Max Lucado writes as only he can, with insight and brevity, packaged in powerful imagery. His latest book, 3:16, is packed with delivious observations and challenges, and he does it by focusing on 27 simple words. For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son so that whoever believes in [...]

I want what Vicky Kuyper has. Not the travels – I get to do that for business. Not the lifestyle, either. I want her eyes, the way she can look at the world and see how God is working in her, around her, through her. Wonderlust is Vicky’s [...]

Christian apologetics books can be pretty dry, but Lee Stroble makes it warm and personable. Instead of lecturing the reader on such topics as “Did the church alter early gospels to suit a political purpose?” and “Was Jesus married to Mary Magdelene,” the author instead takes you on a journey to visit world renowned archaeologists [...]

I enjoyed “The Grand Weaver” immensely. Written by Ravi Zacharias, he describes our almighty God has the weaver who holds all the threads of our lives and weaves them into a grand purpose. From our perspective, we only see the individual threads, and sometimes the colors or textures we see don’t make sense. Trusting in [...]

Oh my goodness what a fabulous book that was. It’s not a deeply theological book, it doesn’t get into controversial issues, it simply describes the joy of loving God. The author, Margaret Feinberg, doesn’t delve into religious issues that can separate Christians today. Instead, she challenges us to strip away our pre-conceived notions of who [...]

Bono, the lead singer of U2, was asked to give an address at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2006. Bono discussed his personal faith, the faith of nations, and the plight of the poor in Africa that are dying from AIDS. Based on this speech, “On the Move” was produced with images of the faces [...]

Sort of like combining Stephen King and C.S. Lewis. “House: The Only Way Out is In” (WestBow Press) is a very suspenseful and intense novel by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. In fact, it’s so intense, I cannot in good conscience recommend this to kids or to the squeamish. The entire first half of the [...]

Presumed Guilty by author James Scott Bell and published by Zondervan tracks the fall of a minister, Ron Hamilton, as his good works switch from glorifying God to glorifying himself. His own self of self-esteem and his own [...]

Written by Katharine DeBrecht, the same woman who did Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!, this book takes a kid-friendly crack at Hollywood’s influence on our children. Hollywood “look-alikes” (ahem) keep popping out of the closet and advising children that their lives are wrong! The Hollywood elites tell the girls what to eat, [...]
