Review: The Hole in Our Gospel

21, May 2009

Oh, wow. Talk about a book that will make you determine if you are really living out the "second greatest commandment."

Review: Killing Cockroaches

7, Apr 2009

Tony Morgan's latest book, Killing Cockroaches, is something of a unique book in terms of readability. It offers a format that can be both a strength and a weakness.

Here's part 2 of my review on Six Prayers God Always Answers, by Mark Herringshaw and Jennifer Schuchmann.
How many times do people find themselves at the end of the rope, literally at the end of themselves, and they cry out to God with a prayer in the form of a bargain? Does God answer these [...]

Review: Six Prayers God Always Answers, part 1

12, Sep 2008

Wow, looking at my margin notes for this book, I may have to split this review into parts.
At first glance, you might think that Six Prayers God Always Answers, by Mark Herringshaw and Jennifer Schuchmann, is going to be just another book on prayer and how to prayer. You crack open the pages expecting a [...]
