The Whole Bible Story ~ Dr. William H. Marty

This book is the whole story of the bible in plain english and reads like a story book. This book is not the bible with details or sermons it is to be used as a tool. It is a great read to use as a study guide then you grab your bible and read the real stuff with all the details. I liked how it read and you could just pick it up and read from begining to end, or just pick any chapter. It covers all the people of the bible and gives you the basic of what their purpose for GOD's use was. At the begining of each chapter it gives a list of characters and place of setting so you are able to look up certain people you would like to know about. Each chapter ends with a short summary and contains maps and reference verses throughout the whole book.

I would defientely recommend this book to everyone, it is a great read!!

Radical Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream ~ David Platt

I was excited to read this book as everyone was raving about it. The book started with good expectations, I loved the first chapter that explained how American churches were using the bible and turning GOD into an "American GOD". It is heavy with missionary work and going to the ends of the earth theme. I am a firm believer in Mission work and spreading GOD's word as the bible tells us to. However, this book is just that, each chapter is the same message. It is a great book to teach mission work and makes you realize how other countries are not as blessed as Americans are to be able to have freedom to worship and tell about JESUS. I hope this book reaches those American's that take our freedom to tell the truth of GOD for granite just what others have to do to learn and what they sacrifice for the word of GOD.

The end of the book gives a one year challenge for all to take. It contains the following challenges: Pray for the entire world, read through the entire Bible, sacrifice money for a specific purpose, spend time in another context, commit to a multiplying community.

I would recommend this book to others and would encourage this book to be read by everyone.

Knock'em Dead 2011 25th Anniversary ~ Martin Yate CPC

This book is for those on a job search or ready to change careers. The book covers doing a resume, questions from the interview, negotiating pay, interview followup, where the jobs are, and gives the fast growing occupations.

I found this book very helpful and useful as I was in the middle of a career change when I received this in the mail. I read over the questions and it was helpful, but readers of this book need to realize this is a tool.... don't memorize the answers you need to study the question and answer it to what fits your need. I felt this book was a help in my next career search and would recommend it to those that are ready for the next chapter of their careers. It does have chapters that caterer to those right out of high school of college.
