Ramblings of a Jesus-follower, husband, father, pastor, adjunct professor, writer, and someone who really needs to exercise more
A Christian movie is coming out in March 2017 that, I predict, will have a domestic total gross income of well over $100 million. Thousands upon thousands of Christians will flock to the theaters to see it. After all, the movie is based upon a book (originally published – May 2007) that began as a […]
Read MoreI recently downloaded the ChristianAudio app onto my smartphone and rediscovered some books I had purchased a few years ago. In the mix was a book that I had, for some unknown reason, never listened to. It was “The Race Before Us” by Bruce Matson. I completed the book recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here’s why…It’s […]
Read MoreOne of the many books I’m reading right now (I have a problem with tackling too many at one time) is John Piper’s book “Desiring God.” It is one he wrote many years ago and yet its truths are still speaking comfort and hope into the hearts of those who read it. One quote that […]
Read MoreI received my hardcopy of “Handbook to Prayer” today. However, I’ve been using this resource for a few years. With the only exception of Peter Lord’s “2959 Prayer Plan”, this book has been the most influential and beneficial tool I’ve used to assist my prayer life.

This book will help you to understand the following and so much more: how prone we are to use unbiblical methods to make decisions, […]
Read MoreI obtained my free copy of “Every Man’s Battle” from Multnomah for review. (A handful of women looking at that title may have a handful of different ideas regarding what the book is about. A stadium filled with thousands of men would provide only one answer … and it would be correct.) I handpicked this […]
Read MoreRob Bell’s book, Love Wins, has recently hit the shelves and will no doubt stir a lot of debate. The remarkable thing is that many who claim the title “evangelical” will champion it … a point I find remarkable for the reasons I give here. I purchased the book yesterday, devoured it and am posting my […]
Read MoreThis is an incredible, sobering book! It is so easy for us who enjoy the freedom of the West to forget that many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are presently experiencing persecution for their faith. We read of Jesus’ words in John 15:20, “Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A slave is […]
Read MoreI obtained my free copy of “90 Days of God’s Goodness” from Multnomah for review. I handpicked this book because of my love for Randy Alcorn’s writings and I was not disappointed. Let me outline why this book should be read by every Christian. First, for anyone who has experienced, is experiencing or will experience […]
