Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life by: Bob Goff

Most people want to live incredible lives. We want to make an impact and change the world. Bob Goff is one of those people. He wants to make an impact on the world, and, in fact, he is making an impact in the world. In his book Love Does, he wants to show the reader how to be incredible. Even though the subtitle of the book is "Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World," this book does not offer the reader five…See More

SOUL PRINT by: Mark Batterson

The classic Christian statement of faith asserts that “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” Jesus’ Great Commission calls Christians to spread Jesus’ gospel by making disciples of Jesus whose transformed lives are used by God to make an impact for time and eternity. The display of that glory and the potential impact that results comes through Christ-followers who live their unique lives for those purposes. And that is often the struggle, because there is such pressure…See More

Nearing Home by Billy Graham

All my life I was taught how to die as a Christian, but no one ever taught me how to live in the years before I die. I wish they had because I am an old man now, and believe me, it’s not easy,” so starts Billy Graham in his new book, Nearing Home. Lily Tomlin says, “If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” In some ways, Billy would agree and even more shows us how. With his authentic transparency about the impact of aging and grief, with a solid…See More

More Lost than Found

He looks to answer many issues of the Christian faith that the majority of young adults that have left the church are feeling today.He covers topics such as what is pain, is it okay to question our faith, technology, embracing our Christian heritage and past, our bodies, why God gave us imaginations, and several other…See More

Love, Sex, & Happily Ever After

I have read parts of The Christian Atheist, and this was my first introduction to Craig Groeschel. So when I saw the opportunity to review Love, Sex, and Happily Ever After, I jumped right on it. I didn’t immediately dive in, but after a few false starts, I found it worthwhile, and it wasn’t until I finished that I figured out why I struggled with it.The wildly successful founder of LifeChurch.tv and author of six books, writes about himself and his various false starts in love before using his…See More

THE LOVE & RESPECT EXPERIENCE

I would like to congratulate Dr. Eggerichs for creating a ‘simple’, low-key approach to a couples’ devotional. The thing that I found in The love & Respect Experience was that it wasn't just activities to complete together, lengthy study questions, or the presence of any ‘bare my soul’ conversation starters. While it is true that I am not married, I am engaged and have done many different things with my fiance. They all seem to be 'do this' or 'do that' things that are just what I call BUSY…See More

Floyd mixed in a good bit of personal stories to illustrate each of the points made throughout the book.  Floyd then goes on to challenge the reader to accept the urgency of the Great Commission.  He gives a few ways how we all can be apart of helping fulfill the…See More

BOOK REVIEW OF: NO HE CAN'T by: Kevin McCullough

It doesn't matter if you are a supporter, or totally against President Obama, 'NO HE CAN'T' is a book you will definitely want to take a look at. This book is one that is well written. I don't necessarily agree with the approach that McCullough took in writing this book, but I do feel that he did his research, and he did respectfully show his findings.This book is an outstandingly written, and will keep you thinking. I have always been one to enjoy learning about others views, and seeing where…See More
