Questioning Evangelism by Randy Newman

Book description:

You don't need to memorize evangelical formulas or answers. You just have to be willing to ask.

There was something different about the way Jesus communicated with the lost: He didn't force answers upon people, He asked questions. So why don't we?

Following Christ's lead, Randy Newman has been using a questioning style of evangelism for decades. In this provocative book, he provides practical insights to help Christians engage others in meaningful spiritual conversations. He challenges us to examine how we think about people, their questions, and our crucial message.

This second edition includes a new preface reflecting on the popularity of this perennial best seller and what its success has taught Newman about the effectiveness of this extraordinary method.

My review:

  This book intrigued me when I read the blurb about it in the review opportunity. I don't read and review enough non-fiction titles, so I decided to review it. I found the book as interesting as it sounded in the description.

 If you pay attention while reading the Gospels, Jesus asked a lot of questions. When people asked Him questions, He often replied back with a question of His own. This often showed the motive and reasons behind the person's question.

 The author does a great job of showing how we Christians today can apply this same method to our evangelizing and also in dealing with tough questions from others. He covers such topics as why are Christians so intolerant, why are Christians so homophobic, why does God allow so much pain and suffering, and other such questions. He also spends some time on why questions are better than answers. 

 The book is an interesting, engaging, and helpful read. I have never thought about using this method of evangelizing and of dealing with tough questions, but I am definitely intrigued by the idea of it after reading this book. The author did a great job of getting his ideas across in an interesting way, and I feel this is a book that will be helpful to many Christians.

 I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

About the author:

From Randy's website: "I want to pursue the integral (whole, unified, tied-together) nature of things. I see connections between ideas, common ground between people, and overlap where others see conflict. I see God’s fingerprints in all areas of life, not just the so-called religious ones.

I’ve had the privilege of serving in ministry on college campuses, at the Pentagon, in churches, and in various academic settings. My writing has opened doors to teach the Bible and to train people in communicating their faith in dialogical and respectful ways.

Some major influences in my life have been (in no particular order) C. S. Lewis, Francis Schaeffer, D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, Ralph Winter, George Elden Ladd, Dallas Willard, John Stott, George Marsden, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Victor Hugo, Antonin Dvorak, Abraham Joshua Heshel, Claude Monet, and the Marx Brothers. My highest priorities are loving God, advancing His kingdom, and loving my family.

You could say that some other big deals in my life are theology, Judaism, academia, literature, music, beauty, and laughter."

The Good Book by Deron Spoo

Book description:

The Good Book Church Campaign is an easy-to-use, 8-week program that engages churches and age-appropriate small groups in the Bible's 40 biggest ideas and teaches how God's truths can transform their lives.

The Good Book is more than just a book or curriculum. It is a movement focusing on bringing the major themes of the Bible to today's church in an approachable and accessible way. So whether you're a new believer who hasn't read any of the Bible, or an experienced Christian who has read through the Bible many times, The Good Book will help you understand what the Bible teaches and how it truly is one cohesive story.

The Good Book offers a user-friendly guide to 40 of the Bible's biggest ideas. By encouraging readers to spend five days a week reading the book and their Bible, Deron Spoo helps them understand the context and content of the Bible in a way that can open the whole Bible to them.

Designed as a 40-day journey through 40 key chapters of the Bible, The Good Book will appeal to those who already love and read the Bible regularly as well as to those who are just beginning their Christian journey.

My review:

  I really liked the idea of this book when I read about it, and the foreword by one of my favorite authors sealed my deciding to review the book.

 What the author is doing with this book, is taking the 40 key passages of Scripture and putting them in one book, along with some commentary after each section. One reason behind the book is for new Christians to get a better grasp on these key passages from the Bible, instead of them getting lost in passages that they don't understand. I can attest it is also valuable for those of us who have been Christians for several years and have grown up in the church. I know I tend to read the same verses and passages over and over for my devotions, so it is nice to have this book that pulls out some of the passages I should be reading and focusing on.

 The book is well written and put together very well. It is obvious the author did a lot of study and research and didn't settle on these 40 passages quickly and without much thought. His commentary after each section is well said and valuable also. I would definitely recommend this book to any Christian, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey.

Weaver's Needle by Robin Caroll

Book description:

Two recovery specialists.
One murder.
A hunt for the Dutchman's Lost Gold Mine becomes a race of survival.

Former Army MP Landry Parker fell into the recovery specialist role quite by accident—to help her ailing father. Now that she’s on her own, she is determined to prove herself and honor her family legacy.

After being shot in the line of duty, former police officer Nickolai Baptiste became a recovery specialist, and he’s good at his job—maybe even the best.
           
