Kate Gosselin, Beth Carson
Zondervan, 2008
In Multiple Blessings, Kate Gosselin shares the gripping details of her rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and lows when she discovered she and her husband, Jon, would be expecting sextuplets while still basking in the light of their twin girls' toddlerhood.

The Purpose DrivenŽ Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose DrivenŽ Life, The) 1083 reviews
Rick Warren
Zondervan, 2007
The Purpose Driven Life
This is a book everyone should read. I've bought and given away probably 20-25 copies. It was tremendous help for my daughter when she was going through the dying process. I sent several copies to Iraq at the request of a military person (not a chaplain) there. This last copy I ordered and had delivered to a young man on his way to prison.

The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus622 reviews
Lee Strobel
Zondervan, 1998
Case rests!
I think that Stroebel would have been a great prosecutor. This is a very powerful treatment of truths that have too long been disputed.
While totally infected with the trend of the cases, I found that I could only study one or two chapters at a time and let them ferment in my soul.

Sacred Marriage66 reviews
Gary L. Thomas
Zondervan, 2000
Best book on marraige ever written (next to the Bible)
I've read at least twenty books on marriage, not because my marriage is bad but to make it better. This is by far the most Biblical of them all. Most books try to help correct behavior (not that that's a bad thing) but this one helps to correct your thinking, which in turn corrects your behavior. It's putting the horse before the cart method. Love it. Gary's writing is logical, Biblical and well ...

Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life217 reviews
Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. John Townsend
Zondervan, 2002
A must read for anyone with relationship challenges
This book should be a part of Christian discipleship and ministry training.....many "victims" need to learn a lot of the truths presented here to become free from cycles of pain and abuse and find the strength they may be looking for.
Think of this as....Fundamentals of Emotional Gardening......

The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical 113 reviews
Shane Claiborne
Zondervan, 2006
A Bold Resistance to the Status Quo
Shane "gets it," despite what some intelligent, well-meaning reviews/reviewers suggest. God is not something "out there" waiting to judge, condemn and/or save believers and cast into hell the non-believers. God is in our action. In our kneeling eye-level comfort of a child, in our compassion for others, in our empathy and tears and laughter and, most of all, in our selfless efforts toward the ...

Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine129 reviews
Wayne Grudem
Zondervan, 1995
Most Helpful Book to Me Besides Bible Itself
A friend who attended seminary and learned under Dr. Grudem introduced me to this book. I have read it nearly two times through so far and anticipate reading it periodically for the rest of my life. Besides the Bible itself, this is the most influential book I've ever read. It has profoundly affected my theology. I am most impressed with how Dr. Grudem always proves every conclusion through ...

Life Changing Book
A life changing book with a real honest (and solution based) look at the church. I highly recommend this book. May it give all who read it insight into this mission field we call the United States.

Changes That Heal: How to Understand the Past to Ensure a Healthier Future33 reviews
Dr. Henry Cloud
Zondervan, 1997
Like therapy in a book!!
Excellent book by a respected author...the profound counsel within these pages is fabulous; I have earmarked and underlined and highlighted numerous passages. This one is a good "look in the mirror" and complements the "Boundaries" books quite well. I highly recommend this one! I have been a co-dependent person my entire life; now middle-aged and divorced, it is time to heal and discover ME. ...

Zondervan, 2007
The Bible Experience
What a wonderful way to read the Bible...complete with background sound effects. I thought the price was a bit steep...until I actually started using it. The Bible actually comes alive! Greatly enhances my regular Bible study.

Boundaries with Kids33 reviews
Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. John Townsend
Zondervan, 2001
An amazing book that will change the way you look at parenting.
For most parents, it is just anough to make it through. They are not looking at the long term and the fact that they are shaping the life of a future citizen of the world (and hopefully heaven). Many parents, even Christian ones, miss the mark in parenting because they forget that God teaches that discipline is a neccassary part for maturity. If children do not learn discipline at a young age, ...

How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth84 reviews
Gordon D. Fee, Douglas Stuart
Zondervan, 2003
Too good not to have a copy
The title says it all. If you want to read the Bible for all its worth, you, not only read the book, but have to have your own copy. I borrowed the book from the library and started digging into it. There were many valuable Bible verses provided to illustrate and support the important points of the author's view. In order to gain the most from the book, I would need to go through all of these ...

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?60 reviews
Philip Yancey
Zondervan, 2006
How to get closer to God
I have read many of Phillip Yancy's books. Each of them has helped me in different ways. This book has helped me to understand how I can get closer to God. I often felt like I wasn't worthy to talk to God because of something I did that I wasn't proud of. I have learned that this is the perfect time to talk to God. Wouldn't you go to your earthly father if you needed someone to talk too? Yancey ...
