READ THIS BOOK!

Honestly, if you are only going to read one book this year make it "Finding God in the Bible"!!! Author Darren Wilson grew up in the church and yet never learned to speak Christian-ese. (Thankfully) This well written book is refreshing and provides a lot of insight into the stories of the bible that I have heard a hundred times. Somehow Mr. Wilson managed to pull something out of each of those stories that I had never thought about before. My heart feels full after reading this book. God is so thoroughly in love with me and just wants me to be His friend. What a crazy idea! BTW, I was given this book free in exchange for an honest review.

Unseen - Book Review

Sometimes I really want to be able to write a positive review because a book contains important information. "Unseen" by Jack Graham falls into that category. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past to poor writing. He has excellent points but he takes so long getting to them that I find myself skimming or even flipping past them. For example: "If you find yourself distracted by the hum of the air-conditioner, the tilt of the dusty lampshade, or the dog barking at cars as they drive by, simply ask God to gently tug your thoughts back to him - his character, his kindness, his purposes in his world." This sentence reflects the majority of writing. His editor needed to tell him to stop using so many commas. Having said that, Mr. Graham does a good job of reminding the reader of what's important and of the vast realm we don't see. Let us not forget the battle raging! Oh, and by the way, I got this book free from Bethany House in exchange for an honest review.
