In this book, Geisler destroys many claims that atheists make about God not existing. He uses a lot of Bible verses and lists for each argument he makes and discusses evil in an objective manner. He makes a few good points although there are several areas in the book I disagree with such as God creating the world corrupt.

BOOK REVIEW: GRAY MATTER by David Levy, MD is a great read. Once you start you won't want to put it down. Dr. Levy is a Jewish-born Christian neurosurgeon. He finds himself convicted to pray for his patients before their surgeries. This book is about his experiences in introducing prayer to his practice, and sharing it's results for his patients as well as himself.
Dr. Levy's stories are fantastic, it's hard to put the book down. He gives us insight into his career as a neurosurgeon and tells us about the difference prayer makes in one's life. He also talks about when things don't go our way. This book is heart wrenching but precious.

I have been on a retreat and found this book to be a perfect guide for a personal retreat, possibly small groups, home Bible study groups, and of course, church retreats. Use it as a guide to get closer to God. There are six sessions laid out for you with an introduction. This book can be completed in one day.

Background information such as word meanings and settings are given for each scripture passage. The closing for each session includes the same prayer. Questions and prompts are given with a space for readers to respond.
This is the first book of Jan Johnson's I have reviewed, I like her style and you can tell she has experienced a close relationship with God.

This is a continuing saga of Gabrielle Fairbanks and how she rebuilds her life after being put out on the streets by her husband.

At this point in her relationship with the Lord, Gabby is learning to depend on Him instead of her friends. This book is an excellent read, you won't want to put it down once you start.

This book is about the practice of daily prayer. I’ve not been aware of the liturgical prayers before and this is something definitely worth researching.
The Bible gives us instructions to pray without ceasing. You may struggle with this concept but Robert Benson explains the purpose and importance of the daily prayers in detail and gives several good analogies. His writing style is comfortable and understandable.
God loves for us to spend time with Him and daily prayers are the way the ancients did it. There are examples in the back of the book to get you started.

I recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn more about the ancient practice of saying the office of the hours.

LOVE. A Fruit of the Spirit Bible Study Review.

I lead a ladies bible study weekly and am always looking for new studies so I was happy to see this one listed for review. I have to say I am pleased with it and plan to add it to my list of potential studies.

There are questions for group discussion and for personal reflection, a place to write notes or prayers are also in the book.

This is a 6 week study, great for new believers. The examples given through scripture will open your eyes and soften your heart.

The week on forgiveness will remind you of how God has forgiven us and how we are to forgive others.

A Book Review.

Dr. Stanley has done it again! This book is extremely helpful to anyone, even if you don't think you have anger issues.... the world is an angry place!

As Dr. Stanley points out anger can sometimes be buried deep within us. He brings scripture to light and helps one to realize there is a way to deal with anger and unforgiveness and be in peace with ourselves and those around us. He gives the signs of pending anger and helps us understand the consequences of our anger.

Dr. Stanley's knowledge and teaching helped me to recognize the anger I was hoarding and taught me how to deal with it.
