The Promise: God's Purpose and Plan for When Life Hurts3 reviews
Jonathan Morris

HarperOne, 2008

Life Affirming and Life Changing!
`Why does God allow suffering?' - a painful question that is addressed in a compassionate, and even refreshing, way in this special book. I like to describe it as sitting down with a friend over a cup of coffee - `The Promise' is uplifting, encouraging and resonating with hope. Although this book may be directed at those going through a crisis or a difficult life experience, I think this would ...

The Screwtape Letters (Gift Edition)353 reviews
C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Read it FIVE times in my life, and plan to read it again!
In examining my limitless collection of books, and with complete intellectual honesty, I declare that this book is my absolute favorite book of my entire life. I find myself surprised by that, because there have been so many wonderful, awe-inspiring books that I have devoured--but if I had to pick only ONE book as my favorite, it would have to be this one. It was in thinking about what to write ...

One of my top 5 books
Simple fast read. Many lessons in this book. I have passed it to friends who end up buying their own. Its got a great message. I highly recommend it. If it ends up not being for you, you still had a good read with a good story that is well written. Can't go wrong! 		  
  







  
  
Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (Plus)352 reviews
Bart D. Ehrman

HarperOne, 2007

An Excellent Look at Textual Criticism
Back in college, I took a very interesting course that focused on an in-depth examination of the gospel of Mark. In that course, I learned that the last twelve verses of the gospel are not original. In fact, they are a later addition to the text, most likely to "fix" the rather abrupt original ending to the gospel with something more clear and orthodox. This was one of my first experiences ... 		  
  







  
  
Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church15 reviews
N. T. Wright

HarperOne, 2008

The Title's True! This is a Surprising Book about the Core Hopes -- and the Crucial Work -- of Christianity
Friends call him "Tom" -- and, at this point, Anglican Bishop N.T. Wright has friends around the world, eagerly looking for his next visit and his next book. There's an air of C.S. Lewis about the bishop of Durham. Nearly a decade ago, he became a sensation among American journalists for touring the country with Marcus Borg, the two of them cast as a pair of dueling Bible scholars and ... 		  
  







  
  
Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy19 reviews
Debbie Ford

HarperOne, 2008

Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop being your own worst enemy
For anyone willing to work on being the best person they can be, this is an "text" book. You will want to read it, ponder, journal about your thoughts, question yourself, and re-read it. I've read it once, and re-read specific chapters to really get the message that relates to me, where I am and as I am in my life right now. Very eye opening. I can already feel a shift in my motivation, my ...

Richard J. Foster

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics63 reviews
C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2007

Excellent choice for anyone searching for a great read, or to explore Christianity
As a freshman in college, the concept of religion can be a very distant one. A man who is a leader of a spiritual organization on campus highly recommended CS Lewis, beyond the Chronicles of Narnia, and finally I decided I would see what the interest was about. I cannot believe I waited so long to experience such a fantastic author and truly wonderful books. If you are a life-long Christian, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Great Divorce202 reviews
C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

W.................O.......................W!
Take your time with this one. Its dynamics, allegory and symbolism--if you catch them-- will illuminate your mind and soul with a sobering and healthy thought-proving self-reflection. It consumed my mind, for sure. What an author....what can one say? I am speechless. Wonderful, spectacular, outstanding and highly recommended. Carrie Lynn Jones Author of: It All Began... When Jesus ... 		  
  







  
  
In the Event of My Untimely Demise: Twenty Things My Son Needs to Know4 reviews
Brian Sack

HarperOne, 2008

No used books yet, so you know it's good!
I've been waiting for this book for a while...I'm a big fan of Brian Sack's writing. So I receive notice today that it's available on the virtual shelves (and real ones too). I rush to purchase on Amazon on the first day it's out, and what do I find? None are available used. Yep, it's that good. Enjoy it! 		  
  







  
  
Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment57 reviews
Deepak Chopra

HarperOne, 2008

Karma, and how to dead with it
I've read quite a few of Deepak's books, he's written over 50 of them, and this one has become my favorite. In all the books I've read, all non-fiction works, Deepak Chopra, our personal liaison to the East, gives us much content, and although his books are sprinkled with his own personal stories, I've never thought other than, well this is the truth. This is the way it is. But in this fiction ... 		  
  







  
  
There Is a God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind55 reviews
Antony Flew, Roy Abraham Varghese

HarperOne, 2007

Interesting
This was a very interesting book, depicting the journey of a confirmed atheist as he searched for evidence of the existence of God. He doesn't confess to having become a Christian, but finding evidence which he believes proves there is a God. Highly philosophical this book is sometimes a bit hard to understand, but it worth the effort. It is a great book to share with other atheists as ... 		  
  







  
  
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: The Spiritual Classic & International Bestseller; Revised and Updated ...96 reviews
Sogyal Rinpoche, Patrick D. Gaffney, ...

HarperOne, 1994

Breaking down the barriers of mind
When I first read this book I found it "very" hard going. As I recognised fairly early on the path, the more difficult something is, the more you have to gain by facing it head on. This book was really the first book that taught me true compassion. Persevere with this book, read it again and again, and you may just find that your whole view of the universe and reality has shifted to something ... 		  
  







  
  
A Grief Observed130 reviews
C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

"Reality, looked at steadily, is unbearable."
I read on Wikipedia that Lewis had originally released this book under a pseudonym, N.W. Clerk. But, as it happened, so many of his friends recommended it to him as a way to deal with his own grief that he finally decided to publish it under his own name. I do not know if that was actually true, but it makes a great story. He wrote this book after his wife, Joy, died of cancer. A Grief ...

It's Not About the Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance7 reviews
Brent Kessel

HarperOne, 2008

Profound, life changing, and practical
A must read for everyone! This book is unique in that it addresses the fundamental issue that all of the other personal finance and investment books out there seem to overlook, which is that you must first understand your own motivations, behaviors, patterns, etc. surrounding money before you can begin to transform your financial life. This book has done so much for me and I have recommended it ... 		  
  







  
  
Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense70 reviews
N.t. Wright

HarperOne, 2006

In a nutshell...
One of very few books that makes me pause and contemplate all that has been said in a few concise words. It is perhaps cumbersome at the start, but isn't anything thoughtful a bit of work?? N. T. Wright has something to tell us and wants first to set the stage. Fair enough. He very even handedly goes about telling us why Christianity makes so much sense. He makes sense. ..."Nor is ...

Eric Butterworth

HarperOne, 1992

www.valderbeebeshow.com
Reading Discover the Power Within You, did not change my life. It changed me! Valder Beebe, Editor After purchasing Discover the Power Within You in 2002, I read a few pages. I put the book away, somewhere. As 2005 is coming to a close, I need more insight into my life, more clarity into the power within me.
