I buy these bibles by the case as an evangeliziing tool - to give to people as gifts. Last week I heard a teenage girl light up in her group of friends expressing joy that this bible was a comic book - this made the others wish they too had listened and engaged in thoughtful discussion about the meaning of life. Of all the comic book like bible books, I like this one the best because it is very ...             Knowing God76 reviews J. I. Packer InterVarsity Press, 1993 Great book, true classic The updated version of Packer's book features a new preface, an addition to the fourth chapter, and "Americanization" of the text (spelling and such). The list of endorsing readers is quite impressive, many singing the praises after having read the first edition. Apart from that, the book has been left alone, and Packer stated his hopes that the book would continue to enrich the lives of those ...             Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations64 reviews Random House Audio, 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 daughter is reading it now and loves it and I want my husband to read it next. I will recommend it to everyone I know who has a teen or ...             Fresh Wind Fresh Fire Unabr Aud CD136 reviews Jim Cymbala Zondervan, 2001 Inspiring One of the more inspiring books I've ever read.

Sproul Ligonier Ministries, 2006 This is flat out good stuff... I told someone recently that I was reading The Holiness of God by Sproul and they looked at me like I was an alien. They responded with surprise that I had not read it and went on to rave about the book. Sometimes books get a bit too much pub and then don't live up to the hype; however, this book is not one of them. The Holiness of God is classic Sproul and it is a much needed message for the ...             The How-To Book of the Mass: Everything You Need to Know but No One Ever Taught You50 reviews Michael Dubruiel Our Sunday Visitor, 2002 A concise and well-written overview of the Mass I converted to Catholicism 4 years ago and still found many things clarified and/or pointed out in this book. It is well done and I highly recommend. In fact, I've shared with our Deacon and RCIA director for their use.             The Normal Christian Life47 reviews Watchman Nee Living Stream Ministry, 2001 Now I See When I was 9 years old I got my first pair of glasses and was amazed by the detail and clarity of my new vision. What was once green blobs atop brown cylinders became gorgeous, complex trees in their full, leafy glory. In a similar way, thanks to Nee, I see the details and wholeness of God's greatest gift to us, His Son. Watchman Nee makes Paul's Letter to the Romans accessible and ...             The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives38 reviews Dallas Willard Hovel Audio, 2007 A Prescription for the Anemic Church In this book, Dallas Willard describes Christ's "easy yoke" of discipleship and corrects some erroneous beliefs as to what a life of discipleship entails. This does not replace the Gospel but is rather a fuller understanding of how to access the benefits available to us in our salvation. Just as an athlete's entire life is devoted to the discipline of exercise, practice, diet, rest, etc. to ...             7 prácticas efectivas del Liderazgo34 reviews Joiner, Jones, ... Peniel, 2006 A book every minister should read I have been amiss in not writing a review of this book. It is a great little book on effective ministry. His ideas of seeking the win are great. Everyone wants to be on the winning team, and churches need to define what a win is. Also, his stuff on reviewing ministry is important. So many congregations do the work every year, but some of the programs are dead, but no one will stop them. His ...             Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World46 reviews John MacArthur Crossway Books, 2001 MacArthur: Today's Charles Spurgeon The brilliance of John MacArthur's book, "Ashamed of the Gospel" is that it was written long before Rick Warren and Bill Hybels were household names. MacArthur, like Spurgeon a century ago, is one of our generation's leading apologist for defending the faith and the intregrity of biblical doctrines. The evangelical church that I knew (until about 1995) was a place where the gospel was upheld ...             Life Of The Beloved42 reviews Henri J Nouwen Crossroad Publishing Company, 1996 A quick read that deserves to be re-read over and over This book is truly life-changing. I read this book after borrowing it from the library. I rarely buy books that I have already read, but this one is an exception. It is so full of wisdom that I want to carry it with me and read it often. Nouwen's writing is extremely clear and accessible, he is speaking to the reader as a good friend. And yet, his message could not be more profound. He leads us ...             Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life36 reviews Beth Moore B&H Publishing Group, 2000 GREAT BOOK-SHIPPING HIGH Several of my friends and I are using this book for an e-mail small group Bible study. It is well suited for that with its short chapters and review questions. I ordered 3 items at exactly the same time and had to pay 3 separate shipping charges. I probably would not do that kind of shopping again.             The Pursuit of Holiness35 reviews Jerry Bridges NavPress Publishing Group, 2004 Walking in Holiness Should we "let go and let God", trusting Him to bring us victory in the battle for holiness? Jerry Bridges would answer this question with a firm "no." Instead, he would lead us to "grab hold and let God." In other words, Bridges charges us to take hold of the resources Christ offers us to kill sin's power and cultivate the fruit of the Spirit. In Bridges' view, holiness is not a matter of ...             The Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church37 reviews Reggie McNeal Hovel Audio, 2007 Must Read This book is a must read for Christians who are not satisfied with their spiritual life and a MUST READ for those in churches considering major capital expenditures that will serve only the members.

It is the most exciting and inspirational book in my library.             How to study your Bible34 reviews Kay Arthur Precept Ministries], 1985 Study the Bible with the Bible The most basic of biblical interpretation rules is that the Bible is best interpreted with the Bible itself. This book is a primer in the most effective way to study the Bible using the Bible. The inductive method of bible study is one of many ways to study the Bible, but it is one of the most effective. Many have read the Bible devotionally and have never actually studied its words. This book ...             The Three Battlegrounds: The Mind, the Church and the Heavenly Places45 reviews Francis Frangipane New Wine Ministries, 1994 The Three Battlegrounds This was an excellent book which answered a lot of questions.
