Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate14 reviews
Jerry Bridges

NavPress Publishing Group, 2007

Respectable Sins
"Sin is sin. Even those sins that I call `the acceptable sins of the saints' - those sins that we tolerate in our lives - are serious in God's eyes. Our religious pride, our critical attitudes, our unkind speech about others, our impatience and anger, even our anxiety (see Philippians 4:6); all of these are serious in the sight of God." (pg. 21) In his new book, Respectable Sins: Confronting ...

You'll find yourself actually laughing out loud at much of his account . . . also, ...

If I were king of the forest...
Nice story -- I really enjoyed it. A young woman suddenly, traumatically, finds that she is a shape-shifter. Her father, who she had thought was a high-school boy who died in a car-crash, is a Leo -- a were-lion -- a pride leader, and alive. To learn who she really is, and how to control this new aspect of her nature, she goes to visit. Trouble -- there are those in his pride who are by no ...

Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices132 reviews
Frank Viola, George Barna

BarnaBooks, 2008

Life Changing...
This book will help you understand historically why we do what we do in church today (not that it is bad perhaps, just not all biblical - more like tradition). The book is slightly miss-titled to grab readers attention, which it deserves. It rocked my Christian world into understanding. Loved this book! I am buying several copies for my family and friends. 		  
  







  
  
Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God16 reviews
Voddie T. Baucham Jr.

Crossway Books, 2007

Challenges your thinking
Interesting a reviewer said Baucham teaches "Beating kids=good! Evolution=Bad!" ...it tells you right there that reviewer has succumbed to the culture that Baucham ironically warns people against (the culture says spanking=beating kids and macroevolution=fact). For everyone else, this book shows Christians how our practices have been influenced by the culture (rather than the other way around) ... 		  
  







  
  
The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives8 reviews
Leonard Mlodinow

Pantheon, 2008

Chances are good you'll like this one
This smart book will make you think. Academic yet easy to read, it explores how random events shape the world and how human intuition fights that fact. I found this point fascinating. It never occurred to me that our brains naturally want to see patterns and order, and life doesn't necessarily work like that. It's comforting to think of an orderly world, with everything in its place, running ... 		  
  







  
  
Walking with God: Talk to Him. Hear from Him. Really.15 reviews
John Eldredge

Thomas Nelson, 2008

As always, a great book of John Eldredge
I read this great book while still reading "Hearing God" from Dallas Willard, and found these two books great and worth reading together as they are complementary, how to walk with God wthout hearing God talking to us ? Of course, John Eldredge is teaching us how to listen to God, but the book of Dallas Willard (mentioned in the books of J. Eldredge) handles the problem of listening to God in a ...

Thomas Cathcart, Daniel Klein

Abrams Image, 2007

Cogent philosophy punctuated with jokes
A fun way to review/learn a little Philosophy. Briefly analyze your chuckles then move on to the next joke. Some of the explanations were better than the jokes and vice versa 		  
  







  
  
Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela119 reviews
Nelson Mandela

Back Bay Books, 1995

Must Read
This is a fantastic book that provides great insight into one of the most inspirational leaders in modern history. His story in particular and the anti-apartheid struggles in general are fascinating and provide extremely valuable lessons. With his humbleness and incredibly lucid and organized writing style (which admittedly did surprise me), this could be the best autobiography out there. One can ...

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Great book!

The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom287 reviews
Slavomir Rawicz

The Lyons Press, 2006

Truly Horrendous Tale but with a Happy Ending
Sunday, March 26, 2006 "The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz, © 1956 This is an amazing story. It is incredible that the torturers in the U.S. Army did not read this or take lessons from the KGB, because some of their tortures are very similar to what is described in this book. But that is only in the first two chapters. The rest of the book is the story of Mr. Rawicz's walk with his cohorts from ...

The Long Walk264 reviews
Stephen King

Signet, 1999

The Journey
The problem that so many people have with this book is that they place too much importance on who wins the competition. This book, however, is not a tale about the beginnings and ends. It is a story about the actual journey of life. After all that is what life truly is about. The fact that it is a story about the journies of a 100 kids, who all, to some small degree, know that they are going to ...

Crown, 2003

Interesting, offbeat
This collection is an idiosyncratic and appealing mix of off-the-beaten-path sights for the visitor to Portland, personal anecdotes of the author, and brief essays about the history of Portland and its defining vibes. Entertaining and enjoyable. 		  
  







  
  
A Walk to Remember1293 reviews
Nicholas Sparks

Grand Central Publishing, 2004

A Beautiful, and Poignant Novel!
A WALK TO REMEMBER was a novel I checked out from the library because I was tired of fast-paced action novels by John Grisham and Tom Clancy (don't get me wrong; I love Grisham and Clancy). I like dramas and romances, so I checked this one out. It's the first Sparks novel I've read. I was stunned. Not only was it intelligent and engrossing, but it pierced your soul; it could make you laugh ... 		  
  







  
  
YOU: On a Walk18 reviews

Simon & Schuster Audio, 2007

You On A Walk
I use this cd everyday for my 30 minute walk. I hadn't exercised in years and this was easy to start. I moved up quickly to the next level. I enjoy the "cool down" and stretches. I have surprised myself with even running during part of my walk. For someone who didn't want to get out the front door, this has truly become an activity I look forward to everyday.
