Beth Moore

Monarch Books, 2002

Awesome writer
I first became aware of the vibrancy of Beth Moore's teachings at my church's women's group. What an awesome teacher of God's word she is,and this book did not disappoint me. Beth takes a look at the life of Paul, from his birth, conversion from a zealous Jew to a humbled Christian, and the missionary journeys he undertook in Christ's name and brings them to life on these pages. She has a way ...

Living Buddha, Living Christ

Thich Nhat Hanh

Riverhead Hardcover, 1995

A Vietnamese Buddhist calls westerners back to Christ
While this book may serve as an introduction to Buddhism for Christians, its strongest message is directed at western Buddhists. Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh urges them to go back to their spiritual roots - to their Christian or Jewish traditions - and find there the message of the Buddha. "Buddhism," the Vietnamese Zen monk reminds us "is made of non-Buddhist elements. Buddhism ...

All-star lineup doesn't disappoint
Hot on the heels of his much-anticipated scholarly work The Future of Justification: A Response to N.T. Wright, comes this latest John Piper volume, a year in the making following the Desiring God national conference of autumn 2006. Reading like an all-star roster of missional reformed theologians, the table of contents whets the reader's appetite: Piper, D.A. Carson, Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll, ...

wonderful Biblical truths!
This book has awesome revelations about healing. We bought a number of them so we can share them with people who are seeking truth about healing from the Lord. I'd recommend this highly!!

Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana (Christ the Lord)

46 reviews
Anne Rice

Knopf, 2008

Why do we need THIS Jesus?
It's almost a high-school literature teacher's joke: Divine 1st person point of view. Any literary person worth their salt knows the only kind of omniscient point of view is 3rd person (or 2nd, in the extremely rare case of Augustine's Confessions). But Anne Rice blithely jumps those literary tracks (as she jumped another, from vampire lit to theography) in order to give us the 1st person ...

Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt: A Novel

295 reviews
Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 2008

Powerful
She built her reputation writing books about vampires and witches, exploring her own faith as her characters wrestled with timeless themes of good and evil. Now Anne Rice has taken on the story of Christ himself. Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt is a novel written as a first-person account by Jesus of his very early years. In an afterword Rice details her research -- the years she spent studying ...

The Imitation of Christ (Dover Thrift Editions)

Thomas à Kempis

Dover Publications, 2003

All Jesus
This book changed me. It taught me to stay away from anything that will hinder my faith and to follow Jesus with all my heart and soul and mind. Even though I'm still in the process of reading it, it changes me every day. Thomas A Kempis is the most devoted person I have encountered and I pray that many more people will be changed by this inspirational book. It taught me to be all about Jesus ...

Christ and Culture Revisited

1 review
D. A. Carson

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008

An Orthodox Paradigm
How shall Christ and Culture interact? The question is universal. From Christians hiding in China, to the power and majesty of Catholicism, to the Moral Majority in America, to the reclusive Amish communities in Pennsylvania, the Church has struggled with the correct understanding of how faith applies to local context. For years, various groups have fit themselves into one of H. Richard ...

Outstanding
This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to know more about why someone would choose to believe in Christianity.

John R. W. Stott

InterVarsity Press, 2006

Great book on penal substitution
John R.W. Stott is an Anglican clergyman from Britain. In 2005, he was purported by Time magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World." He has written some 50 books, and The Cross of Christ was called, by its publisher, InterVarsity Press, "The work of a lifetime, from one of the world's most influential thinkers, about the heart of the Christian faith."

The Case for Christ for Kids

4 reviews
Lee Strobel

Zonderkidz, 2006

Get those kids started on their own faith early
I appreciate the fact that Lee Strobel and Zondervan are marketing a very good book idea to both teens (the "student" edition) and children. We sometimes take for granted that our kids are not thinking people, but they really are. The information presented here is, in simplest form, the same basic information Strobel originally wrote in the adult book. But cartoons, graphics, and an ...

Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: A Conversation in Spiritual Theology

23 reviews
Eugene H. Peterson

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2005

Christ Plays In 10,000 places
A wonderful book with many new insights into God's interaction with his people. Concrete examples of daily living for God. God can only relate to us as humans by using the exact time, place and method of His Creation...as planned by Him. Once we realize that we were created to interact with God, only through His Creation, many avenues of understanding come into play. God is there. He ...

Christ-Centered Preaching,: Redeeming the Expository Sermon

19 reviews
Bryan Chapell

Baker Academic, 2005

AMAZING!
I love this book! It is by far the best book I have ever read on preaching, Chapell explains expository preaching in a light that few authors can. He puts all of the focus on Christ and how the audience needs to hear about Jesus. If you are looking for a book to revive your preaching look no further.

The Imitation Of Christ (Hendrickson Christian Classics)

14 reviews
Thomas a Kempis

Hendrickson Publishers, 2004

Landmark of Spiritual Growth
Thomas' work is a call to the experience of God in the tradition of medieval spiritual writings. He calls the reader to the disciplines of obedience, humility, and self-denial. If we suffer in this world, we are only to take it as a reminder that our hope and our reward are not here (I.12). We should avert ourselves from the pleasures and conceits of this world to focus on silence and solitude ...

The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold

249 reviews
Acharya S

Adventures Unlimited Press, 1999

In Defense of this Great Book
Acharya is a scholar well-versed in comparative religion, mythology, and classical antiquity. The evidence she sites, together with her piercing yet surprisingly restrained commentary, prove unequivocally that Jesus Christ is a myth founded on previous myths. Her passage on "The Myth of Monotheistic Judaism" is fascinating, proving conclusively that early Judaism was, in fact, polytheistic ...

The Case for Christ (Pack of 6)

24 reviews
Lee Strobel

Zondervan, 1998

An excellent introduction to Christian Apologetics!
This book is an excellent introduction to Christian Apologetics. It presents some basic arguments in favor of Christianity in an easy to read and understand format. While I am sure he interviewed critics during his initial research that led to his conversion, he does not present them here because as the title says, his book presents the basic "Case for Christ". Strobel is not a theologian, and ...

Thomas a Kempis

Penguin Classics, 1952

Miracle
This is not a review of the book per se (just got it, have not read it yet), but thought I needed to share this. Book arrived with another book (a textbook) in the usual Amazon box, each laying side by side. It was left out in the rain for most of the day by the local carrier until I brought it inside. The entire box was soaked and ruined, tape fallen off and box literally gaping open, all of ...

Fulton J. Sheen

Image, 1977

A String of Pearls...
Maybe you are of an age that you remember when the Venerable Bishop Sheen was on the television? I am not one of those people. Maybe you know about Bishop Sheen being an "old" preacher, and maybe that concerns you? It concerned me. But under the guidance of someone I trust I purchased this book 3 years ago and read it. It is a string of perfect pearls! Each chapter deals with one ...

Insightful
Very insightful and thought provoking. Made me question many of my views and my perspective of other Christians.

Living Buddha, Living Christ 10th Anniversary Edition

Thich Nhat Hanh

Riverhead Trade, 2007

Noble Effort
This will be short because I haven't finished reading the book yet. But, the first 4 chapters are very stimulating. I would recommend anyone thinking about Peace and "getting wisdom from more than one religion" and "making an attempt to understand oneself"and "decreasing the suffering of humanity" read this book. Recommended. boland7214@aol.
