Review If God, Why Evil

If God,Why Evil? by Dr. Norman Geisler is a book about evil and God. Let me begin by saying I had a very different view of God and evil before reading this book. I viewed Him as a God of not being good all the time because of everything that goes on in life (hurting people, sickness, wars, abortion, death, etc…). Now my views include: God is love, God is just, God is good, God is perfect etc…

Also, I somehow believed that God created evil which is totally wrong. God is good so that means he cannot create evil. God gave the angels as well as humans a free will so satan choose his evil doings on his own. And this caused a great downward effect on this universe. I know God can fix it but we have to be patient with His timing.

This book will totally change your view of God and evil. Dr Geisler breaks down some complex topics to simple and direct terms. Great book to keep in your library.

Bethany House gave me this book free.

Review - City on Our Knees

I love the song and now I love the book, City On Our Knees by Toby Mac. The cover of the book is awesome it is green with a city skyline. This book is filled with people doing small things that end up being big things. It is divided into four sections by the song lyrics which tie the song and the book together very nicely. This is an easy read. You can skip around or read it start through. This will be a book I will reread again. Get this book you will not be disappointed.

Please note I received a free copy from Bethany House.

Get the Truth

Here is a book that will shed light on how statistics can be misrepresented on Christians; Christians are Hate-Filled Hypocrites...and Other Lies You've Been Told by Bradley R.E. Wright. This book is very informative on not just current trends but trends from the past. The author compares the current graphs to past graphs and the right conclusion can be made. It is nice to know that Christians are not as bad as the press would like you to know. Also, just because one source says something bad about Christianity does not mean it is true. We need more people like Bradley Wright to speak up so that right information is giving. This is a great read and great information on the truth.

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
