Don't Miss the Boat

From the back of the book:
Don't Miss the boat provides various perspectives on the biblical account of the Great Flood that speak to both the technical and scientific evidence we see around the world today.  This book contains information for the layman who wants to know the basics, as well as the solid evidence that can be shared with anyone.  Theological considerations, historical essays, and scientific implications are included, as well as fictional representations that convey the emotional power of God's judgement on a wicked pre-Flood world, rounding out this unique resource

Paul Taylor has written a book to help clear up the facts about the flood.  This is an easy to read, easy to understand book written for the everyday person to clearly understand why we had the flood, what happened during and after the flood.   He also discussed fossils, the design of the ark, and the ice age.  

Mr. Taylor has done an extensive research on this topic, and although there is great detail, we must remember that this is the word of one man, and one interpretation.   I was confused as to why in the Chapter "The World Before the Flood" he would use books from the aprocrypha for reference.

This is a NIV version Chronological approach Study Bible.  What I really like about this Bible is that it has the cross references side by side for you to compare, this is especially noticeable in the Gospels.  You will find Matthew, Mark and Luke all together side by side on one page.  I also liked the time lines that were printed at the bottom of the pages.

This Bible is a great study tool, it's easy to read, and helps the reader by having all the references on the same page.

The Bible I received was hard cover, which allows for durability for lots of use.   The print was a good size font, that was easy to read, and it was easy to flip through the pages, and find passages quickly.
I would definitely recommend this Bible to anyone that studies the scriptures!

These are amazing little quick reads for young girls and teens.   They are well written, very knowledgeable, and easy to read.  These books are small, but they are packed with great information for young girls and teens.

The Seven Kingdoms, Darkening Lands

Book Description:  "For the first time in over a thousand years the Seven Kingdoms of Justava are at peace with each other. As age old tensions melt away, the people are able to rest easily in their homes, safe in the knowledge that war will trouble them no longer. But a new power is growing in the heart of Justava, an unseen malice that threatens to destroy the fragile peace and throw Justava back into chaos and war.
With the evil Necromancer Empire spreading to every corner of the Seven Kingdoms, it falls upon two young elves who lost everything to this new evil to make a stand. Together, Brenik and Nalia must overcome age old prejudices and travel deep into the wilds of Justava in order to raise their banner and ignite the fires of rebellion."

For those that love fantasy, with lots of elves, demons, vampires etc... this is the book for you!  Very well written, it keeps your attention and draws you into a land that battles good against evil.   

This book would be enjoyed by all age groups, and especially those who enjoy the fantasy type novel.   I do see the beginnings of a series here!

Daybreak

From the back of the book:

"Sometimes the sun is more than just the sun and night is more than just night." The sun rose on Jacob after his wrestling match with God. A new day dawned and he had a new name to match his new life. A similar call for daybreak is made for Christians today: come out of the darkness and into God's marvelous light (1 Pet 2.9). As Christians, we must not live in the night. We have experienced our own daybreak and should walk in the light-but far too often, we find the darkness alluring. DAYBREAK examines the call to overcome temptation, a closer look at the enemy, and some practical principles for winning the battle with sin.

I really enjoyed this book, it's important to remember that we are to be shining lights, reflecting Him, the one who made us.   The darkness is where evil and sin hides, when God shines His light the sin is exposed.  This book is aptly titled.   Nathan Ward, in this book discusses what holiness is, who our enemy is (both Satan and ourselves).  Mr. Ward also covers the topic of temptation.

I feel this book is a good tool for new believers, or if you are discipling someone, or maybe someone who is having trouble defeating temptations.

40 days of Grace

From the Publisher:

Rich Miller has spent his ministry trying to help people accept,and then keep accepting, God’s perfect grace. As president of Freedom in Christ Ministries he helped develop the Grace Course which teaches this concept. In 40 Days of Grace, he has gathered his lifetime of reflections into devotional readings that thoroughly explore what it means to live a grace-filled life.

Rich has seen, time and time again, that so many of us start out excited and grateful for God’s saving, rescuing grace, and yet somehow we take a wrong turn. It’s as if we gradually get tricked into believing that somewhere God changed the rules and it’s actually up to us to make the Christian life work. We are drawn into self-effort and forget what it is to live by grace.

40 Days of Grace is a powerful reminder of the Father who loves us and runs to meet His wayward children—a chance to rest in His grace.

Grace is such an important topic to discuss.   First we must think of what God did for us, how much grace He has shown toward each individual.   Now, if we want to be like Him and reflect Him in our lives, what better way than to show grace?    In his book Rich Miller has given a 40 day step on how to get us to think about grace and how to apply grace.   

This would be an excellent study book for groups, or on your own.  In any situation I think that it is a book that all Christians should read.

Bake Through the Bible

From the back of the book:

Bake through he Bible helps parents with young children to explore the Bible with their child while having lots of fun cooking together.  

This book contains 20 Bible stories, told in a simple engaging style, that take your child through the whole story line of the Bible.  Each story is supported by a cooking activity that reinforces the main teaching, along with questions to discuss while cooking, and a simple recap to use when enjoying what they've cooked.

The recipes are delicious, easy to make and with simple ingredients.  In my eyes this book is a winner!
