Mission To The Headhunters2 reviews
Frank and Marie Drown
Christian Focus, 2002
A new favorite
+ Captivating, Real, and Challenging
This book is one of the best I've read. Frank and his wife have done an excellent job of telling the story of how God used them in the jungles of Ecuador. I was challenged and encouraged in my faith. I couldn't put the book down.

If there is one book that I would recommend to my evangelical friends regarding how to be a faithful Christian in a post-Christian world while at the same time using your brain in a responsible way this book would be it. Mark Noll has done the evangelical Church a great favour by writing and ...

Carry a Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt (Leaders in Action Series)13 reviews
George Grant
Cumberland House Publishing, 1996
A Must-Read for the U.S. History Student!
+ Carry A Big Stick
What a wonderful book! Teddy Roosevelt was brilliantly ressurected for us by George Grant in this comprehensive, yet easy-to-read work (because of the chapter lengths). Section 1 is a biography of his life; Section 2 contains short chapters on his character, and many sides to his life; Section 3 ...

In modern times, the Church emulates the world. Saints of all denominations dress, talk, and pray like the world-especially in the house of the Lord. Today's worship is just another production in which we can feel good about ourselves so we can go home and finish making Sunday dinner. Personal ...

Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody From 1550 to 18002 reviews
Anonymous, William Billings, ...
Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1996
Duplicate of 'Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2'
+ Great recording reissued
Please note this CD is identical to another His Majestie's Clerkes CD, "Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2 (Anglo-American Psalmody: 1550-1800)" but with a different cover and name! I bought both and was irritated to discover this. The other version is cheaper, so I would suggest getting that one.

+ An amazing look at the life of a spiritual giant
I've long since lost the religious fervor that led me to read Augustine's Confessions for the first time some 40 years ago. But I've never tired of re-reading it, which I do every five years or so. For in addition to being an exquisitely written prayer, it's also a penetrating analysis of the ...
