The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

Timothy Keller

Dutton Adult, 2008

A masterful and clear explanation of Christianity
Not a complete explanation of God, of course. But it must be one of the most clear and comprehensive ones. The author relies heavily on the Christian writers C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. But he does not ignore the opposition. Timothy Keller also very clearly ...

The Purpose Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? (Purpose Driven® Life, The)

Rick Warren

Zondervan, 2007

Wonderful book
First let me say this is a great book I would recomend it to anyone. I read some of the 1 star reviews and was amazed how misinformed these nay sayers were. One person said that it taught that life is for us to fulfill our own perpose instead of living for God. What ...

Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life

Henry Cloud, John Townsend

Zondervan, 2002

Good book... life changer
I am so happy I bought this book. It has so much information. It is a book that needs study... not just a read. I grew up with alcoholic parents and very codependent relationships. I am glad there is a Christian and biblical based book that speaks to the fact that ...

The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins

Mariner Books, 2008

Repent now, the end time is nearer than you think!!
This book is full of lies from the devil himself. The only truth is in the bible. The bible is 1/3 prophecy from God. Read it for yourself. The only way to eternal life in heaven is through Jesus Christ the son of God, who died to save us from eternal death in hell. ...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead, 2007

Deep, but easy read
I loved this book! I'm a slow reader and I was so engrossed in the story, I finished it in five days! When you're staying up all night reading, you know it's a good book! I was so moved by the story, I bought The Kite Runner afterwards. This book really gives us a ...

The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

Gary Chapman

Northfield Publishing, 1995

A Life Changing Book
This is a great book and it changed my life by me and my boyfriend reading it. I recommend this book to everyone. It's truly eye opening.

Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life

Charles J. Chaput

Doubleday, 2008

A terrific read
I read this overnight and couldn't put it down. Chaput has an easy, engaging writing style, but don't let that fool you. He has a deep grasp of history and a forceful message about the role of Catholic faith in shaping and humanizing the public square. He deals with ...

The Shack

William P. Young

Windblown Media, 2007

The Shack
Fabulous. Be ready to set aside your religious boxes and ENJOY the beauty of and the revelations of a God that loves you beyond anyone else ever could/would or should. We had the tragedy of loosing a daughter suddenly, this book is a healing balm in the face of loss, ...

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations

Alex Harris, Brett Harris

Multnomah Books, 2008

Great book for every teen
Like several reviewers wrote, I picked up this book for my 13 year old and first read it myself. It not only inspired me to do some "hard things", it helped me realize how I can challenge my kids to stretch beyond what they think their limitations may be . My ...

Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who ...

Ron Hall, Denver Moore

Thomas Nelson, 2008

One of my favorite true stories of all times!
This book is amazing. I love biographies and autobiographies and this is definitely one of my favorites. I got the chance to meet the authors and they are very genuine guys, with a desire to tell their story to encourage others. I have given this book as a gift many ...

Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs

Emerson Eggerichs

Thomas Nelson, 2004

Amazing and Eye-Opening!
Amazing and eye-opening book! Everyone getting married should be required to read this book, and anyone who is considering marriage or wants to get married should read also!

Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine

Wayne Grudem

Zondervan, 1995

Outstanding and Unsurpassed
The title of my Review says it all, and since there are already over 130 Reviews, I will make this short. This is simply the best comprehensive modern systematic theology in one volume on the market I have seen in 40 years of ministry. Why? It covers charismatic, ...

unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters

David Kinnaman, Gabe Lyons

Baker Books, 2007

Great Book But Not the Whole Story
This is a great book, but it's not complete. The book does a wonderful job of showing why Christians look unattractive in the eyes of those who are not part of the faith. To complete the picture, I would recommend George Barna's excellent books "Revolution" and ...

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

Donald Miller

Thomas Nelson, 2003

Blue Like Jazz
This is a book well worth reading. It is appropriate for late teens and early twenties since it covers life in a university. It has a great spiritual depth and we have used is as the basis of study in a small group of men. I recommend it highly.

Mere Christianity

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Mere Christianity
I've been a Christian basically all my life, and had up to this point, never read anything by C. S. Lewis. Now having read "Mere Christianity", I'm completely baffled as to why I waited so long. C. S. Lewis' style is very conversational, intelligent, and spiritually ...
