from the latest book by author and pastor Max Lucado. In Fearless, Lucado draws you in with that invitation and delivers a very thoughtful book and doing just that. In 15 chapters, the author discusses fearful subjects from "Fear of Not Mattering" ...

The Expanded Bible (Reviewed 9/3/2009)This was an interesting book review. How do you go about reviewing not just the most pivotal piece of literature in human history but also the Word of God? Needless to say, it ain't like the other reviews. So, I'll stick to giving you my thoughts on what makes this version of the New Testament "different" ...
OK for study but maybe not daily reading All Reviews for The Expanded Bible

Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage (Reviewed 8/11/2009)Well, this was an interesting book. Aside from the real mouth full of a title, it is chocked full of advice that, if followed to the letter, will lead you to complete and total marital bliss... OK, maybe that's not exactly right. But Rick and Bubba have been at this marriage thing for a little while ...

Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl (Reviewed 7/28/2009)When my wife and I were still dating back in the day, we stopped off at one of those little carnivals that sets up in mall parking lots. We rode several rides (we were too young to think that a mall parking lot carnival would have less than the strictest safety measures...) and then, right before we ...

The Principle of the Path (Reviewed 6/11/2009)I had not read a book by Andy Stanley before. I have been listening to the sermon podcasts from North Point Community Church (in Atlanta GA) for close to a year now. So when I saw this one come out, I decided I'd see if Andy's writing matched his remarkable preaching prowess. I had some mixed feelings ...

Christianity in Crisis: The 21st Century (Reviewed 4/27/2009)Christianity in Crisis: 21st Century is an updated version of Hanegraaff's "Christianity in Crisis" from the late 1980's. The original, as well as the new book, takes the "Word of Faith" movement to task. Hanegraaff has two main points of focus in the new book: exposing the personalities in the Word ...

For The Tough Times (Reviewed 12/29/2008)It's time for another book review. I haven't exactly had a lot of free time to do much reading lately. Fortunately, the most recent book I'm reviewing weighs in at under 100 pages. But don't let the low page count fool you, this is a substantial book. Enough buildup. I'm reviewing Max Lucado's "For These ...

Word of Promise Next Generation New Testament MP3 Set (Reviewed 12/16/2008)"Children's Bible" you ask? Yup. Dramatic reading? Well, more than that really. Is it really good for grown ups? Hmmm, that's a judgment call. What I mean is, I was really glad to have a decent audio Bible during the times in the car and during those times when I'm holding my boy and can't turn the ...

Field of Blood (Reviewed 11/22/2008)There is Evil in the world and it takes the form of the vampire-like Collectors that live on blood and possess living beings (people, animals, insects, etc). The story focuses on a particular set of Collectors who have been waiting at Akeldama, the field of blood where Judas committed his suicide (Acts ...
