Red Letters: Fresh Reflections on the Words of Jesus

Revell, 2005

Excellent 5 minute devotional
I have been going thru this book for the last month and it is an excellent book for self study or for small group discussions. There are 7 parts per chapter, one part for each day of the week. There are extra tidbits to reflect on and to increase your knowledge of what Jesus said. A good choice for new and mature Christians. The lessons offered in this book are timeless.

The One Year Book of Hymns

3 reviews

Tyndale House Publishers, 1995

More Than A Devotional
As a devotional, the book is inspiring. How can it not be? The old hymns my parents knew, and taught me to appreciate, hold an appeal unmatched by many of today's choruses. Reading the words of each hymn brings back warm memories of sing-a-longs in my parents church. To read the stories behind the hymns is a profoundly inspiring experience. For the one who is searching for a deeper ...

Angry With God

Pinon Press, 2001

Finally being honest about being angry with God!
You do not have to be a clergyperson to hear the oft-repeated question "Why did God allow this to happen?". Behind the question is often anger with God. The death of a child, an incurible disease, the act of a madman, or the euphamistic "act of nature" all evoke the existential question of "why?". Certainly the past century has offered a full measure of anger towards God as the authors of ...

100 Bible Verses That Changed the World

William J. Petersen, Randy Petersen

Revell, 2001

Great book for devotional reading!
This book consists of 100 short, two-page chapters, each featuring a prominent person and the Bible verse that changed his/her life. The book is in chronological order - the first chapter is about Paul the Apostle and the last is Joni Eareckson Tada. Not all the people in this book are theologians (indeed not all of them are good examples, as the disclaimer at the beginning of the book ...

Men Who Love Too Little

Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1995

Learn to understand the man in your life!
This book discusses the differences between men and women, and then discusses how these differences make men appear to be unloving at times. The second half of the book looks at specific types of men- the angry man, the passive-aggressive man, the commitment phobic man, etc.- and teaches the reader how to understand and have a better relationship. I highly recommend this book for men who want ...

This is great!
Not only do you get to read the psalms... but a nice explaination with each one as well. Very well written... it's worth a lot more than I paid for it!

Serious Tennis

Best tennis book I have
EXCELLENT BOOK !! I have a few tennis books from Vic Braden and Brad Gilbert which are not bad but this book is by far the best. So many club players concentrate only on swinging which is why SMART system is tremendously useful to anyone serious about tennis. For instance, in the past, I never know there is such a great difference of using dominant eye versus non-dominant eye. I now can see the ...

Even if your partner with ADHD isn't an avid reader, he/she might read this book
Do you think your partner might have ADHD, but he or she either resists the idea or you don't know how to broach the subject? Buy this book by Dr. Michele Novotni. Rather than telling someone, "I think you have ADHD," it's usually better to first empathize with and validate the person's experience. This book does that and more, opening the door to the reader wanting to learn more about ...

The Christian Book of Lists

Randy Petersen

Tyndale House Publishers, 1997

Great resource for Sunday School teachers and pastors.
Randy has compiled, with charm and wit, dozens of lists that tickle the funnybone and challenge the mind. From little known Biblical facts (places to eat) to characters (I mean real characters) in the Bible, Randy has covered it all. A great resource for making a point or for getting a chuckle. And a great gift for the teacher or pastor in your life.

Bible Fun Stuff

Randy Petersen

Tyndale House Publishers, 2000

It was Okay.....
I bought this book without skimming through it like I should have. I personally thought it was going to be more "Fun Stuff" and less "Trivia" questions. That aside, I would probably have bought it anyway, but if you don't want "trivia", then you may not want this book (I'd estimate it at 75% trivia questions). At times I felt like I was taking an exam in school. So I would put it down for a few ...

How to Rack up the Miles and How to Cash Them In
This is a good, well- organized guide to frequent flyer and other incentive plans. It's a reference guide, for the most part, full of tables for making comparisons between the different airlines. There are a few sections at the beginning for general reading, but the bulk of the book is meant for reference. I really like the tables in this book, because it's very handy to have a way to make ...

Staying on Fire in a Wet-Blanket World

1 review
Randy Petersen, Ray C. Stedman

Chariot Victor Pub, 1997

Good, but a little lacking
This is one of a series of books about earth science written by Mr. Carroll. He does an admirable effort of integrating the record of nature with the Bible and succeeds on many points. My only disappointment is that he misses several key Scriptures, such as the description of the atmosphere in Psalm 104 and Genesis 1, which could help refute the fallacious canopy theory.

My Truth, Your Truth, Whose Truth?

Focus, 2000

Good Start
This book is a good start for students and teens looking to find help in challenging days with challenging questions. It takes a unique approach with each chapter. They start with a chatroom experience; and then moves on to the daily life of a particular individual; reflections from that person; and then personal challenges. Anyway, I think it's a good approach and will be helpful to a lot of ...

Interesting for adults too
If you like children, this book has many TV-free wholesome activities for the young ones. The dedication is already inspiring: "I'd like to dedicate this book to Mom and Dad, who taught the Bible and lived it out in ways that have brought me much joy." What a blessing this is!

THANK YOU THOMAS, MICHELE AND RANDY!
I am very glad I found this book. At a time that I am upset about my past, confused about the present and hopeful about the future, this book is helping me understand the condition I was diagnosed with - ADD. Having just started my treatment, I was looking for a book that I could use to learn more about ADD. Still having difficulty in focusing and being patient enough to read well, I found ...
