Alert to Mentoring
MENTOR QUEST On my fiftieth birthday, I lamented to God that I have never had a one-on-one personal mentor, and how now I probably never would. Enter mentor par excellence, Betty Southard, via her wonderful new book, The Mentor Quest, that I received as a gift. In a matter of hours as I sped my way through this challenging book, without ever having to leave my chair, I met an extended ...

Elisabeth Elliot

She's earned my respect
I've always thought Elisabeth Elliot was an exceptional woman. But after reading this book, I have a new found respect for her. It is easy to say God is sovereign.But when you have sacrificed the comforts of modern life and served God on his terms, you earn a whole new level of respect. This is an encouraging book. I am not a missionary, but a homeschooling mom. And this book spoke to my ...

What an outstanding book! Brittany takes a hard look at the very real issues that all teens face as they grow up in today's society. Extremely helpful for the teen at heart too. It's an excellent choice for when has you all twisted and turned around. I couldn't put it down. When reading "Prayers," it becomes so evident that these are things Brittany has dealt with herself and came through in ...

Help Has Arrived!!
This is a crisply written book chock full of wisdom for parents dealing with prodigal children. Larson blends solid Biblical principles with equally solid youth development knowledge. An example: "Never make good behavior a prerequisite for your affection. It is a condition that even God doesn't demand." Woven throughout are fascinating stories of real-world challenges faced by families with ...

Elisabeth Elliot

Comfort in the Storm
I found this book about 7 years ago and have continually turned to it for comfort. I have given it as a gift over a dozen times and each reciever has found the same comfort. Perfect for a friend who cannot seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Elisabeth Elliot's approach is one of no nonsense. She tells it like it is, yet gives hope.

Grieving the Loss of Someone you Love
This book is written is such a good way to help you through the grieving process. It details what's "normal" and helps the grieving person sort out their feelings. Though nobody goes through the grieving process the same way another person may, this book gives guidance on how to cope with the feelings of loss and sadness. I found it encouraging and supportive and at the same time, it seemed to ...
A Path Through Suffering: Discovering the Relationship Between God's Mercy and Our Pain

Elisabeth Elliot
Vine Books, 1992
Reconciling Faith and Suffering
I was born with health issues and have suffered for many years of my life as a result. I am now an adult and have rarely enjoyed life without significant pain of some kind. I have been prayed for, prayed over, told I lacked faith, preached to, felt sorry for, etc. But this book puts meaning and purpose not only in suffering, but in faith through suffering. With the additional quotes from the ...

Thoughtful, Biblical, Practical
Nathan and Wilson score on this collaboration! Great for pastors and church leaders looking for guidance in how to have a church that is both strong in Word and strong in Spirit. This book, along with Doug Banister's Word and Power Church, argues convincingly that the best of the Evangelical and Charismatic worlds can be mutually embraced. The authors write carefully and thoughtfully as they ...

I have all ready bought three copies and given them as gifts
As I read this excellent book, I immediately thought of incidents in my own life or in the lives of friends when I whispered a similar prayer. I gave one to a friend who suffers from chronic pain and a friend who is going for a breast cancer biopsy. I will be buying another one next week for a friend who is retiring as the book has appropriate prayers for each of these friends. Well done! ...

Charles H. Kraft
Vine Books, 1989
A must read for those seeking a real walk with God
I have read many books on healing and living the Christian life with power and authority, but this book by far better addresses the issues that need to be addessed to help one understand what the real problems are, that they are in the area of our own limited understanding ITSELF. This book helps to answer questions that you had lurking back in the back of your mind but couldn't quite verbalize. ...
What on Earth Are We Doing?: Finding Our Place As Christians in the World

John Fischer
Vine Books, 1997
This Book Will Shake Your Christian Walk
This is the most powerful work that I have read since Philip Yancey's What's So Amazing About Grace. It spoke volumes of truth to me. Fischer believes that the evangelical community in America has, in the past 25 years or so, developed what can only be described as a Christian sub-culture; one which has had more negative than positive effects. He states that we're raised to believe that if we ...

Lovely and valuable
This is not a book that I would usually pick up much less bring into my home. The book looked to "cute". But being a fair person I opened it up and read a few chapters and was hooked. Sometimes a book like this is simply something we need. Just under 200 pages the some 40 stories are no more than 3-4 pages long and to the point. They offer brief lessons and encouragement. As the back cover notes ...
Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe: Ten Misbeliefs That Keep Us from Experiencing God's Grace
6 reviews
Gary Kinnaman
Vine Books, 1999
A MUST READ!
An absolute must read for anyone. It is the most thought provoking book next to the Bible I have read in years. It ranks along side PILGRIMS PROGRESS. Pastor Kinnaman gets to the heart of cultural & spiritual myths addressing them in a clear & biblical based way. I picked this book up while browsing @ a local book store. It clearly was not by chance. As a member of the Canadian Penteostal ...
The Christian Mind: How Should a Christian Think
6 reviews
Harry Blamires
Vine Books, 1997
to read, or do origami... that is the question.
Here is a book which I can unreservedly recommend to anyone who is currently thinking about how they should think. Of course, Blamires (pronounced "the choirs") is addressing himself mainly to the Christian reader, but ALL readers can benefit from this exclusively Christian author who is honest enough to begin his book with the words... "There is no longer a Christian mind." If you have ever ...
Grace Works: Letting God Rescue You from Empty Religion
6 reviews
Dudley Hall
Vine Books, 1992
Excellent Book about Grace
Dudley Hall does a masterful job in showing how believers can be rescued from empty, dead religion. He shows that striving to please God is not the answer. This view, he argues, leaves one with a religion that breeds discontentment. What God offers, he declares, is grace. This is what truly transforms! He does a great job citing biblical examples of the grace of God. This is a very readable ...
