The Unsaved Christian
“Mainstream Cultural Christians aren’t wrapped up in promoting some kind of gospel message. They are simply trying to be nice to others, pursue their idea of personal happiness, pray when something bad happens, and rest in the belief that they are going to heaven after they die." Does this sound like you or someone you know?
An Extravagant Death
Part historical fiction, part Sherlock Holmes, and a dash of wit, this book was a fun read for me.

Not super stoked about this book— mainly because if this had a movie rating it would be…

The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
In a culture where the individual is king, our personal thinking is heavily influenced, rather- manipulated, by the masses. I don't know about you, but I'd like to do my own thinking and Trueman's book will at the very least help you become more aware of the potential 'why' you think the things you do.
The Gospel as Center
"Love divorced from truth is not love, and truth divorced from love is not truth."

"But it is gone because I have fed the fire, and it wants more wood."
Marathon
This book shows us one example of the dangerous consequences of passing unchecked information as fact, or getting all worked up about something that has not been verified by the right sources.
Live Not By Lies
The author makes some very interesting and important points about what is happening in our country today and what the consequences could be.
Extreme Prey
Honestly I think the language hindered my ability to engage or be objective about the storyline and characters but let’s review it anyway.
Lost and Found
This story shows me that Orson Scott Card is a smart, creative, and funny guy who has imagination and sarcasm and the ability to write things that are meaningful.
The Actor’s Life
This book will make you believe that you are actually an aspiring actor.
How To: Absurd Scientific Advice
I think “entertaining and useless” is an accurate description of this book!
Airborne
Sure, it’s a clean read, and I do appreciate that, but I just can’t get to the raving reviews so many others can. Mills doesn’t waste any time getting into it. We immediately find out…
An Anonymous Girl
This book is suspenseful in a very slow way. I found the premise intriguing- participating in a psychological experiment of sorts that becomes a little twisted and…
