The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name 165 reviews
Sally Lloyd-Jones
ZonderKidz, 2007
Beautifully Illustrated Childrens Story Bible
Each Story selected tells of the coming Redeemer Jesus Christ. My toddlers love this book. One that has been worn through because of their love for it. They often just sit and turn the pages. I read it cover to cover and was so impressed with Jones' writing and understanding. I've given the ones with CD's as gifts and will for years to come!

Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine163 reviews
Wayne Grudem
Zondervan, 1995
So thorough
I've never taken any theology classes and am using this in my first one at church. It's so well-referenced and outlines ideas in a clear manner. The size is daunting, but it covers a lot!

The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb99 reviews
R. Crumb
W. W. Norton & Company, 2009
This was a great book
I loved this book more than I thought I would. I must say that though I've seemingly read Genesis a million times I actually learned even more. When you have pictures to go with the events it just paints a much fuller picture in your mind and gels the events together that much more.
The only really glaring problem I found was that Crumb wrote and drew the story of Joseph being sold into slavery ...

The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith104 reviews
Timothy Keller
Dutton Adult, 2008
Easy enough for a 10 year old, deep enough for a 30 year old
This book revisits the well-known story of the "prodigal"/lost son and presents it in a way many have never thought of. The second part of the book is much more insightful than the first. The greatest part of this book is that the principles Keller teaches is simple enough for a 10 year old to grasp, yet it still can stimulate the mind of a 30 year old.
Having grown-up in the church, ...

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations133 reviews
Alex Harris, Brett Harris
Multnomah Books, 2008
Really enjoyed "Do Hard Things" from Amazon
It was a good inspiring book. I work with kids in the school system and unfortunately many of the programs that the teachers have for the students to do don't teach them that they need to work hard and they can accomplish things...instead it's all about students rights, lowering expectations, the harshness of forcing kids to work even on summer vacations. It's no wonder they are getting low ...

The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming115 reviews
Henri J. M. Nouwen
Image Books / Doubleday Publishing Group, 1994
The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming
This book was enlightening and life changing. It's a wonderful, and I believe, accurate picture of Who our heavenly Father is: I think that God is often and very unfortunately inaccurately/insufficiently portrayed by our churches and elsewhere. The challenge is to become like our Father as Nouwen suggests. (I tried it at my workplace)! thank you so very much for making this book available at ...

Shepherding a Child's Heart295 reviews
Tedd Tripp
Shepherd Press, 1995
Don't let the bad reviews hinder you.
I had a very strong willed 6yr girl who would yell, scream, kick, hit, bite... I say "had" because through loving and controlled, yet consistent, firm spankings, she is now so much happier, more peaceful and respectful. Spankings do not occur as often because she knows that breaking rules do hurt, it hurts as children and as adults when we break them. I tried everything else to help her, loosing ...

Unmerited Favor3 reviews
Joseph Prince
Charisma House, 2010
The Full Gospel as preached by St Paul ??
One may get amused by Pastor Prince's Singaporean accent. Or by his homespun jokes or his youthful appearance... But the content of his preaching is no joke. Whether one agrees with his theology or not, every Christian needs to examine these ideas very carefully. The reason is that what Pastor Joseph Prince preaches may be the closest to the full Gospel taught by St. Paul. Just re-read and ...

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal610 reviews
Christopher Moore
Harper Paperbacks, 2003
Funny and Touching
If you don't know your Bible, you will find it funny. If you do, you'll find it hilarious. It is oddly NOT irreverent. In fact, it is a beautifully written story in the voice of Jesus' best friend from childhood. I am a pastor, and I recommend it to all my friends.

Windblown Media, 2007
He Loves me
This is the best book I have ever read second to the bible. It opened my eyes to a new way at looking at how much God loves me.

How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth 101 reviews
Gordon D. Fee, Douglas Stuart
Zondervan, 2003
Immensely Helpful
This book was immensely helpful. Even growing up in an evangelical church, reading scripture was never covered at more than a very elementary level. Why this book is not particularly advanced, it is much more broad and deep than most of what I had previously encountered on my walk. The most helpful section for me was the section on the Pentateuch. This gave me a much better understanding of ...

The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible586 reviews
A. J. Jacobs
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Took the local subway instead, just to stretch reading time...
A.J. Honestly, one of the best books I have read. Not only did I have a blast reading it, but learned so much from it. The only regret I have is not having properly thanked God for having your book to entertain me while riding a packed NYC subway all those times and having an enjoyable ride.

Practice Resurrection: A Conversation on Growing Up in Christ
Eugene H. Peterson
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2010
There is no question that bringing men and women to new birth in Christ is essential. But, argues Eugene Peterson, isn?t it obvious that growth in Christ is equally essential? Yet the American church does not treat Christian growth and character formation with equivalent urgency. We are generally uneasy with the quiet, obscure conditions in which growth takes place. Building maturity in Christ is too often relegated to footnote status in the ...
