Terry James
VMI Publishing, 2006
The Rapture Dialogues: Dark Dimension
Roswell, New Mexico, 1947. What really happened? Did the military cover up an alien crash landing? Were alien bodies recovered? Or was something far more sinister uncovered by these and other incidents?
On July 3, 1947, James Morgan is flying a routine mission over New Mexico when his partner Clark Lansing disappears without a trace. Morgan is sworn to secrecy and tells no one of the ...

Valley of Vision: A collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions90 reviews
Banner of Truth, 1975
Worth Much, Much More
These prayers and devotions are wonderfully written. Passionate and thought provoking. Many phrases will remind you of scripture. I read them over and over and discover new morsels to digest. I have given copies to my friends. I carry it right next to my Bible.

El Conocimiento del Dios Santo77 reviews
J. I. Packer
Vida, 2006
Essential Theology
I have bought more than fifty copies of Knowing God for use in teaching the subject. Packer does an excellent job of helping us to have a relationship with the God of the universe rather than just knowing something about Him. I have never found another book that does as good a job of teaching meaningful theology to people who really want to know God.

The Holiness of God58 reviews
R. C., Jr. Sproul
Tyndale House Publishers, 1990
This is flat out good stuff...
I told someone recently that I was reading The Holiness of God by Sproul and they looked at me like I was an alien. They responded with surprise that I had not read it and went on to rave about the book. Sometimes books get a bit too much pub and then don't live up to the hype; however, this book is not one of them. The Holiness of God is classic Sproul and it is a much needed message for the ...

The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth146 reviews
Doubleday, 2002
Finally, the Liturgy Understood
I had an immediate paradigm-shift when I read about the relationship between Revelation and the celebration of the Liturgy - The incense, the garbs, the altar, and more importantly the words we sometimes echo without feeling or thinking of the real meaning of it all... "Holy, Holy, Holy,", and the "LAMB of GOD" now echos in my heart during mass. The Liturgy for me is now Heaven on Earth for I ...

The Brothers K117 reviews
David James Duncan
Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1996
Simply Outstanding
Beautiful writing. Simply one of the best books by a living author that I've read. If you have interest in great writing, baseball, or Christianity, you'll enjoy the book. If you're a fan of all three, it'll be one of your favorites.

Streams in the Desert®73 reviews
Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, Jim Reimann
Zondervan, 1999
Awesome books to share
I've ordered multiple copies of this book on three occasions, and will probably reorder more. This is a book with more than the typical daily devotion ... it has meat and it has substance. It is a great light to follow during your day and it contains plenty of 'food for thought'. I received my first copy of this devotional from one of my pastors and have shared 8 copies with other people in my ...

The Knowledge of the Holy: The Attributes of God : Their Meaning in the Christian Life72 reviews
A. W. Tozer
Walker Large Print, 1997
Daily reading required!
This is a book about the attributes of God. Tozer does an outstanding job of pointing us to God by recalling those things which the Bible says are true of God Almighty.
A few ideas Tozer repeats throughout the book. These ideas are:
1) Modern man has lost the vision of the majesty of our God, and the first step to aquiring it is to determine to "Aquaint ourselves with God".
2) In ...

Eryk Hanut
Tarcher, 2001
Fantastic book!!!!
This book is just superb! And I mean- SUPERB!!!!!!!!!Poetic,funny, acerbic- and so full of wisdom. I like his style- so irreverent and so deep at the same time. I will reread it often and will give it around. I strongly recommend it- you got the point, right? I met Eryk Hanut once- many years ago. I attended an opening for his artwork in Virginia Beach. I was with a friend (who was already sick ...

Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church49 reviews
Benedict XVI
USCCB, 2006
Excellent for those seeking to learn about the faith!
I purchased this book for a faith formation class I'm taking, and let me just say that I am overjoyed to be reading such a fine piece of work.
When read hand-in-hand with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a very real, in-depth view of our faith arises; it accurately portrays the beauty and mystery of the faith that Christ has handed to us through His Bride, the Church.
I can't stress ...

This book is for everyone!!!
Not only was this book written as a testimony to show how GOD navigates our lives to help us know that we are loved it also shows that with faith all things are possible. This book is not only for those with drug or alcohol addictions but it is for those of us who suffer addictions of all kinds, it is for those of us who don't believe in ourselves, for those who have experienced hurt and also ...

Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World46 reviews
John F. Jr. MacArthur
Crossway Books, 1993
MacArthur: Today's Charles Spurgeon
The brilliance of John MacArthur's book, "Ashamed of the Gospel" is that it was written long before Rick Warren and Bill Hybels were household names. MacArthur, like Spurgeon a century ago, is one of our generation's leading apologist for defending the faith and the intregrity of biblical doctrines.
The evangelical church that I knew (until about 1995) was a place where the gospel was upheld ...

Love Without End...Jesus Speaks45 reviews
Glenda Green
Spiritis Publishing, 2002
The VERY best Spiritual Book I have EVER read!
As one who has been committed to the Path for a LONG time, I feel confident in saying that the new version of Love Without End is the
most complete Spiritual Teaching you will ever find.
Each sentence is a Gem ... that you could mediate on for quite awhile.
I have read this book (and marked it up really good!) at least six times.
A Miracle of LOVE indeed...
Gratefully,
Dr. David ...

An Introduction to the New Testament (Anchor Bible Reference Library)49 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Doubleday, 1997
Extremely helpful and easy to understand
I am a somewhat new Christian and have really felt a connection with God since becoming faithful. However, I became wary of Church dogma and completely literal, simplified views of info in the Bible. I knew it had to be deeper than that. I had a hunger to learn more about the history of the New Testament and it's books, letters, etc. to help me better understand it. This book was extremely ...

Thorndike Press, 2006
Changed my life...
I have been a church goer my whole life and just went with the flow, never really in touch with God...until I read this book. I read it, and it turned me right around. This book will make you embrace the grace of an awesome God. If your life is off track this book will show you what is being offered to you, and if you've already accepted your forgiveness, this book will make you smile when you ...

A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture48 reviews
Scott Hahn
Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 1998
Seeking Advice
All I want to do at present is study the Gospels with a little help from Scott Hahn, so I think Hahn's books on the Gospels of Mark and Matthew would be a more appropriate beginning point for a recently converted Catholic to begin reading the Gospels for the first time since conversion from Anglicanism. I already know about the covenantal relationship developed between God and the Hebrews in the ...

Watchman Nee
Witness and Testimony Press, 1959
Now I See
When I was 9 years old I got my first pair of glasses and was amazed by the detail and clarity of my new vision. What was once green blobs atop brown cylinders became gorgeous, complex trees in their full, leafy glory. In a similar way, thanks to Nee, I see the details and wholeness of God's greatest gift to us, His Son.
Watchman Nee makes Paul's Letter to the Romans accessible and ...
