Resurrections

Anne Perry

Fawcett, 1986

Another Hit in the Pitt Series
I am really enjoying the Charlotte and Pitt series - the mixture of social conscience and crime. They are both lovable characters. I really enjoy Aunt Vespasia's role in Perry's books, she seems to be someone I would rather enjoy knowing. A great read, for those who ...

The Divine Romance (Inspirational)

Gene Edwards

Tyndale House Publishers, 1993

Worth Reading Over and Over
This is an awesome book that extends the eye of the Word into revelational knowledge.

The Resurrection of the Son of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God, Vol. 3)

N. T. Wright

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2003

Magnificent Study of the Gospels.
When I first commented on N.T. Wright's books, I was new to Amazon and didn't do it under my own name. I'm signing on now, again, to say that he remains for me a giant among scholars. This particular book had an impact that I can't fully describe. A deep Christian ...

Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity

John W. Loftus

Prometheus Books, 2008

The Gold Standard
John Loftus presents a thorough, honest, reasonable and accurate case for why he is an atheist, and more to the point, why Christianity should be rejected. This is a book to be read cover to cover, as each chapter builds on the chapters before it. He makes an excellent ...

Living the Resurrection: The Risen Christ in an Everyday Life

Eugene H. Peterson

NavPress Publishing Group, 2006

The only way to live...
Peterson seems to say that, if we call ourselves "Christians," we have no choice but to live as if the resurrection really happened. He rejects religiosity in favor of faith and relationship, but he attaches new meaning to Christian practices like Holy Communion and ...

Mystery of History Vol 1 (Mystery of History)

Linda Lacour Hobar

Bright Ideas Press, 2007

Exactly what I was looking for!
I wanted a history curriculum that was chronological, christian-based and engaging for my 4 yr old and this is it. He has loved the hands on activities and actually requests his history lesson. Thank you Lisa!

The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You (2 Volume Set)

Paramahansa Yogananda

Self-Realization Fellowship, 2008

The Second Coming of Christ
The book is one that is required reading for a class. It is a beautiful book. The print is not too small and is very easy to read. The pictures are exquisite. Of course, as one would expect, it is not fast reading as you have to go slowly in order to take in all ...

Batman: The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul

Grant Morrison, Paul Dini

DC Comics, 2008

Highly entertaining read
People are far too critical of this book, and it is a real shame, as the book, cover to cover is a fun read. This is a comic. Yes, I know it written in large part by Grant Morrisson, which raised expectations, but it is a comic book. It isn't meant to be ...

Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church

N. T. Wright

HarperOne, 2008

A Must Read
Bishop Wright has taken one of the most important concepts of Christianity and in non-theological terms clarified the teachings Jesus and the apostles about life-after-life-after-death and what is means for the mission of the Church. Many readers will have a surprise ...

Christians at the Cross: Finding Hope in the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus

N. T. Wright

Word Among Us Press, 2008

More Beautiful Music by N.T. Wright
I just got my hands on N.T. Wright's newest book, Christians at the Cross: Finding Hope in the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus. I made it about halfway through last night. The book is essentially a collection of a series of sermons delivered during Holy Week ...

Just Like Jesus

Max Lucado

Thomas Nelson, 2003

Best Yet
I have just about worn out my copy of this book. I have read it and read it over and over again. Each time I read it, I get something new from it. I have been searching for it on CD for my grown sons, but cannot find it. Mr Lucado's vivid examples of God's love ...

Flint: Book 4: Resurrection (Flint)
Treasure Hernandez

Urban Books, 2008

The Birth of Christianity : Discovering What Happened in the Years Immediately After the Execution of Jesus

John Dominic Crossan

HarperOne, 1999

A magnificent edifice, but is it built on sand?
Like a lawyer with a weak case, Crossan relies on razzle-dazzle and hand-waving, but I'm afraid the jury will have to render a verdict of Not Proven. As a layman, in the academic and religious senses, I'm not qualified to criticize his argument in detail, so I can ...

Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope

Jonathan Kozol

Harper Perennial, 2001

Touching Portraits of Resilience
In Ordinary Resurrections, Jonathan Kozol deviates from his usual "gloves off" attack of the issues facing minority children. Instead of building the case against the inequitable system with facts and figures, as he has in previous work, he has chosen the subtle but ...
