The Canary List, by Sigmund Brouwer

The Canary List, by Sigmund Brouwer, was the book I chose to review for ‘Blogging For Books’. First, let me say that if you are Catholic, this book is not for you.   This book attempts to do what Dan Brown did in The DaVinci Code – use the Catholic church as a backdrop, then throw [...]

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, by Eric Metaxas

This book was a fascinating read from beginning to end.  I admit that I knew little to nothing about this pastor until the book became available for review from Thomas Nelson publishing.  Boy, did I get great lesson in history! Metaxas does an amazing job of describing who Bonhoeffer was, where he came from, his [...]

Bibleman: Combating the Commandment of Confusion

Bibleman, for those who aren’t familiar with the series, is a Christian “super hero”.  He regularly combats various villians with his trusty sidekicks:  Cypherr and Biblegirl. As an adult, I find the entire video series beyond silly.  It’s low-budget, terrible acting, and borders on obnoxious.  But these videos weren’t made for me.  They’re made for [...]

BURN, by Ted Dekker & Erin Healy

I really wanted to like BURN.  The cover looks super-cool, the blurb on the dust jacket sounded interesting, and it’s Ted Dekker; you just can’t go wrong…right? A couple of years ago I would have given this book a 5-star rating simply because it had Ted Dekker’s name on it.  And let’s face it, there [...]

NKJV GREATEST STORIES of the BIBLE, Thomas Nelson Publishing

How does one really write an objective opinion on the ‘Greatest Stories of the Bible’ anyway? There isn’t any new material to cover, and if you’re even remotely familiar with the Bible, you already know how the stories are going to begin and end. So with that in mind, when I agreed to review NKJV [...]

GREEN, By Ted Dekker

I chose this book to review for the Thomas Nelson Blogger Reviews. I am a huge fan of the Circle Trilogy, so it was with great excitement that I sat down to read ‘Green’. I won’t recap the story for you, however, I will say that while I enjoyed ‘Green’, I didn’t really feel like [...]

KABUL24, by Henry O. Arnold and Ben Pearson

As a Thomas Nelson blog reviewer, I picked up ‘Kabul 24′, by Henry O. Arnold and Ben Pearson to read and review. ‘Kabul 24′ takes you on an ominous journey of what the “SNI 8″ endured during their 105 days in Taliban captivity, and how their faith in God gave them hope when there was [...]

Fearless, by Max Lucado

I chose to review Fearless, by Max Lucado, as my Thomas Nelson blogger review because honestly, you can never go wrong with a Max Lucado book.  Max Lucado has an uncanny way of unpacking scripture like no one I’ve ever read.  It’s all stuff you KNOW…but when Max unpacks it, it just seems to make [...]

The Jesus Book, by Stephen Elkins

The Jesus Book, by Stephen Elkins is by far one of the best books written for children, on the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘when’, ‘where’, and ‘whys’ of Jesus.   The fact that it is illustrated by Claudine Gevry, makes is even better – we love her work! The Jesus Book is written in such a simplistic way, [...]

Deadlock, by Robert Liparulo

Robert Liparulo is fast becoming my favorite author.  Even more so than Ted Dekker.  With his latest book, Deadlock, he just gets better and better. Deadlock is a ‘John Hutchinson’ novel.  I recommend you read Deadfall prior to jumping into this one, as Deadlock is a continuation of the first book.  If you enjoy fast-paced, [...]
