Great Book for Children

The Boy Who Changed the World by Andy Andrew is an excellent story about George Washington Carver. The book is well written for children with great illustrations. This book will inspire young readers to be the one to change their world. Also, they will not only be inspired but will learn about one of the greatest inventors of all times. Plus they will have an understanding of how people played a role in the life and can affect the course of history.
This is an easy to understand book for children. The illustrations will help keep their attentions. They will not only learn a valuable life lesson but will also learn a little bit about history. This is a great book for a child’s library collection.

The Prophecy Answer Book by Dr. David Jeremiah

If you want answers for the future of mankind, The Prophecy Answer Book by Dr. David Jeremiah is the book for you. This book is nicely divided into different categories ranging from the present day events, antichrist, rapture and more. Revelation along with other books of the bible that has prophecy about the coming of Christ and events can be hard and confusing, but this book breaks down these areas in simple form to understand.

This book will inspire you to talk with other people about prophecies in the bible. I think that one of the most fascinating topics of the book was the Garden of Eden and the oil today. This book will help you think of how events in the past affect the events of today. This is a great book to read and it does not talk over your head.

Review of the The Selfless Gene

The Selfless Gene Living with God and Darwin by Charles Foster is a very thought provoking book for God and Science. I am glad that he has tackled a subject like this because sometimes deep topics need to be broken down into smaller ones to understand them. He does a great job in balancing both sides in this book. I have always believed that the bible proves science and science proves the bible. Most of the time I feel that our brains cannot handle or figure just how it all was works.

This is a great book to read. Do not go into this book expecting a fight with it if you do you will miss out on some great points. Books like these will stretch us in our beliefs and help us to understand God more.

Anatomy of the Soul review

Anatomy of the Soul is a great read for anyone trying to figure out life. This book really had a great impact on me because it confirmed and continued a subject matter that our small group had been talking about. Reading this book can set you free from what I believe to be a huge barrier in a person life, which is shame. We are not the first generation to experience this emotion. It started with Adam and Eve and continues through out the bible and life today. An additional topic that I really liked was about being known. This one is big and there is a whole chapter about it. This book is for anyone wanting to understand themselves and others better. Dr Curt Thompson has written a well-rounded book that blends science and religion together.

Review - Searching For God Knows What

Searching for God Knows What expanded edition is the first book I have ever read by Donald Miller and it will not be my last. The book is very thought provoking. Now I did not think so at first because the first chapter was really different from most books. I had know idea where and what this book was about just from the first chapter but I was determine to find out. I kept on reading it and I am glad I did. The material in this book will get you thinking and see things from a different perspective. I really like how an idea was kept in play from chapter to chapter. This connection led to a deeper understanding of these ideas.

This book is an easy read. Do not be too quick to put down this book after the first chapter. Books like these help a person from getting in a mind set that they have all the answers or there way is always right. There appears to be an online game to play with prizes in the book so that should be an added bonus for any reader.

After reading the first chapter of Radical Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt, you start thinking how have I missed it and how has our churches missed it.

I cannot wait to read the rest of this book.

Plan B - Review

This book, Plan B, by Pete Wilson is a must have for anyone with these types questions: why did my life not turn out the way I thought it would, what is the next step since I am not where I want to be or this was not suppose to happen so now what. This book has met me in a place of me searching for answers in my life. Some of the information is new and some of the information is confirming the words that have been spoken to me in the past few days, weeks and months.

This book is very well written and down to earth read. The first part of the book is gentle in nature. This helps the reader to get to know the heart of the author. Then towards the end of the book some not so gentle advice is giving but it is done in love, mercy and grace. And knowing the author has your best interest at heart it is painless to take. So be prepared for this and your life will be change forever.