A potential client pits Landry and Nickolai against one another to find the Dutchman’s Lost Gold Mine map that was stolen from her murdered husband, and the potential payday is too enticing to pass up. The trail takes them from New Orleans to Weaver’s Needle in Arizona where legend claims the mine is hidden. Landry and Nickolai are no strangers to adventure, but the unlikely partners quickly discover there’s someone after the treasure and there are those who want to ensure the lost mine in Arizona’s Superstition Mountain stays lost forever.

Can Landry and Nickolai work together despite their distrust of each other to save the legend before more innocent lives are lost? Will they find the real treasure isn’t the gold, but something more valuable. . .true love and understanding?

My review:

 What do you get when you throw together a treasure hunt, romance, Indian folklore, and a competition to find a treasure map? An awesome book, that is what you get...... though it took more than tossing those things together. There is some quality writing here.

 I have been a fan of Robin Caroll's books since I first discovered her when she was writing for Broadman and Holman Publishing. I liked and eagerly read everything she wrote. It has been a while since she has written anything, so I was excited to see this book coming...... and was not disappointed after the seemingly endless wait. This is possibly her best, and that is saying a lot.

 I loved the characters and their interplay, especially the main two. You knew they were going to fall for each other, even though they were competitors, but it was still fun to read about. I love a good treasure hunt story, and that aspect of the book really kept my interest, made all the more captivating by the attempts to stop the dynamic duo from finishing their quest.

 The suspense was top notch, and I wasn't sure who the bad guy was for most of the book, though I was not surprised at his identity.

 Caroll also did a great job of describing the settings for her novel, and it made me want to go explore and look for hidden treasure also.

 Though the book is fictional, it IS based on a true treasure, which made the story more appealing.

 To sum it up: Awesome book, and I enjoyed every page of it. Robin has done herself and Christian fiction proud with her latest novel.

 I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

52 Amazing Things That Became True of You The Moment You Trusted Christ by Stephen Kuhn

Book description:


The Bible uses many different words to describe what happens to people when they trust Christ. The most common phrase is "in Christ." But what exactly does that mean? This compact book unpacks 52 key verses from Scripture that reveal God's answer to the question of a Christian's true identity. Here is a unique, one-of-kind collection with in-depth commentary and life application insight to help readers discover the full depth of what God has already changed in believers. Changes that are already done.


My review:

 I like all sorts of books, but really enjoy ones like these. They can be read at one sitting, or read a chapter or two at a time.

  The author came up with a neat idea and made it into this book. Backed up with Scripture, there are 52 things that become true of us when we become Christians. I don't agree with him on all 52, as he is a Calvinist and I am not.... but he still did a great job of compiling what I feel to be mostly true things that are true of us at that point.

  I liked the author's writing style, and did enjoy the book.....even the parts I disagreed with.

  I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

About the author:

Stephen Kuhn has been leading recovery groups, speaking at college campuses, and providing free online counseling through Belt of Truth Ministries ever since he got steamrolled by Jesus and set free from the chains of porn addiction. His passion is to allow God to use the story of redemption in his life to encourage other men to seek healing through the work of Christ as well.

Like most native Oregonians, Stephen enjoys a good rain shower and probably drinks too much coffee. He spends his weekends hiking, climbing, and skiing, but his greatest joy is playing dress-up with his daughters.

Fatal Mistake by Susan Sleeman

An FBI agent must protect the woman who can identify a terrorist bomber in bestselling author Susan Sleeman's riveting romantic suspense novel. 

Each day could be her last...but not if he can help it.

Tara Parrish is the only person ever to survive an attack by the Lone Wolf bomber. Scared and emotionally scarred by her near death, she goes into hiding with only one plan--to stay alive for another day. She knows he's coming after her, and if he finds her, he will finish what he started.

Agent Cal Riggins has had only one goal for the past six months--to save lives by ending the Lone Wolf's bombing spree. To succeed, he needs the help of Tara Parrish, the one person who can lead them to the bomber. Cal puts his all into finding Tara, but once he locates her, he realizes if he can find her, the Lone Wolf can, too. He must protect Tara at all costs, and they'll both need to resist the mutual attraction growing between them to focus on hunting down the bomber, because one wrong move could be fatal.

My review:

  I have read a couple of books by Susan Sleeman, and liked what I read. This is her first trade paperback full length novel, her others being mass market paperbacks. I was happy to see she was coming out with a full length trade paperback novel, and I was not disappointed.

 What I liked about the book:

The plot; It fit with the modern day ISIS acts of terror. It was different enough of a plot that it didn't sound juts like other books or other plots by terrorists.

The suspense: This was a very suspenseful read. You knew who the bad guy was from the start of the book...everyone knew, but the attempts to catch him while protecting the woman he was trying to kill kept me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next.

The characters: I liked the whole FBI team. They all had unique personalities that Sleeman took time to cultivate and describe. I liked the main two characters the best of course, and was rooting for their romance. I am guessing there will be other books centering around the other FBI agents....I am hoping so. :)

 I even liked the bad guy...... not in an admire sort of way, he was just a great bad guy.

