Furrow
AuthorJosemaría Escrivá
ISBN0933932553
Like The Way, Furrow is the fruit of St. Josemaría’s rich interior life and extensive experience as a pastor. Aphoristic and perfect for meditation, Furrow was written in order to encourage and ease personal prayer. These 1000 points for spiritual reflection are directed toward the whole human...
Jacob the Baker: Gentle Wisdom For a Complicated World
AuthorNoah Benshea
I have read this book dozens of times. So glad it is now available electronically and I can always have it with me.

This book, the first in a trilogy, is a great collection of stories, thoughts, penses and ideas. It is a book in the great Jewish wisdom tradition. Jacob is a baker, and each day on his...
Holy Bible: Inspired By The Bible Experience: New Testament
AuthorAnonymous
ISBN0310926319
Always have to give the Bible five stars--it really is an amazing book. As for this translation, I really enjoyed it. The TNIV has the feel and readability of the NIV, although the wordings more frequently diverge from traditional phrasing to fresh renditions. One of the most notable changes is the use...
The Reckoning
AuthorJames Byron Huggins
ISBN1565073673
3.5 stars
I’m confused about something
The book I read was an ebook republishing. But there are many many errors that should have been edited in 2000. It got to the point that I was questioning myself.
But the action was great even if all of the plot twists weren’t tied in a pretty bow by...

The Sword of Camelot
AuthorGilbert L. Morris
ISBN0802436838
As Gilbert Morris' The Seven Sleepers series continues, I'm a little bit worried they're going to become formulaic as the sleepers travel from one land to another, facing down a threat, winning, all while learning a moral. In book three, The Sword of Camelot, Morris falls directly into this particular...
The Weather of the Heart: Selected Poems
AuthorMadeleine L'Engle
ISBN0877889317
Madeleine L'Engle bids us, in her own words, to "sit at sacrament" with her "across a strange and distant table." It is a paschal event, a meal of rememberence.

Where her own hurt is cruciform, we are the more alive. When she admits arrogance in Gethsemane, we, too, remember glutting on unleavened...
Trial by Poison: Mary Slessor
AuthorDave Jackson
ISBN1556612745
I have fond memories of my mom reading these books to us over lunch. And we’d beg her to keep going when lunch was over too, because we just had to know what happened! Well told, engaging, adventuresome and you learn about a famous Christian in history.

Ages: 7+

Stars: A Guide to the Constellations, Sun, Moon, Planets, and Other Features of the Heavens
AuthorHerbert S. Zim
ISBN0307244938
Nice compact and approachable introduction to astronomy and stargazing. It contains a number of practical mnemonics and illustrations that make it a good reference for educators. I even learned a few things. Some of the science is dated however, so take the claim on the cover "Authoritative" under...
Happy Are Those Who Mourn
AuthorAndrew M. Greeley
ISBN0515117617
I like this series. Greeley always tells a complex tale of murder – usually of the ‘locked room’ variety – that could be grim without Blackie Ryan’s affable nature to lighten the mood.

One problem I had with this book centered on the will of the dead priest whose murder is the core of...
God's Armor Bearer
AuthorTerry Nance
ISBN0892747234
This is an excellent read on having a servant heart. It is focused on associate pastor's to their pastor and really works in the context of the church and it's members...but in using the Old Testament example of an armor bearer as the baseline to understand how God had called Terry to help fulfill his Pastor's...

The battle is real, and you are involved whether you like it or not.

Bonsai
AuthorHarry Tomlinson
ISBN0789496879
Yesterday, I got a medium sized pot, three small cuttings, and a moss patch at my local greenery while browsing on a whim, and only thought to pick up this book once I was near the register. Bad idea. Turns out I've picked the wrong type of pot and should have gotten several tools.

This book covers...
