Timothy Keller

Dutton Adult, 2008

Reasonable
At last, here is a crisp intellectual reply to the challenges raised by secular, humanist and atheistic thinkers against Christian doctrine and belief. Tim Keller addresses their most common and pointed questions in an eloquent, firm and thoughtful way. Best of all, he does so without the rancor, sarcasm and arrogance that have typified so many of the challengers themselves. He invites people ...

You Can Heal Your Life (Gift Edition)291 reviews
Louise Hay

Hay House, 1999

Love this Book, Great Affirmations
Louise Hays books are very positive and uplifting. I love the affirmations in this book. I do believe that the mind's beliefs can manifest in the body. Whether or not it manifests from these certain beliefs into these certain parts of the body I am not sure. In any case the "gift edition" of the book is beautiful and it reminds me to be positive, believe that I am valuable, and helps me ... 		  
  







  
  
What In the World Is Going On?: 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore38 reviews
David Jeremiah

Thomas Nelson, 2008

What In The World Is Going On?
This was an outstanding read, in a clear, and compelling prose on what God's heart is for Israel along with the dramatic Bible prophecies that will unfold in the last days. Most interesting was David Jeremiah's ability in examining and explaining the trends around the world, exhibiting our day through the lens of the Scripture. All the while describing Jesus' uncondidtional love and compassion ... 		  
  







  
  
The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith10 reviews
Timothy Keller

Dutton Adult, 2008

A Must-Read from Keller
I can not recommend highly enough Tim Keller's The Prodigal God, which was just published this past week. The book is both easy on the eyes at 160 pages (an easy afternoon's read) but challenging to the heart. Keller takes us back to Jesus telling the story of the Prodigal Son, but he reminds us that "prodigal" does not mean "rebellious" or "wayward" but rather lavious and "recklessly ...

Keeping Faith149 reviews
Jodi Picoult

Avon, 2008

Picoult is excellent
Picoult is an excellent writer and develops her characters better than anyone I've ever read. The story moves quickly, and is fiercely entertaining. This book makes you think, and wonder, and question. Picoult has a gift for picking these types of topics. Her books are long, but she researches her subjects well to give you a full taste of the topic, but she lets you make your own mind up. The ... 		  
  







  
  
Born Country: How Faith, Family, and Music Brought Me Home2 reviews
Randy Owen, Allen Rucker

HarperOne, 2008

Terrific Book....Even better than I expected !!!
I want to say first off I have been a big fan of Alabama ever since 1979 when I first heard 'My Home's In Alabama' so I had extremely high hopes for this book and I wasn't disappointed at all...as a matter a fact it's even better than I could have imagined. The book starts out with Randy going for his morning drive around Lookout Mountain to start his day.....His and his daughter's dogs all go ... 		  
  







  
  
Led By Faith: Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide7 reviews
Immaculee Ilibagiza, Steve Erwin

Hay House, 2008

Written by an Angel
God bless Immaculee! I have read all her books and got one signed at a conference in Phoenix. Being in this woman's presence is truly a gift. Ilibagiza delivers a message that is as strong as her mountain of faith, yet the truth of what she endured is almost too horrible to comprehend. I recommend Led by Faith to anyone who works with survivors of war trauma. Read it to learn about the power of ... 		  
  







  
  
Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom31 reviews
Jerry Boykin

FaithWords, 2008

a great read
This book kept me awake during a loooooong international trip last week. Boykin is a real modern-day hero who took hits from both outside (arm nearly blown off) and inside the USA (from the president himself). Well written, easy to read, inspiring, honest. 		  
  







  
  
Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith120 reviews
Rob Bell

Zondervan, 2006

READ THIS BOOK!!
Before I decided to read this book my friends kept telling me, "If you're comfortable with your faith, don't read this book," to which I replied, "If you're comfortable with your faith then something is wrong." If we don't challenge our faith, then how will we ever develop spiritually? That's exactly what this book is about: challenging and questioning our faith. Bell takes us into the ... 		  
  







  
  
Reasons to Believe: How to Understand, Explain, and Defend the Catholic Faith30 reviews
Scott Hahn

Doubleday, 2007

"Powerful Reasons -- Powerfully Expressed"
The term "apologetics" is often viewed negatively. Because of its etymological roots, many people view the word synonymously with "apology" in the common sense -- a labored defense of something done wrong, or a justification of that which cannot be justified. As practiced by certain individuals of disingenuous character, where beliefs are attacked either based on a false presentation of facts ...

The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason837 reviews
Sam Harris

W. W. Norton, 2005

Anti-theism without explicit atheism plus 9/11 causation revealed
Although he doesn't say so, Harris appears to be an atheist, most certainly in the sense that he does not believe in any traditional gods although towards the end of this book he seems to ascribe to the mysticism of consciousness in a manner consistent with eastern Buddhism. However Harris seems to assert a physical understanding of that phenomenon but maybe open to a naturalistic possibility of ... 		  
  







  
  
Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir233 reviews
John McCain, Mark Salter

Harper, 2008

High recommendation
This book is an inspiring read that is both honest and open as well as compelling. I highly recommend it as a reminder of the sacrifice made by so many who serve our nation in the military, as well as a door by which to better understand what make Sen. John McCain who he is. It is one of those books that you don't want to put down. 		  
  







  
  
Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict between Faith and Reason43 reviews
Russell Shorto

Doubleday, 2008

A beautifully written and fascinating history
DESCARTES' BONES is so well written and such a fascinating read that I'm almost intimidated to write a review for it. This author obviously worked very hard, or has a natural way with words -- or both. It was fascinating to learn the extent to which Decartes has impacted our world, and fascinating to learn that people had battled over his remains. As an Argentine-phile I have known for quite ...
