It also is a window into seeing the intense price paid by these 2 committed members of the Family of God. God's character of healing, provision and liberty from evil spirits is clearly revealed in their ...             Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time (The Every Man Series)162 reviews Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker WaterBrook Press, 2000 helpful with a negative slant I think the authors have some really great ideas and it certainly drives the point home. But, from a Christen point of view, it denies an essential part of the emotion. For those Christen readers, read it for content not specifics.             Bruchko: The Astonishing True Story of a 19-Year-Old American, His Capture by the Motilone Indians and His ...64 reviews Bruce Olson Charisma House, 2006 Bruchko One of my all-time favorites. This is the second copy purchased. Never got the other returned.             Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World140 reviews Tracy Kidder Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004 Living Saint! I love Tracy Kidder's books and this is one of the most uplifting and ispirational on my all-time favorite list!             Mountains Beyond Mountains: Healing the World: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer57 reviews Tracy Kidder Random House, 2003 'There's a lot that can be said for sacrifice, remorse, even pity. It's what separates us from roaches' Tracy Kidder's brilliant biography of Dr. Paul Farmer is at once disturbing and exhilarating: disturbing, as it points out all the inequalities in living conditions and health care between the rich and the poor and the staggering statistics about disease and the lack of available medical aid in many parts of the world, and exhilarating to read the selfless commitment of one man to change these ...             The Distant Land of My Father34 reviews Bo Caldwell Harvest Books, 2002 fascinating look at the past I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I hated for it to end. the writing is so well done. The characters are human and interesting. An interesting and informative look at China of the past.             Forgotten Ways, The: Reactivating the Missional Church26 reviews Alan Hirsch Brazos Press, 2007 Fantastic! Provokes good thinking and self examination! Alan's written a great reminder: The Truth of the Word is increasingly being hidden from view by the organized church. Unintentionally perhaps, but it's the net effect. Additionally, the not-yet-Christians have gotten an increasingly distorted view of who Jesus is and what He said. Alan also presents and consistently reinforces a great reminder that it's not a pastor's job to tell others ...             Hawaii: A Novel105 reviews James A. Michener Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002 Fantastic Fictional Tour of Historical Hawaii Mr. Michener's wonderful historical novel on the 50th state masterfully weaves together many smaller individual stories that allow the reader to appreciate this amazing and diverse island group. Hawaii was settled in waves, and book begins with the original human settlement by brave seafarers who could read the waves and locate dots of land in a vast seascape. The reader experiences the later ...             The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel (P.S.)1411 reviews Barbara Kingsolver Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2005 Merits multiple readings The editorial reviews and the other 1409 reader reviews provide as much commentary on this remarkable book as one might want. Needless to say, I enjoyed the story. It operates at several levels just like life. You might dislike some characters but they all seem real to me, sharply etched. You might not like what they say, it can be provocative, thought provoking. You might even imagine the ...             Wild at Heart Field Manual: A Personal Guide to Discover the Secret of Your Masculine Soul27 reviews John Eldredge Thomas Nelson, 2002 New insight into what makes men and women tick This author shared brilliant insight into what makes men and women (but especially men) tick. This insight covers ALL races and religions. It is the solutions offered that really speak to those of the christian faith. I HIGHLY recommend this book!             Following Muhammad: Rethinking Islam in the Contemporary World (Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks)14 reviews Carl W. Ernst The University of North Carolina Press, 2004 Nothing better This is a splendid book for anyone who is trying to understand Islam. No other book situates Muslim concerns in global contexts and thoughout history. The author is a master at clear writing. In my experience when I have recommended this book to people, they come back with smiles on their faces and a new view of today's world. It does not get any better than this for students and the open minds ...             Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community17 reviews Ed Stetzer, David Putman B&H Publishing Group, 2006 North America is a mission field! If I took away one thing from this book, it is that North America is a mission field, and we must treat it as such. Ed Stetzer is an experienced church planter who did research for the North American Mission Board (NAMB) at the time that he wrote the book, and now does research for LifeWay Christian Resources and also consults with NAMB. David Putman is also an experienced church planter. ...             The Jesuit Relations: Natives and Missionaries in Seventeenth-Century North America (The Bedford Series in ...1 review Allan Greer Bedford/St. Martin's, 2000 Great Book If you are student of Native American studies or just interested at all in the early contact of Indians with Europeans this book is perfect. Surprisingly interesting and very helpful in fleshing out an oft shaded part of American/Canadian history. This offers a wonderful though slightly tainted point of view on the customs of specific Indian tribes. My favourite section has to be the writing ...             Chance to Die, A: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael15 reviews Elisabeth Elliot Revell, 2005 Life changing message I have read this book twice over the last decade and each time it has given me life principles applicable to the time of life in which I read it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs an example to live by. I couldn't help but think that if God could do such things in Amy Carmichael, He could certainly do the same in me. What a challenge!             God's Smuggler37 reviews Baker Publishing Group, John Sherrill, ... Chosen, 2001 EXCELLENT I read this book atleast once a year. It is the most exciting and inspirational book in my library.             To the Golden Shore: The Life of Adoniram Judson13 reviews Courtney Anderson Judson Press, 1987 There aren't enough stars To the Golden Shore is one of the most profound books I've ever read. The depth of dedication shown by Adoniram Judson and his family over the years of his ministry leaves me without words. It will break your heart and inspire you to make better use of your time on earth. Every Christian should read this book. And everyone who has read it needs to share it with someone who hasn't.             Always Enough: God's Miraculous Provision among the Poorest Children on Earth23 reviews Rolland and Heidi Baker Chosen, 2003 lover of books An extremely well written book, that is hard to stop reading. All serious Christians need to read a book about surrender, humility, and love for God. As a result of the author's utter dependence upon God and their willingness to live with and help the "poorest of the poor", they saw miracle after miracle. Even people laden with disease and hunger and loneliness ran to God when Heidi ...             From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions14 reviews Ruth A. Tucker Zondervan, 2004 Informative, Entertaining and Eloquent The book is well organized and easy to use. The content is well researched and concise without feeling rushed and choppy. In stark contrast to most surveys of missiological history, the author actually keeps her audience's attention from front to back. Also a contrast to many missions biographies, Tucker finds the balance between a book that reads like fiction and one that reads like an ...             A Simple Path21 reviews Mother Teresa Ballantine Books, 1995 To understand, rather than be understood. The book is perfectly titled. Mother Teresa's biographical information is minimal and the book does not canonize her. Apart from introducing the thoughts of volunteers who work with the Missionaries of Charity, her own words are few. What we find are simple views of a simple path, and beauty in simplicity. This is not the story of a famous nun, it is the story of a way of seeing ones world and of ...             The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice138 reviews Christopher Hitchens Verso, 1997 A superb expose of a deeply hypocritical woman During her lifetime, Mother Teresa was as close to canonization as it was possible to get without actually being dead. The front cover of Time magazine called her a "Living Saint". A cult of holiness surrounded her and in the eyes of the media and many politicians she could do no wrong. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and awarded numerous honors in the countries she visited.
