Each year I enter the Reading Challenge hosted by Goodreads.com. I try to set a reachable reading goal (hoping to exceed it, but not fall short of it) and I enter every book I read on the site to keep track. I fully intended to post a review of each book here as I completed …
A few weeks ago, a lady at our church who is fellow book-lover, loaned me a missionary story called To the Golden Shore. “I think you’ll like it,” she said, and she was right. I wanted to share it with you, and encourage you to read this wonderful book about Adoniram Judson. I must say …
In the autumn of last year, a man in our church loaned me a copy of this book by A. W. Pink. I don’t think he meant for me to keep it six months, but I have. It has taken me that long to read this short, 117 page book. The reason? I am not …
I fear I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but I have to say it yet again about another book: It was so good! The Personal Spiritual Life convicted me and helped me in many ways. Dr. Peter Masters, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England, helps us navigate our way through a …
One of the many things I’d planned to do on the blog this summer was to write several book reviews and host a book giveaway. I know that the summer is not over, but it’s rapidly passing. I cannot believe that June has almost bid adieu. I have several tasks beckoning me to come hither …
A friend in our church recommended this book to me. I was a little afraid of tackling it just based on the title: The Holiness of God. I felt unworthy to even attempt to wrap my weak, human brain around it. God is holy, so holy that we cannot see Him in this flesh and live. …
The book begins with narration from “death”. That’s right, death tells us the story of Liesel Meminger, the book thief. “Death” likes to use colors to describe much of what he sees. I just finished the book and I’d like to describe it in colors for you now: The beginning is gray with smattering of …
Desperate for some new (and free!) reading material, I requested the book Be Still My Soul by Joanne Bischof, to review for Blogging for Books. This is Joanne’s first novel, and she makes a good first impression. Go ahead and read the first chapter. Or, find out more about the author. From the back of the …
I’ve owned the book, Suffering and Death: The Saint’s Highest Calling since about a year after my dad went to heaven. I can vividly recall the first time I ever saw this book. It was lying on my brother’s desk, many years ago. We were working in the church he pastored in Hot Springs, where …
I admit it: I hate, no, I despise math! This strong dislike began when I started learning the multiplication facts in third grade. Our Christian school had a skeleton crew, so drilling and practice wasn’t enforced with regularity. I also failed to memorize addition and subtraction facts until I was much older…like, when I started …
