| Author | Stephen E. Ambrose |
| ISBN | 0743449746 |
It is the young men born into the false prosperity of the 1920s and brought up in the bitter realities of the Depression of the 1930s that this book is about. The literature they read as youngsters was anti-war and cynical, portraying patriots as suckers, slackers and heroes. None of them wanted to be part...

| Author | Jonathan Edwards |
| ISBN | 0851513514 |
Admittedly, I edited this book, but as an editor (compared to being an author), I can brag about it. This book is the first time, in a single volume, that Jonathan Edwards original manuscripts of his famous work Charity and Its Fruits appears for the public. Every other edition is a highly edited version....
Wild at Heart Revised and Updated: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul
God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure...

The Time Between the Old and New Testament: A Zondervan Digital Short
| Author | Henry H. Halley |
| ISBN | 0310496284 |
This is a great introduction to the history of the inter-testamental period! Like the subtitle implies, it is definitely short (I think it took me about an hour to read through it all), so don't expect a great amount of detail or history. But as an introductory overview, it excels. I've always been a little...
| Author | Stephen R. Lawhead |
| ISBN | 0745940323 |
I started this book a looooong time ago, and for awhile I was reading it steadily. But then I got to the final book of the trilogy (it's one of those giant volumes with three books in one), and I put it down for weeks. I finally finished it up to a very underwhelming ending. The proselytizing just got to be too...
