Death by Love: Letters from the Cross (Re:Lit)

Mark Driscoll, Gerry Breshears

Crossway Books, 2008

Driscoll's Best Yet
Death by Love is Mark Driscoll's fourth book (or eighth if you count the "A Book You'll Actually Read" series of booklets released earlier this year by Crossway) and the second to be released in the 2008 calendar year. It follows Vintage Jesus, Confessions of a ...

How Good Is Good Enough (Six-Pack) (LifeChange Books)

Andy Stanley

Multnomah Books, 2004

Back Door Approach to Gospel
This is an outstanding, simple, short little booklet that gives a powerful, backdoor approach to the Gospel. It's perfect to give to someone searching for the truth about heaven, hell, eternity, answers, Jesus.... Shares that it is only in Christianity...true ...

Preacher Vol. 7: Salvation

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 ...

Breaking Free: Discover the Victory of Total Surrender

Beth Moore

B&H Publishing Group, 2007

A life changing book
I own a hardback copy of this book and have read it through twice now. If you're tired of living in the stronghold of anything...addiction, pride, greed, jealousy, guilt, insecurity, etc., then pick up a copy of this book. Breaking free from those strongholds doesn't ...

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?

John MacArthur

Zondervan, 2008

One of the most important books in the past 20 years
I first read this book when it was published in 1988. It countered the easy believism, self-delusional evangelism pervasive in my then-independent Baptist circles and confirmed the serious gospel of God's grace. I read several of the one-star reviews, and they ...

Now I Can Die in Peace: How ESPN's Sports Guy Found Salvation, with a Little Help from Nomar, Pedro, ...

Bill Simmons

ESPN, 2006

If you have ever read Bill Simmons, it's a must read!
I have read some of the articles before but not many of them. But I have followed him on ESPN and he is one of the most entertaining sportswriters that I know. I don't even like the Red Sox because I'm an Oakland fan, but he does make it very enjoyable. Definitely ...

Salvation (Dark Elves, Books 3-4)

Jet Mykles

Loose Id, LLC, 2008

YEP I WANTED TO READ THIS BOOK AFTER BOOK 1--2 THATS RARE

Salvation in Death (In Death)

J.D. Robb

Putnam Adult, 2008

She just keeps getting better!
I really don't know how she does it. I think I would use all my ideas in one book were I to write one, but JD Robb comes up with such great stuff that even modern TV shows have to steal from her (CSI a couple of weeks ago was SO Portrait in Death) Her writing was ...

3:16: The Numbers of Hope (3:16)

Max Lucado

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Numbers to live by
Master storyteller and popular pastor Max Lucado is at his best in his 130-page riff on one of the best-loved passages of the Bible, John 3:16, a verse he beautifully calls "an alphabet of grace, a table of contents to the Christian hope, each word a safe-deposit box ...

Driven by Eternity: Making Your Life Count Today & Forever

John Bevere

FaithWords, 2006

A Must-Read
This book has impacted how I think and act on a daily basis. It brought eternity into focus for me and has changed many of the beliefs I had accepted without really challenging them against scripture. Bevere gives multiple scriptures as back up for his premises. We ...

For the first time, the stories of Laura and 17 other former polygamist wives are being told in book form. Unique among books on this topic, God?s Brothel presents accounts from 10 of the 11 major Mormon polygamist sects ...

JLA: Salvation Run (Jla (Justice League of America) (Graphic Novels))

Bill Willingham, Matt Sturges

DC Comics, 2008

Missed opportunity
On rare occasions, a comic story has the opportunity to transcend the normal parameters of its somewhat simpler and lighter format to explore deeper and more thoughtful terrain. When this does happen, a work of exceptional quality can be produced, thereby elevating the ...

A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture

Scott Hahn

Servant Publications, 1998

Seeking Advice
All I want to do at present is study the Gospels with a little help from Scott Hahn, so I think Hahn's books on the Gospels of Mark and Matthew would be a more appropriate beginning point for a recently converted Catholic to begin reading the Gospels for the first time ...

Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation

Miroslav Volf

Abingdon Press, 1996

The Cross, the Self, and the Other
Miroslav Volf has written a somewhat complex piece that in the end advocates non-violence in a world of violence. He writes as one who has been in the war zone of the Balkans and come out the other side. This book is important for what it has to say about justice, but ...

Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen: A Novel

Susan Gregg Gilmore

Shaye Areheart Books, 2008

Great Story!
What a great story! Enjoyed reading about Catherine Grace and all her family. Gloria Jean is a fun character and someone a reader can take to heart because she isn't perfect. I sat next to the author, Susan Gregg Gilmore at a bookfair in Lexington, KY and it was fun ...
