Book Review: A Minute of Vision for Men by Robert Patterson
My first thought when I received this book was that it’d be a great gift for Chris, a colleague at work. [Nothing better than a gift that costs nothing :)] But first, the review. So I read it at record speed, noting the following: From the title to the colors to the content, the book Read more

Dead Lawyers Tell No Tales, by Randy Singer (Tyndale)
Some books take a good 20 pages to set the stage before actually telling the story. That’s not Singer. With him there’s no dillydallying; he pulls you right into the story in the very first page. I like that. By the same logic, I would have liked to seen the lawyers die a bit sooner. Instead it Read more

lead for god’s sake by todd gongwer (tyndale)
It took me forever to get through this book. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a great book on the principles of servant leadership. It’s got strong practical, applicative points to make. It’s got a decent story line. It just wasn’t my style; that’s all. Gongwer, weaves in leadership attributes and lessons through a story–a parable, Read more

the witness by dee henderson (tyndale)
For me, the book was just meh. Plot line was rather formulaic and predictable. And there was very little character development. I loved the author’s use of descriptive language, though.It kept me engaged despite the stuff I didn’t care for. Maybe I’m biased because I have an aversion to books labeled as religious fiction simply Read more

tj and the time stumblers by bill myers (tyndale)
Writing fiction for kids cannot be easy. Interests, expressions, language, technology and everything else about each age group changes quicker than one can write a book. With that recognition, I don’t mean to be overly critical of this book. First, all the stuff about it that I think kids would like: The plot is centered Read more

the reason why by mark mittelberg (tyndale)
My spirituality was rote in many ways until I was almost 30 and began to question why I believed what I believed. With my discovery came a determination to encourage my children to question the faith they were reared into and discover with clarity their personal manifesto. My son’s manifesto and its evolution over 10 Read more

beneath the night tree, by nicole baart (tyndale)
First, the good things about the book: 1) God is part of the story. In fact, He is center to the story. I like Christian fiction that is about lives that reflect the characters’ relationship (or lack or relationship) with God. The ones that throw in a prayer here and there are too fake even Read more

new year’s resolution still on track. yay ;)
I began this year determined to pick a resolution that I actually might succeed in keeping. So I picked the WordPress challenge to blog every day. I figured since I’m always writing about something or the other, this may be the year I stay focused on my resolve. But then there are days like today Read more

turn-the-other-cheek, Tyndale style
Right now I feel like God’s step child. And here’s the why behind it. About a month ago, I wrote this review of Tyndale’s new devotional Bible, In His Image. Outrightly blunt, I pretty much told all my readers not to buy the devotional Bible. Worse yet, I strongly implied that they should instead purchase Read more

In His Image Devotional Bible (Tyndale)
When it comes to Bibles, I’m not a purist. I have 15 different kinds by my bedside right now, and even more shelved away. I love the poetic grandness of the King James just as much as the gritty earthiness of the Message. I use the ones with the theological annotations just as much as Read more
