We’re back with more books and board game combinations! If you read THAT book… try THIS board game!
Holier Than Thou
“If there is anything I want this work to do, it’s to show you God. There is no one greater. No one better. No one worthy of our entire selves, and I believe that as you see him as he is, you’ll want to be just like him too. Holy.”
Beyond Reasonable Doubt
“It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.” — Voltaire
Water Moon
“Losing your way is oftentimes the only way to find something you did not know you were looking for.”
Women of the Word
“Sound Bible study transforms the heart by training the mind and it places God at the center of the story.”
I Must Betray You
“His words still haunt me. ‘You’re Cristian Florescu and I know what you’ve done.’”
The Language of Rivers and Stars
“Nature gave the word ‘glory’ a meaning for me. I still do not know where else I could have found one.” —C.S. Lewis
Gone Dark
“This wasn’t a rescue mission anymore. It was a crime scene.”
Photograph
“That’s why my mother is dead. It started with a photograph.”
Art and Faith
“Let us reclaim creativity and imagination as essential, central, and necessary parts of our faith journey. Imagination is a gift given to us by the Creator to steward, a gift that no other creature under heaven and earth has been given.”
First Love, Second Draft
“There were only two ways this forced reunion of theirs could end— a passionate reconciliation that led to the renewal of their vows… or a double homicide.”
The Kill Artist
“As always he was struck by the similarities between the craft of restoration and the craft of killing. The methodology was precisely the same: study the target, become like him, do the job, slip away without a trace.”
The Last Murder at the End of the World
“Sometimes the only way to win the game is to let the pieces think they’re the ones playing it.”
Sunrise on the Reaping
“That’s part of our trouble. Thinking things are inevitable. Not believing change is possible.”
Save Me an Orange
I don’t know what makes good poetry, but this book made me think about it…
The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God
“The love of God in our culture has been purged of anything the culture finds uncomfortable. The love of God has been sanitized, democratized, and above all sentimentalized.”
Rift
“There’s a lot of history here in the region, and where there’s a lot of history somewhere, you can be sure you’ll find a lot of tragedy. And where there’s a lot of tragedy, there always seem to be a lot of ghosts— or at least stories about them.”
The Nicene Creed
The 1700 year anniversary of Christianity’s first official creed: how did it come to be, what does it mean, and why does it matter?
No Time to Be Dumb
“You can’t afford the time that stupid sin will take. There is no time to have the dumb years… The longer you stretch things out, the more of your life you are wasting.”
