St. Paul: Jubilee Year of the Apostle Paul Edition: A Bible Study for Catholics 4 reviews
Mitch Pacwa
Our Sunday Visitor, 2008
Paul's letters: the oldest documents of the Catholic faith
Father Pacwa is a biblical scholar of remarkable depth, but he's also a preacher who can communicate to ordinary people. He has produced something remarkable here: a profound synthesis of St. Paul's thinking on a variety of subjects, but in a form that's digestible for parish groups and home Bible studies. His special focus is the Church's sacraments, but he also touches upon other doctrinal, ...

The World's Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions 106 reviews
Huston Smith
HarperOne, 1991
Had to get it for class, but...
I ordered this book for an ethics class I'm taking, but so far it's an excellent read! The chapters are informative and easy to read - definitely something I would enjoy away from class.

Read before November and after
An excellent resource for faithful Catholic voters during this election year and for others who want to truly understand them.

The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles 207 reviews
Bruce H. Lipton
Hay House, 2008
Where spirituality explains science.
Lipton's book turns our understanding of the world inside out: it is not the DNA inside the cells that controls them, but the interaction of the outer cell membrane receptors with their environment. Starting from what is known and accepted, the author extrapolates to what transcends accepted science. Along the way he presents to the reader a thorough description of cell biology. It is all ...

Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar71 reviews
William D. Mounce
Zondervan, 2003
Best Grammar I have seen
This is the best grammar I have used in my 18 years in the ministry. I have tutored Greek students on occasion and have found this grammar to be the best grammar available. The "inductive" approach is very easy to follow. I highly recommend this grammar as a primary to anyone reviewing their Greek (or secondary grammar to any student) who wants a clear overview of Koine Greek. I use it as ...

How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth88 reviews
Gordon D. Fee, Douglas Stuart
Zondervan, 2003
Too good not to have a copy
The title says it all. If you want to read the Bible for all its worth, you, not only read the book, but have to have your own copy. I borrowed the book from the library and started digging into it. There were many valuable Bible verses provided to illustrate and support the important points of the author's view. In order to gain the most from the book, I would need to go through all of these ...

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality448 reviews
Donald Miller
Thomas Nelson, 2003
Blue Like Jazz
This is a book well worth reading. It is appropriate for late teens and early twenties since it covers life in a university. It has a great spiritual depth and we have used is as the basis of study in a small group of men. I recommend it highly.

The Purpose DrivenŽ Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose DrivenŽ Life, The)1091 reviews
Rick Warren
Zondervan, 2007
Wonderful book
First let me say this is a great book I would recomend it to anyone. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was amazed how misinformed these nay sayers were. One person said that it taught that life is for us to fulfill our own perpose instead of living for God. What the book teachs is that serving God is our purpose. Another person said Rick Warren wrote this book just to make money, I guess he ...

His list of the most frequent doubts skeptics bring to his church - and his answers - results in an inspirational presentation written with atheists, agnostics and skeptics in mind.

Sacred Marriage70 reviews
Gary L. Thomas
Zondervan, 2000
Very Biblical!
My wife and I have gone through the first chapter and answered all the study questions. We both loved it! After doing the first chapter I feel that the principles so far are very biblical. The way Gary Thomas explains marriage helping us become more Christ like is very comparable to the way the Bible explains how trials and tribulations are used to strengthen us, if we allow it. If you are ...

The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever41 reviews
Christopher Hitchens
Da Capo Press, 2007
Of Course, There is no god! How stupid can you be?
Monsieur Christopher Hitchens has performed a necessary intellectual work of mercy. Once humankind desists from its vulgar notion of deity, it can begin the tiresome duties of keeping as much of us as possible alive.
Since we are competently trained in ancient Semitic and Ind-European languages and theoretical mathematics, we twin brothers know who has been doing the heavy lifting of keeping ...

Read "It"
I highly recommend Craig's new book. If we are honest, we all want "it". This book will challenge, encourage and provide great opportunities for all church leaders to get with "it". The stories are great and it makes for a great and very entertaining read.

This book was recommended by a friend. I found it so inspiring and informational that I have since given it to three friends. It really ties in the esoteric with the scientific.
