My Most Influential Book
What does it mean to "honor" a wicked parent? How do you love an abusive person without opening yourself up to more damage? What happens when you can't forgive and forget? With a few exceptions, I generally write reviews of books I like which means I'm somewhat biasing the overall Amazon rankings. But let me say that of all the books I like or love, none has influenced my life more than Dan ...

Bold Love Discussion Guide
Dr. Dan B. Allender, Dr. Tremper Longman III

Navpress Publishing Group, 1992

IF CHRIST HAD PRACTICED THE KIND OF LOVE WE ADVOCATE NOWADAYS, HE WOULD HAVE LIVED TO A RIPE OLD AGE. We've come to view love as being nice. Forgiving and forgetting. Yielding to the desires of others. Yet the kind of love modeled by Jesus Christ has nothing to do with manners or unconditional acceptance. Rather, it is shrewd. Disruptive. Courageous. And, as a result, socially unacceptable. In Bold Love, Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. ...

Breaking the Idols of Your Heart: How to Navigate the Temptations of Life

Dan B. Allender, Tremper, III Longman

IVP Books, 2007

Great for Bible study or small group
I highly recommend this book. It is broken up in 7 chapters. Each chapter has a fiction vignette style intro to ease you into the subject. The chapters then dive into scripture. Questions at the end of each chapter are very thought and discussion provoking. Not your common boilerplate factual questions. The chapters are not too long to read, maybe 15 pages a piece. We meet once a week for ...

"It is through leading that I've known the greatest need for a deep, personal, and abiding relationship with Jesus."
Leading is never easy--whether it is in business, family, or church. Leading can be a thankless job, and the chances are someone is going to angry with you and might even hate you. "It is through leading that I've known the greatest need for a deep, personal, and abiding relationship with Jesus." To be an effective leader we must face our weaknesses and not hide them.

Encouragement: The Key to Caring

Zondervan Publishing Company, 1984

Spiritual Friendships
Some books age well. Normally that's because they present timeless truth in timeless ways. They avoid dating themselves by wedding themselves to the latest fad or passing fancy. Encouragement is just such a book. It describes the power of timely spiritual conversations motivated by grace and spoken heart-to-heart. This work is the most practical and immediately applicable of the many works by ...

I thank God for this book!
I am so thankful for this book and the workbook. God has used this book, in my life, to reveal things within me that I did not know were there. I now realize that I went through life constantly protecting myself and functioning in a way that was completely unhealthy. My recommendation, to you, is do not pick up this book, unless you truely desire to be healed from the wounds of your past. ...

Insightful guide for living an intentional Christian Life
In his latest book, TO BE TOLD, Dan Allender encourages readers to examine their lives in a search for the story that God is telling through their existence. Allender says we often don't know our own stories because we doubt their existence, dismiss their importance, or we're distracted.

The Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About God

14 reviews
Dan B. Allender, Tremper Longman

NavPress Publishing Group, 1994

very eye opening and relevant
This book was very good reading. It was easy to follow, yet was not shallow or filled with platitudes. It causes one to truly look at the root of one's emotions and deal with them. For too long emotions have been misunderstood. One camp says that they are evil. The opposite camp states that emotions are truth. Both are wrong, and the truth regarding our emotions comes out in this book. I ...

Leading with a Limp
This book and workbook are very helpful. I believe that Christian leaders whether Senior Pastors, Assistant Pastors, Youth Pastors, missionaries, or lay leaders all have a struggle within when it comes to leading. The problem is that many never talk about it to others. Leading with a Limp brings this struggle into perspective and enlightens the passage that God uses the weak things of this world. ...

InterVarsity Press, 2005

workbook review
This series with its DVD introduction for each chapter is a good conversation starter to get people to open up and talk about things that matter. I have used this with over 30 MOPS women during 2 summer sessions. Although scripture is included in each booklet ( a great bonus for women hauling babies and carriers ) the references used by Allendar and Tremper make points that perhaps were NOT ...

Become a Great Parent God's Way
I have enjoyed Allender's books for years. He has the uncanny ability to take a difficult issue and make it understandable through clear writing, personal stories and scriptural references. This book shows how we can reflect the character of God into the lives of our children. Allender explains that our success as parents relate primarily to how we answer a child's two core questions: (1) Am I ...

"Intimate Allies"
I am a Pastor and I give this book as a gift to newleyweds. I have found it to be very down-to-earth, not like some of the "how-to-stay-in-love" marriage manuals, but rather focused on serving together - looking at the larger world together - making your relationship strong by being accountable, etc. I LOVE the "communal" focus, making marriage part of the network of society instead of just "me ...

Leading With A Limp
I ordered this book along with the workbook and found both very helpful. Even though I have been told I am a good leader in my church I have been avoiding leading because I have felt I am not one because I am so flawed. I always thought you only become a great leader when you overcome all of your limitations and mistakes. Was I ever wrong. This book tells you how to take your deep wounds, ...

InterVarsity Press, 2005

Small Groups and the Goal of Marriage Series
We have worked through two books in our small group in this series: The Goal of Marriage and Forgiveness. Each chapter in the series is lead by scripture, has a very short related DVD vignette and a number of questions related to the main topic. The only complaint we've encountered by the six couples in our group is that the DVD segments for each chapter are to short. Otherwise they ...