The faith aspect: Both main characters had trust issues with God, something I and many others can relate to. I appreciated that part of the story and it added a lot to the plot.

  Sleeman tied all of these things together to make a pulse pounding novel of suspense that I thoroughly enjoyed, and it had a great ending worthy of such a great book.

Forensic Faith by J. Warner Wallace

About the book:

Why Are You A Christian?

J. Warner Wallace has asked this question in churches across America over the past several years, and the answer he gets is often disappointing; it's almost always rooted in some sort of personal, subjective experience. As a community, we Christians aren't typically prepared to make the case for why we believe Christianity is true from the objective evidence of history, philosophy or science. Worse yet, many of us don't think we have any obligation to do so.

Forensic Faith helps readers:
understand why they have a duty to defend the truth

develop a training strategy to master the evidence for Christianity

learn how to employ the techniques of a detective to discover new insights from God's Word

become better communicators by learning the skills of professional case makers

With real-life detective stories, fascinating strategies, and biblical insights, Wallace teaches readers cold-case investigative disciplines they can apply to their Christian faith. Forensic Faith is an engaging, fresh look at what it means to be a Christian.

My review:

  This is one of the most unique books I have read and reviewed. One of my first thoughts was "what a cool book!" Using his law experience, the author uses investigative methods to investigate Christianity and why we are Christians, and why it is true.

  He also gives methods for the reader to further investigate our faith and God's Word.  This approach is very novel and different, but I found myself reading on and learning in a very enjoyable way how not to only understand my faith better, but to also defend it better. This book is a great apologetics resource that approaches apologetics from a more fun and interesting way than the average book on the market.

 I found the book interesting, enjoyable, and very helpful. I highly recommend it.

 I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

About the author:

J. Warner Wallace is a cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author. He continues to consult on cold-case investigations while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. He is also an adjunct professor of apologetics at Biola University and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. J. Warner was a conscientious and vocal atheist until the age of thirty-five, when he took a serious and expansive look at the evidence for the Christian Worldview and determined that Christianity was demonstrably true. After becoming a Christ follower in 1996, Jim continued to take an evidential approach to truth as he examined the Christian worldview. He eventually earned a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.

J. Warner served as a Youth Pastor for several years, then planted a church in 2006. Along the way, he created and built the Cold-Case Christianity website, blog and podcast as a place to post and talk about what he discovered related to the evidence supporting Christianity. Jim has appeared on television and radio, explaining the role that evidence plays in the Christian definition of “faith” and defending the historicity of Jesus, the reliability of the Bible and the truth of the Christian worldview. Jim also speaks at churches, retreats and camps as he seeks to help people become confident Christian case makers. J. Warner’s book, Cold-Case Christianity, provides readers with ten principles of cold case investigations and utilizes these principles to examine the reliability of the gospel eyewitness accounts. In God’s Crime Scene, he investigates eight pieces of evidence in the universe to make the case for God’s existence.

J. Warner’s professional investigative work has received national recognition; his cases have been featured more than any other detective on NBC’s Dateline, and his work has also appeared on CourtTV and Fox News. He also appears on television as an investigative consultant (most recently on truTV) and had a role in God’s Not Dead 2, making the case for the historicity of Jesus. J. Warner was awarded the Police and Fire Medal of Valor “Sustained Superiority” Award for his continuing work on cold-case homicides, and the CopsWest Award after solving a 1979 murder. Relying on over two decades of investigative experience, J. Warner provides his readers and audiences with the tools they will need to investigate the claims of Christianity and make a convincing case for the truth of the Christian worldview.

The Heart-Shaped Life Daily Devotional by Karen Moore

Book description:

Inspiration for a Heart-Shaped Life
  
What if you could see the world through the lens of the heart moment by moment?
What if God inspired you to walk “heart first” into every life event and circumstance, no matter what it was?
What if love was your number one priority? Love of God, love of others, and love of yourself? 

Inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:2: "If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about what is going to happen in the future, knew everything about everything, but didn’t love others, what good would it do?" . . .the Heart-Shaped Life series will encourage you to live life “heart first.” 

The Heart-Shaped Life Daily Devotional provides refreshing thoughts, prayers, and scripture selections to help you discover the best path to the good life. . .which is all about LOVE! 

My review:

  When I first saw this devotional, I thought it was for women. It has that look. However, after looking through it and reading several of the daily devotionals in it, I can say it is for men and women both.

 This IS a 365 day devotional, plus it has one for Leap Year, February 29. Each day has a title, followed by a Scripture verse, then the actual devotional, and ending with a short prayer. An aside: I like the looks of each page, a lot of red and blue.

 Each devotional is centered around love in some sort of day, and the author does a great job of getting a whole year out of that one topic..... but it is something we need.

