Emerson Eggerichs

Thomas Nelson, 2004

Excellent Book-Simple and Profound Marriage Changing Message
The 4:8 Principle: The Secret to a Joy-Filled Life Love & Respect is an excellent book and one of the TOP FIVE I recommend in my coaching practice at The 1% Club. Essentially, the book describes in detail "The Crazy Cycle in marriage" (Which triggers and fuels itself) It can be summed up like this: "Without love, she reacts without respect. Without respect, he reacts without love. Around ...

What In the World Is Going On?: 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore

David Jeremiah

Thomas Nelson, 2008

What in Hell is going on? I was clueless until this book!
"Suzanne" writes: "I love David Jeremiah, so this review is very difficult for me to write, because I find myself having to be critical of his work." I, too, love David Jeremiah. (and JESUS loves him!). But unlike Suzanne and Jesus, this review will not be difficult for me to write, because I believe Jeremiah's book is spot-on accurate about these End Times in which we live. Read the ...

Jesus Wants to Save Christians: A Manifesto for the Church in Exile

Rob Bell, Don Golden

Zondervan, 2008

Rob is my Rabbi
Rob had a way of getting you involved in the story of the scriptures and it feels like your there and he does this in the book, he makes you think and think about things that you might not think about otherwise. Its hard for a man near 30 (me) to learn to question because as a society we tell kids to know facts and not understand whats going on behind the story and definetely dont ask questions ...

Kate Gosselin, Beth Carson

Zondervan, 2008

Very well written. Good writting style, flow and timeline of events.
When the book came out I noticed that the author is Beth Carson (along with Kate Gosselin). On the TV show "Jon and Kate Plus 8", it has been shown that Beth Carson is Kate's good friend, so I was concerned that the book itself may lack an experienced writing style. I was wrong! This book is VERY well written with an excellent flow and time-line of events. The story is told by Kate with ...

BEST PARENTING BOOK I'VE EVER READ
Very practical and you can put it into action immediately. I have seen major results in my daughter and also got the CDs so I could immerse myself into an action plan. My daughter is 6 and I wish I had this book when she was 1 as there is a section on potty training that would of helped me so much. I highly recommend this book.Have a New Kid by Friday: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, ...

The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

126 reviews
Timothy Keller

Dutton Adult, 2008

Excellent fair-minded critique of skepticism
This is a very well written book. I was very impressed by how fair-minded and non-polemical Mr. Keller was while treating subjects of peoples' beliefs or non-beliefs. He takes both today's Christians and Atheists to task while making a strong case for the traditional beliefs of orthodox Christianity. Excellent book, I really enjoyed it!

The Love Dare

it was my husband's idea to read this book together when we first started dating. boy did it make a difference! the book actually reads really fast. i would recommend taking the test first to find out your love language and your mate's, then read the respective chapters on those 2 languages first, then read the rest of the book. this should seriously be a requirement for engaged ...

This is the only toolbox you will ever need.
I was diagnosed with Manic depression/bipolar disorder about 5 years ago. Prior to that it was severe Postpartum depression. I have been on and off medication for 9 years after the death of my mom. Through much prayer and seeking God I was healed of my depression and given joy abundantly, and do not take any medication whatsoever. God must know how much I love books, because only after 4 days ...

Recommended!
This is a must read for students in junior high and high school. It changes the way they would walk through the teen years. Parents, we aren't exempt from doing hard things either. Read this to see how we can still impact our world and change the way our children process the adolescent years.

The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith

6 reviews
Timothy Keller

Dutton Adult, 2008

What does 'Prodigal' Mean again?
When I received a copy of The Prodigal God I was greatly intrigued by the title. To be honest I thought the author was trying to be a little too cute in his choice for a title. As a result I jumped right in and in effort to figure our where he was going, could not put the little book down. Author Tim Keller recently wrote the bestselling book The Reason for God to reach out to skeptics. ...

Karen Kingsbury

Tyndale House Publishers, 2008

A Fitting Goodbye to the Baxters
Like many, I have followed the Baxter family from their beginnings in Karen Kingsbury's Redemption series. I fell in love with them and with Karen's writing style. Sunset is the last of her books with the Baxters as the central characters and it did not disappoint. True to her style Karen Kingsbury made me laugh and cry and cheer before I closed the cover. One of the things I love about her ...

Jake Colsen, Wayne Jacobsen, ...

Windblown Media, 2006

A must read
I have found this book to be an answer to the confusion and discouragement many people feel about their church experience. The book helped me put the emphasis of my faith back in proper alignment: on the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God, which are always relevant in any age, any situation. I recommend this book very highly to anyone.

The King James Bible (with book and chapter navigation)

7 reviews

Diana Mecum DianaDoesIt.com, 2008

This is the best of the KJVs!
When I first used my Kindle, I inadvertently downloaded the wrong KJV. It had no table of contents and to get to the New Testament I had to turn every single page. I wasn't through the first chapter in Genesis when I realized the futility of my task. I began a more thorough search for a Bible that was more "user friendly." This one caught my attention because Diana Mecom, the lady who ...
