The 3:16 Promise: He Loves. He Gives. We Believe. We Live.

5 reviews
Max Lucado

Thomas Nelson, 2007

A book that makes a great gift
Max Lucado has a way to illustrate concepts in the bible to make them crystal clear. I was raised with daily bible reading at the dinner table and know the bible well. As well as I know it, reading Max Lucado's books, and especially 3:16, has renewed and deepened the realization that God's love as expressed in Jesus is all encompassing and unconditional. He loves me when I don't love, or even ...

Death By Love - A+
Death By Love: Letters from the Cross is the second book that Pastor Mark Driscoll and Western Seminary Professor Gerry Breshears have teamed up to write. Without a hint of his trademark irreverence or humor, Driscoll presents one of the most pastoral books written on the cross this decade. The central symbol of Christianity is the cross, the place where our God died, the "crux of both the ...

Thomas Nelson, 1994

Sweet re-telling of the Nativity
This is a warm and tender version of the birth of Christ. its main theme is that Jesus came not only to seek out the lost, but He uses even the least of us for his kingdom. All children need to know that they are indeed precious creations, lovingly endowed by God with special gifts. This book is a hit with my 3-year-old class, and it is good to read to older children, as well.

Driven by Eternity: Making your life count today and forever
A must read for Christians and non-Christian alike. Before reading, hang up your pre-conceived ideas, your denominational teachings and the teachings of the world and read with an open mind with your bible at hand for reference. While reading, discern what God is telling you rather than theological think tanks that have their own denominational adgenda. This book makes you think deeper about the ...

Preacher Vol. 7: Salvation

21 reviews
Garth Ennis

Vertigo, 1999

the weakest in the series
Salvation is the weakest of the nine collections, but that isn't to say it is bad in any way, it's still a darn good book (and really, it is only weak compared to its own work, and not that much weaker). The real problem is that for a while we are taken completely out of Jesse's quest to find God. And Tulip and Cassady are both missing. Maybe for a one shot it would have worked, but we were too ...

B&H Books, 2007

Beth Moore is awesome!
This was given to me as a gift last month for Mother's Day and I love it! Beth Moore really has been used by God to speak straight to your heart. I love her challenging me in every chapter. It is exactly what I need. She has done it yet again!

Terminator Salvation: From the Ashes: The Official Prequel Novelization

23 reviews
Timothy Zahn

Titan Books, 2009

The perfect complement to the movie
This book, which takes place 5-6 months before the movie, is an excellent introduction to the post-Judgment Day world of 2018. We meet most of the main characters of the movie and get some insight into their history, character, and motivations. We also get a real look at what day-to-day life is like in the post-apocalypse, not just for the epic heroes but also for average people trying to survive ...

Tara Bennett

Titan Books, 2009

Spectacular art; great book!
I gambled when I ordered The Art of Terminator Salvation but the bet paid off. I am very impressed with this book. The artwork is top-notch. It's thick with hundreds of great illustrations and much detail. Fans of the Terminator saga will not be disappointed. If the film left you hungry for more, this is the seconds you were yearning for. --Guy P. Harrison, author of Race and Reality: ...

Challenging
It is very challenging to explore what forgiveness means in the light of the deep realities faced so honestly here.

Dr David Jeremiah

Integrity Publishers, 2006

Grace, an amazing subject
This is truly the best book I have read next to the Bible. It has totally changed my understanding of how deeply God loves us. I was completely captivated this summer. It has so deeply touched me that I have been sharing it with everyone. I want everyone to know in their heart of hearts how much God loves them and that He will search the ends of the earth to find them if He has to. I have people ...

Andy Stanley

Multnomah Books, 2004

WOW
I was given this book yesterday at church...our pastor bought a bunch and is giving them away....now I see why. I'm going to order these to have on hand myself to give out. So direct and yet non-confrontational...that you can give these to everyone you care about. Easy to read and yet profound...Andy Stanley gets to the heart of the gospel so that everyone reading this will know at the end what ...

John MacArthur

Zondervan, 2008

Clear Presentation of the Gospel
This is probably the best book I have read which clearly and easily explains the Gospel as Jesus did. A true Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, receives Him both as Lord and Savior. The Book is separated into six parts: * Today's Gospel: Good News or Bad * Jesus Heralds His Gospel * Jesus Illustrates His Gospel * Jesus Explains His Gospel * Jesus Fulfills His ...

John Piper

Crossway Books, 2007

Warning about NPP (New Perspective Theology)
Warning about NPP (New Perspective Theology on Paul). A well thought out discussion over the debate concerning NT Wright and the traditional Reformed view of Justification. It asks very important questions related to the doctrine of justification and then attempts to answer each in light of historical and Biblical theology. What is most interesting about this book is that Piper took the time ...

Dennis Covington

Da Capo Press, 2009

A Stirring Accont of Serpent Handling in the Pentecostal Movement!
I have had this book for several years now and have read it multiple times. What an amazing book this is! Covington weaves these stories of the mountain folk and really draws you into their world. I was first attracted to this book because my grandmother is a devout, mountain Holinesss, Pentecostal woman. Coming from the foothills of the Appalachians, she and many of my kin brought the tradition ...

Greg Cox

No John or Sarah...finally!
I really liked the fact that John and Sarah Conner got a mention but for the most part they were NOT in the book. About time we see ANOTHER side of the Terminator Universe. Very refreshing and a very good read!

If Grace is True: Why God Will Save Every Person

Philip Gulley, James Mulholland

HarperOne, 2004

A good boook
Mr Muholland and Mr. Gulley really explain God to me in a way I can relate to. Hell fire and brimstone have really never made sense to me. Life is NOT black and White. We are all shades of gray.
