Building Belief: Constructing Faith from the Ground Up
I would highly recommend this book for anyone seeking to find truth in religion.
Meister is very good a bringing difficult concepts down to the rest of us who don't live in ivory towers.
On top of that, I love the way Meister asks his readers to "use" his book rather than just "read" his book. And he gives both sides of the story regarding religion - which, to me, is paramount when trying to ...

Growing Slowly Wise: Building a Faith that Works2 reviews
David Roper
Discovery House Publishers, 2000
Another great book by Roper.
Growing Slowly Wise is a great study of the book of James and helps to explain the apparent contradiction of Paul's writings with that of James' in regard to faith and works. As Paul would say (Romans 3:28) we are not saved by works, but by faith and faith alone; whereas, James states that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. This apparent contradiction has bothered me ...

Fearless: Building a Faith That Overcomes Your Fear1 review
Cheri Fuller
Fleming H. Revell Company, 2003
Fearless is Convicting!
Fearless - is Cheri at her finest. She draws on a storehouse of personal experiences about her own fears. She'll have you laughing and crying over her stories about fears that paralyze you vs. those that tie knots in your stomach. I can't think of a fear she doesn't cover: from car phobias to health issues, public speaking, panic attacks, disaster, rejection, snakes, etc. You'll find victory, ...

Attention-grabbing devotions for children
Children watch movies over and over again, so why not use some of those movies to help them grow in faith! Grab their attention with a short clip of a popular movie. Follow that with the well-written, age-appropriate Devotion questions as a catalyst to life changing conversations about faith in God. Best part is the author chose movies that are most likely in your own home video/dvd collections.

It couldn't just happen: Faith-building evidences for young people 1 review
Larry Richards
Word Pub, 1989
Your children believe everything you say when they're little...
In order for a book to be trustworthy, it has to be based on solid facts. However, this book starts off with blatant errors in even the most basic science and then goes downhill from there. At some point, your children will become educated enough to see those errors. And then what will happen? Will they start to question the conclusion that God and His Son do indeed exist? Find a better book. :) ...
