And They Were Not Ashamed: Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment

39 reviews
Laura M. Brotherson

Inspire Book, 2004

Great book for couples looking for answers
This book did a great job of expressing new ideas on how to create/enhance emotional and physical relationships in marriage. The author looks at potential issues from both spouses point of view (male/female) and presents fundamental approaches to work thru any anger and resentment. It also challenged me on how to educate my children on sexuality in such a way as to not cause stigmas in their ...

He Still Moves Stones

Max Lucado

Thomas Nelson, 1993

Best Book by Lucado
I've read most of Max Lucado's books and this is not only my favorite by him but my favorite book of all time. (Well, except for the Bible.) This book is helpful in some way for anyone who reads it. I have given this book as a gift for so many people going through a tough time and it has helped each one. No one tells a story in quite the way Lucado does. It is hard to put his books ...

I'm gushing about this book all over the place
It's embarrassing to say this, but I was told to read this book by a friend who gushed about it. Normally, I run away from books that are gushed about. But I had to read it. She stood over me until I did. Now it's my turn to gush. Read this book. If you're looking for everything in a book: a great read, beauty, real characters, adventure, action, secrets, and deep meaning, well, you've ...

These Tennis Shoes Rock!

Armed with modern gadgets, the boy, named Jim, his sister ...

Precious story!
Both the older edition and this newer one are just precious!I'd recommend this for families with young children. Also nice as a gift book for religios milestones in a Christian child's life.

Love Without End...Jesus Speaks

46 reviews
Glenda Green

Spiritis Publishing, 2002

The VERY best Spiritual Book I have EVER read!
As one who has been committed to the Path for a LONG time, I feel confident in saying that the new version of Love Without End is the most complete Spiritual Teaching you will ever find. Each sentence is a Gem ... that you could mediate on for quite awhile. I have read this book (and marked it up really good!) at least six times. A Miracle of LOVE indeed... Gratefully, Dr. David ...

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

42 reviews
Paramahansa Yogananda

Self-Realization Fellowship, 2004

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 the new concepts that are being presented. I have found that I stop a lot just to say "AMAZING". Reading this is a pleasure. It ...

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence

Sarah Young

Amazon Remainders Account, 2004

Great Gift
I received this book as a gift and I am now "paying it forward" and giving it to others as a gift. Great way to start off each day by feeding the spirit and creating a "focus" for the day.

In the Footsteps of Jesus

45 reviews
Bruce Marchiano

Harvest House Pub, 2001

Joy!
What a joy to read the book and be given the idea that Jesus was joyful and loving, not like other Hollywood movies where Jesus never blinks and is very pious. This Jesus character related to the people he was here to save. Loved the book and the movie-which is word for word the Gospel of Matthew.

The Tale of Three Trees: A Traditional Folktale

75 reviews
Angela Elwell Hunt, Tim Jonke (Illustrator)

Cook Communications, 2004

Christian Classic
There is something absolutely timeless about this story--that is probably where the "traditional folktale" bit comes in. I'm not sure just how old the story itself is but I can see why it is still loved today. Ms. Hunt does an incredible job retelling this meaningful and beautiful story of a connection with Jesus Christ through sweet, emotional prose and fantastic pictures. Definitely a keeper.

Life of Christ

Fulton J Sheen

McGraw-Hill, 1958

A String of Pearls...
Maybe you are of an age that you remember when the Venerable Bishop Sheen was on the television? I am not one of those people. Maybe you know about Bishop Sheen being an "old" preacher, and maybe that concerns you? It concerned me. But under the guidance of someone I trust I purchased this book 3 years ago and read it. It is a string of perfect pearls! Each chapter deals with one ...

Cosmic Christmas

Max Lucado

Thomas Nelson, 1997

A Wonderful Christmas Story
I always imagined Jesus' birth as a peaceful event, lambs lowing, all's right with the world. This book opened my eyes to other possibilities and it's probably much closer to the truth.

The Journey, a very thought provoking guide to life.
The Journey is an easily readable, comfortable and understandable book. It is filled with a very special man's understanding, appreciation, and love for God and his fellowman. I contains a lot of common sense wisdom gained over a lifetime of serving God. I enjoyed it's insights. Reading it has made me a better person. I have a greater feeling of being loved by God despite all my faults. I ...

Divine Mercy: Jesus Speaks to St. Faustina of His Divine Mercy

28 reviews
John P. Barrett

Marians of the Immaculate Conception, 2003

Buy the book and study it.
I found this book to be a wonderful aid to my spiritual life. At one point in the book Jesus tells Sister Faustina to write in her diary because it will be helpful to souls who would read it later. I am one of those souls. At times I felt as if Christ was speaking to me through her. This book helped me so much to understand more fully how vast is the love of God. So vast that none of us will ...

Warboys Media & Arrow Publications, 2005

I Felt The Love
I loved this book and I enjoyed reading it so much, I'm going to reread it very soon. It was as if the Lord was talking directly to me. It is so loving, kind and gentle. I know that nothing in this world really matters because it will all pass away. The only thing that reallly matters is the love of God the Father. I felt that love when I read this book. I thank Wendy Alec for sharing these ...

The Way Of The Master: How to Share Your Faith Simply, Effectively, Biblically-- The Way Jesus Did

27 reviews
Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron

Tyndale House Publishers, 2004

This is eye-opening!
I was very skeptical at first when reading the book but it made more sense as I read. Then I actually tried to witness like this and I was AMAZED! People are not offended but are struck silent by what comes out of their mouths. Most of the Evangelical American church does not realize they are preaching a modern gospel. I am doing what I can to preach the truth in love.

Understanding God's Love: A Study of the Misunderstanding and Misrepresentation of God

25 reviews
Ronald Greib

Christian Traditions Publishing, 1999

Profound and Exciting Bible Study
This is the best book I have ever read for explaining scripture. It makes so much sense and puts everything about God's love for us into clear, cohesive, and proper prospective.

Experiencing the depths of Jesus Christ

30 reviews
Jeanne Marie Bouvier de La Motte Guyon

Christian Books, 1975

Practical Christian Spirituality
Guyon has given the church a spiritual gem. And this gem has been mostly hidden... hidden by years of religious junk that is void of life-changing power! She writes of what many call "the deeper Christian life" when it is truthfully... the normal Christian life. Unfortunately, it is this Christian life that most believers never mature and grow up into. Guyon calls believers to learn a new ...

Dear and Glorious Physician

35 reviews
Taylor Caldwell

Bantam Books, 1981

Will always be in my library.
Love this book about the physician, Luke, who wrote the Gospel according to Luke. Fiction, yes, but such an accurate depiction of the human struggle for spiritual relevance and the rebellion of the human soul. The detail and depth of characters, the complex and rewarding plot and the historical accuracy make this one of the finest works ever done by any author, in my opinion. Rarely does reading ...

The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships

31 reviews
Rev. Jeff Miner, John Tyler Connoley

Jesus Metropolitan Community Church, 2002

Shocking!
The most unique quality of this book is the chapter "Finding Affirmation in Scripture." While many authors (including myself) focus on the passages that are often misused to condemn homosexuality, Rev. Jeff Miner and John Tyler Connoley go one step further and examine the often overlooked passages where the Bible speaks of same-sex couples in a positive light. I highly recommend this to anyone ...
