Renovation of the Heart: Putting on the Character of Christ 48 reviews
Dallas Willard
NavPress Publishing Group, 2002
A man who walks the talk
Renovation of the Heart has become one of my most favorite books. I have begun to read it for a third time and each time I am getting more out of it. It is quite understandable, however it must be digested slowly since Willard makes every sentence count. I recommend the video curriculum based on Renovation of the Heart produced by LifeSprings. Willard provides short introductions to each of the ...

The Wounded Heart: Hope for Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse59 reviews
Dan B. Allender
NavPress Publishing Group, 1995
I thank God for this book!
I am so thankful for this book and the workbook. God has used this book, in my life, to reveal things within me that I did not know were there. I now realize that I went through life constantly protecting myself and functioning in a way that was completely unhealthy. My recommendation, to you, is do not pick up this book, unless you truely desire to be healed from the wounds of your past. ...

Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate 20 reviews
Jerry Bridges
NavPress Publishing Group, 2007
Will make you think!
Jerry Bridges has a way of getting to the point. There is no "fluff" in this book. It is practical, personal and convicting in a very valuable way.
Bridges exposes many of the things that we ignore (and some we even celebrate) as the sin that it is. Great for personal or group reading.

Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life32 reviews
Donald S. Whitney
NavPress Publishing Group, 1991
Every Christian Should Be More Disciplined
Few books have proven to be as practical to me as Spiritual Disciplines For the Christian Life. Donald Whitney writes with both precision and perspicuity. Even naming a large group of spiritual disciplines might prove difficult for many today. If you find yourself among the many who are eager to more effectively walk with Christ I heartily suggest obtaining this classic Navigators book. (my full ...

Abba's Child: The Cry of the Heart for Intimate Belonging46 reviews
Brennan Manning
NavPress Publishing Group, 2002
Abba's Child by Brannon Manning
This book has been such a blessing to my life. It has helped me know God's love for me and His awesome grace and reconciliation. I have read it at least twenty times and get something new every time as it challenges me to believe in ways that do not seem natural for me. I have shared this book with numerous others and most of them have told me that it has had a major impact on the way they see ...

The Pursuit of Holiness36 reviews
Jerry Bridges

Fantastic Study
Jerry Bridges is insightful and penetrating in his writing. He is easy to understand and gets to the heart of the matter. I used this in conjunction with the companion study book. This really helped me put into action the principles he discusses. It's well worth your time.

New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs
Eugene Peterson
(An Amazon book review)
Eugene Peterson, a former professor of Hebrew and Greek, has done a masterful job of recasting the New Testament into contemporary language. In his experience, many people find a numbing familiarity with the earlier translations and have given up or have become confused by cryptic language that no ...

Love Your God with All Your Mind
8 May 2008 - Well laid out book that makes a good case r the importance of thinking in Christianity. While it does a good job there are several aspects to life and how to live that are just as important but are downplayed in this book.

Before I Was Born (God's Design for Sex)18 reviews
Carolyn Nystrom
NavPress Publishing Group, 2007
Great introduction
I decided that I wanted to be the first one to talk to my son about sex, and God's design for sex. I picked up this book based on the reviews, and I was not disappointed. The pictures were obvious, but not graphic and the explanations were complete, but not overdone. My son was interested and not at all uncomfortable when we read the book. I highly recommend it.

The Message Remix 2.0: The Bible In contemporary Language23 reviews
NavPress Publishing Group, 2006
The most beautiful, inspirational book EVER written.
The Message, especially The Message Remix 2.0, is incredible. It's simply the Bible in modern language. BUT there is so much more to this. It's poetic, it's well explained, and it's written in such a way that the context of the pages are easily comprehendable. Each book starts out with Eugene Peterson explaining the whole book, to put it in perfect context. So when you read the book, it makes ...

When I Lay My Isaac Down: Unshakable Faith in Unthinkable Circumstances48 reviews
Carol Kent
NavPress Publishing Group, 2004
Heart Wrenching
Carol's book is heart wrenching. We have only one child also, and we have had to "lay our Isaac down" and trust that God will take care of our son. Reading Carol's book made me realize that I am powerless over some circumstances, but God is still in control. I have a feeling though, that this book would not be understood by those who are not Christian. The idea of trusting a God who would ...

What's the Big Deal?: Why God Cares About Sex (God's Design for Sex)5 reviews
Stan Jones, Brenna B. Jones
NavPress Publishing Group, 2007
Excellent book in a series on a necessary subject!
There are two books prior to "What's the Big Deal" and we have used these wonderfully illustrated books with all three of our children. We followed the age suggestion and found that the subject matter was presented in a very natural and positive way. The main reason these books are such a blessing is that we need to tell our precious and innocent children the truth so that they are prepared ...

Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts25 reviews
Jerry Bridges
NavPress Publishing Group, 2008
Trust God
This book is wonderful and is essential reading for anyone, not only those going through hard times, but also those with questions as to how to let go of our anxieties and worries. Everything Bridges says he back up with the Bible, and he does not skip around the difficult questions, but addresses them. This book was exactly what I hoped for and will be re-read many times I am sure.

This book is an excellent contemporary version of the Bible. The language helps to better understand the meaning of the text. The print is really small, I wish I had purchased a larger version.
