The Great House of God: An Invitation to Come in17 reviews
Max Lucado

W PUBLISHING GROUP, 2001

Uplifting and soul searching
I have just finished this book and it was wonderful! Rev. Lucado has a delightful, conversational style that makes for easy reading. It's almost like having your own personal Bible teacher. How often we take the Lord's Prayer for granted! We repeat the words mechanically with little thought to their meaning. Rev. Lucado puts these timeless words in a new perspective, bringing fresh meaning that ... 		  
  







  
  
Fresh Brewed Life A Stirring Invitation To Wake Up Your Soul29 reviews
Max Anders, Nicole Johnson

Thomas Nelson, 2001

A Warm Cup of Java for your Soul
As one of the immensely popular "Women of Faith" conference speakers, actress/author Johnson doesn't need my plug--but she gets it! Her writing is vunerable, deep, and funny. I especially liked her musings about savoring our sexuality (a topic often overlooked or avoided by the Church) and embracing our beauty. Each chapter also includes fun coffee trivia. (Side note: I led a Bible study on this ...

Lois Lenski

Oxford Univ. Press, 1949

A New Connection
I bought this for my "almost" grandson's first birthday. I remember it from my farm and ranch childhood and now it will enchant another generation. It is somewhat "Dick and Jane"--very easy to memorize. Also it is nice to now have the board book for the really little ones. 		  
  







  
  
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride: An Invitation to the Wedding12 reviews
Mark Salisbury

Newmarket, 2005

Great behind the scenes
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RGOOLA3UHIV8J This book is more of a movie companion book than an artbook, although there's plenty of art to look at. The book's divided into 3 parts: Part 1 - Land of the Living Part 2 - Land of the Dead Part 3 - Going Upstairs, The Illustrated Story You know those behind the scenes videos from movie DVDs? This book is essentially that, ...

Angus lost (Invitations to Story Time)10 reviews
Marjorie Flack

DoubleDay, 1966

Everyone is Curious
This is one of three books about Angus, the little Scottish Terrier. He is like many small boys or girls who do not want to stay safely at home, but want to take off and explore the world. Without being terribly scary this story illustrates that sometimes we are not ready to do what we think we are ready to do, and that there are good reasons for certain rules. Angus is very smart and ... 		  
  







  
  
Invitation to Sociology13 reviews
Peter L. Berger

PELican, 1970

Stil a great introduction to sociology of knowledge
Even with bright students (I am assuming some I have had are among the bright) there are problems with this book. It was a required text for my Sociology course in my student days and I have a fondness for what it did to me in leading me on to PB's "The Social Construction of Reality". SCR is clearly too difficult for most students and Invitation is much more accessible. Still, I have found ... 		  
  







  
  
Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness12 reviews
Nan C. Merrill

Continuum, 2006

Spiritually uplifting
This rather loose translation of the psalms makes for a beautiful expression if you are looking for something moving, musical and prayerful. Give it a try if the Psalms are part of your spirituality and also if you don't mind venturing from the usual translations we've been used to for years. 		  
  







  
  
Words from Silence: An Invitation to Spiritual Awakening17 reviews
Leonard Jacobson

Atrium Publishers Group, 1993

Reading to sooth your mind
This author is very poetic and the many of the passages in this book are extremely inspiring. Just reading his writing in incredibly soothing. The author believes that there is a simple way to reach an awakened and enlightened state of mind. Though this sounds appealing to people in our modern fast food/fast everything/instant gratification culture, I feel that this may be a little too ...

Mike Whicker

iUniverse Star, 2004

Erica Lehman
Erica Lehman was a top spy for Nazi Germany. And, yet, she was also beautiful, womanly and passionate.... She was selected to spy on the military works located in Evansville during WWII, where the LST's were being engineered and eventually built that would enable the Brits and Americans and Canadians to attack fortress Europe in mass with massive forces and materials. This is a beautiful ...

So Much More: An Invitation to Christian Spirituality9 reviews
Debra Rienstra

Jossey-Bass, 2005

So Much More and the Joyful Pursuit of Jesus
Debra Rienstra's book, So Much More, left me feeling drawn to Jesus, and drawn in by Jesus. Using startlingly crisp images and subtle humor, Rienstra deftly named longings within me, for connection to the divine, for perspective on suffering, and for intimacy with others. While avoiding 'quick fixes' in the search to satisfy those longings, Rienstra gently pointed me toward the mysteries at the ... 		  
  







  
  
Invitation to the Classics (Masterworks)8 reviews

Baker Books, 1998

For readers of all faiths
This is a wonderful overview of classic Western literature from a Christian perspective. With a wide scope and a clarity of expression, there is likely something that any reader can enjoy and understand within these pages. More significant than any of this, however, is that the book has something that far too many "contemporary Christian" books do not have: fundamental fairness. When dealing with ... 		  
  







  
  
Setting Your Heart on Fire: Seven Invitations to Liberate Your Life10 reviews
Raphael Cushnir

Broadway, 2004

A Bridge Home
This is a simply wonderful book. If you are reading this, you have probably been "searching" awhile and have read more than your share of "self-help" books. This is NOT another self-help book. Also.... if you are reading this... you have probably heard of or read books by people like Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj or Sri Ramana Maharshi (along with more contemporary teachers of what could be considered ...

Charles Slagle

Destiny Image Publishers, 1999

Understanding the Father's Heart
This is a book that EVERY person NEEDS! It will help you make it though the toughest time, the most tender times, and the best of times! It is truly anointed by the Father. It is the first book that I have found that you do not read from cover to cover, you just open it up to ANY page... and the Father is right there speaking into your situation, no matter what the situation is. I highly ... 		  
  







  
  
Making All Things New: An Invitation to the Spiritual Life9 reviews
Henri J. M. Nouwen

Phoenix Press, 1986

One of Nouwen's Best
In this book, Nouwen writes that the key to living a spiritual life is by understanding the difference between being busy and being fulfilled. In our modern life, he writes, "There is always something else we should have remembered, done or said...Thus, although we are very busy, we also have a lingering feeling of never really fulfilling our obligations." The solution is not a change of ...

Thanks and more power to the Author, Margaret Silf She is a gifted Author divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Invitations to a Bridge Burning9 reviews
David Maizenberg

Agony Press, 2000

An Invitation to read great fiction
David Maizenberg's book is much more than a fine collection of short stories -- it's an unintentional treatise on what is wrong with the corporate book-publishing world. For every nonlinear leap and unpredictable twist of thought in these pages, there's a moment of genuine revelation. I don't want to call it spiritual, though it is. I don't want to call it redemptive, though I feel redeemed. I ... 		  
  







  
  
Invitation to Love: The Way of Christian Contemplation8 reviews
Thomas Keating

Element Books, Rockport, Massachusetts, 1992

Invitation to Deeper Prayer
INVITATION TO LOVE is the third of Father Keating's books to deal with Christian Comtemplation, centering prayer and developing a deeper understanding of our relationship to God. This type of prayer, unlike more active forms, enables us to "rest in God's presence" and can help us in our journey toward God. In this book, the author discusses the many false programs for happiness and levels of ...
