Author: Rick Warren - (Paperback) - 2007 ... more
This is my second personal copy. I have bought over 12 copies for family and close friends. They all have been grateful! Great spiritual reading for small groups who don't mind sharing pieces of their life. read full review | report as inappropriate
How can any genuine Christian like this book!? This book is a Trojan horse of the first degree, bringing all sorts of destructive ideas into the church, all couched in nice terms and psuedo-godly rhetoric. Rick Warren says this book is "not about... read full review | report as inappropriate

Author: Pope Benedict XVI - (Hardcover) - 2007 ... more
A few months ago someone asked me what book I would recommend that they give to their adult children who no longer practiced the faith, without hesitation I named this book as the one. At the time I had only read some excerpts available online... read full review | report as inappropriate
It clearly is not for anyone who is unwilling to wade through the thickets of incomprehensible text which was anything but inspiring. I'm what my church used to call a "practicing Catholic" who hoped to be spiritually elevated by the pope's... read full review | report as inappropriate
I do not like Benedict's new book, Jesus of Nazareth. I did not see the "face of God" when reading this book, but rather, a kind of mental "rubik's cube game" which is reflective of the mind of Joseph Ratzinger. No doubt, the Pontiff has a... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: C. S. Lewis - (Paperback) - 2007 ... more
The book was more than I expected. Beautiful cover, nice ribbon marker. C.S. Lewis has some wonderful works. It's nice to have a fair share of them in one large book. read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Randy C. Alcorn - (Hardcover) ... more
I have read over 100 books on the subject of Heaven and I have never read one that touches the soul as Randy Alcorn does in his book called Heaven. It is so informative, easy to read and understand and he backs up everything with scripture. There... read full review | report as inappropriate
From Chapter 6: "My concern was not so much that he believed the intermediate Heaven isn't physical (Maybe he's right)"..."We shouldn't find it surprising"..."It seems reasonable"..."It makes sense"...THAT is the tone of Alcorn's book. If you want... read full review | report as inappropriate
Heaven by Randy Alcorn turned out to be just a booklet and not what I expected. Since I already own the hard cover copy of the unabridged edition, I was looking for a paperback version for gift giving. My fault. Should have read the information... read full review | report as inappropriate

Author: C. S. Lewis - (Paperback) - 2001 ... more
C.S. Lewis is perhaps the twentieth century's finest Christian writer. This book is no doubt one of Professor Lewis' most wonderful works. He offers a simple, clear view of Christianity. Beware! To truly understand and appreciate this... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author's argument for belief in God apparently is derived from what he sees is our innate knowledge of the law of right and wrong. I'm confused as to why christian apologists often assert this as something obvious, when it seems to me to be... read full review | report as inappropriate
C. S. Lewis has been compared to such robust Christian and literary personalities as Chesterton and Samuel Johnson, and like them it's impossible to sum him up in a single sentence. Well -- Lewis was a fascinating man. I doubt he would have... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Stasi Eldredge, John Eldredge - (Paperback) ... more
This is one of the hardest books that I have ever read...the urge to chuck it across the room hit me more than once. It's dead on accuracy with describing women was amazing and frustrating. I was forced to examine areas of my life that I didn't... read full review | report as inappropriate
As a writer and journalism major (i.e., word freak), I couldn't help but dissect the title. The root of the word captivating is captive. John Eldredge, a former counselor for Focus on the Family, also wrote Wild At Heart, which is sort of the... read full review | report as inappropriate
I like the book so far and identify with the longings that most women have. I only wish that the book would teach these through usage of more scripture and less emphasis on beauty although I understand the author says that it is more about inner... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: N.T. Wright - (Hardcover) - 2006 ... more
N.T. Wright provides a powerful work in the spirit of C.S. Lewis's classic Mere Christianity. For all of those who, like me, enjoy Lewis, Wright offers a more comprehensive and biblically consistent tour of Christian ideas. He begins... read full review | report as inappropriate
N. T. Wright is a gifted essayist and his apologetics is among the very best. But stating the central doctrines of Jesus and Saint Paul, while useful for those who cannot focus on biblical texts, also misses the point. Preaching to the choir, like... read full review | report as inappropriate
If this guy has such a wonderful ability to explain the complex simply, why don't the reviewers manage to say what his main point is? read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Kenneth Brighenti, John Trigilio - (Paperback) ... more
As a retired college professor and as a former Director of a Pontifical Center for Catechetical Studies, I fully endorse and highly recommend this book to both non-Catholic and Catholic alike. Long ago in the seminary, we referred to a few... read full review | report as inappropriate
I have just looked at the sample pages, specifically P. 14, where it is written: "Catholics are taught that all men and women are made in the image and likeness of God and that all men and women have been saved by Christ and are adopted children... read full review | report as inappropriate
They bilk the parishioners, as the priest live in a lap of luxury surrounded by gold. Everyone knows the Vatican has Billions of dollars, but keeps it's book secret so we can not know how many billions they have. Meanwhile, in the churches where... read full review | report as inappropriate

I enjoyed "Blue Like Jazz" so much that I pre-ordered this one a month ago. It arrived yesterday and I read it this morning, lingering over a long breakfast at a local cafe. It was actually a bit embarrassing as I kept laughing out loud. Other... read full review | report as inappropriate
After having enjoyed Blue Like Jazz, I went just had to buy this book. What a disappointment. His prose style was extremely irritating, full of stuff like "Here's what I am trying to say..." -- just say it!!!! Took me forever to get through the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Donald Miller writes an appropriate follow up to his most recent book "Blue Like Jazz". Like "jazz" this book doesn't really seem to have a concise point or direction, but rather he writes as though he is engaged in a long conversation about... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Philip Yancey - (Paperback) ... more
When asked what was totally unique to Christianity, the great C.S. Lewis once responded, "Oh, that's easy. It's grace."
But what exactly is grace? Read this book and find out. Mr. Yancey brilliantly explains grace in terms anyone can... read full review | report as inappropriate
I appreciate what Yancey was trying to do with this book, but his depiction of God's Grace was not necessarily wrong, but extremely limited in scope. Yancey discusses the power of Forgiveness in the Christian life and how merely the knowledge of... read full review | report as inappropriate
Well-written as are all of Yancey's books, full of passion and good ideas, What's so Amazing About Grace is also seriously out of balance, in my opinion. The uncritical adulation heaped upon the book by the Christian community, and Yancey's... read full review | report as inappropriate