 I found the devotionals I read very encouraging, interesting, and helpful in this area of loving God, others, and even myself. I definitely recommend it - for men and women.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Local Poet by Paul Trembling

Book description:


Rob Seaton Killed a Woman.

Rob doesn't know Laney Grey. But when she steps out in front of his van and dies on impact, his life will never be the same. He has to know who she was, why she chose to die, and why he had to be part of her death.

To understand her, he must learn to read her poetry. To know her, he must unravel the mysteries of her past. As Laney's dark secret starts to come to light, and authorities get involved, Rob must learn the full truth and quickly.

But truth comes at a cost and someone must pay...will Rob be the one?


My review:

  I had a little trouble liking and getting into this book at first..... it just was kind of weird. However, the further I read, the more I got  into the book and actually liked it after all.

  The author came up with a unique plot: a man hitting and killing a woman he didn't know, then trying to learn as much about her as he could through her poems.

 I found myself liking the main character a lot. To imagine through this fictional guy the emotions you may go through if you were in his shoes, was interesting. I am not into poetry, so I found most of the poems odd, but they did add to the story.

 The bad guys, shooting, and crime came as a surprise.....a welcome surprise, since I like suspense and mystery.

 There was a surprise ending and everything made sense at the end.

 I was disappointed in some bad language, but there was not a lot of it. Over all, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

A Fragile Hope by Cynthia Ruchti

Book description:

Hope grows when seeds are planted---even in the muddy middle of life.

Josiah Chamberlain's life's work revolves around repairing other people's marriages. When his own is threatened by his wife's unexplained distance, and then threatened further when she's unexpectedly plunged into an unending fog, Josiah finds his expertise, quick wit and clever quips are no match for a relationship that is clearly broken. 

Feeling betrayed, confused, and ill-equipped for a crisis this crippling, he reexamines everything he knows about the fragility of hope and the strength of his faith and love. Love seems to have failed him. Will what's left of his faith fail him, too? Or will it be the one thing that holds him together and sears through the impenetrable wall that separates them?

My review:

   I normally don't read books by this author, as she writes romance. However, I read a Christmas novel by her that I really enjoyed, so I decided to give this book a try. I like it a lot. Possibly because it focuses a lot on the male character, so it reads more like a man's book, in my opinion.

 Due to something I won't give away because of spoilers, the female lead is not active in the book much, so most of the interplay is between the male lead and other characters in the book. The book is a great read, and the author does a great job of showing what can break down a marriage, and the steps people should take to fix it.

 I liked the main character, Josiah, a lot. He had messed up badly, but when dealt a major curve ball, he stuck with his wife and was by her side for days, even when she was not responsive to him or anyone else.

 This is an encouraging and interesting read that shows God can work even when humans have messed up. Definitely 5 stars.

 And an aside: A coworker saw this book at work and asked to read it, She said she loves the author's books. After I loaned it to her, she discovered it was not the author she thought - Jodi Piccoult, but she still very much enjoyed the book and cried at the end - as did I.

Think Again by Jared Mellinger

Evaluating yourself---being mindful of who you are and what you are doing---is necessary and can lead to positive change. But what about the dark side of introspection? Do you ever feel weighed down and exhausted by your own self-analysis? Perhaps you made a mistake, said a careless word, or even messed up big time. Your self-examination spirals into a full-blown cross-examination. You keep revisiting what happened. Your mind circles around the event, fruitlessly trying to somehow make the outcome different so you don't feel the embarrassment, shame, and regret.

The modern self-esteem movement has left us empty and self-focused. We exhaust our healthy introspection and pervert it into constant self-evaluation, wrong views of ourselves, self-accusation, and false guilt. Introspection was never meant to bear such weight.

Think Again offers real relief from the burden of introspection that so many of us carry each day. Pastor Jared Mellinger, who tends to overdose on self-analysis himself, shows us how the hope of the gospel can rescue us from the bad fruit of unsound introspection. Mellinger's short, story-filled chapters help readers identify and turn away from unhealthy introspection.

There is an outward-focused God who delights to rescue an inward-focused people and lead them into a better way to live. When we truly understand it, we'll see that the gospel actually sets us free from thinking about ourselves too much. 

Book review:

   I am guilty of thinking too much, especially when it comes to things about me. This book sounded like it was written for someone like me, and it indeed was.

 The book is written in an easy to read and interesting style, and the author does a great job of tackling this subject of too much introspection. He shows why it is bad, when the best times to do some introspection is, and when not to do it.

 The part where he addressed false guilt was very helpful to me, as this is a big tripping point for me.

 If you are someone who second guesses yourself constantly, feels guilty for things you should not, and spends way too much time evaluating yourself...... this is a book for you. Mellinger gives some great helpful advice on how to think, but not to think too much, and to get out of the habit of beating oneself up so much. I highly recommend it.
