Review of The Red Letters Project

The Red Letter Project is well worth listening to. My favorite band growing up would always have scriptures associated with their songs so this music was easy for me to enjoy. With all the words straight from the Bible it will without a doubt become one of my favorites to listen to. Also, this will help you memorize scriptures. The music style is mostly rock and roll but do not let that become a stumbling block to not trying it out.

Tyndale House Publishers has provided you with a complimentary copy of this product.

How to Build a Life-Changing Men's Ministry: Practical Ideas and Insights for Your Church Review

This book is absolute must for any church starting, redoing or jump starting their men’s ministry. The author, Steve Sonderman, has taken the successes and failures of men’s ministry from his experiences as well as others to help create building blocks for churches to follow. It is great to have a book where you do not have to reinvent the wheel for a men’s ministry. This is a great tool for creating a successful men’s ministry.

There is a lot of information so to read it one time would be a disservice for you and your church. I will be reading this over and over again to soak up as much of the information I can.

I received this complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers

The Map: The Way of All Great Men review

I normally do not read fiction so I knew going into reading The Map that I would need to prepare myself for a little fiction. It was well worth the preparation. The first half of the book is fiction and the second half is not. I really enjoyed the adventure of the first half of the book in finding “the map”. This helped set the stage for the second half of the book which shows us three journeys in a man’s life.
This is a must read for any man wanting to understand his role in life. Understanding the three journeys will help any man bring balance to his life and deeper understanding of himself. While reading about the journeys and related stories for each one, gave me some much needed insight about events that happened in my life. It helped to look back on these events and realize what I could have done differently or the person going through that event could have done differently.
This book will definitely help me in the future. I plan on reading it over again every six months so I can stay on track and find new ideas that I might have missed from the previous reads.
