October 23rd, 2011

A Year with Jesus by R.P. Nettelhorst is a daily devotional book that is based entirely on the words of Jesus that are recorded in the Bible.  The words of Jesus from a chosen scripture begin the page for each day and that is followed by the words of the author as he gives his insight [...]

Close Enough to Hear God Breathe by Greg Paul

October 4th, 2011

Close Enough to Hear God Breathe by Greg Paul was somewhat of a disappointment for in my opinion I do not think that the author really told me how to be close enough to God to hear him breathe.  The sub title of the book is The Great Story of Divine Intimacy but I felt [...]

Billy Graham in Quotes by Franklin Graham with Donna Lee Toney is a wonderful book for anyone to read from the newest Christian to a retired minister and everyone in between.  When I saw that the book contained the words of Billy Graham I had to read it for I have the greatest respect for [...]

Amazing Love by Corrie Ten Boom

June 18th, 2011

Amazing Love by Corrie Ten Boom is a very uplifting and encouraging book.  I thought it interesting that Corrie called herself a troubadour for Christ. The book consists of twenty-seven chapters and each one is more or less a short story or maybe testimony would be a better word.  The chapters include such things as [...]

The Take Action Bible NKJV

May 1st, 2011

The Take Action Bible NKJV is definitely a different Bible.  It is not the words of the Bible that make it different but the “take action” pages that are inserted throughout the book.  There are fifteen stories of ordinary people who have done one of the five actions—go, serve, give, heal, or teach.  The stories [...]
