Book Reviews

  • A Return to Reading

    OK, this title is admittedly a bit of an overstatement, but to understand why you need some context. For all of my life I have been a voracious reader. In most of my adult years I have read dozens of books each year. For many of those years I had the discipline of reading a Read more

  • The Noah Movie: Storytelling

    Let’s begin where the Book does… 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 Read more

  • Why I Read

    Unless you don’t know me very well yet you probably know that I am a book geek… no, really… I am. It has always been that way. For the last 9 years or so I have upped the ante even by my own standards. I’ve been reading at least a book each week. An honest Read more

  • Week #2: Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller

    I like books that challenge norms. That says alot about me I know. Facts are facts. This book definitely challenges the conventions of Christianity. Donald Miller tells us his personal story of faith and his journey with God from childhood to the present. His honesty is refreshing and… well… honest. He says things that most Read more
