Knowing Christ 1 review
Alister Mcgrath
Galilee Trade, 2002
Moving Christ from Head to Heart
In this book, evangelical theologian Alister McGrath appears to be making a case to Christians for moving the location of one's knowledge of God from one's head to one's heart. He does this partly by recounting his own personal spiritual journey and partly by writing a gentle apologetic for why simply having "sound teaching" or "correct doctrine" isn't all there is to being a Christian. Using ...

The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation 16 reviews
Siku
Galilee Trade, 2008
Great but short
This is a great interpretation and summary of the old and new testament. I have some very minor theological quibbles with the summary but it is easy to see that this was a labour of love for both Siku and Akin. I love the application of a lot of manga styles to the story and art. I only wish it was longer and in colour - much like the gorgeous Heavy Metal work Siku has done in the past.
I ...

Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain and Illness 6 reviews
Maureen Pratt
Galilee Trade, 2005
Spiritually Uplifting
I am a 27-year-old woman with Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Osteoarthritis in both knees and in my spine. It is a gross understatement to say that it's a hard thing to deal with. This book has helped me to see my health problems in a different way. Instead of seeing them as a burden to me, and seeing myself as a burden to others, I now see my afflictions as blessings. I don't feel helpless anymore. I ...

The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium21 reviews
Walter Wink
Galilee Trade, 1999
Powerful, majestic good sense
Wink's argument is passionate, reasonable, and convincing. Non-violent resistance has always been the Christian response to injustice, and now that force of courageous compassion is re-shaping the world. Wink's accounts of the great democratic revolutions of the 1980s and 90s give inspiring tribute to a growing movement for partnership, which is sweeping away the old "powers that be". He shows ...

Christmastide: Prayers for Advent Through Epiphany from The Divine Hours2 reviews
Phyllis Tickle
Galilee Trade, 2003
Great Book
The Christmastide book is the perfect book to use for those who are starting to learn about the Liturgy of the Hours. We used this book at my parish throughout the Advent Season before weekday morning mass. We have since adapted to the regular morning prayer, but this book is a great way to start before going to the full version. I would recommend this book to anyone! The only con is the ...

Ruth, A Portrait: The story of Ruth Bell Graham9 reviews
Patricia Cornwell
Galilee Trade, 1998
Amazing book on the spunky Ruth Bell Graham; colonial America to China
Ruth Bell Graham was ailing this week and died yesterday. I had meant for the longest time to read this book, but just never got around to it. I guess I just thought she was perfect, and perhaps the book might be about that, but I was so moved by her life ending that I just had to know more about her. I knew I was going to miss her presence in our lives and country. Yesterday was the impetus to ...

For those who wrote the negative comments and those of you who think that you are going to get into heaven by worshiping false gods (food, alcohol, ...

Soul Survivor: How Thirteen Unlikely Mentors Helped My Faith Survive the Church75 reviews
Philip Yancey
Galilee Trade, 2003
God Uses All Types of People
Phil Yancy gives credit to 13 people for demonstrating to him how God made them impactful in his life for securing his faith. Telling their stories also provides to the reader a challenge to similarly allow God to use her or him. Although these 13 people are Yancy's favorite heroes of his faith, they are also effective role models for the rest of us. Even though we may not have the ...

Richard Malone
Galilee Trade, 2003
A Gold Mine of Wisdom and Encouragement.
This book is easy to read yet profoundly insightful. The author very succinctly captures the truth of our emotional reactions to unexpected job change. Even though my career change was voluntary, this book has still been extremely helpful and encouraging. I highly recommend it to anyone going through career change, or even to those hoping to better understand a loved one who is going through ...

Fit for God: The 8-Week Plan That Kicks The Devil OUT and Invites Health and Healing IN5 reviews
La Vita M. Weaver
Galilee Trade, 2004
The first half of the book alone worth the price
I'm not even done with the book yet, but I have to say, I am really enjoying it so far. When Pastor Weaver describes her life...the troubled upbringing, the poor life choices, the panicked feeling of not being able to help herself...I can relate. When she talks about her approach to dealing with the pain...I can relate. When she states that the solution is in God FIRST, and getting into His Word, ...

Sexless in the City: A Memoir of Reluctant Chastity8 reviews
Anna Broadway
Galilee Trade, 2008
Sexless in the City
After having read many Christian books on sexuality that rely solely on the "true love waits" mantra, I found this book to be very refreshing. Broadway uses her experiences to show the fallacy behind the American myth that true love and marriage will solve every problem in life. She dispels this myth and shows that only the love from God can ever truly satisfy our huge need for love. She also ...

The Twilight of Atheism: The Rise and Fall of Disbelief in the Modern World 51 reviews
Alister McGrath
Galilee Trade, 2006
Gives Needed Perspective on Atheism Today
I found this book very helpful in understanding the latest round of religion-intolerant books on atheism by such authors as Dawkins and Hitchens. After reading this book, I can now see those books, if anything, represent a high-decibel death knell of atheism as a credible unifying movement. McGrath does an excellent job of approaching the historical issues from a secular perspective and ...

and we are the people he pastures,
the flock that he guides."
