Walking with God on the Road You Never Wanted to Travel10 reviews
Mark Atteberry
Thomas Nelson, 2005
Whether you chose it or not ...
This book is a practical guide to living through suffering. The first chapter deals with looking at your situation to be clear on "who's fault is it?" Did you make choices that landed you here; was it someone else's fault; or was it nobody's fault -- just life as it happened. He doesn't bog you down in that -- he just wants you to look at how you got to this point so that you can use those ...

Walking in Victory: Experiencing the power of your identity in Christ15 reviews
Dennis McCallum
Xenos Publishing, 2002
Secondary companion to one of the Bible's favorite teachings
I really like this author's body of work. I've read all his non-fiction. He's very objective and can sound a little bit like notes from a lecture. But it is also emotionally productive, without the bells and whistles, unlike many Christian authors, and has genuine feeling and vulerability to appeal to anyone's subjective sensibilities. This book is my favorite from this author. He wrote that ...

Jane Sigloh

A great book!
This book is really wise and wonderful ~ the author has a lively intellect and gift for story-telling. Each chapter tells an engaging tale of casual incidents of daily life, the extraordinary events too, often from the author's experience. Tales, told with insight and generous compassion, that expand into larger meaning and are enhanced by her comprehensive knowledge of Scripture and theology. ...

Terry DeBruyn
The Lyons Press, 1999
Fascinating!
If you're at all interested in the natural world around us, and concerned about how much we take for granted in this day and age, this is a sobering and fascinating look at black bears. The author tracks the lives of a family of bears (mainly 3 generations worth) over the course of a year to discuss their behaviors and their seasonal variation. Almost as a by product of this you learn a lot ...

The God I Love: A Lifetime of Walking with Jesus7 reviews
Joni Eareckson Tada
Zondervan, 2003
Irresistible
When Joni Eareckson Tada completes a book, I buy it immediately. Since her first book detailing her accident, I have purchased every one since and given many as gifts. I love them all but this one is the most revealing. The God I Love, is wonderful. I relate to Joni and her horse accomplishments and her life before the accident. She is an incredible writer. Now in this book, she fills us in ...

John Lewis was physically at the forefront of the major civil rights events-getting beaten, arrested, and ultimately, prevailing in the struggle to desegregate the south. He was one of the original Freedom Riders as well as the first person across the Pettis Bridge in Selma. He ...

One Way Ticket To Kansas: Caring About Someone With Borderline Personality Disorder And Finding A Healthy You16 reviews
Ozzie Tinman
Bebes & Gregory Publications, 2005
A Must Read, Essential If You Care About Someone With BPD
In my opinion this is hands down the best book out there for dealing with someone with borderline personality disorder. Yes, there is SWOE and other books that are out there, but One Way Ticket To Kansas is the only book that I have come across that is writen from the perspective of a spouse. It is also the only book out there that explains in detail the eratic and seriouly disturbed behaviors ...

Calvin Miller
Baker Pub Group, 1994
Valiant Papers
Many years ago, I read this book. For years afterwards, whenever I had a situation, and worked it out.... I would think "I wonder what my Guardian Angel thinks?" I still think about my guardian Angel. Just recently I taught my granddaughter, who is 5 years old about her guardian Angel. She now thanks God for her Angel in her prayers.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is ...

Walking with God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotional Selections4 reviews
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Crossway Books, 2003
Wonderful, Deep Devotional Material in a Readable Format
Finding helps for our devotional time can be a challenge. Often, many of them merely offer a "Daily Crumb" rather then a satisfying meal of Scripture. This new collection of the late Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones writings, arranged into 365 daily readings, seeks to offer devotional material that engages the mind in addition to the heart. One feature I especially like in their arrangement is that each ...

Maureen Boyd Biro
All about Kids Publishing, 2002
A charming story that is sure to please
Walking with Maga is a lovely picture book that conveys the tender relationship between a little girl and a special adult in her life. Together they build memories in the simple act of taking a walk. Wheeler's illustrations and Biro's sensitive text combine to remind us all of the importance to take time to appreciate the little things in life.

Walking With Christ in the Details of Life7 reviews
Patrick M. Morley
Thomas Nelson Inc, 1993
Wow! I love this book!
I picked up this treasure for a quarter at a garage sale! It was brand new & I'm sure the owner had never read it, or they would have kept it. I wanted to see if others felt the same as I do about it, so I logged on here to read the reviews. It is so relevant to everyday living, so refeshing, so easy to read, so real, etc, etc. I will be recommending it everyone I know!

Walking, Talking, Debating, and Arguing With God
This book is written as a series of short stories or journal entries concerning the spiritual growth of the author. It is very easy to read and each chapter can be read independently of the others. The author shares experiences that many people can relate to, whether or not they consider themselves to be "religious". Many of the stories contained humor that made me laugh out loud, yet by the ...
