The Final Summit ~ Andy Andrews

This book is the second book about David Ponder and the great way he gets to see history and the meaning behind life. I describe this book along with the first book - The Traveler's Gift as the modern version of the Christmas classic, It's a wonderful life. You do not need to read the first book to enjoy this book. The 2nd chapter covers the whole meaning behind the first book and gives a very brief catch up version. This version has Gabriel the Archangel, come back and join David to get all of the so called "travelers" to gather and save all of humanity. The story continues with many twist and turns.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first. It really makes you realize that history is a way of life and you can not change or control the outcome. Everyone is put on earth for a reason and everyone has a purpose, you just don't know what it is until it is time for you to know. I really enjoyed both books.

We Shall See God - Randy Alcorn

This is a daily devotional book that is all about HEAVEN. It is a book that combines the Sermons from Charles Spurgeon and comentary from Randy Alcorn on each day. You will find the setting to be the same on each daily devotional, it will start with the title and reference of the sermon, a date of when it was preched and the place it was preached at. It explains in a short paragraph of the background of why Spurgeon was preaching on the subject that day and includes scripture. It then gives a short condesed version of the sermon (which if you want the whole sermon you can research it from Spurgeon's many volume's of printed sermons- the begining of the devotional explains where to find more information.) After the sermon, you then receive a commentary from Alcorn.

This is a very small, hand held devotional, that is a great and fast read for each day. You can use it as a daily devotional or you can just pick up and start reading anyplace you want. Each day has a title, so you are able to know the subject of that daily devotion. (in case you are looking for something)

I would recommend this to everyone, it is a true gift of GOD's word and all about Heaven.

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.

Max on Life ~ Max Lucado

This book is the new one from Max and the title is exactly what it covers, questions on life. It is broken down by subjects and has an easy to look up index, allowing the reader to find just what they are looking for. Max has put a question on top of the page and then answers it, in a very easy to read and easy to understand form. The book has covered the basic questions on faith and refers the answers to be found in the bible. I am a big Max fan and have read most of his books. This one is a very light read for me, since I am used to his more in depth and one subject books. I found that some of the material in this book has been covered in other Max books. This is a good book to give to those that have the basic questions of faith. It is also a good reference book when you need to give the quick answer when asked a certain question. I would recommend this book as a light read, a reference guide and could be used as a daily devotional.
